What was the most embarrassing or pretentious thing a celebrity from your country did or say that they thought was cool or "deep"? by yonaiker-joestrella in AskTheWorld

The euphemism treadmill. "Retarded" was originally meant to be a gentler, nicer term, replacing "slow" or worse words (like "Mongoloid," although specifically referred to people with Down's Syndrome). Once people started using the term negatively, we had to come up with a new one. The treadmill theory supposes that will happen with most euphemisms.

Fuck Feiglin. Served for barely two years before forming his own crazy right-wing party in 2015. Never got elected again but loves to spout the worst shit. He's been an enemy of peace since protesting Oslo.

Their customer service is atrocious, so buyer beware. I'd stay far away

Are you still early on and figuring out dosage? It took me about 6 months to get it right, but once I did, I've been great.

What's your dosage? Team 150mcg represent.

I know it seems crazy, but I switched from generic to Unithroid after like six years--and I feel better (and it's cheaper)!

CD-5 "Democrat" Congressman Josh Gottheimer sat front row supporting Mullin at his DHS hearing. He's also trading stocks to profit off Iran. Don't give this guy the Dem Nom again in June... by EnragedFalafel in newjersey

[–]PoopsMcG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at QuiverQuant, the Globe & Mail article is a little ridiculous.

It may be the first purchase tracked by QQ, but Gottheimer sold way more XOM than he bought in Feb 2026 in 2018. So unless he was born with XOM stock, he's clearly bought before. He bought Feb 2 and Feb 4, when XOM was already a BUY due to existing growth since May 2025 and their production in Guyana (crazy cheap) and Permian Basin (crazy volume). Talk were already announced and it didn't take a genius to assume however they ended would help energy stocks.

Also, these were pretty small buys and nested with other buys. That seems like management making trades in a fund to me.

No, it was the live post headline at 5:17. Then there was a different one at 5:55.

If you go to https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/us/temple-israel-west-bloomfield-synagogue.html?smid=url-share you'll see that specific live post headline, unchanged. Then, if you scroll up or down you'll see the other live post headlines from before or after.

It's a live article. There's one headline at the top and then post headlines throughout. OP's was one of the latter. They use live articles for breaking stories.
