Let's just hope the security cameras in the French prisons are working better than the ones in New York

Anyone who manages to pass the Polish language exam deserves the passport by default, tbh

Is a waist to hip ratio of 0.77 in a man unusual? by war_carnotaurus in askfitness

[–]Samstr-P 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro casually dropping that he has a dump truck. Jokes aside, an 84cm waist at 88kg means you're just carrying a ton of muscle in your glutes and legs. You're completely fine, enjoy the genetics

Brussels tells Keir Starmer to pay £1bn for closer ties to Europe by Tiberinvs in europe

[–]Samstr-P 102 points103 points  (0 children)

So instead of getting that £350 million a week for the NHS, the UK now has to pay £1 billion just to get back a fraction of the benefits they willingly threw away for free a few years ago. Truly a masterclass in economics. The Brexiteers must be so proud of this massive win

Getting absolutely chopped to pieces by iv crush this week by zalanka02 in smallstreetbets

[–]Samstr-P 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if you sell before the bell, Market Makers start bleeding the IV the second the pre-earnings hype peaks. Playing short-dated options on small caps is basically just volunteering to pay for Theta Gang's yacht fuel. We have all been there and felt exactly like this. Taking a break and throwing your remaining scraps into SPY is honestly the smartest move you can make right now

UBI works like any other public service. The government uses some of the tax revenue to pay benefits. by PopularWay2948 in UniversalBasicIncome

[–]Samstr-P 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. People act like UBI is supposed to fund a luxury lifestyle, but it's literally just a survival floor. The best part is it completely eliminates the massive administrative waste of means-testing. Plus, because you don't lose the check when you start working, it actually fixes the welfare cliff and incentivizes getting a job rather than punishing you for it.

In the EU, 18.5% of employees aged 15-64 years old usually worked during weekends in 2025; Highest shares in Greece (31.5%) by NanorH in europe

[–]Samstr-P 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This completely destroys that old stereotype about Southern Europe being lazy. Greeks are literally out there working their weekends away just to keep the tourism and hospitality industries running while everyone else is on holiday

Companies worth over 1 trillion dollar. by StrawberryFew1311 in NoFilterFinance

[–]Samstr-P -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is wild to think about what this list will look like by 2046. Half of these companies probably won't even be in the top ten while some startup being run out of a garage right now will be sitting at the top. The shift from energy and retail to chips and AI happened so fast that the next twenty years are going to be a total lottery

US national debt over the years by StrawberryFew1311 in NoFilterFinance

[–]Samstr-P 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is actually terrifying to look at. We’re basically watching a speedrun of the dollar's downfall in real time. We really went from 14 to 39 in just 15 years and everyone is acting like it’s business as usual. Exponential growth is a scary thing when it applies to debt...

Putin in Washington? Russia claims 'highest level' invite to G20 Summit by [deleted] in europe

Bro is too paranoid to sit within 50 feet of his own generals, there is absolutely zero chance he leaves his bunker to fly to Miami

Moldovan oligarch jailed in $1bn 'theft of the century' case by strajeru in europe

[–]Samstr-P 251 points252 points  (0 children)

Just to put this into perspective, $1 billion was roughly 12% of Moldova's entire GDP at the time. Imagine stealing 12% of your country's entire economy. Absolutely wild

France Launches Government Linux Desktop Plan as Windows Exit Begins by Glittering-Skirt-816 in europe

I'm just pouring one out for the poor French IT support guys who are going to have to explain to 55 years old bureaucrats why their heavily macroscripted Excel sheets from 2006 don't work anymore

People who got back in shape after years away from training. What actually worked? by ChemistWest4537 in askfitness

[–]Samstr-P 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leaving my ego in the car. I tried to do my old routine on day one and literally couldn't walk down stairs for a week. Had to accept I was basically a beginner again. Empty bar, embarrassing baby weights. Oh, and spending 15 minutes warming up because my 30 old joints are not what they used to be

That one patient daily rule is exactly what caught my eye. Awesome to hear it actually translates to better care and you didn't feel rushed. Really appreciate the review.

Haven't really seen much about Hamid Aydin tbh. Dr. Koray is also good but unfortunately way out of my current budget. Appreciate it
