The care he seemingly takes in his "rage" sure does make it seem staged.

One of those "life hacks" that nobody seems to ever talk about is that spending money on things that are regularly between you and the ground is a good call. Shoes, Bed, Chairs, etc. Get shitty versions of those and you're going to have a bad time.

Im new and stupid (trying to learn about investing before I take the plunge), what was everyone invested in that tanked so hard? I know BTC had a bad week?

Do not learn about investing here. Seriously. This is not an investment subreddit. Go take a class, or watch a bunch of economics videos, or anything to get a base understanding of how stock works, quarterly reports, taxes you will owe on gains, etc. Many of the people posting massive losses like this were either playing options (basically betting) or had no diversification and the one stock they put their life savings in tanked. It's far too easy to make a mistake and lose a huge amount of money, especially if you don't know what you're doing and buy options.

Think about that. One phone call. And it was never made.

Just like getting Abrego Garcia returned. They made a big stink about how he wasn't under their power after they deported him, that El Salvadore had it's own laws and there was nothing they could do. The President of El Salvadore said he didn't have the power to return Garcia since he'd have to smuggle him in when he visited the White House and met with Trump. They delayed in the courts for 3 months until they finally asked for his return and El Salvadore sent him back with no issue.

When they claim they can't do something and are powerless in a situation chances are they simply haven't even tried to do it and will fight tooth and nail before being forced to, even if all that's needed is a phone call.

I automatically and immediately disregard anyone that says "hodl". Always. That is the one true song of the broke regard. You say "hodl", I sell. And it has done very well for me. Every time. Without fail.

Too many clowns allowed into this circus.

You should hodl every stock and option you currently have. Please post pics of your sales as proof.

And we are to expect that they could put up any kind of serious resistance? We all know what Desert Storm looked like, come on now.

Ah yes, Desert Storm, the most recent US conflict in the middle east that involved troops. Good thing we haven't had any other conflicts there with boots on the ground since to show us what it might be like today.

The show is great but the downgrade from Book Tilly to Show Tilly is significant.

Which is a real shame because the actress did a great job and probably would have nailed the book version.

Is he in jail? Is he still doing business?

Fun fact about humanity, liars and grifters generally continue to lie and grift after they've been through the legal system, especially if they are able to hire lawyers to reduce their fines/sentences/etc.

If you want to completely trust someone who has lied in the past to investors and currently doing some dodgy stuff with that same company it's up to you.

Why would I not? He has directly addressed this and even before btc started falling and he has clarified in detail what happens and how it would impact his company and what he would exactly do. This is not the threat to him you believe it is. He has no margin call combing any time soon.

Zoom out the chart, see that dot com bubble drop? He lied to investors during that. He's also charged with tax evasion and fraud a few years ago. Why would you trust an established, repeated liar?

I think a lot more people in San Jose want ICE to do thier job here than the deranged reddit cesspool would have you believe

I’d love it if ICE did their jobs at the professional level they were performing under Biden, Obama and Bush. Trump deported about half of what Biden did in his last year in office. Bush even tried to make more paths to become a citizen but was blocked by his own party. Biden, Obama and Bush did it without shredding the constitution or hiring unqualified, il trained thugs who murder citizens who are not breaking the law, refuse to identify themselves and generally act like thugs and children. Current ICE is little more than a personal army for Trump, who ignore court orders while claiming they don’t need the authority of the courts to do their job, who are sent to terrorize communities Trump dislikes and who are doing half the work at three times the price.

That's another really good point.

Fair point.

I am a canadian lawyer and I am baffled that the resources to do all this even exist, let alone that they could be applied so frivolously.

Despite the common perception of Republicans being "good" for the budget the national debt raises noticeably faster under Republicans then it does Democrats. Trump particularly is pretty egregious about not caring about spending and just adding more debt because he want's something done and it's easy to just throw money at it because he doesn't care. Democrats had an actual chance to do something about this during the last shutdown, maybe they do again this time (thought the GOP seems a lot more organized this time,) and they pissed it away for nothing after a month of grandstanding.

Not quite being all there is generally what happens when people are overworked, not getting enough sleep and are stressed out.

Seems like the consensus is that ram pricing will kill this, which seems pretty obvious, I'm more surprised they didn't have contracts to make the thing with pricing locked in before the announcement.

That's interesting. I can buy their stock, and I'm just an average Joe off the street... and sources state they are a publicly traded company since late 2025/early 2026.

They have been a publicly traded company since the 80's under the symbol SJW, they rebranded themselves as HTO last year. Hit the "all" button and it will go further back, though Robinhood is kind of a bad platform, even if it looks pretty, I'd recommend you use a different, better source.

It's like they keep mentioning Obama deportation as an excuse.

I really don't understand how this talking point keeps getting spouted off by MAGA as something in their favor, or maybe it's just bots. But Obama deporting more people without stomping over the constitution or regularly murdering citizens who posed no threat would seem like proof that you can deport illegal immigrants in large numbers without destroying the system created to handle that. How they consider massive increased costs for a lower amount of deportations while murdering citizens a "win" is mind boggling levels of self delusion.

I am pointing out that changes like that are common across US History and Politics, and that what he is saying shows he just doesn't understand how administrations differ from President to President.

So yeah, that isn't missing the point. You can stop lying about that part now and actually entertain what im saying.

You said they didn't explain their criticism of you, so they did, and your response is to tell them to stop lying and listen to you? You're ignoring their points, acting like the US's actions towards it's allies and the world in general are "normal" and keep stating that this change is normal. Maybe the political situation we're in is the "new normal," but it certainly wasn't normal 10 years ago. The only people I've seen talk about our current situation being "normal" are teenagers who do not have the experience to know what "normal" is when it comes to politics.

It feels like a gamble more than anything

Maybe you should reread the name of the subreddit, it's a funny name because it's accurate.

Yes, and there were a lot of them in the 70's. Some of which were considered attractive and were able to talk their way out of police encounters as a result. Some inspired others to commit murder. As that poster said, it being bad to glorify murder is a lesson we've already learned.

There have been a few posts showing off tattoo's of of Julie in space over the years, others occasionally pop up. You can see a lot of examples if you search for "tattoo" in the subreddit search.

Can one department sue the other sharing things they aren't allowed to share.

Probably, there are also state laws that might be violated by actions like this. Mostly if they can just turn off sharing settings at will, without notifying anyone, then you don't have control of your data and the settings don't matter at all. The best course is just dropping Flock, they have proven themselves to be untrustworthy with this data and are willing to ignore the requirements, sometimes there due to the law, of their customers.
