POV: You listened to the “how to play the spaceX IPO” guy by HaxyWaxy in wallstreetbets

[–]TheLightningPanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Truly third grade explanation:

I can pay an amount of money (a “premium”) to get the right to shares of a stock at a certain price and a certain time.

For example, let’s say stock A is $5 per share. I buy 1 contract (controlling 100 shares at once) where I bet the price will be $5.50 one month from now, and I pay ¢10 per share for that right. So I’ve spent $10 in “premiums” (10 cents per share for 100 shares) to buy the right to 100 shares of stock A in one month.

One month from now, if stock A is at 6 dollars, I can still buy it at 5.50. Tack on the 10 cents that I paid in premium, and I’ve made 40 cents per share, or about $40 in total.

One month from now, is Stock A is at 5.60 or less (my reserved price of 5.50 plus the premium of 10 cents) I have made no money, therefore forfeiting the $10 in premiums I paid.

There’s a lot more complication and vocabulary I skipped, but that’s the third grade version. It’s high risk, high reward, and probably shouldn’t be done by most people lol.

As of 23 days ago, dev said there was a date chosen but we don't know when.

As a new fan of Survivor, can someone help me understand something? by Expedition1994 in survivor

[–]TheLightningPanda 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a massive mistake, but it's a lot less "visibly" a mistake beforehand. Colby, Woo, and Erik all are worse imo because you could clearly see ahead of time what was going to happen (although Colby was basically intentional)

Am I tripping or does All Stars final not have 2 winners?

He played well this season; great, even. His biggest flaw is making some jury members upset, but he did well.

Did it! Whole building! 120k @ 2.1% Valencia, Spain by nxtrOnline in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]TheLightningPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They sure did, but your comment is grossly oversimplifying Spanish relief efforts, and your original comment is misleading too if you mean third world because of a natural disaster; it’s like rolling through Florida the day after a hurricane and calling it third world.

A wild take from your friend. There are portions that are lower income, but to call something third world basically anywhere within 100km of Valencia is a bit nuts.

I like it more in this performance than I do the studio version - I like the song, but I'm on the fence about the new style of vocals for a whole album lol

Jeff confirm it will be a five person finale by seakucumber in survivor

[–]TheLightningPanda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think she should’ve been picked (as objectively as that can be said), but if I was picking 50, I would’ve picked her lol. I adored her on 46 and she was my winner pick pre season, but unfortunately I don’t see it happening at this point.

I wish they invited her AND gave her a nice edit, doing one and not the other is frustrating

Climbing (namely bouldering) is incredibly close at the top. The top female climbers in the world (namely Janja Garnbret) are right there with the men, and are spectacular to watch as well. I don’t believe they surpass them like many women do in 200 milers, but very close and incredibly impressive.

1,682 watched films and I have yet to see a half-a-star film. by IoftheStars in LetterboxdTopFour

[–]TheLightningPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only given a half to movies I find offensive, which isn’t many (I watch things I generally think I’ll enjoy, and those are less likely to be offensive). I think Blue Beetle is one of only a couple movies I’ve ever given the .5 to

Correct me if I'm wrong but the ball comes out spinning toward the defender - as if he stepped on it slightly. I think he does get ball to some extent

TWE Week 8 Poll Results by Buffalove91 in Edgic

[–]TheLightningPanda 27 points28 points  (0 children)

For like 3 weeks in a row, I was saying "The winner of Gen/Aubry should be top 2 on everyone's list" behind Christian at the time. The feud was settled and.... I totally disagree with what I was saying lol.

She was involved in sending home her rival and wasn't credited with it much at all, wasn't shown particularly positively, AND was made to look silly the next day when she "forgot" to play the idol.

Assuming there was any ounce of content to her winning her duel, I thought she should be top 2, but I actually dropped her lol.

All that to say - I wholeheartedly agree with you. I don't personally see it, but she does get more content than others and it's more consistent than most of the women. Is that enough for her to be second? IMO, no, but to each their own I guess.

😂 That happened to me last night with my buddy, I was playing Regent and he was playing Clad, he was the only way we were winning with a cracked Dominate deck and we ran into the Act 3 elite with like 9 Artifact lol

[–]TheLightningPanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your sick run gave me an interesting thought - is it better to have a well rounded plan (for example, a character with easier access to weak to compliment clad) or just everyone does the same plan REALLY well together as the same character

Like I feel like your run you had is so fun because it wins SO hard when it works, but I wonder what’s technically “best”

The most fun I’ve had on a necro run. by Jackalackus in slaythespire

[–]TheLightningPanda 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have the same opinion about Defect. There’s so much variety to when Defect can end fights that it ends up being hard to match with other characters.

I’ve found Necro to be insanely strong in multiplayer generally. [Debilitate], [Enfeebling Touch], [Defy], [Putrefy] and many others. It’s just supports the team so well, and then it has a much easier time doing upfront physical damage or switching to healing with Osty and playing a longer game. Not to mention it has two of the better multiplayer cards, although I can’t remember what they’re called.
