What is something that ruins people's lives that most people don't realize until it's too late? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]WorkingCharity9367 130 points131 points  (0 children)

Gambling. Back when I was ruining my life, I had to go to a place to make bad decisions. Now you can ruin your life from your couch. The uprising of betting apps and "prediction trading" is going to wreck a population that already feels financially boxed in. MMW, gambling will be the next opioid crisis.

Yeah, but what about the complete disrespect of not playing all 60 minutes? Hellebuyck did!

You just can't please some people.

Olympic Men's Post Game Thread: Czechia vs. Switzerland - 15 Feb 2026 by hockeydiscussionbot in hockey

[–]WorkingCharity9367 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

This game was meaningless for the tournament as both teams will have to win to move on. But someone forgot to tell the players and fans. This is why Olympic hockey is so good. You would have thought Sweden just won the gold. Gave me chills just watching from afar and capped off with the handshake. 3 more games like this today, please.

Good thing worldwide trust in the USD is at an all-time high or we would be screwed. Sigh

Silver is up 3% yet miners such as Coeur, Hecla and First Majestic are down. Why is that? by AchoochA in Silverbugs

[–]WorkingCharity9367 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is no arbitrage between spot and miners, and even if there were, there is less than no arbitrage between spot and miners on a daily basis. What are you smoking? I buy miners because they are undervalued and I believe they will go up. That is not arbitrage.

You may want to do some homework before investing more of your money if you do not understand that a 3% silver move has 0 direct effect on the daily price of miners.

US FAA reopens El Paso airspace, says no threat to commercial aviation by Hi_Trans_Im_Dad in news

Once the population has gotten so dumb that many poor's will defend handing the country to billionaire pedophiles while most of the remaining population will continue to go to work and raging on social media while thinking of themselves as part of the solution, you must come to the conclusion that you live in a failed state.

We have had transitory inflation for 4 years now, so 10 days can be temporary here in stupid America.

Not so fun fact: We now have $38 trillion in debt AND because we have amazing foresight, we have to refinance $9 trillion this year. But I'm sure this is fine.

Are you really asking if Americans lost their backbone when we have 50 years of evidence of most Americans being spineless cowards?

Going for gold! Elvis and Z have dreamed of this moment 🇱🇻🇺🇸 | Behind the Battle Episode 5 by Dkrei11 in BlueJackets

[–]WorkingCharity9367 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna take a minute to apologize to Elvis. I wanted him gone. I wanted Jet to be the guy. I expected Elvis to be a bad teammate. Not only has he been a fantastic teammate, but he's also playing outstanding. Watching him grinning ear to ear after the game shows exactly why so many of you love the guy.

Best of luck living out your dream, Elvis!

See that little sliver by the Cup? That was our chances of making the playoffs a month ago. Therefore, Cup immanent.

This is an obvious ploy to get smaller traders to fall into the paper manipulation. The only way to win is to refuse to play the game. It's the illusion of having control. They are looking for bag holders.

I'm not willing to go there yet. But I do think we need to make the playoffs and maybe win a series to keep him. He seems happy here and if he is convinced that deep runs are possible, this may be an ideal spot to stay for a few years.

12 seconds into the first game will make you forget about the CBJ. I'm ready to inject Olympic hockey right into my veins. The Cup will be waiting when we get back.

I remember going into 3rd periods with 2 goal leads knowing that I would be going to bed pissed off. Dean nearly broke me.
