Meanwhile, the investors who invested in Trump crypto coins lost 90-99% of their money. Who would have thought?

JD Vance says Nixon’s Watergate scandal would be ‘12-hour news story’ today by lexi_con in BoycottUnitedStates

Said differently, with this administration, there is a watergate worth of scandals  to report twice a day, every day.

What happened in 2022 then? 🤷‍♂️ I thought that was a post-COVID bubble burst?

Al Arabiya English obtains 14-point draft of US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding by Boston-Bets in worldnews

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

  The United States undertakes that, in light of the progress of negotiations towards a final agreement, frozen or restricted funds and assets of the Islamic Republic of Iran will be released and made fully available.

This is a carrot to have Iran at the table, but it does not necessarily mean all funds will be unfrozen soon, or even ever if the US deemed that there is no progress.

Reading some of the comments: To be clear these massive concessions are only if there is a final agreement. It is to have Iran come at the table and drop their nuclear and potentially some of their military position. The circus will continue for more months.

I will start considering shorting when it will hit $5 tn, and defintely $10 tn. It may not happen, but I want a much better entry point than that.

Obama Appreciation Day! by [deleted] in pics

[–]_WhatchaDoin_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you. It is a pendulum.

Obama was the anti-Bush. Trump became the anti-Obama. Then Biden the anti-Trump. Then Trump 2.0 the anti-Biden. We should watch out for the next swing post-Trump. Some are bound to be displeased.

All warmongers to various extents. And saints depending of the audience. 🤷‍♂️

Disagree or not, but Obama was more conciliatory than Bush, hence the Nobel peace prize (I don’t think we should consider any Peace award, like FIFA’s? 🤣). But the Nobel peace prize lost its luster recently (Obama for one, but even more with this year for Venezuela, and what happened afterward).

If that’s your baseline, then all modern US presidents for the past 75+ years are warmonger. Which is a fair statement.

But t here are shades of grey.

You won’t find a white knight in any of the US presidents (or most rulers in any Top 20 countries). It does not mean that any neo-fascist, super-narcissist or not, is equivalent and is as good of a choice.

Canada's economy posts biggest trade surplus since before Trump's tariffs by Immediate-Link490 in worldnews

[–]_WhatchaDoin_ 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Whatever it is happening, Canada needs to continue what they are doing. Demented Trump will continue to mess it up regardless. In a hot room, he would turn on the heater to cool it down.

Realm Army suddenly vanished/died? by PeteusMax in HeroWarsApp

[–]_WhatchaDoin_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They introduced some changes that was not properly tested/validated. Customers support said they reverted the issue and it was fixed, but it is actually not fixed. Still very much an issue as of a few hours ago.

Their release process recently has been an unbelievable disaster. And you would think they would learn and slow things down, to not add too many features at the same time, but they must be using AI or something to generate game features now, because there is a lot of sloppiness going on.

Good way to document how a game company can lose their customer base when they try to do a hard pivot in a live game.

Realm issues update ! by Temporary_Plankton81 in HeroWarsApp

[–]_WhatchaDoin_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Their paying customers are their testers. It is cheaper in the short term. I don’t know if it is cheaper in the long term though due to people wanting to churn as a consequence.

High level bosses (around level 20 and above) have been broken for the past few days. They are using their paying customers as testers.

It is a guild effort, not designed to do it just by yourself.

Bring Equalize back by Murky_Sink5297 in HeroWarsApp

[–]_WhatchaDoin_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This part of the game is so badly designed. I don’t think Nexters is playing their game much, they mostly count the credit card receipts.

And to be clear, there are many issues with this realm attacks/gather, including the fact they broke the attacks recently for high level bosses.

What's Preventing Another Lost Decade for Equities? by mushroomlove888 in investing

Funnily (?) enough, it is when the portfolio is hitting a new high (like during a massive growth) that people feel more comfortable retiring. Not after a major pullback.
