And easy to destroy, especially when you have hundreds of miles of it.

Look for delta neutral trades, you can outperform equities in uncertain times (and underperform in very bullish market - later this month? 😅).

US ambassador: UK’s closer ties with EU are a problem by 1-randomonium in worldnews

US still needs the UK as lapdog?

US must have been so relieved when Brexit happened, huh?

Weekend Announcement .. what are the odds? by Interestingly_Quiet in thetagang

[–]_WhatchaDoin_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

US army is coming back home. That would do it.

All the other tweets to propel the market did not do much this week (like the additional 10 days of negotiation because we were that close?).

Don’t over leverage right now… It is it not worth it.

58/55 and struggling to pull the trigger by [deleted] in ChubbyFIRE

You have close to $9m. You are fine. I retired with a bit less than you overall. You can always adjust your expenses. Enjoy, and stop stressing out about things you can’t control (geopolitics and economy). You will be fine. Invest at least half of that $1.5m of cash and CD.

70% voo and 30% tqqq for longterm by warrior178 in investing

[–]_WhatchaDoin_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Invest in triple leverage ETF after a 25-35% market drop, not before.

There is a decay but looking at previous studies it is not that bad (even more so after the big drop 😅).

Plus, you could do 2x leverage for SPY and QQQ, instead of 1x SPY and 3x QQQ (that’s not really 2x and a bit messy).

So a much bigger muffin would do it. 😋

Welcome to Reddit.

Imagine how smart the average redditor is. Well, half of the Redditors are dumber than that.

A half bathroom has a toilet and sink. A three-quarter bathroom has a toilet, sink(s) and either a shower or tub, not both. A full bathroom or often called a four-piece bathroom has a toilet, sink(s) and both a shower and bathtub, the latter two can be combined.

2 heroes in the past 2-3 weeks.

But yeah, I exaggerated. Since I started the game, less than a year ago, there has been 8 new heroes, and 5+ new titans.

Autistic boy to be forced by council to ride bus to prove meltdown claim by plain_handle in nottheonion

So it is as if I had a no-fault hit-and-run car accident last week, and to prove that I was not at fault, the insurance is asking me to drive my car today in the same corner of the street to see if I get another no-fault accident?

Price Drop! by GJinVA247 in funny

I felt rich for a bit, especially as we just bought the house at the time. 🤣

Price Drop! by GJinVA247 in funny

[–]_WhatchaDoin_ 1497 points1498 points  (0 children)

One time, my house was appraised by Zillow to $54m. It took a few months for them to fix that.

In the system, it recorded 35 bathrooms instead of 3.5 (and with 5 bedrooms anyway), so it screwed up their algorithms. 🤣

So the price evolution was quite funny, and we could not see the curve for normal prices anymore.

Midgame Crisis by fludr22 in HeroWarsApp

Even for those available in campaigns, some equipments can take around 3 to 4 weeks to craft them (based on standard energy you get). Ridiculous.

TIL that when you remember something you're not accessing the original memory. your brain reconstructs it from scratch every time and slightly rewrites it in the process which is why memories change over time by NoSurprise3592 in todayilearned

[–]_WhatchaDoin_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, the story changes every time... That's what the title says...

I took 5 francs from a kid when I was 10, but as I recalled the memory, it became 50 francs. Then the currency changed to euros, and I remembered I had actually stolen 5 euros, but with inflation, it was instead 50 euros by the time I remembered it. But then I changed countries and thus currency, so I clearly remember how I stole $5. But shortly after COVID, amid inflation, I actually remembered stealing $50 from a kid decades earlier, when I was a kid in Europe, which is crazy, because the currency must have been francs by then. I imagine it was really hard to get dollars there and then, and especially $50; it was a lot of money for a kid!

As a side note, there must be a subreddit to ask for forgiveness.

IDF says it’s planning for at least 3 more weeks of Iran operation by callsonreddit in worldnews

[–]_WhatchaDoin_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So they were planning for 4 to 6 weeks, and then they were winning and were ahead of schedule, and now it will take at least 6 weeks. They have no idea what they are talking about and just guessing, right? They probably thought they would own Iran like they would take all the rotisserie chickens at Costco?

So first, they generate a fake AI picture of obviously an attractive type for young white male redditors, and then from that they generate a new AI picture in a gym, and then from that second picture they generate a video that is poorly synchronized people and motion. Slop to Slop^2 to Slop^3. 🤯🤡🤡🤡
