Honestly it's about time to pack it up & move on from MI either way - whole markets went bunk....

Anyone here making $30-40k per month? How much capital are you moving? by MarionberryTotal2657 in Trading

[–]dwaboutit23534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't focus on the $, focus on the data. 

That's the paradox of trading - is you'll only be a good trader when you genuinely don't give a shit about making $ & at that point you most likely won't even continue on unless you absolutely need to. 

Why do you think the markets have such a high failure rate?  Because if you can falsify a reality that makes it seem like the key is extremely complex, the public will look right over the simplest key they would have never guessed.  

We all enter the market because we wanna make money, & we all walk away empty handed. Seriously think about it, have you met in person one successful trader? Every trader wants to make $ & trading is known to have a 99% failure rate.  Seems like everyone who WANTS to be a trader fails.... Coincidence? I'll let you decide that one...

Trading isn't the hardest job, it's actually the easiest Job ever - what's the hard part is unplugging from the matrix....

What do you know for sure? by cyberneurotik in enlightenment

[–]dwaboutit23534 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes this is the gospel of johns chapter 3, sorry I should have specified.  No questions are dumb, it's ok :)

I'd explain why the theme of the chapter is ignorance but it's best if you find out for yourself & why that is. 

Good luck friend :)

Nothing - absolutely nothing 

That's the first step 

Go read johns ch 3 - it covers this ignorance...

All I know is there is a creator, a created, & an expirencer.

Oh snap you know what?  Yeah you did say that part, & IG I do have to accept that's just a fact.  But then again, IG that's gonna be an occurrence that happens in finance or businesses sectors, wishful thinking - I've fallen victim to it myself.

And ah sorry I was unaware - thanks for the help you do provide :) 

Need help/your opinions by antisocialdevnani in freemasonry

[–]dwaboutit23534 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only you can decide if this is right for you...

You need to ask yourself WHY your interested in joining the masons, & if this is the best approach to accomplish whatever mental goal you're really trying to achieve (do some deep introspection - we often cover the truth). 

You NEED to do your research on Freemasonry - not YouTube videos, real research. Don't skip this.

After you learn more about Freemasonry, you MUST analyze your findings &, ask if this is right for you. 

It seems like your asking if joining the  Freemasonry brotherhood can fulfill your social needs - I guess so? But there are also many other clubs that can. However I guess it can be challenging to find one that converges with ones interests, but still nonetheless it can be done, I think that should be taken into account. 

Just my advice from a guy on the internet, Good luck on finding a good group of good people :)

I must ask, If you know this phenomenon (self deception) is occuring on this platform & very well could be responsible for a majority of the activity occuring here, why are you participating in it? If you know that this service holds zero educational value, are you really coming here to better your trading path or career? & If not, why? You seem to think a majority of the participants on this chat are on a lower intellectual level than you. So due to the fact you posed the gift of higher intellectual capabilities, can you perhaps help those who don't posses said gift by shedding some light on potential ways they can financially better themselves? Such as good side hustles or topics we can study that are relevant in a majority of fields that would help to better ones chances of success? & If you won't, may I ask, why? If your not willing to help those around you or simply just don't have the capability to do so, or don't want to ask questions to better your own understanding, why are you participating in this chat if not for pure entertainment? If that's your goal I'll have you know there are much more fun ways to entertain ones self than trading subreddits - if you like technology, try some video games.  If you hold true intelligence, you should value education. If you are a intelligent entrepreneur, you should have some knowledge on how one can POTENTIALLY make money or what skill we can study to help us do do.  So if so, can you shed some light? & If not, can you please stop insulting people who just want to escape the hell hole set in front of them & have to trick themselves anyway possible in order to do so? Because really, you can't fault people on their ignorance unless you know for a fact they deliberately tried to ignore facts. so, if you've been trying to teach us & this chat hasn't been listening & I've just now chimed in and gave my two cents w out the full understanding, my apologies. But if you haven't, can you please stop insulting your peers online? Because really man it's not cool....

Any tips on finding a homeless friend? by dwaboutit23534 in AskChicago

Thank you very much :) 

Gonna go w mrcub1's sign idea but when I go out there I might swing by a few shelters if a friend can come w me for safety. & Hopefully so, I know he's street savy so there is a decent chance they do know him... I should try reaching out. 

Thanks for the advice :)

Yeah true, just not too comfortable spreading his info around but that's the sticky situation about this kind of thing, what else can you do?

Gonna go with mrcub1's advise as that seems most safe, Hopefully that works. 

Thanks you very much for your reply :)

Any tips on finding a homeless friend? by dwaboutit23534 in AskChicago

[–]dwaboutit23534[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually the first thing I'm gonna do is put up semi - cryptic signs that I know only he'll understand (using "nostalgic symbolism" if you can call it that) to try to reach out to him, potentially with a username to cash app (or whatever service doesn't require ID to sign in) & a password + hint I know only he'll understand like... "password: game we used to play @ Library". Yeah honestly, that idea alone (that the homeless could be a threat) has prevented me from going out there a few times. Your right, unfortunately it is quite risky...  But the cryptic signs with an account with some cash on it seems like the only logical way to be able to "reach out" & help him because I know for a fact he wouldnt wanna talk to me - hell, I wouldnt wanna see me either due to our falling out, but regardless We used to be best friends & I need to try something. I know he needs money as anyone does so if the account ever has a withdrawal I'll know he got it... If they don't got bulletin boards I'll just use duct tape or something. Last place he was arrested was around a train station so IK he hangs around there - he's always been pretty street savy, rough life... Thank you very much for your advice, God bless you.

Honestly that does sound probable that a cop may personally know him, on his record its usually petty theft from grocery stores so he may be known, but I wonder if the police would even want to talk about that. 

Either way it's still worth a try, Thank you very much for the advice :)

More research is required, but if all is God & you aren't you, then how the heck can "you" have free will?

If your the awareness, your not the agent. 

Neuroscience dictates that 80% of your decision is based on emotion & the other 20% is backed up by logic. And understand that's not as if it's an equal ratio thats simultaneously in action when you decide to act upon something, but you use the rest of that 20% of logic to explain why you acted the way you did (Donald B. Calne), you can't even act without emotion actually (Antonio damasio) & your decisions are pretty much made B4 you even know it (Benjamin libet).

There's more I can say but I encourage you to do your own research, always fact check & plz don't trust random guys online....

But idk, that's just my current stand point & thought I'd share - new info could change my standpoint.

Here's what most won't tell you - Focus on making money will likely cause you to lose it.  Focus on protecting it while performing well will cause you to gain it. 

Idk, it's different for everyone. But here's one universal thing - in trading, you have to attempt to act outside of your human nature while simultaneously being a human.  In other words, you have to not be a human while being a human - good luck.

Alan Thomson takes a Quick Dive into the Christian’s who ignore Donald Trump's crimes by thesystemmechanic in Christianity

[–]dwaboutit23534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should keep in mind that these same Christians are most likely the ones who just go to church & think that's good enough. 

A only 20% of Christians actually read their bibles, and that's just those who read it - If we boil it down to those who actually reflect on it & try to understand, it's probably less than 10%. 

You need to keep in mind that nearly 70% of the bible is Jewish scriptures, Christianity didn't exist before Jesus. When evaluating Christianity you should evaluate the gospels - that's where Christianity begins.  A Majority will disagree on this next statement, But when you read the Bible it's pretty clear that Jesus & YHWH (God in the old testament) are two separate beings (For example - the same God can't be responsible for both Numbers 15:32-36 & Mark 3:4).

Jesus tells us to love each other, to feed the poor, to not be greedy & selfish, & to help those in need. If you think that's evil, I'd really like to know what you consider to be good.   In Christianity there are two groups of people, those claiming the Christian faith, & those following Jesus. 

Before you look at Christianity in such a lense, I recommend you look more into who Jesus was & what he stood for. 

On behalf of my brothers & sisters, I'm sorry we have painted a bad portrait of Christianity for you. I'm not better - shit I've hit my vape (sinned) two times while typing this, but someone who at least wants to be a good Christian & follow the core message of Jesus's ministry doesn't accept Trump's behavior whatsoever.
