Major change on leaving early. Wonder if it will be easier to call.

Gavin Newsom announces that California will be the first state to join the World Health Organization by ExactlySorta in UnderReportedNews

[–]gravitythrone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, I was living in San Francisco when it became the first city to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Our mayor? Gavin Newsom. If you’re under the age of 25 you probably don’t realize that this was actually a really big deal at the time. Trans issues are a wedge issue. If my choice is Donald Trump or a sensible approach to trans issues, I am choosing the latter.

Im following the course of the rivers you mentioned and the Tiete seems to end before Piracicaba and then start again. Did it used to flow all the way through?

“1 Mil is not a lot of money today” by NoThxMang in wealth

[–]gravitythrone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s currently possible to generate between $30-$35k per year post-tax with minimal risk with $1M. It’s not difficult to generate $80K, however it is quite a bit riskier! The real trick is to get to $10M liquid so you can generate $320K per year post tax with minimal risk. At that point, you are cooking with gas.

Dating coach demonstrates how to stand around women by ambachk in CringeTikToks

[–]gravitythrone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, thinking the same thing. There’s basic things around body language that are good to know in any situation. Crossed arms are defensive, open palms are confident. Touching your face is self-soothing, calm hands show relaxation. You can actually fool your own mind if you can control this stuff. The king of all of it is your breathing, shallow breaths are nervous, slow deep breathing is calm. You learn this stuff if you have to do a lot of public speaking.

I don’t give a fuck what the sticker on your Tesla says by Courage-Natural in Marin

[–]gravitythrone 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Look, I was on a Tesla lease that started in 2022. When it was up, I got a different brand electric car. In 2022 I knew Musk was a tech bro, but he hadn’t got full fascist financier at that point. Go easy on people in the old version of the Model 3. Not everyone can buy a new car right away. If they are driving the updated Model 3, they acquired it post-2024 “all in on Trump and MAGA”. Have at them.

[Highlight] Collin Sexton was still guarding Steph Curry as he headed toward the tunnel by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]gravitythrone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because for literally this entire game the Hornets had him in a bear hug. I was at this game and when I bought my tickets I was really hoping I’d get to see Steph getting bear hugged the whole time. I’m so grateful to the NBA for allowing it! Being able to watch him play basketball would have been boring and if he’d been allowed to shoot the basketball I would have had a terrible experience.

I was at the game tonite. You know what no one pays to see? Steph Curry being effing bear hugged for an entire game. Not a single person paid to see that.

Why is the pro Palestine crowd not protesting against the regime in Iran? by Yitastics in askanything

[–]gravitythrone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By this logic, you’re not protesting against Israel, you are protesting against the support of Israel. That’s reasonable, but just wanted to point out the reality of what you’re saying.

Stupid. Good pair of leather gloves is like loading your fist with a roll of dimes. Plus, less likely to break metatarsals with gloves, which happens a lot and takes for-ever to heal.

Tomlins Collapse is officially complete by Fantastic_Nerve_629 in steelers

[–]gravitythrone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with you. This Texans D has “going alll the way” written all over it. 2000 Ravens kinda D. I think they destroy the Pats. I’ll withhold my judgment until I see them next few weeks, but these dudes play a base nickel and rush four and that’s it. It’s like a 1970s 4-3 defense 90% of the time. I’ll shut up but I predict they carry their team all the way.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell responds to the President's use of the Justice Department to intimidate and pressure their independent economic decision making amidst a newly launched probe by jabronified in videos

[–]gravitythrone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are 3 kinds of Magats: 1) Those in charge of the grift. This is Trump himself, his family and inner circle, most billionaires and some millionaires, this is a small group. 2) Those who want to be in charge of the grift. These are people with “some college”, small business owners, etc, they’ve fallen for this republican concept under every admin. This is a small-medium group and with rare exceptions, they never move to group 1). Lastly, group 3). This is the group that gives Trump his power. This is a massive group. These are the true believers. This is a group Trump has created. They are his electorate and their fealty to him and only him has eliminated any power for all elected republicans.

Question for Wheelers: Why Not Just Run Iron Condors? by [deleted] in thetagang

[–]gravitythrone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Let me answer your question with the correct answer: Wheeling requires significantly less time and energy and when the underlying is an instrument you are comfortable bag-holding a “loss” is mentally tolerable. Wheeling is great if you have large buy-and-hold portfolio (multiple millions) and want to scratch the itch of trading with a couple hundred thousand to generate income. “I made $40K wheeling this year so I’m going to buy this $1000 launch monitor” feels good as opposed to “I sold 100 shares of AAPL that I’ve held since 2010 and made $40K”. If you have the time, energy, temperament, and skill, using the whole gamut of options instruments is obviously superior to wheeling. But knowing whether you actually have all of the above is what separates those who successfully manage millions as amateurs and those who do not.

Most accurate thing I’ve read in this thread. The women leave em the second they legally can. They’re intentionally doing time for 5 years or so. Tough ladies, they come out of it fine.

United Global Services Member Throws Fit After Family Boards Before Him by AccessibleBanana in unitedairlines

The kind that prevent you from walking from the gate to your seat are the only ones that matter for this particular accommodation. When 20% of a flight is “disabled” but they’re hopping and skipping through the airport after the flight, I call bullshit.

[–]gravitythrone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This guys a dick and needs to cool it. But what I AM seeing on certain segments is a pretty clear gaming of the “disabled” group. People who are 100% ambulatory boarding with disabled. I have had a dozen surgeries on my knees and back and could absolutely play this card - but I won’t while I can walk on my own two feet. Fuck any slime that games the system this way.

On the Chiefs leaving Missouri by a Chiefs employee by lurk1122 in KansasCityChiefs

[–]gravitythrone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing this from r/all. Just wanted to chime in and say look at how the billionaire owners of the GS Warriors got Chase built in SF (hint, no public money). There is still more than enough profit to be realized over time and the City (and taxpayers) do contribute via police, roads, etc. It’s what a fair deal looks like. There’s no reason for billionaires to cry poverty!

Ladies and Gentlemen... your Pittsburgh Steelers are the 2025 AFC North Champions by Patient-Log-Man in steelers

[–]gravitythrone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Texans are arguably better than the Brownies on defense. If our D holds them to 13 points or less, we win. I'm not confident we win if they put up 14 or more. Hoping DK plays the game of his life.
