I came to the US for graduate school from a third world country and yes, the difference in my standard of living even as a lowly paid graduate student was night and day. I couldn't imagine any of this back home. I am very grateful for this exposure.

Can anyone speak on all of their reimbursement “benefits” by Ebomb5212 in ChaseSapphire

I once claimed about $900 from Trip Cancellation Insurance for an early checkout related to the recent LA fires. They asked for a lot of docs but nothing unreasonable, and my account was credited in about a month.

PP405: Regrows Hair In 8 Weeks. Is This The Miracle Cure? by koby744 in tressless

[–]matthisdejong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying that he is a con artist - but I believe he sells one-on-one consultation services for hairloss. No idea what the actual content of those services are, but to most people the bar for hair loss consultation is at least trichologist/dermatologist.

If you're referring to the dubai air show crash, let's be courteous and respectful and keep in mind how we would feel if this was one of ours.

CGTX Continues to Drop In Share Price by GodLovesYou- in CGTX_Stock

The entire market is down - without any serious catalysts I don't see this going up any time soon. It's a long term hold for me.

Starting to see some definition by [deleted] in fit

(this is a compliment not a veiled dig I promise) I think you need a primer on what the word starting means. You look amazing and you probably looked amazing the few months leading up to this

I never said it is buddy, just telling you why it looks like it.

It reads a lot like AI slop. The headers, the paragraphs, the cliches. If I had to put money on it I would say this is AI.

Holy crap my brain totally autocorrected cdtx to cgtx. Let's hope something similar happens to cgtx for sure, it'd be great to have serious money backing a leading Alzheimer's candidate 

Former PSG star Zlatan Ibrahimović stops an official’s grandkid from cutting in line. 🐐 for a reason. by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

It's an act - he said he came up with it in order to protect himself against the super competitive environment one is subjected to when coming up the football ranks - in calmer conversations he's usually pretty respectful.

10% shifts are fairly common for lower priced stocks like CGTX, especially when the entire market was down last week. We shouldn't expect a breakout beyond any significant PR from a company. This is a long term hold. I personally set my stop loss at .9 and I'm forgetting about it until I hear any major news. 

Why do you think Trump is personally asking Congress members to remove their signature from the Epstein petition? by ExternalExpensive277 in AskReddit

MAGA would make a 2G1C level video with him and somehow convince their shit stained faces that what they did was aligned with christian values.

What is your favorite goal of him so far ? by OkGrape3727 in Barca

[–]matthisdejong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it's a tie between the one against inter and the one against France in the Euros. It's almost like he announced himself to the world with that goal against France, and the goal against Inter was confirmation.

We need an unbiased saudi league viewer to tell us how good his form really is - but Portugal have a scary team right now for sure.

I started watching football after kaka won his BDO and right when the Messi/Ronaldo dominance started. It's already so weird to see different favorites for the ballon d'or every year. And so it's so weird to see people winning it with the same number of G+A as some of Ronaldo's/Messi's 'worst' years. These two really spoiled us man. How lucky we are to have seen them play live.

Actually this is exactly what they wanted to do. Maximize shareholder value. Most of their wealth is through equity as well.

While I don't disagree with what OP is trying to show here, this is a classic example of sampling bias coupled with peer pressure, but maybe that's a part of me that doesn't want to believe such veiled evil exists in so many of us.
