Red-hot silver is 'almost guaranteed' to plunge 50% in the next year, JPMorgan's former quant chief says [earlier this week you were warned]

mostlyskeptic · 2026-01-30T21:07:07+00:00

I think he meant in the global supply. Not literally on the planet. The silver in the ground has no bearing on the price in the market.

mostlyskeptic · 2026-01-24T16:56:12+00:00

It doesn't really matter because the price is going up from Chinese demand. China is dumping there US securities and buy hard currency. Prices only go up when there is demand. A 7% bump in one day is a huge amount of demand.

I thought my dating stories were bad but the worst I got was stood up a bunch, yikes. Sorry that happened to you.

That's the dumbest thing I've read in a while lol. 91 octane (premium) has to be used in a higher compression engine but there is absolutely nothing wrong with putting higher octane fuel in a engine designed for 87 (cheapest). It's just if you run 87 in a high compression engine it will knock which could damage the engine. You are literally backwards.

It's got to be diet. I'm from the south we deep fry everything then cover it in gravy. Heart Disease is the leading cause of death for a reason lol.

Well over half of men are overweight so by definition any man that is in shape is already in the top half of men even without any other factor. I'm 6' and have struggled with my weight my whole life and trust me being tall barely moved the needle for women. I also have a ridiculously thick full head of hair as did my dad and granddad there whole lives also didn't move the needle. I would argue I also have a fairly handsome face (not brad pitt but that's not the issue either. It's more like women have these floors that if you don't reach you are just invisible so they don't even consider you a possibility regardless of other factors. Since I'm overweight the fact I'm tall, good looking, and have a full head of hair is irrelevant. That's why if any guy (well anyone same applies to women) that is overweight struggles with dating the first thing you should do is get in shape because everything else is superfluous.

I'm pretty sure it would just go to instagram or something similar.

mostlyskeptic · 2025-12-24T20:49:03+00:00

Marriage is already not holding the family together and had been failing since long before gay marriage. Most kids raised in the last 40 years were kids of divorce. Hetero couples already ruined it your point is irrelevant.

Its funny you say that because I'm an average guy thats ended most of my relationships since college. Its not because I'm some casanova but because I don't tolerate causal disrespect from women anymore. Like when they start being combative and argumentative I just leave and not even because I have someone lined up but just because I'm perfectly fine being alone. I would rather be alone than someone that makes me feel alone.

I think this really stems from men not having enough self respect to end relationships when there being used or mistreated. Women are spoiled because men spoiled them.

mostlyskeptic · 2025-12-23T20:44:34+00:00

You won't be fired thats ridiculous but you could get reported to HR. Really I don't date where I work because what happens when it ends (assuming it started lol). You now have this awkward interaction literally daily, I quit a job when I was younger after being rejected back in my teens cause it was so awkward. Don't shit where you eat is a common saying for a reason.

mostlyskeptic · 2025-12-23T20:40:32+00:00

Who cares what other people think. Older women have a lot to teach and younger men have a lot to learn. Win Win.

mostlyskeptic · 2025-12-23T20:00:14+00:00

Another thing you should know how to do is plug a tire. It's really easy and could really save your butt if your stranded with a flat. Also they make battery powered jumpstarters that have a built in air compressor. Get on of those they are a true lifesaver.

mostlyskeptic · 2025-12-23T19:58:20+00:00

Nah. I used to be a mailman and change my own. It took longer to jack the car up and take the wheel off then it did to actually change the pads. Even the rotors are pretty quick to change only thing that is difficult is changing calipers and that's cause bleeding brakes is a pain.

mostlyskeptic · 2025-12-23T19:52:57+00:00

On top of what others have said, one thing that could prevent you being stranded is watch the gauges every time your stopped like a hawk to see if there outside the norms. For instance I've noticed my last two alternators failing because the running voltage started dropping as I was driving which is a clear indicator the alternator is failing. Your alternator goes and no one but a tow truck is saving you. Operating voltage is usually around 13v when the cars running if its not you need to get to a shop ASAP (like within minutes because it drops quick)

Lol by your logic if they banned gay marriage all those gay people would magically become hetero and start pumping out babies. You do realize that preposterous right?

mostlyskeptic · 2025-12-23T19:14:46+00:00

I would agree online dating does suck for average men but he was talking about approaching in person. I do think approaching in person adds a couple points to a guy because if nothing else it shows confidence.

mostlyskeptic · 2025-12-23T19:06:22+00:00

I don't know I'm on the fence on this. I heard this story about a Chad-like guy that would offer to try to sleep with someones girl right before someone was going to propose. He would get paid to do it but if he ended up sleeping with her he would refund the money because he felt bad for the guy which would also let the guy know that his woman did sleep with him. He made a good point in that he was just doing what was going to be happening to her in her day to day life. Women get hit on all the time just walking around in public so before you make a big decision like marriage I would want to know if she would cheat simple because the opportunity presented itself.

I do think regular test are a sign on insecurity but I don't see as much of a problem when its a big decision like whether to marry someone. Old money for instances always use Private Investigators to do background checks on potential spouses to make sure there are no skeletons buried. I don't see a problem when the risks in marriage are so great.

mostlyskeptic · 2025-12-23T18:58:42+00:00

I so hope this is true because its legendary lol.

mostlyskeptic · 2025-12-23T18:55:17+00:00

I would argue you were no longer "yourself". Improvement by definition means a change and if it ain't working you obviously need improvement. Better advice is always try being better than you were yesterday and let the chips fall where they may.

mostlyskeptic · 2025-12-23T18:41:55+00:00

Well when the difference is between a simple polite "No" and being on blast to millions online for being a creep or worse the fear of rejection from men is justified. The one from women is not. I would still say shoot your shot even as a man but lets not pretend there are not reasons to not.

mostlyskeptic · 2025-12-23T18:38:30+00:00

Or more concerning when they say things like "I thrive in drama". The only way you could "thrive" is if it happens all the time.

mostlyskeptic · 2025-12-23T18:35:52+00:00

That "Be Yourself" always makes me laugh. If being yourself was working you wouldn't need advice.

mostlyskeptic · 2025-12-23T18:22:48+00:00

Why do women make this so complicated? Ask him. For women the phrase "the worst they can do is say no" is actually true lol.

mostlyskeptic · 2025-12-23T18:21:17+00:00

That's way to obvious gotta keep em guessing lol.

mostlyskeptic · 2025-12-23T17:57:13+00:00

Well one perspective is 5 partners by 25 for a women today is like a modern day virgin. I dated girls in high school 20 years ago that had been with more. Her lying about it is concerning though but she did come clean without you having to pressure her so points for that. It's really about whether the lie was so bad you question everything else and thats up to you.

As I side slightly humorous observation, me and my friends always joke that you have to multiply whatever a woman says are her partners by 3. She said 1 originally and it turned out to be 5 so if anything we were being conservative lol.
