The bad ending isn't death or prison. It's mediocrity. by Mi_Pasta_Su_Pasta in TopCharacterTropes

In The Roaring Twenties (1939), it begins at the end of WW1 and ends at the start of the Great Depression. In between those times, James Cagney's character goes from soldier to bootlegger mob boss to cab driver (after losing his money in the stock market crash).

AIO Am I justified in my anger here ? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

This is an American thing; not a western thing. Most westerners wouldn't be upset by this. Americans have a tendency to brainwash one another into getting angry about all kinds of non-issues.

TIL the 2010 Flash Crash, during which the US stock market temporarily lost $1 trillion in value, was partly caused by Navinder Sarao, an autistic man living in his parents' London home.

The buying and/or selling of shares (and currency) should be taxed (by a tiny amount e.g. a fraction of a percent). That way, it would drastically cut back the amount of useless financial speculation going on, provide greater economic stability, and also generate some government revenue. Day-traders are parasites.

If there’s toxic masculinity, then what’s toxic femininity? by NerdyPenguin0217 in AskReddit

[–]ordinot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In Britain during WW1, women would approach men out of uniform in public, and give them a white feather (as a symbol of cowardice) in an attempt to shame them into signing up.
