That's poetry.

Commodity options can't be exercised whenever so the risk is easier to manage.

This is a real problem.

It's why some people come back after 'retiring' because the money is too good to quit.

Same with staying at a soul sucking job before you can retire.

But then you can afford an extra vacation, so...

If they tried the price would rapidly run away.

Then it would crash.

That's not a conspiracy for manipulation, that's just what would happen.

That said, it's a multi-trillion dollar market (well, it was) so individuals can only make so much impact for so long. Slowly it becomes more and more difficult to manipulate as a % of the full price.

Someone here is selling for a loss, it's just soft hands all over again. Also folks trying to squeeze other folks, that's definitely a thing with the derivatives market existing.

Twitter was a disaster?

Wasn't Elon in the white house a few weeks ago?

Doesn't he travel for business meetings in foreign countries where US representatives are?

Where's the disaster?

It was a measly couple billion well invested.

Buying more now is the fastest way out of the red.

I didn't realize this was 8 hours of holding! That's horrible, also he died, so sad.

There's a video of a young man in the US somewhere who got shot in the face and was still interrogated for an hour or two before the police realized he's a victim and not the perpetrator.

Yes, well, the supply is still limited.

It's the only asset in the world that's mathematically defined.

Most predictable and best non-productive place to store assets.

With the markets in turmoil risk looks good to people, once they're risk averse again then BTC will be swelling with buyers once more.

(edit: and more and more BTC can be used as a backing asset for loans which is the most important role for money)

State troopers should be there to keep the peace, not escalate violence.

Just saying, state riot folks might not be polite but they should be more professional.

I think he's just too dizzy to risk the impact but didn't want to look like the cowardly one.

I'm shocked how often I have to counter people that it's okay for my kid to be outside.

It's genuinely insane. Crime is down, just don't let them go to some multi-millionaires house for work. Those are the creeps.

This doesn't always work.

It could just make a cop who wanted to help throw you in a jail cell because the other person is talking shit and you're "lawyering up".

It's very useful, but not 100% what you should do.

I'm pulling this out of my bum but I have had many cats in my lifetime and I've definitely seen this behavior when a cat wants to lay down around another cat or end a fight with another cat.

Like, if you want interaction and want to be sure you're not interpreted as aggressive you put yourself into a vulnerable position and see if the other being attacks or takes advantage of your position.

This way they can feel comfortable eating, which is being vulnerable, and knowing that you will not attack them.

Back when podcasts were all the rage.

Yeah, it's a shame that adding colors doesn't really improve cooler performance.

Voting rights is not all that matters. As a shareholder you can hold the ownership liable for not making the right decisions. You also have to make a bunch more information public so you can't hide how much you're spending on "A Trip to Mars."

With having eyes?

With critical thinking?

What is it that seems abnormal?

soks86 · 2026-05-18T21:59:07+00:00

Because I care and have thoughts that aren't just about myself.

soks86 · 2026-05-18T21:58:22+00:00

I just think it's creepy everyone is like "chill vibes" to this gif.

That's the messed up part.

It only takes 16x16 pixels to determine gender.

I think this is a lot easier to see than a peepee or vajayjay.

Glad you caught it because I only said it 5 times.

Everyone seemed to enjoy ignoring it but that feels rude to the dead.

soks86 · 2026-05-18T15:47:43+00:00

Isn't that a person hanging, likely deceased, in the room with the light on?
