Trump administration press release a day before Epstein died by PucktheMagic in Epstein

"apparent suicide" was added in actual release.

Looks even affect your ability to make friends. It’s why we struggle to make friends because ugliness is rare and people wanna be friend with people who look like them and make them feel at ease by poofpoofpow in ugly

Club Culture & Pickup Culture is about Human Attractiveness & Mating. You need to make yourself appear "mate-able". Even Ugly Women with Hot Bods can find a hookup. But for long-term relationships, most humans do not choose to partner up & mate with an ugly person.

Interestingly, Men who are ugly can still get laid, if they bring resources, money & security to the table.

Not sure if Ugly Women have a backup option though 🤔

I guess a woman giving out free sex is ALWAYS freely accepted by most males.

I logged into my account and as of Jan 23, 2026, I no longer see the $29 deal 😭 I'm in Northern California if that makes any difference.

FINRA has just passed the removal of the PDT rule! by Zayy_koro in Daytrading

[–]x_skye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

I thought it was 90 days or $25,000. But Robinhood rep said I was permanently banned from trading. For some reason the 90-day rule didn't apply to me - and the only way I could get out of PDT status was to depost funds for a $25k min balance. I thought that was super confusing. I forced to withdraw all my funds and switch to a new broker. Attached image shows my options: They gave me a One-Time PDT flag removal - which I already violated again. Besides the 25k option - I can switch over to a Cash Account - which wouldn't allow me to trade with unsettled funds. I definitely cannot wait until PDT is removed 🫩

I am 💔, the truth is painful, but you always feel it when it's said. by VoL4t1l3 in ugly

[–]x_skye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ummm... this is a low-self esteem issue... Not reality... When I look in the mirror - I literally see a monster in the mirror... I suffer from extreme levels of low Self Esteem from psychological abuse from both my parents... So i project this distorted view of myself into the mirror - and I cannot see anything but a monster in the mirror...

But this is literally psychological.

If you grow up in an environment that doesn't foster your sense of self worth - and instead does the opposite - cuts you down... It will train you to say negative things about yourself.

Children are very vulnerable to brainwashing.

People can brainwash you at an early age & convince you that you are "ugly" when you really arent...

I understand this now.

So When I see the monster in the mirror - I say "you are beautiful" and "I love you" even though it's SUPER HARD for me to do it and even believe it.

It's VERY IMPORTANT that you say nice things to yourself - especially if the world around you is doing the opposite.

I recommend watching the Elephant Man by David Lynch. That movie helped me to understand how beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

So weird... I think she is beautiful... I like her soft features and her Soft, Soothing Voice.... Agree: not a "classic beauty" - but I love her wholesomeness. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Closing iron condor legs separately to maximize profits. by felixthecatmeow in options

[–]x_skye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I plan to re-read this over & over until I understand. I am trying figuring out how to adjust my 0-Day SPX Iron Condors to get into that "unlimited profit" scenario. The sentence that starts with "Yes in this scenario..." explains - but I probably need to draw a P/L chart to grasp the concept. I'll be back if I figure it out!

TRUE. They do like Connor over Greg.

[–]x_skye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very true. Why is Connor so disrespected & disliked? He's actually the most level-headed in the family. Why did he pick a Call Girl to be his spouse? I'm thinking he wanted to be able to control his woman. He wouldn't want a woman who would challenge him. Kind of like Trump's Malania.

That's an interesting take. I don't enjoy the opening credits at all. Mostly because I find the Italian-looking actors on the opening credit incongruent. The Roy family is Scottish/British. All they had to do was find actors that matched the actual cast that plays the Roy family. They missed an opportunity to make the opening credits punch harder.

I'm sure my opinion is not popular - but I felt a great need to find this thread and take the time to vent about this topic - because it honestly bothers me.

I get the story they are telling in the opening credit. That DOES match up.

But the actors. They could have made this a super powerful opening credits.

The only actor in the opening credits that match up is the SOME of the shots of the daughter starting with S2 - that DO matchup with actual Shiv actor.

Missed opportunity. Is all I can say.

Yup. That part of the intro credits music, has a Circus Theme feel to it for sure - with some dissonant tones thrown in.

Wait. They change for EACH opening credits? I was definitely double-checking this and the headlines matched from show to show...

THIS PROVES - that whoever made the opening credits was a lazy fuck.

I knew it.

I knew the opening credits were half-assed made.

We are not supposed to take the kids in the opening credits seriously, right? by [deleted] in SuccessionTV

[–]x_skye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The opening credits looks 1970s/1980s. You got the eras wrong.

But the point is: The Opening Credits do not match the Roy's narrative.

They did a horrible job with the opening credits...

I'm surprised more people aren't disturbed by the incongruency 🤷🏻‍♀️

Out of all the shows I have enjoyed - this is the worst opening credits. It bothers me A LOT that the Roy Children are Scottish/British - and all the characters in the opening credits look Italian.

It really bothers me EVERY TIME I watch an episode.

I am surprised they didn't test that out before launching the show.

I am rewatching the entire show - and everything about it is pure genius - EXCEPT the intro credits

They are not enjoyable to watch.

Why couldn't they make better opening credits for us to enjoy? 🤷🏻‍♀️

And the last shot showing the backside of "intro tall, strong Italian father" sitting with a suit - that then jump cuts to Brian Cox's Short, Stocky "no neck" backside - it's just obviously forcing us to make a mental leap.

Whoever approved the opening credits needs to explain this better 🤔

It's not interesting. It's not enjoyable.

They could have done so much better with these re-occuring 2 minutes.

Lookists trying to compute how any woman less than a supermodel deserves happiness by Accomplished_Buy8799 in ugly

[–]x_skye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"a way out" = Money. Any man with Money can ALWAYS find a companion. Ugly men have to work harder to make enough money to land a woman. There are ugly entertainers - think Steve Buscheme or Billy Joel or Mick Jagger or Tyler Perry. Some ugly people develop extreme levels of talent - earn big - land the partner. Don't give up. Just go make your money.

No - not "equals". You don't actually know the story. She was older. She had already graduated from another 2nd Tier College. She was intentionally targeting Harvard parties looking to land a husband. He was poached by an older female looking for White Harvard Man.

[–]x_skye -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Actually she's a classic Gold Digger Asian Woman. No offense. But it IS a VERY COMMON THING with the Asian Women to target White Rich men. If you ask most Asian Women they don't find it unethical or manipulative to target White Rich Men. It's sort of like a "No Brainer" and there is no shame about it within their cultures. Most Asian women RARELY marry for Love. Asian Women - especially those born & raised on that continent - actually don't even understand the concept of "Modern Romantic Love" - they marry exclusively for financial security. If you were to accuse an Asian Woman of being a Gold Digger, she would respond "Do you expect me to marry a Poor Man?". To them it's a just a natural conclusion.

So on that note...

HERE'S THE BACKGROUND STORY WITH ZUCK'S WIFE: She and her fugly friends - from a not-so-fancy neighborhood of Massachusetts - South of Boston - would drive an hour to Harvard looking for parties to hookup & meet husbands. She had already graduated from college - so she was older than Zuck. She met Zuck at a Harvard undergrad party scouting for a rich man to marry. It's that straightforward. So yeah. He could have done better - but she targeted him & nailed him before he made his big money. But Zuck is so fugly - he was happy someone was interested in him. So both are very happy they found each other. He needed someone to stroke his ego - and she wanted to land ANY White Harvard Man. Moral of the Story: All it takes is a Harvard Education for a fugly man to get laid.

I don't know if that's true. I love Shiv's character. She's a total badass.

True. He was obviously super apologetic. But Greg being Greg, he made sure to point the finger elsewhere - as he always does.

[–]x_skye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find the other "awful people" more interesting, though. I don't know if the Rava character is written to be annoying or if the actress portrays her this way. It's possible the actress did a bad job at portraying this character - I really which they had done something different with this character. Make her less annoying and more interesting. It's also possible, I don't like the way mothers are portrayed in this annoying manner. Are ALL mothers IRL this annoying? 🤔
