I can only speak for myself, but as a Star Wars fan, I’m very aware it’s fantasy. Shit man, it’s got wizards.

I wonder what John Oliver is going to buy?

I thought about that. Apparently the short interest was so high they were charging shorts crazy interest rates to borrow it. You’d have to bet on a huge drop in a very short amount of time. I can’t be bothered to look it up but I think it was something crazy like 40-50x a normal rate. One of the only reasons to hold was to charge short sellers interest, for a sane person anyway.

The 52-week high is just under $80. That would be intra-day though, maybe it never closed above $65.

Common misconception.

July and August were renamed. The original names were derived from five and six. The extra two months that threw everything off were January and February. When 5-10 were named January and February didn’t even have names, it was just that cold period when there was no planting or harvesting. There were a bunch of other changes to the calendar over the centuries before we got where we are too.

He didn’t fuck with anything. For them it was money well spent. Think of all the things that used to be coordinated and all the information shared on Twitter. That’s gone, or at least seriously degraded, that’s what they bought.

Lingua franca dude. I’ve never heard “hit the wall” used outside the man-o-sphere. Maybe not exclusively incel, but incel adjacent at least.

I imagined work as a building with a big neon sign out front that said “work”.

Yeah, they kind of had a point until they busted out the incel-speak at the end.

Careful with that. If you’re not making estimated tax payments on your dividends (or other capital gains) every quarter or increasing your withholdings from wages to compensate, and you owe too much at the end of the year, you can get hit with penalties and interest.

For most people the quarterly dividends in their brokerage aren’t enough to trigger that, but as your savings grows and quarterly dividends become significant they might.

Is the book just the story or does it have the parts where the grandpa is reading the book to the kid?

Shit, I don’t even think it has to be subtle. People emigrate all the time for a variety of reasons. And most of them are much less compelling than “I’m surrounded by people who might decide to murder my entire family any day.”

They have no responsibility to stick it out and take the risk just because other people, including myself, don’t want to see the settlers win.

It seems like it was just yesterday some would bring up some millennial kids bullshit and someone else would respond; “you know they’re all adults now, right?”

Now it’s starting to happen with zoomers?

I don’t know where I was going with this. I’m going to go take my Geritol now.

Exactly. I get the frustrations of the son and grandson of factory workers that finds it hard to imagine anything more than working at Walmart wanting to tear it all down. What I don’t understand is my neighbor in Dana Point.

I assume that’s a gif because I remember that line and it’s a perfectly hilarious response, but I just see a pic.

Gifs don’t seem to work for me. Is that a problem with Jerboa?

Yeah, insta-fail is just lazy design. Becoming undetected again is fun.

And Mel Gibson. When they were lobbying to get rid of the regulations, the supplement industry did commercials that had Mel’s home getting raided by SWAT-looking guys for having supplements.

I don’t know if they’re still around, but when I was a kid and ATMs were still kind of new there were drive thrus at banks where you interacted with a teller using a speaker and a pneumatic tube for sending/receiving.

My mom would let me operate the tube from the back seat, I thought it was cool as shit.
