Oh hi, you're awake from your coma. A lot has happened in the last 40 years. Culottes came back, but are already out of fashion again. There's more, but I'm not sure where to start.

And not to confuse the issue, because again, the Klamath River is not close enough to matter, but dams contribute to drought conditions.

Stocks, and really anything, is worth exactly the intersection of what someone is willing to pay and what the person who has it is willing to accept. You can make valuations based on profits and growth and liabilities, but those are estimates to help professionals determine what they are willing to pay or accept. If some dolt is willing to pay more, then that's what it is worth for that transaction.

If the stock goes up in value, some people will sell. There's a natural balance to the curve, as the faster a stock rises, the more people will sell and this will bring the price back to earth. This is why the diamond hands strategy of Game Stop investors was so confounding. People weren't buying for profit, they were buying to fuck over short selling hyenas. But that's a whole nother can of worms.

The point is, if people believe it will go up, they will buy. More buyers means the price goes up, so that can have a compounding effect, and they feel good about their decision. When people think it's gone high enough, they sell, which makes the price go down, and they feel good about their decision.

The stock market is as much paychology as it is economics. Precicting what humans will do and then doing it first is the real magic of investing. And with Muskeegee Airhead, there's no way to predict what he will do. That's why risk averse investors are moving away.

Not really. There are plenty of social media apps and services that aren't toeing the line. TikTok is being targeted because of their relatioship with China.

You're thinking of the Undertaker. I think she was a quirky RPG where a boy had to navigate a world of monsters.

Generic pop-country singer.

Which one was she?

I'd love it if they would do more Halloween specials, like a live action Marvel Zombies, or a Legion of Monsters one-off.

Is this your app? I installed it, but I have some notes if you're interested.

Some people truly believe in Musk and the brand. Those people are dipshits, but if you excluded dipshits from your market predictions, you would always be wrong.

But pension funds have a responsibility to go long, and while Tesla may rise or fall on Musk's digital bowel movements, volatility is the problem.

Likely sock-puppets for oligarchs trying to prop up the stock value under the weight of sell-offs.

 

Haven't seen any posts all year.

 

“Tonight, Missouri lynched another innocent Black man,” NAACP President Derrick Johnson said in a statement.

That man shook my hand, looked me straight in the eye, and said with a smile, "It's really nice to meet you." I am, in fact, incredibly unpleasant. WHAT ELSE IS HE LYING ABOUT?!

 

I heard someone say this in a video recipe, followed by way more cheese than you should eat at once. It occurred to me that the phrase means ample, not nutritious.

 

Has this ever happened to you? There's a fly in the house, buzzing around you, so you go to the cabinet to get the swatter. But as soon as you start wielding it, the little bastard disappears. You set it down, and now he's back, taunting you.

Ok so obviously flies don't taunt, but do they have the capacity to recognize, even instinctually, that I'm holding a deadly weapon?
