I gamble too, but I do it with knockout options. I sometimes buy a factor 20 option, set it to 5% trailing stop loss and watch what happens.
In many cases, the option starts losing value and is automatically sold once it’s lost 5%, which isn’t too bad if you’ve invested, say, 1000 €. You lose ~50 €.
In other cases it goes up. And up. My current high score is making 450 € with one such investment.
It’s fun, and not too risky. Meanwhile, my retirement vehicles go brrr.
I just want shit to work. I want to use it as my daily driver so I can get work done, not waste time to get things working. I don’t want my installation to become obsolete. I want a nice desktop. I want a lot of nerdy console stuff, but good UI as well, so I can choose the best of both worlds for each use case, so I can work efficiently. I want to play the occasional game.
At the moment, EndeavourOS ticks all those boxes for me. I am aware other distros do as well, CachyOS looks nice. But I’m only gonna switch if it’s really worth the effort.
I started investing during the corona dip. Best financial decision of my entire life. These days, it’s an extra 20% of effortless household income and the entire portfolio value is up almost 40%.
But even then I felt I was just too late to the party for going into crypto. Thank goodness.
Well, having a book like “Mein Kampf” on your nightstand is not a good sign either, but him using all the methods of a demagogue should have been unmistakable and even more obvious.
Anyone could have known as early as 2016. Just by checking the Wiki page on demagogues and having a look at the tactics section.
Both Hitler and Trump check all of those boxes. These two have more in common than people want to admit.
The problem with people like this is NOT the fact that they were dumb enough to believe Trump’s lies about tariffs.
The real problem is them crying more about having to pay the tariffs themselves than about having been blatantly lied to.
So here’s a quick recipe for a spicy egg salad. It’s a kind of love it or hate it thing, but it definitely has the same musical effect on your digestion.
Not a cellphone in sight. Just capybaras living in the moment.
Good luck, we’re all counting on you.
Of course it’s all assumptions, as I explicitly wrote “if looks were my only criteria to go by.”
Read first, then comment.
But aren’t a large number of tattoos/piercings more correlated with low self-esteem?
You criticize me for making assumptions, then you come up with an even bigger one…
First girl looks like an obedient, probably rather boring person. Second girl looks like she’s self-confident, likes to party and have fun, is open-minded and great fun to be with.
Looks can be deceiving, but I would be drawn to the tattooed girl if looks were my only criteria to go by.
Do they, really?
Remember how noone says “it was just Hitler and his thugs”, no, the world correctly identifies deeply rooted problems within the German mindset and German society of the time as major contributing factors to what ultimately led to the catastrophe we know as WWII and the Holocaust. Militarism, blind obedience before orders and oaths, blaming others.
Even today, Germans are very often confronted with their Nazi past, usually by Americans who think their sense of humor is superior when they crack a dumb Nazi joke (I would like to get a Euro every time I read “I did nazi this coming” on the internet).
No, people do NOT forget. And they don’t care who you are - a perpetrator or someone who was opposed to what happened and apologized for their country. They don’t even care if you knew.
“I didn’t vote for this” is fast becoming the new “I didn’t know anything about it”.
I’m German, so take it from me - sorry, Americans, I wish it was different, but the world will not distinguish what you think about what happened, they will only see an American. People are simple and will always blame the collective.
My granddad was shot by the Wehrmacht for defection, but the world will always just see the Nazi soldier.
And we also see your fighter jet flyovers at the super bowl, the glorification of your military, the gun cult, the lack of social laws and how every single person in America has to fend for themselves. This lack of empathy is a deeply rooted problem in the American mindset and I view it as a contributing factor that enabled Trump.
Sad but true.
Digital Underground made an entire song explaining sex packets.
The Nazis executed my Grandpa for refusing to continue fighting in a war they forced him to participate in, in 1944.
At the time, you could be beheaded simply for saying you didn’t believe the war could be won anymore. They called it “Wehrkraftzersetzung”.
You can still resist without immediately forfeiting your life. You might regret not having done it when it is too late.
I find it incredibly disheartening that even on this platform, your comment got five downvotes so far.
Basically counting the days before he introduces a “Law to Remedy the Distress of the People and the Empire”.
The world will never forget. This was all done by Shitler and the people who voted for him.
