Absolutely correct. I played around with options several times during the height of the pandemic and lost over 99% of my investment. I think it was about 99.3%. It's straight up gambling.

Shorting a stock can result in you owing more than you've already spent. That's back alley gambling.

Keep in mind there are literally thousands of Redditors who have the same idea.

I think your insights feature must be broken, guru, because you're dead wrong.

Lol, your rebuttals don't even make sense. You know you're on the Internet, right? You can actually look things up instead of making things up. I guess the problem is reality doesn't match the propaganda you choose to believe, since the alternative is realizing you're promoting genocide.

Every war in history kills more civilians than combatants. Normally that ratio is about 6:1.

Verifiably false. It's approximately 50%. Even up to 2007, Israel was able to kill Palestinian militants versus civilians at a rate of approximately 2:3. Suddenly, it's over 1:2. It's almost as if all the videos and journalist eyewitness accounts of the "most moral army" indiscriminately killing men, women, and children are actually true! They've killed so many civilians, they've wiped out more than that US did in its three year campaign against the Islamic State.

Hamas is attacking aid trucks that are let in and stealing the aid to resell. It's not starving the population to stop aiding the people attacking you.

Hey look guys, not only is Hamas in refugee camps and hospitals, Hamas is now in the IDF, shooting refugees trying to get aid! Hamas has also infiltrated the Israeli population and staged that pathetic "rave" that blocked humanitarian aid. Man, Hamas is everywhere!

Back at you.

Yes, I'm clearly a mouthpiece for Israeli propaganda. I know you're not much of a thinker, but come on.

This is more info for anyone on the fence. Don't believe the Israeli genocidal propaganda, kids. It's way too easy to disprove.

That's why I freeze dried mine and keep them in the glove compartment for use in the HOV lane.

Did you know it you go back far enough, rape and murder was acceptable because there was no society? Go back even farther and we brachiated and ate carrion. What's my point? There is no point, it's a bad argument.

They're actively colonizing now. It was wrong before and it's wrong now.

The amount of bullshit you spew on a regular basis is pretty impressive. Your comment history is like an Israeli propaganda primer.

"It's not a genocide, they're just killing more civilians than combatants and starving out the population by blocking humanitarian aid, just like past genocides. But this one is different because it you object you're automatically an anti-semite!"

Sure.

Only when he's slobbering on Putin's knob.

I had the same thought. I know people with complex PTSD from mild but persistent childhood abuse and it has made life hell for some of them. I can't even imagine what it must be like for these children.

As someone also with a largely mysterious, if diagnosed, medical condition, have you tried meditation?

Just kidding! I get tons of well meaning, often worthless advice, but that's by far the most common. I'm like, bitch, I meditate so goddamn much I'm giving the fucking Buddha pointers. Meditation is the only reason I'm not throwing you (and maybe myself with you) out the window right now.

If I may give you one non-medical suggestion from someone who has been there and to some extent still is there, it'll get better as long as you don't give up. You have to be dogged about improvement and it won't be fast or easy, but it'll be there if you put in the work. People who don't understand will think you're being crazy and obsessive, telling you that you need to just come to terms with your condition. Coming to terms is a part of it, but there's always, always something to try. Improving my condition is my biggest hobby and primary job.

I've been plugging away at improving my health for four years now and went from barely being able to function to being 80% normal. I'm working full time again (I know, oh joy) and I can do a lot of the things I used to be able to do. You'll get there, just keep at it. Let me know if I can help or if you ever need to talk, even just to vent.

It took me a second to figure out if you're my wife or not as that's exactly my story too. It's depressing how frequently I encounter people, typically Americans, that took years or even decades to get a diagnosis. My issues started around the age of 5 and I didn't get a diagnosis until 31 years and literally dozens of doctors later.

The doctor that diagnosed me didn't know how to handle it or who to send me to. It took nearly a year to find a doctor who was willing to even try to help. Even with a helpful doctor, I still had to piece together an effective treatment plan myself through trial and error plus a ton of literature review.

I had the same issue, I only had a few safe foods. I have a mast cell related disorder. I'm on a slew of meds to help, but the thing that helped more than anything else was getting my chronic, 24/7 stress under control. It turns out being keyed up all the time isn't good for you. Who knew?

I have him blocked so I can't see his comments, but I suspected who you were talking about after reading your first paragraph. Yeah, he started making really cringe nonsense critical responses to other comments I made and a bunch of older posts no one ever voted on mysteriously were voted down, though that could be an odd coincidence. What's he up to now?

It was never true and both were originally said by Michael Pollan, an incredibly privileged white man.

For the record, my maternal grandmother heavily utilized canned and processed foods in her cooking. Her mother did the same and all six of her sons died from heart disease in their forties, fifties, and sixties.

My paternal grandmother was similar to my maternal grandmother. Her mother was incredibly poor, so she relied heavily on processed meats and wheat products. All seventeen of her children developed type 2 diabetes, yes ALL of them, the complications of which killed my grandmother and at least three of her siblings. Remember that it was commonly taught that sugar gave you energy and was healthy for you! My nonna and bisnonna loved white bread and sugar in their sauce and it killed them.

It only rings true if you never question its wisdom.

Its tank:

Not having read much of the comics, I never noticed Betty and Veronica had the same face. Then someone pointed it out and now it's all I can see.

Same here. We have about 10 pounds of chocolate in a storage bin that's slowly growing stale.

That's how my milk used to come when I was a little kid.

YES! I chewed on so many of these, especially late at night. If you haven't had them already, get SunKist's Fruit Gems candy. It's not quite the same but it scratches that same mental itch for me.

Wait, his base can read at all?!
