Give the next one a Zip drive and document please.

That’s because vampires are fictional.

Lived in FL for 28 years and the last time I heard it called the shore was in Ocean City, MD In 1997

To add on to this, what I'm doing specifically... wait for Trump to say or do some really dumb shit, watch the SPY ticker... watch it drop off a cliff, and every time you see a giant red line with the thing going down, you buy as much as you can afford for a date that's like 3 weeks out (to make it as inexpensive as possible). I bought $40 worth of call options about 5 weeks ago and made around $1800 off it.

Oh and this is not financial advice, I'm a cloud engineer not a banker.

I'm super happy and excited that someone on Lemmy asked me! It's buying a "call option" on SPY (which is an ETF of the S&P index - otherwise, it's basically a way to invest in the "stock market" blindly). So when you break it down... it's like saying "I can buy a lotto ticket that says "SPY will be > x as of y date" - If you're not familiar with how the market works *(and I sure as hell wasn't 2 years ago), if you buy an option, it's a contract to buy 100 shares of a stock. If you buy 10 options, you're basically on the hook to pay for 10x 100 shares of a stock; but here's the kicker... when you buy options, as long as you sell your options contract before the expiration date, you don't have to actually pay for the stock - so while your random ass gamble is becoming more and more likely; you can just sell off the profits you made to cash in before you're shelling out $44k on stock.

I'm too regarded to understand puts. I only buy calls.

Were you also buying contracts on SPY when it was hanging out around 515?

Lol, yea... I sold off a bunch of stuff before Trump's tariff's too. Guess what else, I also bought a few contracts of SPY when it dropped as a result. I've made a bunch of money off the Trump corruption. You can too.

It's entirely fucked up that this is happening, but you're a fool if you're not taking advantage of the system that they're manipulating right now.

General advice at this point, check the dumb shit he says on Truth social every once in a while, and consider buying really cheap SPY calls after the man-made dips.

All of the shit that’s current existing that you’ve listed isn’t working. Touch it.

Usually this.

Either 1 or 20

Ok Darkseid

Ya I mean, you could buy the teachers versions of textbooks on eBay in the late 1990s… pretty sure teachers didn’t want us using those.

When you need a multi-paragraph explanation as to differentiate femicide from domestic abuse; your point invalidates.

I guess it's just me but I feel like "misogynist homicide" is more clear than femicide. That massive paragraph breaking it down between domestic violence and something specifically called "femicide" is completely unnecessary. As I write this on a computer and keyboard at this point, I'm realizing it wants to spell check "femicide" because it's also not in the spell-check dictionary.

I'm going to re-affirm, this is dumb.

Everything doesn't have a special word, that's my point.

I find it obscene that a word needs to have a definition this long. Why can’t we continue using “homocide?” Why does a woman that was killed for being a woman need a special word for it?

I had never heard of this dude before Trump made him FBI director but seriously, does a picture of him exist where he doesn’t have the “oh my god, I have no idea what the fuck is going on,” deer in headlights face thing happening?

I mean, I think my assessment is probably correct but it’s just incredibly improbable that in every picture he looks like he showed up to class, realized that he forgot to write the book report and the teacher is asking for people with last names starting with “P” to present to the class.
