I haven’t looked at reddit since whenever they disabled 3rd party apps. I was on kbin for a while but find myself over here now.

Saw one of these out in the wild yesterday; wasn’t sure if it was meant to be ironic, but assuming it was.

I don’t know shit about PA laws, but in FL (and probably any stand your ground or castle law state); because of stand your ground, you can shoot the driver of the truck and hope to kill them before they hit someone. They don’t even have to be driving towards you… they can be trying to drive over someone else.

Very seldomly.

Gaming for me at this point is playing Rimworld on my work computer while I am waiting for something / someone.

I had a theory during Covid that if I would be able to embarass the shit out of anti-vaxers on Nextdoor, that they’d stop showing up and spreading bad info. I never got to check / test / confirm any results to what I was (completely unscientifically) doing; but this is a great article to make me feel like I am getting a pat on the back.

100% - Cheers!

I think you’re right. I grew up right before that… got bullied a lot until about 6th grade. Got into fights at the bus stop probably once every two weeks or so. Got beat up pretty bad when we had deep snow one time.

Once I got home, I got a knife and a bat and went over to his house where he was outside with a neighbor. I chased that SOB around with a steak knife and a bat until he ran out of breath… didn’t hit him when he started crying and begging me not to hurt him; but I sure instilled the fear of god in him.

He’s a Baltimore city police officer last I heard.

“If you push me, I am going to hit you with a Buick.”

I’ve lost “friends” over this philosophy, but the friends I’ve gained since taking on the philosophy feel a lot more real.

Likewise, if you’re being bullied, destroy the bully and the bullying will stop.

First time I don’t 100% agree with him. I partially agree with Bernie here. Had Harris stuck with a more progressive ticket, she’d have stood a better chance; however, that doesn’t explain the millions and millions of Americans that voted for a convicted criminal, rapist, kleptocrat, that claims to be for Jesus.

It was the “baby - sandwich - dog” era. Super easy decision at the time 😁

I left Facebook in 2009 or 2010 or so, but I attempted to register a facebook account for my business over the weekend. I can confirm, it wanted a selfie of my business. Wasn’t sure what to do with that, so I still don’t have a facebook account for my business.

He wants to *sterilize people, not euthanize (according to the article). Maybe he wants to euthanize some people too (likely) but that’s not what the article is about. Euthanasia =/= sterilization.

“Third world low iq sucker punch fights over nothing, with dumb animal spectators jumping up and down in excitement,” said Beattie. “The same low-IQ trash who watch the fast and furious franchise. Beginning to wish the whole population reduction conspiracy were true.”

He’s describing MMA fans, and people (in the USA) that watch fast and the furious… Remember (last month) when Mango Mussolini went to UFC in FL? …yea, he’s hating on the voter base that got him where he is.

He wants to offer air jordans to people that volunteer for vasectomies… uh, they can keep the shoes, but I’m down for more people that cannot afford vasectomies or people without health insurance (there’s an abundance) to get them.

I understand the story that this article is attempting to illustrate, but you’re conflating things. Also, I’d hardly consider the Independent as a reputable source.

Also… I’m getting a little bit tired of outrage that has no output. So this week we’re surprised and outraged about another white nationalist in this administration?

:: yawn::

I read the article. He defined it as people that like the Fast and the Furious franchise.

I’m not entirely opposed to his suggestion.

wait for Trump to say or do some really dumb shit, watch the SPY ticker… watch it drop off a cliff

Like today! It’s an indicator for “buy a call contract(s)”

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.
