A case of a movie influencing the real world:

Sometimes I feel like the Stock Market is fucking rigged, to borrow a page out of tRump's book.

It is an emotional rollercoaster with stocks at least when day trading. I look for valleys in stocks to see if I want to buy in and sell quickly in the same day session.

I saw primarily G and F (just first letter of the stocks) being highly volatile, so I day traded those to the fucking moon. I then tried to get into other fucking stocks and lost my gains then I'd get back into G and F and gain my gains back, but t...

Why does "The One" matter? Oh yeah, humans and animals have a duty to procreate. The spiel of the simple "meet someone, fall in love, get married, buy a house and have kids" creates that hole from childhood. "The One" would fill that hole. This implies L.T.R.

Spent time over the years thinking about that hole and trying patch it up with duct tape as I realize I don't need to do any of those things to be happy. "The One" isn't that one you'd find and marry (or common law) the first time unless you are ...

I wouldn't do it right now, but I've been more curious about learning more about options. Buy/Sell of stocks is already risky, options trading is far more intense (price volatility and expiration). Make the wrong call and the money you put in can be fucked. The right call though will put you at significant gain. Would expect to make more wrong calls than right though.

I'm sure many, if not all, firms will put it in bold that most lose money investing and you will too at your own risk.

I found this guide very...

Hmmmm, I feel like this should be one of the most visible articles on Wikipedia. It is news, but very boring news that I'd want. I might consider adding it to the front page of this site mostly as a reminder to myself.

You may be familiar with this shitty error probably using Gradle 6.7:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.lang.String cannot be cast to class java.util.List (java.lang.String and java.util.List are in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap')

You likely have this in your afterEvaluate block:

javadoc {
  inputs.property("moduleName", moduleName)
  doFirst {
    options.addStringOption('-module-path', classpath.asPath)
  }
}

You can fix it with:

javadoc {
  inputs.property("moduleName", moduleName)

Anytime a doctor measures my BMI, I say this doctor is a hack and never go to the same doctor again.

Here's an NPR story on why BMI is literal bullshit: https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=106268439

Yeah, it is a fucking hack that takes no other things to measure. Lol, because waist size just does not matter apparently. Imagine being full of muscle, but being told by your robot doctor that you are obese. LOL 😭🤪

BMI = (Weight in Pounds x 703) / (Height in inches x Height in inches). WTF is thi...

Much better experience than retard debates with the rTard 45th. Fucking a.

Much better to hear what he has to say about what he thinks and how he grapples with his past, present and how he hopes to contribute to the country's future.

It is more bearable to watch. I didn't bother watching the debate only clips of it because I already knew what was going to happen. Does anyone not remember 2016 Election debates? I watched Trump at that time and during his rallies. He is an attention hog. If he doesn't have much...

This guy sums up what I agree with: https://popehat.substack.com/p/section-230-is-the-subject-of-the

There's no reason why Section 230 should be invoked every time some politician feels offended.

Fuck conservatives and their horseshit propaganda. Fuck Trump for that matter. Fuck the FCC if they turn it upside down.

Section 230 this, conservatards. I am really annoyed by these politics and I lean towards apolitical.
