@TheDemSlayer Who are you preaching to? A 17 year old girl has no mental capacity to make their own decision while you oggle at her... would you let your little girl have g out with a man that wants to bang her? He ain't teaching her math, cmon now. Youre an idiot defending killing.

When Tulsi Gabbard announced her resignation Friday, traders panic bought “Out by June 1” shares all the way up to 97¢
They missed one detail:
Her resignation letter said her exit date was June 30
Minutes later, the shares were worthless

Two Bulgarian friends killed the entire streaming industry.
It's called Stremio + Torrentio. You get 4K content from Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max combined for free.
Here's how it works.
Stremio is the player. Clean interface. Works on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and TV. You install it once and it looks like any other streaming app.
Torrentio is the addon. You add it to Stremio in one click. It scrapes content from every major torrent provider on the internet simultaneously and delivers the best available stream directly to your player. 720p, 1080p, 4K. You pick the quality. It finds the link.
→ No account required
→ No subscription
→ Works on every device
→ 4K and HDR supported
→ Subtitles built in
Netflix cannot shut this down. There is no central server to seize. No company to pressure. No domain to kill. It runs on your device and pulls from the open internet.
The entire streaming industry is built on one assumption. That you will keep paying $70/month rather than spend 5 minutes on GitHub.
That assumption just died in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Nike stock has fallen nearly 70% over the last 5 years!
growing up, Nike felt untouchable.
I remember getting my first pair of Nike basketball shoes when I was 14. It felt like "wowwww”
looking at the charts today, that premium aura is fading fast
here is possibly why Nike is losing its footing
1) A "coolness" crisis
Nike relied on "hype" and rereleasing old classics like Jordan
they stopped innovating and played it safe
2) The retail mistake
Nike tried to cut out the middleman
they stopped selling to many local shoe stores to focus on selling directly through their own apps
it was a bad move and backfired
they lost massive shelf space and visibility, allowing competitors to walk right in and take their place
3) Losing the China market
this is a big one
Chinese consumers are shifting toward local brands like Li-Ning and Anta
Chinese brands are no longer “cheaper alternative”
if you visit Chinese brand stores, you can feel the quality is genuinely there
as domestic pride grows in China, Nike’s premium status is being replaced by local favorites that offer better value
I still buy Nike products when there is discount 😂
The "Swoosh" isn't going away, but the days of it being the only dominant player in the game are over

En mi tienda hay una Switch 2 con la que la gente puede jugar cuando quiera.
El otro día vino un niño, tendría unos 7 años, con sus abuelos.
La abuela me preguntó si el niño podía jugar al juego de las carreras (el Mario Kart). Yo le dije que sí, pero que era un juego para
Look I never post, but I'm baffled that other high profit prediction market traders won't admit the truth here... gambling is an addiction, it's been actively marketed in the same way cigarettes were, and a few people are benefiting off the backs of many. Own it.
@ToonMatthewT1 “Abundantly clear” is a pretty hilarious take
Why did Kalshi continue promoting this market after reports of his death began surfacing when Kalshi knew how this would resolve in case of his death?
With the market down recently, it is an important reminder to keep blindly pouring your money into the S&P500. If you invested at 25 years old in 1929 and retired at 70 in 1974, you would have made a 84% return. That is almost a 1.4% annualized return!
@DustinGouker youre arguing 70% = not a call but a coinflip near its limit
prediction markets work better when the lesson is the odds shifting, not the final outcome
Had a Jane Street interview in 2013 that still bothers me.
It was my 6th round. Final interview. The guy walks in carrying no laptop, no notebook, just a cold brew and what I later realized was a single IKEA tea candle.
He writes on the whiteboard:
food: $200
rent: $800
utilities: $150
candles: $3,600
family: dying
Then he turns around and says, “Optimize.”
I laughed because I thought it was a culture-fit bit. He did not laugh.
So I said, “Well, obviously you spend less on candles.”
He says, “Assume candles are non-discretionary.”
Okay.
I start building a model. Basic constraint satisfaction. Family survival as a soft penalty. Candles as a state variable. Maybe there’s an arbitrage where you buy wholesale paraffin and convert the $3,600 line item into inventory.
He stops me.
“You’re thinking like a consultant.”
That’s when I knew I was in trouble.
He says, “Give me a bid-ask on family dying.”
I say, “What?”
He says, “You’re long candles, short family. Where do you make markets?”
I try to recover. I say the real issue is liquidity: rent and utilities are fixed, food is elastic, candles are emotionally inelastic. Therefore the optimal strategy is to securitize future candle enjoyment and borrow against it.
He nods for the first time.
Then he asks, “What time do you sell the candles?”
I say, “Whenever the market is liquid?”
He says, “Be more specific.”
I say, “Uh… 10 a.m. Eastern?”
For the first time, he smiles.
He goes, “Every day?”
I say, “Every day.”
He says, “In size?”
I say, “In size.”
He says, “And what do we call that?”
I say, “Market manipulation?”
The room gets very quiet.
He looks disappointed and writes something down.
“No. We call it providing liquidity to candle ETFs during the U.S. cash open.”
I try to save it. “Right. Of course. The family isn’t dying because we underfunded them. They’re just experiencing temporary price discovery.”
He nods again.
Then he points back at the board.
I had missed it. The utility bill was $150, but candles provide light. You can zero out utilities.
I update the budget:
food: $200
rent: $800
utilities: $0
candles: $3,750
family: still dying, but now in a more capital-efficient way
He says, “How confident are you?”
I say, “0.95.”
He smiles and circles candles.
“0.95 huh?”
Then he asks me to estimate how many leveraged longs get liquidated if we dump $3,750 of candles at 10:00:01 every morning for 90 consecutive trading days.
Needless to say I did not get the offer.
