@dissproportion You are a complete moron by the way. Somebody with a net loss could owe thousands in taxes. No, there isn't anything else in the tax code similar.
I bought and returned a Ninja Creami because you can make better ice cream quicker with just two ingredients: condensed milk and double (heavy) cream. Whip the cream, add the condensed milk and any flavourings—then freeze. That’s it. Restaurant quality.
abuse your unfair advantage everywhere
everyone has it
> if you live in your mom's basement w no responsibilities, work 12 hr days
> if your know a guy who knows a guy, call that guy
> if your parents paid for ur college, invest your time in up-skilling urself
you were not raised to be a bum
life isnt an even playing field
all the "winners" are not playing fair
to catch up you have to identify your unfair advantage
and abuse it
Excessive ear wax and oily skin are driven by histamine
Increased oil secretion also feeds fungi on the skin like Malassezia which causes dandruff
This is why dysbiosis and gut issues can manifest as skin
Dysbiosis and leaky gut -> increased absorption of inflammatory factors like endotoxin -> activation of mast cells -> histamine and cytokine release -> dandruff, acne, and dermatitis
Fix your gut, fix your skin
Pure Americana, the distilled essence of the first summer after High-School when anything seems possible. The twilight of youth. A nagging sadnes at the death of childhood, but also filled with a trepidatious optimism. The last carefree moments of your life. (If you dont understand this you're not fully ensouled, or from Pakistan, or both)
In case you didn't know, all of the allegations of sexual misconduct, abuse, harassment, and "frat boy culture" was entirely fake and the state of California even admitted that there was no evidence substantiating any of the claims.
The ENTIRE controversy around Blizzard was setup by California to force the company to stop hiring White men using MeToo allegations to strong arm them.
Some of these accusations were so bizarre and insane that they included:
- Theft and consumption of breastmilk during work hours
- A "rape room" named after Bill Cosby
- Sexual harassment to the point of an employee ending her own life
All of these claims were essentially a theatre performance over the fact that ONLY 1-in-5 of Blizzard employees were women.
As a result, Blizzard agreed to pay roughly 18M in fines and setup HR hiring practices that would discriminate against White men.
Internal messages between California Civil Rights Divison officials showed that the entire thing was a ploy to "send a message to the industry" to literally ruin videogames.
It was SO FUCKING FAKE that Brack and Kotick literally PAID THEIR OWN EMPLOYEES TO STAGE A WALK OUT.
After Blizzard capitulated and announced it would discriminate in its hiring the state walked back from a billion dollar lawsuit to a 55M settlement and announced that all the allegations were false.
Fun fact: this is because teachers are biased against boys.
Studies have shown that when teachers don't know the gender of the students they're grading, they grade boys higher.
The reason they get away with money printing is because the average person has a long term memory on the scale of months. Anything longer than this and they are not only completely incapable of associating cause and effect, but literally don’t believe it’s even possible. If you told them this was because of COVID money printing they would look at you like you are a schizophrenic leper.
Ton of comments already touching on this but to be taking home $250k essentially winging it without really knowing what you're doing is just great stuff
Aligns with a perpetual belief of mine that simply putting yourself out there is as good of a strategy as any. Optimizing for subjective perfection is always a choice rather than a necessity. Analyze because you can not because you have to. Have fun playing the game
Do you know why every time I make a huge profit or grow an account to $500K–$1M, I reset it back to $20K and take a 2–3 day break?
Because we’re all human.
No matter how experienced you are, winning big changes your psychology.
The more you win, the easier it becomes to ignore risk. Your confidence grows, your emotions get louder, and your judgment slowly becomes distorted.
That’s when most traders give everything back.
Resetting to a small account forces me to respect the market again. Taking a short break gives my emotions time to return to normal.
I don’t just protect my capital.
I protect my mindset.
In trading, your biggest enemy isn’t the market.
It’s the version of yourself that believes you can’t lose.
When you see which of the popular franchises are getting the woman/troon/race swapping treatment, it makes very clear what the game is here.
Chuds loved Bladerunner 2049. The isolation felt by the white male lead resonated with many. The parasocial relationship he had with his AI "partner". The urban sprawl and decay. Feeling a sense of purpose only to have it shattered, but pushing on anyway.
This is why they chose to destroy this franchise, because you love it.
They did the same thing with the Joker sequel. Chuds identified with the lead white male character and saw in themselves the isolation and desperation and anger he felt towards those who wronged him.
This is why in the sequel they raped and killed him after turning it into a Lady Gaga musical. That's what they want to do to you, humiliate and destroy you.
Anything that you love is something they will try to wreck, because they despise you and want to demoralize you.
If you want something to love, you have to create it. You cannot rely on people who hate you to make things for you. They will only make things for you to punish you with them later.
Hate that they're trooning Blade Runner? Write the next one.

I have been tweeting this for a decade. A fucking decade. Nobody listened to me
Let's be clear about exactly what transpired on that Minnesota playground last year.
A White mom, Shiloh Hendrix, brought her White toddler to enjoy some playtime.
While there, a Somali 8-year-old who is being used in a large-scale Somali autism scam attempted to steal from Shiloh Hendrix. Shiloh Hendrix caught the child stealing, and allegedly called him a “nigger.”
That's when a known Somali sex pest, unrelated to the child (not his uncle as first reported), began filming Shiloh Hendrix, haranguing her for not facilitating the younger Somali's burgeoning criminal career. The Somali sex pest continued accosting Shiloh Hendrix as she was trying to leave the park. He used the word “nigger” three times himself before asking her, “Why don't you have the balls to say it right now again?”
Shiloh Hendrix then defiantly responded, “Fuck you, nigger. Nigger nigger nigger.”
Note that the Somali sex pest pursued Shiloh Hendrix throughout the interaction. She never sought to engage him. And, for the record, he also said “nigger” two more times as he continued browbeating her as she walked away.
The Somali sex pest then immediately seized the opportunity to play victim and posted the video online. A tidal wave of performative anti-White outrage then ensued across social and mainstream media.
Four months after Shiloh Hendrix committed zero crimes on the playground, anti-White prosecutors in Minnesota brought three preposterous charges of “disorderly conduct” against her.
One was dropped pre-trial, and she now faces the remaining two counts of “disorderly conduct.” The first count is for saying “nigger” to the young Somali thief, and the second count is for saying “nigger” to the adult Somali sex pest.
Yes, Shiloh Hendrix is being charged for saying “nigger” to a man after that man asked her to say “nigger.”
Each count carries a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail and/or a $1,000 fine.
The only “disorderly conduct” that took place that day came from the Somali park pirates - not Shiloh Hendrix. But no crime is higher than that of White people's words, so the only actual victim in this incident is now on trial for saying a word - demonstrating, once again, that White people are no longer protected by the First Amendment.
The criminal prosecution of Shiloh Hendrix is yet another in a long list of flagrantly malicious anti-White persecutions. The purpose of a system is what it does. This is America's “justice” system.
Local minima are extremely rare in high dimensional spaces, so if you ever feel stuck in a rut it’s probably just because you aren’t considering a wide enough set of orthogonal options
Fucking up is a gift. Get yourself into some trouble and feel like your life is over. On the verge of giving up but muster up the courage to push one day more and the tide turns in your favor
Your prayers are answered. You got the money. The health. Whatever it is you lost. But the real W isn't the thing itself. It's the newfound confidence in your own abilities
Gained the necessary wisdom that would prevent you from going back to that dark place. But now with the added belief that if you somehow did find yourself down bad again, you'd be able to weather the storm. Proved it. You're him
Scoreboard is temporary. But calmness in the face of uncertainty. Knowing you're the controller of your own reality. Checking the ball up top in any given situation. Unstoppable
"Hey Anglosphere"
"Yes?"

"But that doesn't-"
"Good luck!"
The CIA released a "Reading Improvement Course" that had been hidden from the public since 1955.
I read all 117 pages so you don't have to.
Here are the 10 most interesting quotes from it:
1) "Good reading is not necessarily rapid reading. The rate must be adjusted to comprehension requirements."
2) "To read well you must concentrate. No activity except perhaps writing or thinking makes more rigorous demands upon the whole mind than reading."
3) "Suggestions to develop your ability to concentrate: Be interested. There is no spur to concentration like honest interest."
4) "Some readers have found certain devices useful in keeping their minds on the subject. One device is to jot down key thoughts as one reads. These words act as a fence to confine our wandering thoughts. The practice of underlining key ideas and making notes at the end of each section serves the same purpose.
5) "Concentration is a habit and must be formed. Habits require, at first, a conscious effort of the will. Force yourself to let nothing come between your mind and the matter on the page before you."
6) "When our attention wanders, words slip by us and leave no trace of meaning. Under such conditions we cannot expect a harvest of logical thought. We go through the motions of study or reading, but do not get results. We waste time that could be used far more pleasantly and profitably."
7) "Drawing conclusions is the final step of the reading process and should be based on sound judgment of the author's qualifications, facts presented, methods of presentation, validity of arguments, or style of presentation."
8) There are 3 types of reading:
Intensive reading: when the purpose is to master new subject material, the skills required are translation, integration, analysis and evaluation. The best procedure is (a) rapid preliminary survey of the material, (b) formulation of questions prior to the reading, (c) careful reading, and (d) review and recitation of important points.
Extensive reading: with the purpose of acquiring a broader frame of reference and widening the range of knowledge. The skills required are integration, analysis, and evaluation. The best procedure is rapid and thorough reading of the material. The extensive reading rate should be as fast as the thinking process permits.
Scanning: for (a) the main idea, (b) specific information and (c) a preview of the material. To read effectively the reader must first review the material and the specific purpose for the reading.
9) The SQAR3 Reading Strategy:
"Scan: Quickly scan the introductory paragraph, subtitles, key sentences, key words, summary. Decide on the author's plan.
Question: Turn the title or key sentences into questions.
Anticipate: Before reading, try to answer these questions mentally.
Read: Read the entire selection and look for the author's ideas to answer your questions.
Recite: Close the book or magazine. Tell yourself in your own words what you have learned. Write notes on material that must be remembered.
Review: Later, to make your knowledge stick, review the gist of the article or chapter, again in your own words."
10) How to read with purpose:
-"Have definite questions which you wish answered through reading a given selection.
-While reading, make a mental note of the main points in the paragraph or article.
-From time to time stop to think over the material just read in preceding section.
-Notice the illustrations and examples that are used.
-Develop the habit of criticizing what you read."
My favorite quote from the report:
"Reading is a pleasure, a source of information, and the basis for most decisions that are made today. It deserves the liveliest interest and the best techniques we can master."
