I mean traditionally the stock market is gambling up to a certain point, after which it becomes a way for the rich to continue getting richer without having to work. You have to make enough money to be able to buy extremely stable investments (like commodities and government bonds) with low dividends in enough volume to just get noticably richer, along with a diverse spread of low to moderate risk to help push the numbers up. The problem is that the initial investments need to be high to do all that.

I think everyone did lol. I tried to find a pic of her from the duct tape episode where she used self-made claws to trash a car, but only found this and the one with the super long balloon popping claws. Anyway, I want some, claws are awesome.

Neat. My grandfather moved to America from New Brunswick.

I don’t believe in curses but that thing is definitely fucking cursed.

Right it was the stimulus checks that kept people from working, not the lockdown from the pandemic. Jackass.

Meh, people getting mad at me is not a big deal. I’ve been living with it since I was 5.

The Orange Jackass is incapable of understanding the concept of sympathy. It’s all performative, and he can’t even make the effort to pull that off.

It’s fueled by greed and the desire to control others.

No I never thought to ask about it. But it’s good to know, I guess?

I’m one of the people who can only taste how bitter wild cabbage cultivars (broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, cabbage). It’s generic, like people who think cilantro tastes like soap, except the bitter tasting gene is the original and the non-bitter tasting mutation is the newer aberration. If you have 2 copies of the bitter tasting gene, stuff like broccoli tastes like fucking poison. So ya’know, fuck that, I’d rather have the pineapple.

They can’t swim - in fact they run across the bottom of the water and it’s terrifying.

I play civ 6 I don’t need to imagine shit.

The was on Xmas is over because Xmas already won. We’re in an occupied Xmas state.

• The radio has been playing Xmas music for 8 weeks straight.
• You can’t walk into a mall, shop, grocery store, it has station without hearing Xmas music. Several channels play 24/7 Xmas movies for most of December.
• A Christmas Story plays on 48 hour loop in Xmas.
• Every other house is covered in lights, props, and inflatable decorations
• Stores start selling Xmas stuff in October.
• Most everyone making content, from the news to YouTube says Merry Christmas.
• Spirit now has Christmas stores.
• There are stores that sell Christmas merch all year long.
• Xmas specials are everywhere on TV leading up to it.
• Fox News pushes Xmas propaganda to keep it ascendant and quash decent.

Clearly Christmas has won. the best anyone else can manage is to fight to push it back across the December 1st line, and it’s thusfar been a futile effort.

What do you think the mask hating whiners are? They’re toddlers with voting rights.

We’ve all known this for years. He’s a malignant narcissist. He is everything conservatives aspire to be.

Recycling is an option.

Isn’t it fun living through the decline phase of our civilization?

That’s like succeeding at mowing the lawn by eating the grass.
