@chode_gazer @robbezdjian This guy has no idea what he's talking about. He doesn't appear to understand what a put option is or how it might be priced.

@robbezdjian Dude your bet doesn’t make any sense at all. If a mispriced borrow rate is the key driver of your pnl on this trade, you should easily be able to show us that with numbers, 3rd grade maffs right? Decompose your pnl and show us the missing borrow

Notice: zero names or acceptance of bets, just anons funneling people into private Discords. For those who know me, you know I take complex “impossible” trades, simplify them, and use math (think counting cards) to beat them. There is an extremely simple mathematical and logical reason why I’m right. Hint: what would the time value of a call option have to be if Benn and the anons were right? Hint #2: it wouldn’t be a positive number. Anyone looking to outsmart me in the realm of 3rd grade math or logic is fucked. I was a 3rd grade math champion. (But I don’t like to brag.)

The most infuriating part of this chart is that often state and local taxes exceed profit margins which means that governments make more from these businesses than the owners.

@xwanyex Yet another example of left vs right morality. Conservatives don’t believe in vigilantism. Would pro-lifers like to see abortionists tried and hanged, sure. But they’ll never won’t do it themselves due to respect for order.

@xwanyex Which libtard proclaimed this? We still hear about the horrors of abortion clinic bombings. It is a regular retort when people debate right vs left terrorism.

SpaceX IPO (or NASDAQ inclusion) will mark the top of the market.

I’d take this further, I’m not sure there has been any IRL software advancement since the spreadsheet. I’m rural so no delivery apps or uber and I don’t play vidya. We had TiVO which lead to Netflix but other than that everything is just a spreadsheet display.

@juicystar1908 @texasrunnerDFW Sad to see.

“wHy aRe tHerE iNdiaNs In pOrTuGaL?!” Because they are good slaves, you are not. I hate essay-posting but allow me a rare indulgence: To understand what is happening now, you need understand that this isn’t the first time it’s happened. Why are there Indians in Kenya? Suriname? Fiji? Burma? Because Indians have always been the preferred servile class of elites. The evidence for this goes back hundreds of years. I’ve spoken about British colonial Burma before, and it is a great example of what this looks like. Even after extensive efforts to bring them to heel, the majority of the Burmese ethnic groups were far too resistant to submit to the British empire to be reliable labor. They refused to abandon their culture and ways of life to be slave drones for British pocketbooks. So the Brits started importing Indians to be their colonial administrators, preferring them as labor because they were easier to control and satisfy. By the 1940s, Indians made up almost 20% of the population of the entire country. Another great historical example of this is Suriname - a small country in South America that had been under Dutch colonial rule for 300 years. The Dutch abolished slavery in 1863, forcing colonial plantation owners to have to hire labor to do the work they had previously been using slaves for. But… they didn’t want to pay former slaves or Indigenous locals a living wage for the work. So what did the Dutch elites do instead? Import Indians. Today, Indians still make up 27% of the population. 27%. Of a tiny, obscure South American country. We could basically go through the list of every country with a non-negligible Indian population and the theme would be consistent: They were brought there by elites who needed a submissive, easily exploitable labor pool when local labor asked for better living conditions or wages. Why? Because Indians never did. They are a population that seems fully content with subjugation (even Marx noticed this). So it’s easy to see why they were such an ideal population for the intensive global expansion era of colonial empires. And it’s even easier to see why they are perfect subjects for late capitalism now. They are the culturally, psychologically, and physically ideal organism for the dominant system. There’s 1.4 billion of them. They are deeply socially stratified and so expect and even enjoy inequality. Their cuisine is cheap, meat-free slop. They live amongst trash and filth with no qualms. They don’t care about the environment. Their reaction to death and abuse is blank-eyed indifference. They are physically and spiritually malleable. They not only adopt and internalize the demands of the dominant system as personal ambition, they believe this servitude makes them better than everyone else who hasn’t. Absolutely IDEAL subjects. You, on the other hand, are not the ideal subject. You want to live in a high-trust society. You would shed tears if someone tried to cut down the apple tree you climbed as a child to build a data center. You want to see and experience beauty. You want your own space. You have an expectation that your living conditions will improve over time. You would not be content to live in a room with 10 other people, work 16 hours per day for pennies, and eat cheap slop. You are a liability. Just like the Burmese and Surinamese slaves were. And as we continue to crawl deeper into this late capitalist hellscape, you and your silly little needs will come into increasing conflict with those of the system. Thus, you WILL be replaced by people far easier to control and far less concerned about their own welfare or the welfare of everyone and everything around them. … Unless you do something about it. But the system has already locked-in that you won’t, and that you’ll just sort of fade into nothingness, distracted by meaningless comforts and terrified of the uncertainty of change. So “why are Indians in [wherever]?” Because you are about to not be.

@Jebus Third time’s the charm!

Getting back into crypto feels like giving yourself AIDS so you can go back to sex parties

Even Mencious Moldbug has turned on the Israel experiment.

@number_pizza111 @agrippa_dr @captgouda24 @atlanticesque That’s why I use ‘single quotes’ when not literally quoting someone. Much more aesthetic.

@captgouda24 @atlanticesque speaks of this

I have always been dissatisfied, on aesthetic grounds, with the placement of punctuation around quotation marks and parentheses.

@jweil130 @DanielSLoeb1 @CGasparino You should not be enfranchised. You are weak. You and your ilk have destroyed this once great nation.

@DanielSLoeb1 @CGasparino One question Dan. Is Trump a decent man? Thats table stakes to be president

I talk to people on Wall Street every day. I have heard some belly aching about the President from time to time, but I have literally not once heard a single person say they regret voting for Trump or, "gee, if only Kamala had won, we would be so much better off." Bloomberg News laments any of the advances our country is making for fear that they might reflect well on the @POTUS and all their news is reported through a lens of severe TDS. bloomberg.com/features/2026-…

@ZenOfMakaveli @JohnTitor137 Don’t know the particulars but virologists have been talking about being most afraid of a mutated hantavirus for decades. It’s the one they’re worried about rather than an HIV-modified cold.

@JohnTitor137 Why (theoretically) modify Hantavirus to be contagious when you have a perfectly good Ebola in the Pantry collecting dust?

So I do see all the health people saying how the virus isn’t highly transmissible and they aren’t worried about a pandemic but that only concerns me more because that virus is exactly the kind of virus you’d modify to be a bioweapon and now is exactly the sort of time where certain people might find a pandemic useful, therefore I’d personally assume bioweapon until I was certain otherwise and behave accordingly, therefore there is a concerning dissonance between the way one would expect the pandemic prevention people to behave and the way they are behaving

California was promised to the Anglo Saxon. It is our Israel. It must be retaken.

@A_Hollywood1776 @notsourced Portland was the original OF girl town. Highest proportion of titty bars per capita in the nation.

@notsourced People do know that when they’re multimillionaires they can actually move to different states right? They’re only in Florida because there isn’t an income tax. They can move to Oregon. Make Portland the OF girl town instead of Miami.

Sophie Rain: “If James Fishback becomes Governor and I get taxed 50%, I also think the OnlyFans consumer should be taxed 50%.”

Dems are terrified.

@RepBrandonGill Patriot.

Not a penny.

@Jebus I feel seen.

“Humans are already 4 dimensional because they move through time” - absolute cunt

This has been true since at least 2018. It’s a testament to the Dem machine that they’ve been able to lock competent politicians out - at an ever increasing rate - for over a decade.

The most shocking moment from the Mayoral debate that *nobody* noticed (except Karen Bass' very expensive lawyers) is that she just undermined her entire Palisades Fire case by contradicting her lawyers, admitting on live TV the Palisades Reservoir WAS for wildfires. Her attorneys have consistently fought Spencer Pratt and the 10,000 other fire victims by claiming the reservoir she had drained was for drinking water and not for firefighting purposes. Victims' attorneys have been fighting her on this for like 16 straight months and she just...admitted it. An incredible liar just made an incredible mistake last night and she will be hearing from a LOT of lawyers today.
