@TradersConf @provocateur_io I give a course in "how not to lose money on crappy trading courses". Only $99. I might be able to fit you in before the class fills up. Space is limited.

@provocateur_io Just kept putting more money in

I've spent $23,000 on trading courses and have only lose money from trading. I hate this game.

@9mmsmg @DreX_AD I got the grandfather scam call and I engaged the fellow for hours and found out where he lives (Jamaica) and lots of other information. His phone company wouldn't even block his line after I sent them the recordings. These people just don't give enough of a 💩

@DreX_AD 100%

My MIL has had her debit card information stolen so many times that her bank blacklisted her permanently. She canceled the card and went to her bank, and they told her they would give her an ATM card only. When she spoke to the manager, he said she was deemed too high risk to have a debit card with them any longer. She's not elderly or unintelligent. She just exists mentally in a world where you should be able to trust people. A world that doesn't exist. The punishment for scamming should be so severe that the idea of trying it is horrifying. For scammers living in South Asia and Nigeria, we should sanction their countries so heavily that their governments are forced to crackdown so severely that the idea of scamming someone gives them nightmares. I know too many people who are simply far too trusting who have been taken advantage of. From cars to debit cars.

@TheoryTrading @TheShortSniper Rugpull in $UGRO is going to be epic. My only regret is I didn't short enough. Was very hard to locate borrow.

@TheShortSniper Only up 200%. Standard move from a month ago…

$UGRO going nuts

@WealthChakraa @it_unprofession I don't understand why they advertise treadmills by listing the degrees of incline and the horsepower. They should just be listed by clothes hanging capacity.

The fact that you had to put your clothes hanger on Wi-Fi to update its firmware about your biometrics you're not even using is the most 2025 sentence ever That's the whole economy right there Expensive device. Requires internet for basic function. Collects data about activity you're not doing. Gets mad about it.

My wife bought a smart treadmill last January. She swore it'd revolutionize our morning routine. It has a giant screen that yells at you in real-time. For the first three weeks, she woke up at 5 AM to run with a virtual instructor named Chad. Chad's very enthusiastic about pushing your limits. By February, Chad was running alone. Now the treadmill is a very expensive clothes hanger. It currently holds three hoodies, a wet towel, and my gym bag. Yesterday it asked me to update its firmware. I had to connect our clothes hanger to the Wi-Fi. It took forty minutes to download a patch just so it could continue doing absolutely nothing. I'm afraid to unplug it because it tracks our biometrics. Chad always knows.

@HSAddict697 @TsarinaBomba It's actually more like 71,000 once you factor in all the hot air from the politicians.

@Barryspar @TsarinaBomba To help the environment, reusable bags, particularly cotton bags, need to be used approximately 7,100 times to offset their production emissions!

Ok who knows what’s going on at $lnsr

@shlishkas Sweetie pie I bless you that you should always remain ignorant of what it's like to be in soul crushingly excruciating psychological pain. And that someday you'll become intelligent enough to recognize that ignorance.

There’s a reason we don’t sit shiva for people that kill themselves according to Halacha. We need to bring that back. The most selfish, pathetic thing anyone can do is quit the game. You don’t get to do that. על כרחך אתה חי. Deal with your issues, coward.

@frailstate_xo @TruthAgape If a child decides to chop off a finger or an ear, we would take the knife away. We wouldn't say "let the kids do what they want". How come when they want to chop off sexual organs it's suddenly better?

@TruthAgape what if we just let kids do what they want

There were a few things that tipped me over the edge to speaking boldly against the exploitation of children by the trans movement. 1) over half of my daughter's friends were identifying as trans when she was in middle school 2) adults I loved and respected traded their secure known identity for uncertain pronoun fluidity, revealing the cult-like nature of the movement 3) a few local therapists attempted to cancel me for refusing to join a movement that wanted to strip parents of their rights in the name of "love" 4) I researched the history of the transmovement and learned it has always been based on normalizing pedophilia. The sexualization/sterilization of children for the pleasure of adults was always the goal.

When I was a kid, my mom used to get me @stouffers French bread pizza as a treat. So for nostalgia's sake, I grabbed one the other day. Good god, Stouffers! What's happened to you? I mean, besides shrinkage.

@BladeJaggart @Average_NY_Guy And they drink our blood too!

@Average_NY_Guy The worst landlords in New York outside of NYCHA are Jewish. Everyone hates working for the Jews on the East Coast. You can't shop in the Jewish neighborhoods because they double and triple park their cars blocking the road for 6-10 blocks at all times.

It’s pretty easy to disprove this Portuguese-American Tyler guy’s claims about Orthodox Jews. Go to Brooklyn, walk around Flatbush, Greenpoint and Bushwick, and talk to random people. You’ll bump into someone every other minute who will tell you they have an Orthodox Jewish landlord, work for a Jewish-owned Amazon business, or shop at an Orthodox Jewish store. There are massive business expos like OJBA and Satmar events every year in NY, with hundreds of Jewish businesses and thousands of attendees. They are overwhelmingly Orthodox. But the real point here isn’t about truth or honesty. As you can clearly see, the guy didn’t bring a single receipt. He just walks around asking people questions, while many aren’t willing to engage, especially once everyone already knows this is what he does for a living. That isn’t evidence. He doesn’t present receipts showing welfare abuse or fraud. He just says what he thinks and imagines, then expects everyone else to bend over and help him rack up views.

@lyndseyfifield @TaylorHathorn One time I had a question about using my Speed Queen so I called the support number. A clearly us-based representative who was familiar with the workings of the machine understood my question and gave me a clear answer.

@lyndseyfifield @TaylorHathorn 5 years ago I needed to buy a washing machine. I asked a appliance technician which are both the best. He told me get a Speed Queen because they use more metal and less plastic .

Our deep freezer full of meat and food just went out. We bought it in 2021. I have friends coming to take whatever they can before it is all wasted. Called the 1800 number and a barely-understandable representative very politely told me we are out of warranty and there are no technicians who can fix it. My parents had the same deep freezer for 40 years. In the last 5 years we’ve replaced our <5 year old washing machine, two vacuums, garbage disposal… Our dishwasher probably needs replacing soon. I’m just so tired of this. I WANT to “buy once cry once” as I was raised—to invest in well made things built to last. Where the actual hell are they?

@Rk16454 $FGL has debts in excess of $20 million, so it's actually negative cash. Price Target $0.50

$FGL. According to dilution tracker they are sitting on 15 million in cash with a 420,000 authorized shares. That's cash on hand of 35 a share and it's sitting at 10.80

@1Amerpat @SatoriVerdure @handre Toilets that use 1/2 as much water per flush, but it doesn't actually work you have to flush it four times at least

@SatoriVerdure @handre Yup, Fridge lasted 6 months before repairs were needed.

Cash for Clunkers perfectly exemplifies the broken window fallacy in action. The government spent $3 billion to destroy 690,000 perfectly functional vehicles, claiming this would "stimulate" the economy by forcing people to buy new cars. What they actually did was obliterate billions of dollars worth of working capital that could have served lower-income families for years to come. The program artificially inflated new car sales by cannibalizing future demand and destroying the used car market. Those "clunkers" weren't junk—they were reliable transportation that mechanics could have maintained, parts suppliers could have serviced, and budget-conscious buyers could have afforded. Instead, bureaucrats decided to crush them into scrap metal to create the illusion of economic activity. This wasn't stimulus—it was capital destruction on a massive scale. Real economic growth comes from saving, investment, and the accumulation of productive assets, not from government programs that literally destroy wealth to generate temporary sales spikes. The program made cars more expensive for everyone while making transportation less accessible for those who needed it most. Every crushed engine block represented resources that could have continued serving society productively. True prosperity emerges when we preserve and efficiently allocate capital, not when we celebrate its destruction as economic policy.
