🚨 THIS IS NOT GOOD
In the past 30 minutes:
Gold: -6.35%
Silver: -8.21%
$4.5 TRILLION wiped out.
We’ve NEVER seen this in modern market history.
The “safe haven” narrative is collapsing.
This is when markets lose control.
Here’s what’s actually happening right now:
More wealth erased in minutes than the yearly GDP of nearly every country on Earth.
We’ve now entered the FORCED LIQUIDATION STAGE.
This is what a true liquidity vacuum looks like.
Funds are getting margin-called.
They’re dumping the last assets with any value just to stay afloat.
Don’t be the one handing them your wealth.
I’ve spent over 10 years in finance.
And when I fully EXIT the markets, I’ll say it here.
Follow and turn on notifications before it's too late.
Vegan: "Our teeth are just like chimpanzees. Frugivores. Meant for fruit and plants."
Right. A few things.
First: chimpanzees eat meat. They hunt colobus monkeys in organised group raids. They fight over the carcass. They eat the brain first.
Second: chimpanzee teeth are larger than ours: bigger canines, bigger molars, because chimpanzees process tough raw vegetation with their face. We stopped needing to do that when we invented tools.
Third: your teeth are not your primary food processing equipment. Your hands are. A knife is. Fire is.
A beaver's teeth can fell a tree. A human with an axe fells it faster and doesn't need the teeth at all.
The entire teeth argument assumes that the body part you use to eat food is also the body part that defines your diet. That logic doesn't survive contact with a chimpanzee holding a dead monkey, let alone a human holding a flint scraper from 2.6 million years ago.
Our teeth got smaller because our tools got sharper.
The diet didn't change. The equipment did.
"But the flat molars..."
Are you doing the flat molars thing again.
@VPsnack@Dr_TheHistories “Using his credentials”
FWIW, she met Pierre Curie in 1894 while she was a student/researcher at the Sorbonne (University of Paris), where she had independently earned top degrees: first in her physics licence in 1893 and second in mathematics in 1894.
When Curie died in 1934 from aplastic anemia, almost certainly caused by years of unprotected exposure to radium and polonium, scientists already understood that her notebooks, lab equipment, and even her cookbooks were dangerously contaminated.
What’s astonishing is that her body, too, remains measurably radioactive nearly a century later. When she and Pierre Curie were reinterred in the Panthéon in 1995, France’s highest honor for national heroes, engineers had to line her sarcophagus with thick lead to shield visitors from lingering radiation.
Anyone who wants to study her original papers today must sign a waiver and wear protective gear. Her tomb isn’t just a memorial, it’s a physical reminder of the invisible forces she helped uncover and the personal cost of pioneering a new scientific frontier.
Marie Curie was the first woman to be entombed in the Panthéon on her own merits, not as someone’s spouse. Her presence there signals France’s recognition that intellectual achievement can be as nation‑defining as political or military power.
The stark, almost monastic stone chamber where she rests contrasts sharply with the grandeur above, underscoring how her life was shaped by discipline, sacrifice, and relentless curiosity rather than public spectacle.
The lead-lined tomb, the subdued lighting, and the quiet austerity all reinforce a paradox: Curie unlocked some of the most dangerous forces in nature, yet she lived with extraordinary humility. Standing before her tomb, visitors confront both the brilliance and the fragility of a life spent pushing the boundaries of the unknown.

Feminism told women we can do everything men can. That’s a lie. There are high impact, heavy labor trades I’m not built for.
Luckily tile isn’t one of them. Women have been helping in the trades for a long time, I don't need you to label me a feminist to be proud of my work.
@Sayitpop 17% of Gross income, but remember you still pay the taxes, so it is closer to 25%.
You make 60k, $15000 goes to support one child. The custodial parents income doesn't matter.
With OT, bank interest, court gives 25% of that too. If you lose OT, too bad, you pay
Dude says he has to work 60+ hours per week just to survive after paying $1,521.65 in child support to his baby’s mother. He says she gets the money automatically before it even reaches his bank account
@Sayitpop If you were married, and she decided to "find her true self" you are on the hook with child support.
For 1 child in my state 17% of Gross income.
@MadelaineLucyH I work in proximity to many female "educators". They are either stand offish, or mildly friendly.
But, they talk to the janitor, and complain they can't meet anyone.
I don't date at work. Keep your job.
Ok let’s explore the “She Rejected Me Because I’m Nice” myth.
This is Janine, you work with her.
She’s fine: a solid fine. Not unbelievably pretty, not hideous, just fine. Could easily work at any Walmart.
Janine is nice to you. You’re nice to Janine, because you have no reason not to be. Why would you be horrible? You joke around, make small talk at the office printer. You don’t fancy her and it never crossed your mind.
One day, Janine asks if you want to get coffee at lunch. You say yes, because she’s never shown any romantic interest in you and it’s not that kind of bond.
At the cafe, Janine looks at you and strokes your hand and goes “I really see this going somewhere, like forever.” You aren’t feeling it. She gets upset and accuses you of only liking bad girls.
Have you rejected Janine because she’s “too nice?”
“My paycheck goes straight to rent — and there’s nothing left.”
Ten years of higher education. A “good” job. No splurges. No safety net.
Still dead broke after rent.
“I paid rent this morning. I have $47 left. This is what ‘doing everything right’ gets you.”
@BDCryptoGuru Obviously, this is a rhetorical question since you are pro-crypto and you're attempting to inverterly spread FUD.
Gold is covering margin calls. It is doing exactly what it is intended to do, store of wealth....until needed
I am not a tech guy but how is it possible that a largest asset like GOLD drops from $5,500 to $4,500 in 21 days since war started?
Everyone basically decided together to sell?
Futures, spot, ETFs, miners all dumping together?
There are too many questions and not enough answers.
lore drop: i once told a guy at a farmer’s market his flute playing was very andre 3000–esque
he said “that’s good, i am andre 3000”
we chatted for a bit, then he drifted off playing the flute. no one else around knew who he was
compliment people, you never know where it may lead
