monomania is a prerequisite to success (not investment advice. thoughts are my own)

I started logging calls and sending demand letters for TCPA violations (I have been on the DNC list for 14 years).
First time I did this, the company paid me $1500 and this year another company's legal counsel "called my bluff" so I filed suit, settling weeks later for $7500.
Many are hard to track down, using virtual mailboxes and registered agents, etc - but there are ways to find them.
These dirtbags must pay.

Approximately 36 calls every day offering me unsecured personal loans. How do I make it stop?

@chudologist @nequalonetrader oh interesting, I must be confusing it with restrictions about shorting company stock in that case.
English
@jonlinked @nequalonetrader Many companies allow this. Many companies even provide derivatives as compensation.

Same setup as yahoo shares in dotcom fwiw

you are (lucky enough to be) a top 10 holder of $SNDK ... you can implement a zero cost collar out to Dec'28 and hedge all but 10% of the downside but retain up to 100% of the upside from here. that is, you can buy a put that is 10% out of the money and finance it by selling a call that is double the current stock price. do you do it? this is a theoretical pricing exercise, but it's not going to be that far off. the trade capitalizes on 3 factors, all of which go your way. 1) interest rates and (lack of) dividends 2) the incredibly high level of implied volatility on these options 3) the very small differential between the vol on the put you'd buy versus call you'd sell check out the video I did on this "Cuban's Collar is Jensen's Alpha" to learn more about the economics of zero cost collars youtube.com/watch?v=CMREJb…

@gioblaze0069 I've seen people accidentally do this and you either get your ad account disabled until you pay or permabanned from advertising.
I imagine they'd sue if the amount was large enough + not paid for long enough.

@RobertFreundLaw you can find reports of it on reddit and here, people just use whoever they're paired with from Legal Shield from what I've seen.

@jonlinked Never worked in my experience or for any other lawyers that I’ve spoken with. I’d love to know who those lawyers are so I can connect with them.

As predicted, the Tates' lawsuit against Meta for terminating their accounts has failed.
These account termination/suspension cases never work.
The record on these cases for plaintiffs is something like 0-80.
There are only two exceptions I'm aware of: one default, and one involving a separate contract between the parties.
I would never recommend suing a social media company for terminating an account on facts like this, and I certainly would not pay a lawyer to try.
Rob Freund@RobertFreundLaw
Andrew Tate is suing Meta for terminating his account, because he’s an idiot who doesn’t understand that this case has zero chance of success.

@BowTiedTikTok are you using it through a proxy/vpn? and has the device you're using it on ever had other accounts banned from IG or FB?

Can someone explain what i possibly did to instagram to prompt multiple permanent suspensions
random restriction on my bday

tf am i doing wrong

@mahasr199 it's borderline impossible to get allocation into the really desirable funds without a massive investment or deep personal connections in those scenes unfortunately
English
Yup and (at least in my case) majorly underperformed index.
Matt Paulson@MediaKing
My biggest financial regret is investing in random PE and VC stuff $100K at a time. I now get 100 K-1 forms each year. It's a nightmare to manage at tax time.

@GoblinWizard420 @SlipMaker thank you, can't believe nobody else noticed this and just reddit gun safety'd out on this
English
@SlipMaker It’s not “good trigger discipline” if you’re actually about to shoot someone. They’re not at a gun range.
English
One of my favorite details in the show is the scene where everyone draws guns and all the characters have good trigger discipline EXCEPT the Gemstones
Slip Maker@SlipMaker
I think I’m gonna do The Righteous Gemstones next. I was going to do the Danny McBride HBO trilogy (Eastbound, Vice Principals, Gemstones) front to back sort of as a bit, but honestly I’m the most excited about Righteous Gemstones so let’s get right to it.

@TheSalonDon one could make a fairly simple argument that craigslist led to thousands of people in local journalism due to the death of classified ad revenue they received.
I think AOC's full of shit with her argument, but CL's success definitely had externalities associated
English
Hypothetically, if a guy made a classifieds website
Hired 3 people and paid them millions
Advertisers paid $100m per year
Investors valued the $100m revenue at 10x
Then that guy became a billionaire without breaking rules, abusing labor laws, or paying people less than they’re worth
Craig’s List is the only ethical company
Marco Foster@MarcoFoster_
AOC: “There’s a certain level of wealth and accumulation that is unearned. You can’t earn a billion dollars. You just can’t earn that. You can get market power, you can break rules, you can abuse labor laws, you can pay people less than what they’re worth, but you can’t earn that”

@amypretzel It comes in more colors. You can even print designs as well.
I have a dynema 2 person tent that weighs just over 1 pound and a dynema hot tent that accommodates a stovepipe and titanium wood burning stove, so it's not quite as delicate as it sounds around heat.
English
fun material of the day... dyneema! it's a special kind of plastic string. it looks soft and white, like a shoelace. but it's super duper strong. way stronger than metal! if you took a piece of steel and a piece of dyneema that weigh the same, the dyneema can hold 15 times more weight. that's why people use it for things that need to be light AND strong. like vests that stop bullets. and ropes on big sailboats. and gloves that knives can't cut through. but dyneema has rules. it only comes in white or gray. that's just how it is. if it gets too hot, like hotter than a cup of tea, it starts to melt. so no putting it near fire. if you hang something heavy on it for a long long time, it slowly stretches. like pulling taffy, but super slow. so it's an amazing material. you just have to be nice to it.

@zephyr_z9 post proof of buying around that time or else you're just making wild speculations that you don't personally have any conviction behind
English
It’s funny how this stuff goes in waves. It used to be you were favored for being “valedictorian sports team captain and newspaper EIC.” Then it was “started your own non profit.” Then “started a tech company.” Starting in the 2010s I guess it was “lead your own protest movement”
Tyler Austin Harper@Tyler_A_Harper
My periodic reminder that until 5 minutes ago all these elite universities championed their history of protest, bragged about it on campus tours, and explicitly advertised their institutions as activism hubs. Yet rather than engage in an ounce of self reflection, they blame kids.

@idledots @AlecStapp not for technically competent users, but imagine your median bureaucrat trying to debug driver issues in linux, or trying to use Wine to use online-only windows software.

@DeepDishEnjoyer isn't this basically how VC's that actually make money do it

Cardinal social rule is to never make someone feel like an idiot. Perpetually have to assume that everyone is deathly afraid of being perceived in this way. Preempt the interaction by letting them know that stupid questions don't exist. Briefly jest about how they're already in a better position compared to when you were in their shoes. Slip in an anecdote about something embarrassing that happened to you with a level of unreactive casualness that indirectly signals to their brain that it's safe to relax. Chuckle in response to any semblance of an amusing remark. Liberally administer daps when you start to notice them entering conversational flow state

@iBgassin @HardPass4 He was always a D-tier Atlanta rapper like 10 years ago was a Gucci mane, Young Thug orbiter not sure if you know the lore but @NoiseyMusic did a documentary on the ATL rap scene and basically incriminated all of them

I need this so bad lol

Some absolute gems the US Marshals are looking to offload over here lmao. Incredible.
