  • All i thought reading this was, “Im super Hungary. I should do some cocaine to get rid of my hungar.”

    Prolly outdated sentiment, haven’t checked crypto prices in prolly over a year. For all I know it could be more stable than the actual market and they solved the issues they were having with monster wallets pumping and dumping. So im not here to give any advice or comment on your decision but I will give you my experience in kinda similar situation.

    I found that that the amount of work you will need to put in learning enough about crypto trading, asset managment, trading strategies and anything else it will take to turn enough of a profit to make it worth it, you will prolly in hindsight think, “it woulda been more efficient getting a second job and investing the paycheck.”

    Like I said, never fucked with crypto but I did go through a 3-5 year phase of being balls deep in day trading and trading options contracts. Lost about $10,000 in the first 3 months I gave it a try before I ever saw a single penny and still dont think I ever made the initial lost money back despite hitting big a bunch of times. Including but not limited to the gamestop explosion, the AMC shorting among other meme stock swings.


  • Id say every living president other than Obama has a record of supporting more deportations than Trump! Google says there were 17,000 deportations made last month which if expanded out to 48 months to cover his whole presidential term would give an estimated total of 800,000. Not sure what im missing here that is giving such a mismatch of totals but he is some how on pace for the least amount of deportations during any presidential term since before Reagan.


  • Not really a hobby but I do hunt, so I find myself rolling my eyes when I hear 18 or more shots out of a pistol, 9 or more shots out of a shotgun and 31 ot more shots out of a semi-auto rifle with a pistol grips. The other eye roll is the unnecessary cocking and re-cocking of the shotgun without ever firing a round. If everything in the show Archer is true, then I may be on the spectrum lol. Except there’s no fucking way I could dual focus counting rounds while shooting any gun even itmf its at the range and noone is shooting at me. Movie/tv tho im counting every one.




  • It could just be karma whores expanding to other platforms than reddit. Idk if it’s still a thing but there was a time on reddit where people would steal posts, repost old top posts and aquire as much karma as they can on new accounts. Then sell the username to shills so they can push their agenda without looking like an obviously belligerent shill. They might try the same approach on lemmy before realizing karma doesn’t mean shit here which is where you see them deleting their accounts.

    While possible I do think it’s a stretch, I also think it would be completely inefficient to try and train any LLM by feeding it data from lemmy. I wanna say the average number of active users on lemmy at any point is around 40,000. Compared to what google says reddit’s avg daily active users which is 52,200,000 users per day, it would seem like a complete waste of resources.







  • Not OP but I’ll leave this comment on their behalf, why does that change what OP was asking? They didn’t ask if one cause the other just if one thing could lead to another. Wouldn’t one symptom like a market crash happening first, then be followed by the other symptom being the ww3 still qualify under OP’s question? Regardless if they share the same cause. Or am I looking at it wrong?

    To elaborate on my rake of the question: The genocide of jews by Germany caused ww2. A symptom was the active engagement in the pacific, aka pearl harbor, which had the symptom of the US joining the war in full force.

    The tariffs in the eyes of the markets is no different than the grand opening of rhe covid pandemic. Tons of uncertainties, tons of money moving around, all causing markets to crash or semi-crash like they are now.

    *Quick side bar of my own oppinion, I don’t think they’ve dropped enough to meet the criteria to be considered a crash but I could be wrong. I’ll google it and edit accordingly if im wrong tho. Personally I know the tariffs are idiotic but anyone calling doomsday or market crash over a 3 month drop accross the board shouldnt be wasting money investing their own money and should leave it up to professionals.

    Regardless of which idiot is at the reigns, what catastrophe is happening, if you looking at your investments every three months, you are not investing you are gambling. The entire financial institution as an industry is going to make fuck you money off this dip. It’s literally why it’s dipping, it’s call mitigating losses by rolling your investments according to their capital gains tax priority. Every financial firm right now is selling on Monday and buying the same fucking stock back at a cheaper price and at a higher volume. They’ll continue losing money but at a lesser rate of loss with higher intrinsic value because they’re bulking their portfolio at the same time.

    I barely know dick about investing but I know enough to say market movement does not need an economic movement to follow. We can have sorting inflation, rising cost of living, annual raise %'s less than the % of inflation and at the same time the markets could be soring. It’s literally been happening to the nasdaq big tech industry which is large enough to prop the markets thru whatever rhe economy throws at it.

    The pandemic was a fuckin crash. That shit was fuckin wild. And still i wanna say it was back to hitting ATH’s by the end of Bidens 1st year.

    Its because markets not giving a fuck about any country’s economic wellbeing, who is in office, and especially because it sure as shit doesn’t give a fuck about any individual investor are all parts of why I don’t think the current state of the markets will lead to any radical military action from any country.

    My tldr of my answer to the og original OP’s question is:

    1. Markets not giving a fuck about any country’s economic wellbeing, who is in office, and especially because it sure as shit doesn’t give a fuck about any individual investor are not opinions they are well documented statements of fact. All the individual investors in the word no longer hold enough market share to influence what the markets do anymore, markets are unaffected by who was elected president and my citation is to ask any financial advisor, and we just saw that the economy can go to the shitter but markets didn’t move till the variable of tariffs were introduced.

    2. A global scale war can only happen when there are enough solder committed to the fight. That’s just my opinion. You can implement as many drafts as you want but until the solders have reason for themselves to fight you’ll only end up with shit like Vietnam, Iraq, and Ukraine. All wars but all without any drive for the soldiers to fight for. It’s because of my first point that I don’t think what the markets do will affect people’s mind set enough to charge the beaches of Normandy.

    3. The nail in the coffin for the market dropping causing war is the fact that the quality of everyday life hasn’t gotten so bad that they would be willing to risk their life yet. Sounds morbid to say but now that we’ve seen the markets have detached from its dependency of economic growth or needing joeshmoe to invest in shit to keep the markets up I feel confident in my opinion.

    Plus, who in the flying fuckwants to fight in a war when they can juat fight anonymously on the internet?loljkjk

    Edit: stupid fucking ai autocorrect apparently likes to correct the proper spelling of soldiers to solder🙄 Fuck it I’m leaving it lol
