bloomberg publishes lovely articles like this where they take edge cases and then apply it to everyone as if its good advice. like: quote:For a while, Brian Harrington, 28, had been satisfied with a high-yield savings account at Ally Bank, earning a risk-free 2%. Now, the marketing consultant in Anaheim, California, is planning to convert his remaining $15,000 in savings into bitcoin. He thinks the future is one of long-term economic stagnation and low rates. this is just the kind of thing someone who is wildly ignorant about investing would do. this part is vague but apparently he was happy with $15,000 earning 2% per year, but now hes just taking the last of his available cash (outside of checking i presume) and shoving it into the riskiest asset possible? thats a huge flip that most people dont make ally bank (which this seems to also be an ad for) is offering 1% interest on deposits now. so his annual earnings went from $300 to $150 and now hes just jumping into the deep end of one of the riskiest assets he can possibly own? this is not sensible.

DryGoods posted:*the lanterns jerking to the rhythm of the waves crashing against the hull. water spraying softly through a seam with every hit. the dim light shining off the wet oilskin of a ragged sailor slowly making his way through the swaying crates. Lukas reaches into his pocket to rub the drawing of his family farm on the outskirts of Sigtuna. he will earn enough from this trip to finally bring his family across the sea. but he has hungers. and desires. and the other men have whispered about the mud-caked cargo. they stare down into their cups and say there must be something valuable in there to warrant such care in transport. Lukas slowly sweeps his sea-worn hand through the dirt covering the box. cold and crumbly. centipedes writhe everywhere at his touch. Lukas stumbles back, crashing into the crates of tinware and bolts of cloth. he shakes his head and stares at his muddy hand. the pounding in his head grows louder. Lukas raises his eyes and realizes the sound is coming from the crate. a lantern shifts with a wave and he sees it's not like the other cargo. long and neatly joined boards of wood as dark as the earth. this is a casket. the pounding grows louder. stronger. it fills the entire hold. fills Lukas' ears. pounding to the song of the sea just outside the hull. the lid creaks in sync with an impossibly loud bang. silence. Lukas' face is frozen in rictus. his cheeks drenched in tears from his unblinking eyes. a sickly green light slithers out of the crack. the lid rises silently and ends with a gentle thud. a great, lithe figure rises out of the green light. arms crossed. thin, curving, cracked fingernails spread across an ancient, decaying shroud. Lukas' eyes trace the labyrinthine patterns of the shock of white hair swaying in the green light. white hair flowing to a black void. a black void that lights up as two almond slits snap open. pale white with green veins meet Lukas' gaze* thank goodness this isnt about me. i would never offer a high yield savings account as an investment vehicle

i could never get drunk enough to be that excited about biden. on some level i think people dont realize that you can divorce enthusiasm for the candidate from enthusiasm for not having a GOD DAMNED CHEETOH in the white house ive finally been getting texts from the biden campaign after submitting my real name for outreach as a ~friend~ under an alias and i just tell them "I hate Biden and I'm not voting for president this year because I think he is awful. It's not my job to get enthusiastic for a terrible candidate." edit: whoa lol @ the new word filter

im still thinking about that bloomberg link someone posted earlier about how a dude with $15,000 in savings earning 2% thought the current 1% interest was too low so he just said gently caress it and put it all in bitcoin thats something ive learned on the job. clients read bloomberg articles and the standard structure for one is this: "Market conditions mean that people invested in (extreme edge case) are losing/at heightened risk/may stand to lose." "But experts say you should do the (normal thing like 98% of investors are doing)." "Maybe the answer is in the middle."

yo smythe ultima online ruled one time some guy tricked me into going to ~dragon island~ through a portal and he helped me kill a few dragons and then we went back to his ship. i thought i was going to get laid but then he was like "lol get hosed, newb" and he said he was gonna strand me on dragon island. i didnt have any magic skills so its not like i could port back but he said that before he did the command to roll back the gangplank to his ship and i was a melee build so i ran on and beat the poo poo out of him. he was trying to cast spells but i kept interrupting them with halberd blows to his face and then he disappeared because i think he logged out in shame because his plan backfired. then i somehow navigated a ship i had no key/deed to back to newbie island and sold it for a cool thousand gold that was like an average night in UO. good times. also as one of the first MMOs it didnt have a persistent server, so it would shut down from like 4 AM to 6 AM eastern time and once the server announced it was 15 minutes to shut down everything turned into The Purge and people would go off and start killing the gently caress out of each other because at that point nothing you did was saved. wizards would just let loose with fireballs and dudes in decked out armer would just go HAM with wakizashis on all new newbs gathered by the bank. game owned

i had the weirdest and most vivid dream a few nights ago where i had somehow wronged the devil and was put in the worst kind of hell. no matter what i did, this weirdly intelligent plane of existence turned all of my efforts back on me. i couldnt leave hell by being virtuous or strong because my efforts would have unintended consequences in the former and i would be crushed by fate in the latter but then in like satan's storage space a robot i owned came to life and it did an isaac aasimov style process of designing stronger and stronger versions of its processing core until it was powerful enough to control all of reality, and it invalidated hell and saved me. and as im flying out of hell after a million lifetimes of pain my robot god friend asks, "Do you want to punish the devil?" "Nah, let's go have fun lets test this poo poo out who cares about the devil anymore?"

reminder: jordan peterson is a former clinical pyschologist who studied addiction, and he doctor shopped until he got to russia becuase every doctor he met kept telling him his brilliant plan to sleep through benzo withdrawal by going cold turkey would turn him into a vegetable if it didnt kill him he died as every reactionary lived: telling everyone who wanted to help him to gently caress off until he found an amoral sociopath who would take his money
