Or this guy?

100%. I still enjoy reading Asimov and Heinlein despite them being bigots. I just don’t support the behavior and call it out for being bad when I see it.

You can also track aggregate up and down votes per user! You’re a solid +13 for me, you’re cool.

I jumped ship from .world to blahaj and it’s great. I have access to all of .world’s content, but can block the instance as needed.

Anecdotal evidence is worth less than nothing.

Or build up in the sewer with shit and grease. President Fatberg.

I felt my blood pressure spiking from just reading this. I’m glad you were okay!

You make a great point, I completely agree. While the Orange Bumblefuck absolutely engaged in market manipulation, profiting by acting on non-public information is at the heart of insider trading, which I’m certain his accomplices did.

Agreed, concision is perhaps one of the most useful skills I learned that I’m absolutely rubbish at applying.

I corrected my first paragraph - it’s not “privileged information” as information on illegal activities isn’t legally protected nor legitimate business.

It isn’t technically privileged information - that’s generally understood to mean confidential information that is legally protected so that it does not have to be given to the public. What we’re working with is information about the actions the manipulator is taking to illegally manipulate the market.

It’s called insider trading as the trading is being informed by someone on “the inside” who knows something about (typically) legitimate business, generally for one company or an industry, the general public does not. Examples are new developments, earnings results, impending lawsuits, etc.

Edit: it’s early, I bungled the first paragraph so it got a rewrite.

As a biologist, I’m always so happy with how versed your average Lemming is on evolution versus the bad place.

I have it, the hypermobile type (hEDS)

Upside: reduced likelihood of osteoarthritis

Downside: all the pain, doctors think you’re crazy

I bet they loved Iron Sky.

Hell yeah!

Look into Ehlers - Danlos Syndrome, a connective tissue disorder. Sufferers describe similar symptoms.

Garbage grifters.

Fucking hell, Mark Geier’s son? The brain worms did a number on RFK, that’s pure idiocy.

Dog, I think we’re way past that point.
