For all the one’s asking about options y’all should check out trading view paper trading. Create an account and start with $100k Monopoly money to trade with. You can make fake trades using real time market data. I just started trying my hand at options there the last week or so. Might be better to learn there than gambling with real dollars, is for me at least

Yes. Should scare the shite out of everyone with a brain

Anyone here have experiences with a herniated disc? Mainly curious about what your daily pain level is and how you manage it because sleep has been nearly impossible lately

Long story short, I'm 32 and hurt my back before easter, laid off physical activity for a couple weeks, then felt a pop in my lower back the next time at the gym. That was followed by intense pain and sciatica symptoms ever since. Tried chiro briefly, followed by dr and 8 weeks of pt, which brought the pain down to around a constant 3/10. Went to an ortho today who looked at the x-rays and said it looks like a herniated disc based on spacing between the discs, so i scheduled a mri for Wednesday to confirm. I'm hoping like hell I won't need surgery but man i'm going crazy from the pain. it just doesn't stop

I saw an interesting twitter thread a while back about the radicalization of higher education. I wish I could remember whose thread it was and exact details but it was too long ago

But basically it was about a professor in 80s or 90s I think who saw academics teaching classes about radical ideas and said “it’s fine, this is a place of learning and discussing ideas” (or something to that effect) and thought it would be contained to universities. Think classes in the liberal arts about things like gender studies, etc. and the idea was that it was all theoretical and these people would fill an academic role after graduating.

Well fast forward and you have more people going to college and taking these courses than there were positions within universities for these people to fill. So they began spilling over into the real world, not just the academic one, bringing their ideas with them. That’s partially to blame for the radicalization of education in general I think

Not sure what the other replies say but I just wanted to go ahead and call you a rucking retard for being a fricking retard

Are y’all familiar with the term “stochastic terrorism”? I was not until I came across a twitter thread by James Lindsay today (yes I’ve brought his work to this board multiple times before but I think he’s brilliant).

I will post a link to his Twitter thread and the substack article he references at the bottom of this. But stochastic terrorism can be summed up in the pic below (screenshot from a quote in the article):



Lindsay is stating that tRegime is using rhetoric (and drag shows and whatnot) to incite violence against the LGBT community as a means to stop Elon and regain control of twitter and the narrative - and I’m sure other nefarious means.

I think a lot of posters on this board are generally aware that they are using rhetoric to incite violence, but I wasn’t aware there was a term for it. The substack article is a long read, but a good one. It goes into detail about the history of the term and the game the communists play with their rhetoric. It seems to me that this is how they can get away with calling Antifa just an idea - they incite violence through their rhetoric but it is not a clearly defined organization.

Just wanted to bring further enlightenment on this subject to anyone unaware of it.

Here is a link to his thread:

I’d argue he’s just a great American
