More than 150 Polymarket wallets may have traded on military secrets. (This...is bad....)
Posted by Eurocat on 8/20/26 at 2:59 pm
By Douglas Gillison WASHINGTON, Aug 20 (Reuters) - More than 150 wallets on Polymarket International may have traded on inside U.S. military information, attracting copycat bets and raising concerns that the market could broadcast signals exploitable by foreign adversaries, according to research published on Thursday.
The analysis by the nonprofit research group Anti-Corruption Data Collective, first reported by Reuters, sheds new light on likely military insider trading on the prediction market and the broader risks such activity may pose.
It comes as policymakers increase scrutiny of the booming industry following bets ahead of U.S. military actions, including that of a U.S. soldier charged in April with using classified information to bet on the removal in January of Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro, which lawmakers have said could hurt national security.
Spokespeople for Polymarket, which was founded in 2020, did not respond to requests for comment. Polymarket says it has strict controls, closely monitors for suspicious activity and has referred dozens of trader wallets to the authorities, including the Maduro case.
Polymarket's international platform settles trades on a blockchain, meaning wagers are public, although traders remain anonymous. ACDC analyzed all settled markets through May 5 to identify "long-shot" bets, which it defines as wagers of at least $2,500 placed cumulatively in an hour or less on an outcome with odds of 35% or less.
Within that universe, ACDC found 556 wallets it dubbed "Orcas," a nod to the killer whale's precise and selective hunting tactics. These traders typically opened an account and quickly placed a highly successful long-shot bet in niche markets where insiders may have an informational edge, before in many cases cashing out and disappearing.
Of those, there were 152 exceptionally successful wallets that bet on military and defense markets, making $8 million collectively, with an average win rate of 97.2%.

Does Lindell say his companies do not use electronics, are they Amish?

The criminal alien issue has become so “politically toxic” and “costly” that Democrat Governors have given the green light to Sheriffs and Police Chiefs in major blue cities to drop their illegals off with undercover ICE for removal.
Point one - I honestly hope this is true.
Point two - I doubt it is true (but I hope I am wrong).

Trump accounces economic "D Day" against Iran
Posted by Eurocat on 8/20/26 at 1:41 am

President Donald Trump has said the US will inflict "TREMENDOUS Economic Consequences" on any country that helps or does business with Iran.
He wrote in all capital letters on Truth Social that he was launching "the most crushing economic operation ever taken against any country!" He gave no further details, and did not name any other nation.
It comes after a 60-day ceasefire with Iran expired on Monday, with no sign of a diplomatic or military off-ramp to the conflict that the US and Israel began at the end of February.
Trump's latest move appears to extend the pressure campaign of Operation Economic Fury, launched in April to sanction foreign banks or firms that do business with Tehran.
In Wednesday evening's social media post, Trump said he was launching "economic D-Day" on Iran because the Islamic Republic had failed to make a deal with the US.

This is four months old news, what has happened since then? Any court rulings?
Tell him he is not an alcoholic.
He just has an allergy to alcohol. No shame there. I have an allergy to seafood (so I can never visit y'all in Louisiana! LOL).
Kidding aside, tell him he has an allergy. 90 percent of people have them, foods, nuts, pollen, bee stings. His is ethanol.
I can't eat shrimp he can't drink beer, it's nothing to be shy about or ashamed of.

I think that is a comedian named Becky Robinson who does Becky From Marketing.

Could I be wrong, yes I could be wrong. But if you look very closely the filmed person is actually in control of her actions unlike drug or alcohol addict, I don't see her slashing her wrists or knifing somone. It is exceedingly difficult to get that loss of control down for an actor, even Sasha Cohen (Borat, others) never really nailed that.
But maybe I am wrong.

Found out that a friend had a kid who was aggressive while very young
Posted by Eurocat on 8/19/26 at 2:54 am
As in at age seven they started him in some therapies, psychologists. As a teen he was sent away to the famous school "Boys Town". Now ten years later the kid is a college grad and himself a counsellor.
Can somone "grow out" of this kind of youth aggression or it just a matter of time that he snaps?
Is there a reason I ask? Nope. Just curious.
Parents are happy, the kid (now adult) is settled in, I am honestly curious because when watching tv shows like Law and Order it seems like "they are just patiently waiting for a time to strike" or is that BS?

Have a family member in her mid 30s and has recently developed severe anxiety and depression about her state of affairs. She sidelined prioritizing family life to be hyper focused on her career, earning, and climbing the ladder. She has recently expressed a desire to meet someone, get married, have kids, etc. However, her prospects are incredibly slim. She is very upfront about not wanting to have step kids, and all the single guys she finds attractive in her age range and her perceived “status” are not interested and focusing their attention on younger, better looking women with more child bearing years ahead of them. She is also is bewildered why guys don’t seem interested in her 6 figure salary and nice condo over looking the city. Some guy she was seeing ended up moving on to a younger girl that worked as a bank teller part time, and she was confused.
I knew two women like that too, both deeply regret being so job centered.
