| masterplum 03/11/21 11:12:58 AM #334 | I also made a big mistake with my RKT box, but that one was a more reasonable mistake where I boxed the wrong price. Im still mildly optimistic that position will come back and Im still basically holding the position while rolling out the legs every week --- |

Honestly I got greedy and i tried to buy into hype. The exact type of business didnt matter. It was a good lesson. I dumped it for a big loss a few days ago --- |

| masterplum 03/10/21 12:12:52 PM #205 | ChaosTonyV4 posted... How many Republicans would you vote for over Joe Biden? Me voting libertarian as a show vote over the democrat which is exactly what I did in 2016 still nets you -1 vote. Based on polling Ive seen, Id estimate around 5-10% of the current Democratic Party is former disgruntled conservatives. You cant lose that slice of the pie and still win. The margins were too close --- |

| masterplum 03/10/21 12:01:24 PM #239 | Sunroof isn't wrong. Ive also toyed with the idea. The problem being that oftentimes the thing causing the stock going up is volume related, so even if you did know its not certain you could just put infinite money into it which probably stops hedge funds from really going all in. --- |

| masterplum 03/09/21 11:08:55 PM #182 | Not_an_Owl posted... Sure was fun living through the novel experience of Democrats controlling literally anything! Can't wait for the next decade of Republican electoral dominance. This is assuming Republicans will storm back, which with the current political landscape I dont know if that is necessarily likely. Its a dangerous game, but also why I think DC statehood is the only major policy change they should go for even if the flilibuster was gone. You dont want republicans to become enraged, swoop in and destroy the country which is a legitimate possibility if you turn off independents. If you can create Medicare for all with a 50 vote majority you can destroy it with a 50 vote majority. Demographics are on your side as the country gets less white. --- |

I think the current Republican party is a minority fueled by intense hatred, and if the fervor wears off people are going to fall off by the truckload.

| masterplum 03/09/21 6:20:58 AM #77 | fuming posted... the example of "dictator bernie sanders" is a bit ridiculous though because Bernie Sanders would never want to be a dictator. I think a lot of the reason people in this topic have spoken positively about "dictator Bernie Sanders" is that they don't think he is the power hungry type, so they feel more comfortable with him in the role than someone who would be. Which is my point exactly. I think the difference in my politics versus most of the board is I read DICTATOR berniesanders while others read dictator BERNIESANDERS --- |

| masterplum 03/09/21 6:02:19 AM #75 | red13n posted... ahhh yes the hypocrisy. Many people have been screwed over by unions that protected older lazy employees over themselves. Its not the standard case, but thats not the point. Its the potential for abuse. which ties back to why Dictator Bernie Sanders is so abhorrent to me. Do I think a dictator Bernie Sanders would actually be that bad? Eh... not really. The problem is the government structure that would be set up to enable a dictator Bernie to exist would also let a dictator Donald or a Dictator MTG to exist. You dont just get to depose of dictators you dont like, otherwise they wouldnt be dictators. --- |

If you don't trust people in power to take care of others I've got a great book for you to check out about how we can create a classless, stateless, moneyless society Communism is honestly interesting in theory, but the amount of political power required to enforce it Im convinced is just entirely corrosive. I dont think its happenstance every communist government turned into a dictatorship. The frame work for a dictatorship is already set up. All you need is one leader who wants it to be one --- |

| masterplum 03/08/21 10:54:56 PM #65 | DoomTheGyarados posted... WELL I guess you don't get much of an argument from me. Although I don't know how you are conservative if you want to help other countries this much and want open borders. Are you sure you aren't really far left and just hit your head and forgot half of it? Pragmatic libertarian is what I would honestly describe myself as. Im libertarian in the the most literal sense, I dont trust people with power to take care of others. That includes Billionaires and corporations, but also governments and Unions. My two biggest voting issues are prison reform and ending protectionist trade policies. It generally ends with me getting in arguments with everyone. --- |

| masterplum 03/08/21 10:47:07 PM #62 | I think you conflate Conservative with Republican the same way I conflate liberal with Democrat. I am definitely not a Republican. I dont find the need to comment on Ted Cruz because hes an asshole and I dont have anything to add to that conversation --- |
| Topic | Politics Containment Topic 368: Stimulating the American People |
| masterplum 03/08/21 10:38:01 PM #57 | I appreciate your thorough articulation of progressiveness. I see what you are saying. In terms of righteousness, I think the error you are making is you are (possibly implicitly) assuming people who are more conservative than you like starvation and people dying from lack of medical care which isnt true at all. I dont want people to starve to death. I just dont think people starving in South Sudan is any more honorable than people starving in America. You do. There is no correct opinion out of those. --- |

It may have been when you learned what the NO True Scotsman Fallacy was and decided to misuse it a lot. Or when you don't address policy and say empty pathetic platitudes while your fellow humans suffer and die in the name of austerity idk It seems part of your tenseness stems from you thinking your line of thinking is more righteous than mine, which if true is an extremely dangerous path you really dont want to go down. Having said that Ill try to reduce my unnecessary quips --- |

| masterplum 03/08/21 10:09:20 PM #7 | Based on the comments I was expecting it to be a near clone, but that looked radically different from undertale in terms of gameplay. Seems kind of interesting, though Im not sure any game can do the meta game thing any more after undertale did it. Flowy force closing my game was a jarring experience that just cant be replicated ever again afterwards for example. I remember Pony Island tried it and I kind of rolled my eyes --- |

Still have a few radically out of the money options that I'm holding on to in case it bounces back but I'm down to practically nothing. Turns out selling options at the peak is a bad strategy.

| masterplum 03/07/21 6:11:50 PM #482 | ChaosTonyV4 posted... How is it a waste of time though, really? On one hand you can stall (and waste time) just by deciding it, on the other you actually have to DO something to waste that time. I think you are going to get some filibusters that start and eventually break down, so all of congress will be held hostage for days on end. I dont think thats a bad enough reason to not follow the manchin plan, but I think its a legitimate downside --- |

| masterplum 03/07/21 4:42:04 PM #50 | There are subreddits for EVERYTHING The college football sub is fantastic. The story subs are entertaining, every once in a while you find absurdly specific subs like OSHA Violations or We Want Plates and it gives you an hour of scrolling through top posts of all time. --- |

| masterplum 03/07/21 4:38:02 PM #431 | mnkboy907 posted... She was going to get in whether they unlocked the door or not. If anything, denying her access was much more likely to result in her using her powers, and since she'd then be pissed off, she'd also be more likely to flat out take his body with her. Didnt the Sword guy say she stole the body, which turned out to be a complete lie? --- |
| Topic | Did you like the tv show The Big Bang Theory? |
| masterplum 03/07/21 4:36:50 PM #4 | I think its one of the most overhated show of all time. The first few seasons were decent, and after that it was kind of generic sitcom. It gets bonus points for being the thing internet losers went out of their way to hate before the Last Jedi and the Last of Us 2 existed. --- |
| Topic | Wandavision 2: MCU Boogaloo |
| masterplum 03/07/21 4:31:17 PM #429 | Maybe Im giving Marvel too much credit? They usually are exceptionally good at tying plot together, so I have to assume Sword buzzing her in and showing her Visions body for no reason whatsoever was due to an evil plan and not one of the stupidest government actions of all time. I would have to rewatch the scene, but if the goal was to not make her go crazy they made the wrong choice like 8 times in a row. --- |
| Topic | Politics Containment Topic 367: Cuomophobic |
| masterplum 03/07/21 4:05:23 PM #478 | I think politics is so easy to get to, a free forum of Republican nonsense isn't any more exciting than normal nonsense and filibustering is going to be a net zero in terms of firing up supporters I think the real downside is that it is a gigantic waste of time, which I have no idea what the result would be, but could be bad in government shutdown situations --- |
