Edit: Y'all are taking this way too seriously

I don't mean it in the way of my mood becomes bad once I see red. I mean that on days where I happen to be having a bad day, I look at my account and see all red. Then on days where I happen to be doing well, somehow the market is too.

I started noticing this a month or two ago and paying attention. I don't think it is the fact that the market is doing poorly or well, dictating my mood. It really feels as if I'll have zero idea what the market is doing, sand still in my eyes, some crazy shit happens that pisses me off(I am only hooman).. Only to look at the app and go "oh great, a red day". Now, I do not hold too much attachment to how the market is doing and compartmentalize it. I could watch myself lose thousands in a day and it honestly doesn't phase me, I guess because of my convictions.. So I really don't think it is the market upsetting me or inversely making me happy. It is almost like my mood dictates the market. And if you'd like, I sell stock psychic plans guessing the best tickers 110% of the time for only $9999/month! Just kidding.

But really though, has anyone else ever noticed this? It is starting to weird me out as it is almost never not the case since I started paying attention to my mood's relation with wherever the market is that day

Edit: Please at least meet me where I am at here. There are only a couple of comments that actually had much benefit, and I appreciate those. The rest are upset because this is Reddit and what I am saying is more or less against the grain of the hivemind. I am not trying to upset you, I wanted to voice how I saw it, and evolve my point of view by either seeing supporting evidence, or conflicting evidence that I could then go learn from. But I do think that there is more at play in our politics than we have the capability to see, and some conspiracies do happen. Honestly, I am just a little resentful of our system, so emotions have a part in my thinking process with stuff like this, no doubt. I've realized from this thread that I need to understand how the democratic process works fundamentally, as well as the federal currency system, so I will try do that before having so much conviction. I am definitely not interested in believing in a bunch of nonsense, so all I can do is do my best to consider my own biases and look at it all objectively. I got carried away here a couple of times and apologize, I got upset at the way people scoff at this kind of discussion when it really is a matter of curiosity for me

Seriously. This idea is driving me crazy. If you claim you are a centrist, people get angry at you as if you must choose a side or are detracting/funneling votes from their side. If I choose the side of pro-choice, then suddenly I also have to support nonsensical immigration policies as well. If I am pro socialized medicine, then I also have to be supportive of the war in Ukraine. Even today, there is far less room for political nuance than there was when I was a kid in the early 2000s

I am 31 years old, which is a baby to some people and I totally understand that. But through my life I have watched as our liberties and positive life circumstances are stripped away, year after year, no matter who is in office. George W Bush was the president during 9/11 and by the end of his second term, the general consensus was 'no more unnecessary wars'. Obama came in, deported more immigrants than any other president combined, chemical weapons in Syria etc. We even had general Wesley Clark give a list of 7 countries we were going to invade circa 2007. The list has become 100% accurate, and Iran was the last on the list. My theory now, that I have held since a couple of years ago, was that Cuba was next after Iran. Why? Because they are not 'backed' by the federal reserve/not participating in IMF/international monetary created by the global elites, Iran was the other country that didn't participate. And look what is happening in front of our eyes. The only other notable country not participating in IMF is North Korea, and I am unsure if that will ever be occupied the same way we are attempting with Cuba and Iran.

My point is America is an Empire. America has goals, and will attempt to protect itself. Even the Greenland thing is not new, as we were attempting to buy Greenland since we purchased Alaska, and a few presidents have tried due to its geography for military and resource dominance. Do you all really think we have a choice? How many things have to happen for what has happened is obvious to every voter? The president only takes office for 4 years, and is has no 'need to know' for several important things. So who's controlling the country? It is the federal reserve, the bankers, the tech billionaires, pharma and insurance billionaires, gas giants, war hawks etc. Our political theater is just that, a show with its purpose being to communicate to us what they've already decided to do. And it has become abundantly clear in my opinion. Even things like Reddit serve as a political propaganda machine, despite it not starting out for that explicit purpose.

Anyone who was following the ball knows why Trump was elected, and I don't think we had a choice. It is an arc that started around 2016(the Trump arc definitely started way before that, but for simplicities sake, let's start with 2016 when doomscrolling became the norm and advertising revenue absorbed our streaming services and social media, because this is a clear tipping point politically as well). Bernie was on track to win, I was a Bernie supporter and excited that someone genuine was racing after I was pretty disappointed with Obama doing nothing that he said he would, and actually just strengthening the surveillance state/ neo-con agenda. We thought power changed hands then, from the evil war hawk neocons to the benevolent democrats who were going to make it all better. But nope, just more of the same. Unfortunately, our oligarchs couldn't allow Bernie to be president, it would mean they would have to stifle some of their corruption. So since the DNC and RNC are clearly both infiltrated, they kicked Bernie out, replaced him with Hillary, which led to Trump's presidency. It was even obvious back then that he would get elected because Hillary was so clearly the worst choice they could have made. I had thoughts of 'are they doing this on purpose? If they wanted Trump to lose they would have made different decisions but it seems like they wanted him to win".

Cue Trump presidency into 2020. Then Biden. It is so obvious why Biden was not liked. And then we had those terrible debates which secured Trumps presidency right then and there. They choose Kamala via non-democratic means. Again, any democrat who is paying attention and not being emotional against Trump, didn't think that was right, including me. I would have LOVED for the democrats to push a good candidate who I could get behind, that simply did not happen. No, despite all the theater and the entertaining show, Trump had already been chosen to win, it was the obvious choice. But it seemed like he was against this war profiteering nonsense, and would at least get one over on the elites that are clearly running the country. Well, PSYCHE! He is acting in lock-step with these assholes and clearly is there for that purpose. So everyone was bamboozled and we are right back where we were before, just more confused.

It gets me when people are emotional about what side they are on, because we have all been tricked and taken over by either an inner oligarchy of war hawks/billionaires, or foreign adversaries from within. And I don't think it is new. I think this has been the case since well before any of us were born. There are arguments as to when this started, but the people aligning with one wing of our government.. I know it is hard to accept being wrong, but all of us are wrong. Neither party is real, they are a means to divide us while the oligarchs laugh all the way to the bank. I think now we are so interconnected and have so much visibility that we are all waking up to it. This is bigger than right vs left, and if you are still stuck on right vs left well, I think that is pretty ignorant considering the evidence in front of us. We are tightly controlled, and headed towards a more blatant neo-feudalistic mode of society. It was always there, but now they can't hide it as well so it will become overt.

Change my view. If someone has some good arguments, and is educated on all of these things I am talking about, I truly value your opinion and please express it here. When I learn new information, I change my mind. But nobody has been able to convince me this isn't true, they only get offended and the actual point gets lost in the sauce. Our emotions and primal human instincts/behaviors are regularly being manipulated since before we were born, so I cannot blame people for having their emotional reactions. Just know that this is right where they want us. At the end of the day we have FAR more in common than we have differences. We all need to realize together that the old adage is correct, "If voting mattered, they wouldn't let us do it"

Sorry terrible title.. But anyways I always hear these stories. Like how you go to an open house and get the chills and it turned out the whole family was murdered who lived there. I hear that Gettysburg is like this as well, and it actually makes me want to go there. I just want to "feel" something that is tied to a distinguished place.

Aside from that, any experiences are welcome. I'd also like to hear about it if it is outside the US as I only mention the US so that I can have the means to travel to these weird places.

There is this trail by my house that is an 8 mile loop on the Missouri river with a 300ft bluff at its peak. I used to go there with my friends every single weekend for years, and all of us pretty much had strange paranormal experiences there. I fully believe that place has some form of significance. It doesn't happen every single time, but I have two stories myself and know at least 5 people with different stories, I have no reason to not believe them due to what I experienced myself! There must be a lot of places like this

The police say they cannot do anything unless we find the airtag, for the serial number I'd assume. Long story short, I used to be a drug addict and dated a woman who was actually a bad person as well as a drug addict, severely abusive mentally and physically, serial cheater. I unfortunately had a child with this person, and my mother took custody of my child before I got sober when she was 2, and we successfully got the mothers parental rights terminated later on and my mother/step father adopted her. I have now been sober 6 years and the ex in question is in prison for gun violence on the outside, and violence against guards and other inmates on the inside. Real piece of shit. Her family is as well, and have histories of jumping people, assaulting police, meth, people being paid to hurt their enemies, all of it.. My mom is a saint for taking all of this on, and I am with her and my daughter probably half of every week trying to be as present as possible. But at the end of the day we are terrified of this exes whole family, and they have actually tried to track me down and kill me before which is again, a long story.

She is at work now, but noticed the notification from her work to her house last night around 8pm. Says first seen yesterday at 7:38pm and last seen yesterday at 9:56pm. Will she receive another notification if it is still in the car? She will sweep when she is done working, and I've told her to go to "items" in the FindMy app to see if she can connect with it. Depending on how this goes I will just go to her house when I get off work and help her find it, an AirTag could be anywhere! However the people we are worried about already know where she lives, we know because every few months a meth head shows up to the door claiming they have gifts for my daughter and it is frankly terrifying. We cannot even get restraining orders until something actually happens with the specific individuals in questions instead of a goon of theirs. If this turns out to be them, then I suppose at least that is grounds for a restraining order. But then again does that really stop anybody?

Ugh.. I see these threads sometimes and it always happens to be a family member's purse, or someone in traffic coming from the same apartment complex during commute... But none of that tracks with this, my mom lives in a suburb and nobody was leaving at the same time, the only other person in her car was my grandma who wouldn't know what an AirTag was if it hit her in the face and said "I am an air tag". So what could it be? I am really hoping this is a glitch of some sort, the timing is impeccable as this is the day of my exes most recent court case where she will be given more time on top of the 7 years she was already given.. I might take this down later, but if anybody has any advice that would be wonderful, and thank you

I am sorry for the bad title. But okay so when I was in second grade I had the most amazing teacher. We will call her Ms. Smith. Ms. Smith truly saw me, and was dead set on getting me into the GATE. I was definitely the most gifted kid in the classroom, won every game easily, was obsessed with infinity, God, Aliens etc.. And was obsessed with China for some reason, dragons and those Temples with the red and black architecture, I'd draw these and aliens endlessly getting in trouble because of art class actually haha

But anyways, I do not want to toot my own horn here, I don't want to be egotistical but this experience was actually kind of traumatic. My teacher got me the test, and was so excited to tell my parents and tell me I will do great things or whatever. So the day comes, and the lady comes to give me my test, taking me out of the classroom down the hallway(to a small windowless room, nonetheless haha). I felt nervous, I really wanted to be in the program because a couple of kids I was friends with from the school's daycare service were in it and that was my friend group, I would've fit like a glove.

But as we are walking, I didn't even realize I was doing anything offensive. She stops us and makes this scene with me, grabbing me by the shoulder and saying "YOU NEED TO SLOW DOWN WHILE YOU ARE WALKING STOP WALKING AHEAD OF ME". Keep in mind I am a freaking second grader. So all the sudden my excitement went to fear, and fear of her and talking to her or opening up to her. She gives me the questions and I do not remember my answers(or the questions), however, I do recall not being able to articulate that well because now I was sort of scared of this lady. I am a very sensitive guy, always have been.

So I find out later that I failed, and it really left a mark on my personality. I felt like a failure and actually talk about this often in therapy because I underplayed this experience forever until I was an adult. Later I lost this teacher who was my only good teacher, and slowly fell in with the wrong crowd and became a drug addict later and a whole mess of a life(I have been sober for 6 years however now)..

Not only did she get mad at me for walking too fast. Later on, and this memory is blurry as well. But later on I was in a room with her and some other teacher and I have no clue why or how our paths crossed again. I recall her talking to this other teacher, who in my memory is a teachers assistant, and I am in earshot. This test lady knows I am in earshot and starts talking at her, but it was clearly directed towards me. She went on and on to this lady about how these tests were "EXPENSIVE" and "we don't like wasting all sorts of money on kids who are not going to pass", she was giving me a side eye during this and it was clearly meant for me to hear and feel guilty about.

I really wonder if anybody else has this same experience, or what it could mean. I definitely belonged there. When I got older I got really into lucid dreaming and astral projection etc.. And was pretty much a natural. I have always been obsessed with aliens and psychedelic experiences etc.. I am always wondering what could have been had I gotten accepted. Weirdly apparently my dad got the test and failed as well, as he was too hyper according to my grandma. Maybe I was just too nervous, as that became a central theme in my life later and could even stem from that experience itself. I barely remember anything.

Anyways I appreciate any response!
