if you know what i mean 😏

I love the broken english, the unfinished sentences that stop abruptly, the lack of punctuation, the overly complicated sentences.

It's perfect. What a character, you instantly know it's him whenever you read a comment or title without even looking at the username. Makes me lol everytime, the sub wouldn't be the same without you.

you, sir, are much appreciated.

In the name of all the gangstalking-freemason-illuminaty-secret-society-club-member-shills on here that are out to get Frank, we love you!

das bedeutete soviel wie "krass" oder "mörder!"

Einfac

Being a trader, before Micron earnings, my exit strat was:

• ≤ $25 EPS guidance: exit instantly
• $25-27 EPS: still reduce or exit
• > $27 EPS: continue holding and reassess after the next earnings

Instead, Micron guided $31 EPS. That made me more bearish, not less.

If $31 EPS is now the fucking baseline, what does the overall market expect next?

Yeah and heeeeeeeere comes July... earnings from ASML, TSMC, Texas Instruments, Lam Research, Intel, Microsoft, Alphabet, and others. The Micron earnings release was choking the entire world, but we have almost 10 more of those coming in the next month.

That's an absolute minefield. The market only needs one of these companies to deliver weaker guidance, slower AI capex, or simply fail to exceed extreme expectations for sentiment to change rapidly.

I'm not bearish on AI. I'm bearish on the probability that every single major AI earnings report over the next month clears an increasingly unrealistic bar.

That's why I expect a meaningful correction during July.

Curious how other traders are positioning. I plan on significantly reducing my semi position in peace meal over the next months.

-15% seems like an obvious buying call

Earnings is Wednesday after market close. Doubt people will try to pump this before earnings, so it might fall some more.

I have observed that usually the stock tanks after earnings, but this time it seems to be reversed, it’s tanking before earnings and will probably rocket after earnings right?

Before you instantly doubt me, I was the one who correctly predicted that Kelson turned Samson into a Morphine addict and that they would become buddies

After burying Dr. Kelson, Samson stays at Kelson’s bunker for a while. While going through Kelson’s belongings, he finds Kelson’s notes on suppressing the Rage Virus symptoms. He also finds a piece of cloth that belonged to the infected woman who gave birth to his child.

Seeing it tiggers memories like the “Moon” scene in 28TBT. He starts remembering who she was, their relationship and that she was carrying his child.

While staying in the bunker, Samson slowly teaches himself how to read again using Kelson’s books. Some of them are children’s books he remembers from before the outbreak, which helps him recover lost memories and language.

However, Samson isn’t cured. Kelson’s treatment only suppresses the Rage Virus. Without regular doses of medication, the symptoms begin to return. At first he experiences brief relapses where he loses control and becomes violently enraged again. As time goes on, the episodes become more frequent. Samson realizes that if he runs out of medicine completely, he will eventually lose himself and return to being a monster.

Because of this, he leaves the bunker carrying Kelson’s notes and begins travelling across mainland Britain, raiding pharmacies, hospitals, and abandoned medical facilities in search of anything that can keep the virus under control.

Eventually he runs into Jamie.

Jamie assumes Samson is still fully infected and attacks him. After a fight, they realize they can actually communicate. During their conversation, Jamie lets it slip that there is a child on Holy Island who was born from an infected mother.

Samson immediately suspects the child is his daughter.

Jamie refuses to tell him where she is or let him anywhere near Holy Island. As far as Jamie is concerned, Samson is still a giant infected man who could lose control at any moment.

Instead, Jamie offers him a deal:

Help me find Spike, and if we find him, I’ll take you to your daughter. Jamie needs Samson’s help to be able to keep fighting off the hoards of infected in his search for Spike.

Samson agrees, and the rest of the movie follows Jamie and Samson travelling across mainland Britain searching for Spike while Samson struggles to keep the virus under control and his supply of medication running out.

I think this would fit the “resurrection” theme pretty well:

• Samson is slowly resurrecting his humanity, memories, and identity.
• Jamie is trying to resurrect his relationship with Spike and his role as a father.
• Samson is trying to become a father to a daughter he has never met.
• Dr. Kelson’s work lives on after his death through Samson.
• The constant threat of Samson losing himself again makes his struggle to remain human a form of resurrection in itself.

It would also give both Jamie and Samson a reason to work together even though neither fully trusts the other.

I just found out that breakdancing was in the Olympics, LOL. I saw a clip of that one chick called Ray-something making an absolute ass out of herself. Imagine thinking that you can do dancing competitively lol. It’s a freaking form of ghetto dancing, not a sport. You can’t master this. And I was also laughing my ass off how both the competitors always try to clown each other. Like they don’t even respect what the fuck. I’m very glad this got canceled. And why is it called “b-boy”, so stupid attempt to sound cool, nobody even knows what you’re talking about inside your little bubble.

I’m currently heavily invested in SMH but I definitely wanna exit this week, due to a number of reasons. It has tanked like 10% last week and I’m wondering if I should file an order over the weekend to sell right at market opening on Monday. How would you handle it?

My boyfriend is a veteran; he did 2 tours in Afghanistan and later a tour in Ukraine in late 2023. We've been dating for about 8 months now.

When we first started dating, I was under the impression that he hadn't seen much combat and was mostly unaffected by his time overseas (kind of naive). It's safe to say he's seen frontline action, because he has some shrapnel in his torso and thighs that can't be removed.

About 2 months ago I was having trouble paying rent and we decided to move in together. We'd slept together before but usually it was just weekends or a couple nights a week. He warned me a few times that he's restless in his sleep and not to worry about it.

About a week after I moved in, I woke up in the middle of the night and saw him sitting up in bed. His eyes were open but he wasn't responding to me. He was mumbling something and absolutely drenched in sweat, like completely soaked.

I tried talking to him and shaking him a little and he just stared straight through me and made these weird grunting noises. Every few nights I'd wake up and he'd be mumbling in his sleep. Sometimes he'd be shivering and sweating so much that the sheets were damp. Other times I'd wake up and realize he was crying, but still asleep.

Honestly, seeing him like that breaks my heart every time and sometimes I end up crying too. A few times I've just laid there holding him even though he's soaked in sweat and shivering because I don't know what else to do. He always says holding my hand helps him fall asleep and helps with the nightmares.

Trying to wake him up usually doesn't work. Most of the time he just stares through me like he can't even see me. What's also horrible is that sometimes he jerks really violently if I touch him. I've gotten a few bruises from accidental elbows.

But the worst one happened 2 weeks ago. I woke up because he was moving around, he was drenched in sweat again and laying on his stomach and grunting into his pillow. I reached over to hold him hand and all of a sudden he grabbed a fistful of my hair and yanked me toward him at full force. It happened so fast that I barely understood what was going on. His eyes were wide open like I'd never seen before and he clearly wasn't awake.

It hurt enough that I screamed, but the second I screamed he let go and seemed to snap out of it. He immediately let go and got out of bed in complete shock and left the room without saying a word. For a few days after that he barely talked to me and kept offering to sleep somewhere else.

Now he mostly sleeps on the couch. Sometimes we'll fall asleep together and then I'll wake up at 3 AM and realize he's moved himself out there sometime during the night. He says he misses sleeping next to me and honestly I miss it too, but now he seems completey terrified at the idea of sleeping next to me.

I've tried to get him to go to therapy but he had a really traumatizing experience when he went as a kid for his parents divorce and he absolutely refuses, like nonnegotiable. I want to help him and I really, really want to stay with him but I have no clue what to do or how to help. I don't want to force him to talk about it but I'm honestly at a loss.

I really love him and want to help him, but I honestly have no clue what to do.

Tl;dr: My boyfriend is a veteran with severe sleep disturbances where he talks, sweats through the sheets, cries, and seems completely unaware of what’s happening. One night he violently grabbed my hair in his sleep and yanked me toward him, which scared both of us, and now he avoids sleeping in the bed and refuses therapy so I don’t know how to help him.

I just saw my best friends mom without makeup and she looked weird, so it made me think why women don't think guys look weird when not wearing make-up.

to take it further, what makeup could a dude wear to make him look better?
