I'm a human being, god damn it. My life has value.

  • Depth here just means thinking more about their inner life and choosing a compliment based on your intimate knowledge about how they feel. That kind of compliment demonstrates the connection in a way that feels profound, rather than mere flattery.

    About fifteen years ago I told my partner, rather artlessly I thought, that I love them not in spite of their flaws but because of them, too. It wasn't what you'd call genius material but the words were intended to quell a deep fear of conditional love, and they still haven't forgotten the compliment. Despite not being anywhere near poetry or a grand gesture, the fact that I realized this could not be left implicit was an important moment in our relationship.

    Not a perfect example, but it's the best I've got.

  • "Crows walk, ravens hop, and rooks go in a flock."

    I always get it mixed up in my head.

  • Someone should disseminate the simple sab manual

  • ... You're on what list?

  • I'm not into Tesla stock. I'm not just here to whine about a single stock not doing what I want, it's that I think price action in general is too irrational. I've got an axe to grind here and it goes beyond which stocks to pick.

    Huge ETFs and algorithmic trading makes too many tickers move all the same way. This harms price discovery. And don't get me started on off-exchange trading; This month, off-exchange volume exceeded that of lit markets.

  • Seriously. If everything I said leaked to billions of people, I'd be a comedic phenomenon, a trendsetter, and a terrorist.

  • Not like me to give notes on a webcomic but ...wouldn't it be funnier if he did start explaining

  • Do you get why this is starting to feel very circular? If not, please don't trouble yourself to respond. Sincerely.

  • Right. So anyway, the market does often appear oversensitive to buzz and under-responsive to fundamentals. What's your take on market reforms? Are there any changes you'd like to see, regulatory or otherwise?

  • That's just another way of saying buyer sentiment is the only thing that matters, in which case we're back to square one.

  • My point is, if this is how markets react to worsening sales and an actually insane CEO how can you trust a rational bet to pay off?

  • True enough. A bet on any tech stocks right now is probably safe on that basis - but I expect they really do plan to crash the stock market at some point... It would make sense if you wanted to consolidate ownership cheaply.

  • Value investing is basically dead, isn't it? Am I crazy? How can you objectively evaluate a company's value, notice it is undervalued, and then trade accordingly when price action does not even slightly track the company's value?

  • Big mood.

    Do people still say big mood?

  • I would be shocked if I was more active in the kink community

  • A part of me loved the idea of decentralized finance (punk as fuck if it hurts centralized finance) and was rooting for NFTs if they were going to be used to restore ownership rights for digital property but... That's not what happened. It's all grift.

  • That's not a traditional view of investing or the manner in which securities are built to be valued, but it is admittedly the modal paradigm to which we are subject.
