  • A Short Sale position is actually a risk and if people know you’re doing it they will ride you to the bank by buying up as many shares as they can and force you to pay them when your deadline to repay the borrowed shares comes up.

    WSB might be the butt of a lot of jokes but they have (in the past at least) analysts and insights that rival top investment firms, not reflecting of the average participants performance. A much more logical decision would be to inflate the price at launch and then when it reaches a critical state ride it (short sell) into the ground as it panic sells into penny stocks.









  • Technically, there is some added nuance to this:

    Yemen is split between political factions such as the contemporary president attempting to establish a government in the south and the Houthi leadership who have used military force to take control in the north.

    China and Russia are speaking out about the fact that some of Iran’s and Yemen’s military supplies warehouses were struck in addition to the official non-state-sponsored™ “rebels” controlled sites.

    So while China is right in saying the USA and UK backed by several other nations attacked a non-hostile nation, it’s also clearly posturing and ignorance of the facts that those target sites were weapons actively being used against them or otherwise against other innocents including potentially their own peoples.



  • I feel such deep and powerful hatred because it’s not just a sudden illness that goes away. People don’t realize that not only will some of these children die but some of them will develop lifelong debilitating illness such as central nervous system diseases including SSPE as well as a type of AIDs. Viruses cause permanent damage.

    In the same way that Polio can cripple people, Chickenpox can cause shingles, and the Spanish Flu lead to a worldwide outbreak of Encephalitis Lethargica characterized by a chronic loss of consciousness trapping you inside your own body like a prison.

    Those people are subjecting this to children. If I wrote the laws, this would be a crime punished on the same level as murder.




  • Entry level average salary for Game Designers is around 50K USD, or $24 Per Hour equivalent, veteran positions make over 100k USD. For artists that number is even higher, from 60k to 120k.

    In the last 3 years alone Indie games have gone from about 10% of the market to 20%. The game market as a whole has been seeing massive growths. There has never been a better time to abandon the corporate overlords and make your own games with small teams and studios.
