  1. The cross necklace is a nice touch. Like I wasn't already staring at her cleavage
  2. Whole post was spot on but I wanted to highlight this. Was talking to my folks about this a few days ago, trying to explain the QAnon phenomenon and how the fuck we got there. How political polarization combined with social media herding people into like minded groups to create interactions that get progressively more extreme in idea. These bubbles become echo chambers without counter balances. This is exactly where the disconnect is. It's not a difference of ideas or policies. It's become a complete separation of experienced realities. Like a fork in the road of time travel or something, the alt right fearmongering religious conservative lives in a different universe than the rest of us. Facts are no longer facts, they've become opinions that are shrugged off and replaced with extreme opinions that get believed as facts. Social media echo chambers reinforce these extreme opinions and they become "obviously" true, when they are simply not. But the belief is there. The faith in that being unquestionably true is there. And it's dangerous as fuck. Facts used to unite us in one world where disagreement and discussion was possible because there was at least mutually agreed upon points of intersection. edit: In fairness, the mechanism of polarization + social media echo chamber = more extremism with less and less grounding in reality is not exclusive to the right, obviously. Echo chambers have produced extremists throughout history, they normally have been literal bubbles with lack of outside world interaction. See indoctrination of kids into jihadism, hippy cults turned terrorists in California, whatever. Same basic idea. If all you know is the story from one source, it sure seems true. Those extremists are grown in literal bubbles with zero attachment/access to the outside world. The current political extremism is by fucking choice by people with access to all the information in the world at their fingertips via their phone and computers.... The irony is that same access that should act as a counterbalance was actually the method of rapid spread and introduction of insane ideas to millions more. woops. It's just spread like wildfire. The perfect storm of tea party and increased social media utilization among older ages combined to form one hell of a seed that has grown into a major fuck storm.
  3. he's owning the libs with his laugh, obvi
  4. giant shit stain
  5. Have you been to Kent?
  6. All good! I have zero emotional attachment to any of them. I don't know what most are even. Commentary is appreciated. Those are all selected by the HUMBL Index blocks and Thematic blocks. Basically held like a mutual fund and they re adjust periodically what each one will hold and will rebalance my wallets accordingly. Fun little experiment to dip my toe into crypto.
  7. best one lmao I'm attributing any elite/political death the rest of the year to the Ever Given (which hast taketh away)
  8. explaining the US and Covid-19, and where we are at currently, using football. an attempt at poetry. It's 3rd and 12. First drive of the game. 1st down was a simple slant route. Half the offensive line refused to acknowledge there was even a game that had started. They stayed in the locker room (irony!). The receiver yelled oppression at being asked to wear a helmet. He pointed to the kickoff returner, who's head was bashed in on the return, and yells no fair, he didn't have to wear a helmet! BuT mY rRigHtS!!!! The QB was sacked for a massive loss of 7. It is announced that the kickoff returner has died. Along with his grandma. 2nd down was a HB dive. We picked up a few yards right up the middle. It was boring. It took forever. Nobody was talking to each other in person. But it was productive. We might have something here. Wait what's that..... The umpire is getting heckled by the offensive line via twitter for spotting the ball correctly. They saw on facebook that we already got a first down. Actually we never didn't have a first down. 2nd and 3rd down are myths. Fake news. The fattest, fake blondest, cheeto-y-ist lineman looks straight into the sun..... smugly. He has won. He sends a victory tweet. The children are saved. The down marker changes to 3rd. It's 3rd and 12. The LB coach is screaming at the offensive coordinator to tell him why he isn't allowed to go to church [He is allowed to go to church]. The OC has a new play and if everybody does their part we will gain a first down. The LB coach wants to know exactly how many people need to do their part, because he doesn't believe in the play and doesn't want to participate, and wants to tell like minded folk the same. But he still really wants a first down. Just not like that. So he can go to church again. But he saw a video on facebook that said the new play was made by bill gates and that's communism. It's 3rd and 12. Delay of Game. It's 3rd and 17-(Q) We are fucked.
  9. Rate/Destroy my wallets, coinbase and bittrex. I know nothing about any of these coins. I got into holding crypto through the humbl etx's I posted previously. I'm curious if there are any thoughts from more knowledgeable coin bros.
  10. Let's be real, it's 3rd and 5 running the 2 yard hitch
  11. Jeremy Renner really let himself go post Avengers
  12. Bijan making people look like lil bitches is going to be the theme of 2021
  13. so you're saying 5/21 $30 calls >_< edit: not touching until positive momentum resumes but will be watching close
  14. Found a whitepaper going into nerd level detail on what HUMBL is doing and the details behind their ETX's. For those smart enough to understand any of it https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5f7e0f64c2ca4d069511f5c9/5fe96dabf5428943133b2882_HUMBL Financial White Paper.pdf
  15. I think the thing that has eased my mind for sure regarding the fear of a rug pull type event is the very nature of how they work..... it circumvents the existing monetary system completely..... that's the whole point, decentralization. If the "man" doesn't actually control it..... they can't unplug it. /smoothBrainDiagnosis I've got $1k in HUMBL stuff right now and excited to see what happens with it.
  16. Might as well throw this into here. Anybody else start using HUMBL Financial's ETX's or active trading bots? The penny discord had some activity on it yesterday (launch....filled with usual new product hiccups) and today. Things seem to be up and running just fine now. https://financial.humblpay.com/invest Short version, $5/month subscription let's you link your Bittrex/Coinbase etc with HUMBL's crypto ETF's or their AI Bot that trades certain blocks for you. As someone who doesn't understand crypto in much detail or know the differences between coins..... That is a very, very appealing way to get in on the action while it all looks like greek to me still.
  17. Somehow I never saw this. Holy shit. That was awesome
  18. do these people earn a living being entertainers in the press or working for NFL teams as scouts?
  19. Seahawks sign DE Hyder, release Reed, then sign Dunlap back. Big vote of confidence in Poona holding down the middle to go with his extension. Hard to see keeping KJ Wright unless he really just doesn't have a market for himself outside of SEA. Cutting Reed created the space to sign Dunlap, back to having no money available without major restructure for Russ and Bobby
  20. jfc. quads of orakpo right there
  21. that explains why I couldn't find it. Thanks
  22. What's the current long Harrison Stafford ETF have in it? I remember AMYZF and UUUU, I feel like there were at least two others a lot of folks here are in right? NUK? N something.
  23. Tapa sucks donky balls compared to the discord app just FYI yup. The bot formatting is not good but if that can be cleaned up it will really improve readability on discord of stuff happening here and ease the transition to 2 way when it happens. Highly recommend giving it a go for at least a month. Live updates, search that isn't retarded, and format are all big improvements.
  24. yeah the bot posting 1 way doesn't really seem to be contributing to the discord chat threads. All it does it give eyes on stuff here while i'm on discord. It's actually encouraging me to not check here because I see stuff in discord and don't come here, thus limiting my participation here (you're welcome), Bot format is kinda wonky too, doesn't handle quoted posts well at all or media. I do like discord significantly better for during market hours chat and quick news / action items / general meme chat. I have it up or in the background all day and the live updates are plainly superior to f5ing the board. The dd room has been nicely used for just DD and resources, not crowded with other convo (mostly, overall good job to errbody for not mucking it up) and is a quick catch up and read for those looking for DD. I love that part of the recent moves. No idea when the 2 way ability is expected but market days will be a decent mini stress test bed in prep for football in the fall. I'd say a tourney game thread would be a great test platform but we don't like to win games here apparently.
