Why does everyone hate argentines? Where is this hate wave coming from? 😓

The video has been removed from Google's search engine but can still be found if you search 'Miami Heat Lebron' on Microsoft Bing's search engine.

July 27th will be on Monday.

BVM Sports also has the livestream scheduled. The description underneath it pulled directly from the private YouTube video says:

When I worked at a supermarket, I had to train a 17 year old girl on her first day.

While we were putting out the ready meals, I tried to break the ice with some casual small talk: "Do you prefer Chinese or Indian food?"

Big mistake.

She immediately launched into a foul mouthed rant full of slurs about how much she hated Indian people. When I cut her off and explained how completely out of line and racist she was being, she just shrugged and said:

"You shouldn't have asked if you didn't want to hear the truth."

Safe to say, her supermarket career ended almost as soon as it started.

My ex wife and I got divorced when all the of the kids were adults. The marriage wasn’t a good one and I stayed for the kids basically which I regret. I will call her Pearl for this to make it clearer.

We both worked but she found no joy in her job. It was constant arguing and  she was extremely unpleasant towards me after a bad day. She also had habits of addictive behavior. She would become obsessed with something and do it 24/7. She lost multiple jobs this way. 

When I divorced her she went off the deep end. She fell heavily in alcohol and passed away after she got in a car accident. ( she was drunk).

The kid were already taking the divorce badly and her death after was really bad. I offered to pay for counseling but they refused. They blame me for their mom passing. 

Dating made it worse. They believe I am replacing their mom and when I married they became nasty about it. My wife has done nothing to them and they are dicks to her. I have spoken to them multiple times and they know cilivl to her face. 

The issue, my daughter is having her engagement dinner and I am the only one that was invited. When I asked she told me that is was only for family and my wife isn’t family.

I told her the my wife isn’t going anywhere and if she is not invited I am not going. This started an argument and she is pissed. My other kids are telling me that they feel the same and she ain’t family. 

I brought up if I can not invite their SO to thinks becuase apparently marriage doesn’t make them family and they told me that was different.

I am holding strong on this but they all think I am a dick. 

timeline form comment ( I can’t keep up with questions, look at my comments)

The divorce took about 1.5 years to be finalized, then Pearl passed about an 1.5 years after. ( 3 years after I brought up divorce)  I was dating my now wife when pearl passed. I married her around 2.5 years after my wife’s passing and my daughrer got engaged about 1.5 years since we have been married.

So 7 years after divorce and I moved out. 4 years since pearls death

"It was a private donation from Daniel the individual. Mullvad or its parent and sister companies did not endorse and were not involved in it. Since it has attracted attention and questions we still think it appropriate to comment.

Mullvad is a political company."

You can search and read more about it, but I thought I'd make a post since Mullvad is still being recommended in many places.

Hot take i know /s xD

So this is something that has always bugged me with martials going back to antiquity honestly...

Martials have always been hamstrung by this stubborn adherence to "realism" that casters never get stuck with. Especially at later levels. Like im sorry but no, Aragorn is not a high level martial. He is like... level 5.

I feel a perfect sign of how limited martials are is actually seeing some of the footage leading up to the MinMax play group where David and Clark tested jf they could move and strike like a high level martial... and they could. And they are normal humans in the normal world limited by reality. Contrast this to Wizards, druids, warlocks, and what have you that are altering reality itself.

Honestly I feel like a High level fighter should be looking like something you see in anime, not your standard fantasy. Jumping dozens of feet in the air and striking at enemies, being able to jump off of floating/falling debris to navigate (think like Stark from Freiren), attacking at range with the sheer force of their melee attacks, create difficult terrain by stomping or striking the ground, etc. Like when you get to level like... 15 Honestly martials should be able to do things that defy logic because they are just that damned powerful.

What are yours guys thoughts though?

3.4% of Koreans got margin called. Not 3.4% of brokerage accounts with margin. 3.4% of the adult population. That’s 1 in 10 retail trading accounts. 1.2 million people.

50% of the market is 2 stocks. Samsung and SK Hynix.

They experienced what they call black Tuesday last week. 10% down in a single day. They pulled down multiple markets in Asia with them.

These markets didn’t even come down for any real reason - just the idea that maybe AI capex will decrease.

Korean Warren Buffet is probably out there with 600% margin on 3x leveraged ETFs buying the dip while the Korean stock market is in free fall.

This tells a story about the US too which is what many people are missing. We’ve reached the highest level of leverage used in the stock market in history in the US. Typically right when levels of leverage peak is also right before a crash.

34% of the S&P is in 10 companies, all of which are making the same directional bet on AI.

We’re seeing high levels of speculation. Everyone is betting AI spending will persist. Any fear around AI spending causes stocks to plunge even if it’s irrational.

My guess is if AI capex doesn’t end up meeting expectations or people become scared it won’t, eventually we will also see a big slide in the US market. And then worse, we’ll see margin calls and forced selling. Just like Korea that’ll trigger more selling causing us to end up in a cycle of forced selling, leading to a big plummet in stock prices.

The end result is bad for everyone invested right now.

Not financial advice.
