As much as I realize this is the shitpost community, you shouldn’t be looking at the stock market on less than a 10 year timeframe. There’s always going to be some impending disaster, some correction. The only people this affects are those near retirement who are still heavily invested in equities, which already is a bad strategy.

I smoke drugs for the health benefits and flavor, primarily.

This isn’t any exaggeration: it has been demonstrated using statistical analysis

Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence. The results provide substantial support for theories of Economic-Elite Domination and for theories of Biased Pluralism, but not for theories of Majoritarian Electoral Democracy or Majoritarian Pluralism.

Nah, this is wrong. Cassettes don’t sound like dogshit and most vintage decks sound great when properly calibrated.

Modern $20 Chinese portables sound like ass, I’ll give you that.

Oh, no doubt. Reel to reel is the ultimate analog media.

Incorrect. I have three NAD 6300s and a Nakamichi Dragon, and with metal tapes it’s transparent to digital. Shit even good type II nearly transparent. Tapes do not sound “dogshit”. Unlike vinyl, you can easily experiment with the many varieties of tape out there and master your own cassette recordings. It’s like rolling tubes in an analog amplifier. Yes, it’s not perfectly transparent to digital on a cheap type I tape, but the warmth of a high end type I rounds off some of the harshness of modern tracks. YMMV, it’s not for everyone, but I think it’s pretty fucking cool.

Cassettes are making a comeback much like vinyl but to a lesser extent. I’ve got 600 or so cassettes and probably 3/4 of them were made in the past 8 years.

Really? I thought it was what was filmed. Not to be that guy but… source?

Elaborate on “fake.” It’s the same studio who made both, MFX. This is super easy to verify online.

swap.avi - when you realize 2girls1cup is just a trailer for a full length video from the same studio

Don’t forget HAI2U, or Mr Hands. Cakefarts isn’t exactly shocking in comparison to these heavy hitters but is definitely one of the classics.

Shock site pranks via disguised links was the best possible anti-phishing training one could receive as a teenager. Bring that shit back.

It’s still the top ranking shock site to me, never been eclipsed.

You really should look it up, because of the OG shock sites, cakefarts is the least disgusting and most funny. A bonafide internet classic.

“Know what I like the most… cake farts”

If taking a shit is leaving a shit, is leaving a shit, taking a shit?

I REGRET EVERYTHING

I mean, it doesn’t really follow given the context. Nobody is talking about the visual sense, they’re talking about humanizing AI through using certain words, which isn’t paredolia.

Paredolia just means seeing patterns that aren’t there, it’s not implicitly human. If you see a dog in the clouds, that’s paredolia.

Nobody. Impermanence is a blessing, not a curse.

An abdominal aortic junctional tourniquet stops bleeding to any lower extremity or groin injury by cutting off the abdominal aorta.

Yes you can, these tourniquets already exist
