Last poster before threadlock gets a cookie (cookie thread (Part 7)) (Part 8)

Go help consult gray

I’ve also considered buying gold which idk maybe that’s just a sign of my waning faith in our financial system/institutions and increasing anxiety at the state of things, or maybe all these warning signs that things are about to get Bad are real and it’s a good decision. I’ve also thought about purchasing 9mm rounds for literally the same reason as gold. Typing this out makes me feel fucking deranged, but I keep considering it.

that twelve (12) month contract, now should’ve you?

is “should’ve” grammatically accurate here or is there a word that should replace it

i thought “shouldn’t” would work but it sounds weird

“shouldn’t of you”

works. i think.

or should it be “shouldn’t have you?”

Well, you should’ve thought of that before you signed that twelve (12) month contract, now [word in discussion] you?

Idk

I would go with “now shouldn’t have you?”
Idk what the actual rules for these things are, I just say whatever feels right.

the issue is that, assuming historical trends continue, missing the best days is far far worse than dodging the worst days

idr how old you are but unless you’re planning on retiring in the near future it may not be worth it long-term unless you manage to somehow only dodge the worst of it and stay in every single day it goes up (if you can do this, DM me :) )

I’m personally 100% in on S&P 500 for all of my retirement savings, and almost all of my savings are in one retirement savings account or another (I save a lot)

Right I’m assuming that these unrealized losses aren’t going to just magically correct themselves. I think a lot of stock prices are up right now because of AI, but AI isn’t profitable and all signs point it to not being profitable any time soon. That’s also propping up stocks like Nvidia (80-90% of their current revenue comes from chips for AI). Like literally the most valuable company in the word at the moment based on market cap, Nvidia ($3.4 T vs Apple’s $3.1 T), may just collapse in value if the AI bubble bursts (and I think it will). Going down the list, Microsoft (3), Google (4), Amazon (5), Meta (7), TSMC (9), and Broadcom (10) may all be impacted significantly. Telsa is 8 for just fictional reasons as far as I can tell given the last new product they made is already under-performing that now pre-sales dried up, and they shrunk the division (batteries) that was actually growing and profitable for ??? reasons. There are more tech companies that likely have a lot of value tied up in AI speculation, and that’s just one particular thing that seems bad right now.

There’s also bird flu which no one is doing anything about right now and Global Pandemic 2 is a scary prospect. Like it’s just rampaging through much of the country’s livestock right now, and there are seemingly more and more human cases which makes it feel like a matter of time before it mutates into a variant that’s contagious in humans because, again, no one is doing anything about it.

Idk there are other just Bad Signs that make me feel like we’re close to the house of cards coming tumbling down leading into a major recession or depression. Hope I’m wrong, but like things keep trending in the “this is all just gonna fall over soon isn’t it” direction for me.
