Parece que al menos en La Plata hay una nueva moda: la de circular en auto sin patente.
Hoy vi ya siete autos (tres de ellos camionetas de esas gigantescas típicas de hombres con micropene) que no tenían la chapa patente ni delantera ni trasera; ni siquiera la truchada del papel “provisorio”.
Ni hablar de las motos, que son más las que circulan sin ningún tipo de papeles que aquellas en regla.

Let me tell you how I became a proud science denier, and how it saved my life.

an older example of the same thing: to be gay in the 1970s, in many countries you had to think you knew better than the health authorities, who believed this was an illness you should try to cure.
and then, a couple of years later, the same health authorities ask you to believe that there's a dangerous illness going around that somehow mysteriously requires gay people to limit their sex lives.
knowing which scientific claims to trust is _very hard_.
Cory Doctorow reshared this.
I don't think this science denial. A big part of science is rigorous debate of the evidence. If you have evidence to the contrary, whether it's "anecdotal" lived experience or published data, then not blindly trusting established narrative *is* science. Dissenting views and contradictions are more valuable to the scientific process than confirmations* because it's evidence of some misunderstanding that can be used to push science as a whole forward.
*Of course you need some confirmations, and the replication crisis is a whole separate issue that leads to mistrust in science

In case you weren’t paying attention, most of the people that understand economics told you that Trump was going to be a disaster. Only those that were part of the cult told you otherwise. So now you are going to act surprised because you voted for a felon, a bigot, a con man, and a dolt.

Shorting stock is a risky and ill-advised move, only for experts, almost certainly a bad idea except for experts, yes, yes, I know.

With Tesla up a bit today, I wish I had a brokerage account already so I could short it for, say, one week out from now, just with a few symbolic bucks.
OK, screw it, I want to do this. I want to put a little money in TSLQ and TSLZ (which is a way of betting that Tesla stock will drop). Clearly nonsense as a financial plan; I’ll only put in an amount I’m willing to lose. This is just for symbolic reasons. I’m willing pay a few bucks to raise this middle finger.
Recommendations: What's a less-terrible place to open an account where I can trade individual stocks? It needs to be low overhead and low nonsense; there will only ever be at •most• a few hundred dollars involved.
if you have a bank account somewhere that also owns a brokerage most have low cost/self managed trading options (for example if you bank with Bank of America you can open an account at Merrill Lynch pretty easily. May not be the most ideologically pure but may be easy if you already have the accounts.
(fewer credit unions or b corp banks have brokerages)
I'm reasonably happy with Charles Schwab but not sure their minimums but generally decent (relatively for their industry)

Remember to short or buy puts. And buy a long enough term so you don't get caught in the Rancid Kumquat talking up the price.
I'm not sure why you'd want to just plain buy the stock. That thing is so overvalued it's floating purely on belief in Musk's genius. (Check out the P/E, over 100! _After_ it's down about 50%.) And that belief has nowhere to go but down at this point.
My dim and highly dubious understanding is that people betting against like this do actually help drive down the price, so I say go for it!
My account tools show the history of the fund, so I could look, but why...
My little portfolio has appreciated 20%, including about 10% today, though it's been quite volatile over the first week.
I'm not advising that anyone invest money they can't afford to lose in this way !
Finally managed to jump through all the hoops and get a danged brokerage account open, and my similar portfolio (basically yours plus a dash of TSLS) is up ten bucks the first day. Good times.
But of course making short-term money isn’t really the point; I’m not planning to sell unless / until the company is in the gutter. As an investment, it’s a little moonshot, and I kissed that money goodbye in my mind the moment I bought.

In the foreground, there are several vehicles parked along the curb: two older model cars with prominent grilles and rounded body shapes indicative of late 1930s or early '40s design. The license plate visible reads "7N4T-16." Pedestrians are walking on a wide sidewalk; some dressed in business attire, suggesting it is possibly during working hours.

They both exhibit focused expressions as they navigate down the street.

[18:23] Eva (43) richtte Samen naar School-klas op in Groningen: ‘Iedere ouder met een gehandicapt kind komt in deze shit’

I wish this wasn't such a regular occurrence for me.
@neia
I know what you're referring to, but I don't think that's the case here.
I think for this, it's more my neurodivergence at play. Unfortunately, sometimes I just need things spelled out for me. And I think people interpret my asking for clarification as being dismissive or rude, or something. But I don't intend it that way. I'm not trying to make anyone feel bad. I just really don't understand and want to be involved...
Which ironically often makes me feel even more left out. ^^;
