It would be an interesting experiment to take a group of people and let them choose from one of these options: 1 day without food 1 day without technology I think the result would be very close to 50:50.

@Leo Gura What I am trying to say is that the tech stock sector has always been considered too risky and not very predictable. This is the first time a lot of investors and financial advisors are recommending the IT sector as a safe haven and a hedge against a recession. It is being compared to the alcohol and tobacco industry, which has also performed relatively well during a recession due to people being addicted to the product.

I would agree that information technology has some huge benefits but let's be real. The true age of information technology is long gone. It was back in the late 90s and early 2000s when kids were genuinely interested in searching for good sources of information on the internet. There were lots on personal blogs and forums to be found and everyone was truly amazed by the power of internet. Nowadays it's just social networks and mass media consumption... and lots of advertisisement.

Not a movie, but Severance is an incredible series that only has one season so far (season 2 is coming in January 25) A true hidden gem. I think most of you guys will like it a lot.

Yes, if Agora was 100% historically accurate, the ending would be a bloody mess and Christians would never let it go public.

Still much better than Gladiator 2. Historical movies are not profitable so they are dying. Just be happy with what you have or go watch documentaries 😉

Agora Arn Tempelriddaren Black Death Ironclad Centurion The Eagle The Other Boleyn Girl Just to name a few. Some of them are not historically accurate, but based on history. Most of them are highly underrated on IMDB.

It's especially hard to find good historical movies these days. The last good historical movies were made around 2010.

2022-2024 have been some of the best years for movies. It's like a small golden age. You are watching wrong movies. Here are some good ones: Banshees of Inisherin The Zone of Interest Aftersun Saltburn Menu Killers of the Flower Moon Poor Things The Substance Also, there are dozens of good European/Korean movies out there, you just have to look for them.

Plot twist: Elon and Trump are robots planning to enslave humans. Their massive egos are just programs designed to make their behaviour believable for an average human.

He didn't support Trump before.

Yes, it's a wake up call. I wouldn't expect him to be willing to join the Trump/Musk administration.

@Leo Gura What do you think of Ron Paul? Is he also a corrupt opportunist?

Well, I didn't say that Scandinavian countries are socialist, I just meant that it's one of the few regions in the world whe some degree of socialism can actually work and has been working. But then, once you visit those countries, you quickly realize that it's still not working 100% and there are some big issues such as the rise in criminal activities. But yeah, that's due to extreme liberalism, not socialism. So basically the ideal system is a "non crony capitalism" right? At least that's what I think. Unfortunately, we might never get one.

@Leo GuraSo, what do you think is the best political system? Scandinavian type of socialism? It has been described many times that Scandinavia is a very specific region where people have been depending on each other for centuries and therefore trust the government much more than in other parts of the world. This can't be replicated in 99% of the world.

It's already happening. He created his meme coins and NFTs to take bribes from scammers, politicians, CEOs, etc. In 2017, he was 100% anti crypto, now he is a crypto shill.

Warren Buffett also sold Apple and Apple went up a lot. It was still a smart move and people who understand finance know why it was a smart move.

Leo left this thread long time ago because he knows there is no point arguing with them.

It was either meth or cocaine, can't remember. There was a link to his case in a comment under one of his YouTube videos. Even if it wasn't true, he is still a convicted fraudster and tax evader. But yeah, so are lots of others.

I really hope you didn't get horny during the last 15 minutes or so...

Yep, it's one of those movies that you need to dedicate your whole evening for, because you won't be able to do anything productive that day. It's considered a genre redefining movie.

Anything Trump will do is just going to push today's problems further into the future. If you want to hold the stock for 20+ years I wouldn't be worried too much.

"Want to support capitalism and such" What I am doing right now is buying stocks in the "waste management" and "renewable energy" sectors. They are stable investments that pay dividends and are helping the environment a d such.

Congrats guys! One of the biggest health companies on the Nasdaq index was just replaced by a crypto pyramid scheme run by a cocain addict. I guess we were wrong after all and crypto is the future!
