This is next level wrong:

“How most of Facebook’s 62 analysts—who spend their lives crunching numbers—failed to see such a dismal report coming could be a case study on what you miss when looking at consensus expectations.” pic.twitter.com/N60M9cQLnL

I never look at consensus expectations because I don’t give a shit about what clueless analysts think about anything.

I sold all my Facebook stock back in October 2021. Made a lot of money off it, too. When you can tell that the tide is turning, don’t need to know or care what anyone else believes.

Proof I done did what I said I did:

FB is about 35% lower now.

I was discussing with my partner a bit ago the mystifying lust many liberals have for restricting travel. This was the case an increasing amount before the pandemic, but has reached a fever pitch during the course of the various waves. It has nothing to do with the pandemic, of course. It’s just that good ol’ religious urge popping up again.

So bizarre.

One of my friends a few years ago: “I was a cheerleader in high school. You’d be surprised what dressing hot and acting stupid can get you out of.”

She got out of that traffic ticket in front of a judge, too. I would’ve done the same thing if I had her advantages in life. Why not use them? Life ain’t fair and never will be.

Progressives wished to use the pandemic to remake the world into their preferred shape. It didn’t work out and now they are very bitter about it. Perhaps it would’ve been a better world; this post is not an examination of that, but just noting where the rancor comes from. They tried and failed and that always hurts.

Does anyone feel sad and hopelessness when they see someone attractive?

I do. I feel sad for them that they’ll never get to know me.

With BA2 growth and vaccines waning…

So end of March, start of April things start getting ramping up?https://t.co/EIKhjWyixp

Fucking idiot.

At the end of April, infections will be 1/10 of what they are now. Covid panickers make reason cry.

Covid panickers are really ramping it up now. I wonder if it’ll continue after the pandemic recedes? I suspect so. It’ll be, “We can’t relax anything because the next pandemic is right around the corner!!!!!”

Those people really truly do need some sort of religion.

I think hard mode for me would be having to do the below in another language, like Latin or French or German.

Then it’d be fair.

I know 5 of the boy words and 12 of the girl words. I wonder how trans and gay people score! https://t.co/LocMmNdwgZ

I know all of the words, male or female. Were there hard ones on that list? The only one I wasn’t 100% certain about was “boucle,” because it’s misspelled. Should be “bouclé.”

I wish I were like normal people, in that I actually liked the things I am ridiculously good at. But mostly, I don’t.
