  • As a person who grew up with a creek full of ducks behind my house, I can say that rapey is just the beginning. I have witnessed multiple drownings by rape followed by hours of necrophilia. I have seen ducks following a vicious gang rape swimming around with bald necks from having all of their feathers ripped out.

    They are violent. I have seen males group up and rape and murder fellow males and then attack and rape the corpse for the rest of the day.

    When I see a protective mother duck having her babies chased around by kids, I stop them. “You have no idea what that poor girl endured to have that row of ducklings following her around. Leave her alone!”

    I shudder at the thought of a more violent animal.


  • I’ve already messed up at this point haha. I spent my whole life allowing myself to be exploited for a promise that never came. I mean, I guess it still could (not really, but in a sense I guess). I’ve been instructed to go get some cash when so and so dies, and though I’m sure it’s still there, new obstacles have entered the fold.

    I don’t know. If I can make enough to live today and buy a few beers I’m good.

    I’ve been an idiot all of my life.

    I’m going to take your advice though. I promise. Gonna get on that tomorrow. I recently made enough to increase my investing amount by 60%, which would be amazing for someone with actual money haha. I’ll throw that extra 60% into an IRA.



  • I don’t waste money I don’t have. I don’t follow anyone blindly.

    I’m disciplined. If I’m not where I want to be, I wait. I wouldn’t risk everything I have.

    I appreciate your concern, but if I lost every penny I have invested right here, right now, it would only hurt my feelings. I’ve already pulled out 10x what I’ve invested and I don’t get sad over big misses. I could have scooped up 200 free dollars this morning, but I didn’t.

    It’s small time. I’m poor, I have no debt, and I wouldn’t risk a penny more than I can handle. I never break my own rules, so I’m good.

    Seriously. I appreciate you.


  • This is me on many topics. I am so uninformed over the last year.

    I love Lemmy, but I’m in a smaller bubble than I was before too. There are a lot less political opinions on here. People are outright hostile to anything that doesn’t fit in a narrow window, and though I mostly agree with what passes through that window, my idea of the world is off because of it. (Example, my wife uses Facebook. We both voted for Harris, but she was certain Trump would win. She was seeing what everyone was saying and I wasn’t. Imagine my surprise when she lost the election so terribly. My little bubble had me convinced he didn’t stand a chance.)

    I try occasionally to open Reddit. I know that Lemmy hates stock traders, but Reddit is where you get the best info on that. I’m a stay at home dad who contributes entirely by trading so I need to look at what people are researching from time to time.

    I just can’t stand the Reddit app. I can’t stand clicking on ads without realizing it because of how they blend it in.

    I can’t stand the kind of greed that led to the decision that killed third party apps.

    I miss it, but not bad enough to have a subpar experience on there. That, and I believe in a federated social media future. Tech companies are garbage.
