u/TheAmeliaMay, I really appreciate you standing up for me when I was banned.

And of course everyone else too, but I never told Tam.

hey, you flirting with my lady? best what yourself.

Hell no! Tam is a prohibitionist, and I rather like drugs and booze.

My bread usually sucks but today I made two. A plain one the wife and I ate, and one with Everything but the Bagel seasoning. The plain one was delicious. The other one was for my father but I didn't see him for Father's Day.

Normally we get him old scotch but we're saving for a road trip. I mean hell, we ate bread for dinner. What was that book about Pip and the criminal? They ate bread and butter. I did make a honey butter blend, that was tasty.

I'll see him later today and give it to him. His mother used to make homemade bread and my Mom is like fuck that noise. I don't blame her, bread is hard. But I thought he'd like it and it's way cheaper than good scotch.

Ok, well if you're making bread anyway you have to try these:

https://sugarspunrun.com/easy-homemade-biscuits/

It works well with slightly diluted half and half, if you're feeling fancy. Salted butter, 2 tsp salt instead of the one-- flavorless biscuits are a sin. They're good plain, but if you add in maybe 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 4 oz of finely shredded seriously sharp Cabot cheese. Possibly something else, but I'm bouncing around on around 2 braincells right now and most recipes that I alter are just grandma-style where it's random piches and handfuls of whatever I'm feeling at the time.

Edit: Don't fuck with the dough too much. Get it together, fold it over 4-5 times, and roll it out to about 1/2 inch. Use a sharp knife and just slice out the biscuits that way.

[–][deleted] 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

Thanks, I love biscuits!

[–][deleted] 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

It might have been 2 oz of the cheese. I was thinking about the size of the block and the thought struck me. 4 oz might leave you and your wife not able to shit for a few days, and overly cheesy.

[–][deleted] 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

I specifically eat a lot of cheese bc of IBS. Foods that slow me up are good.

[–]NodeThis is my flair. There are many like it, but this one is mine. 4 insightful - 4 fun4 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 4 fun -  (4 children)

White Lily Unbleached Self Rising Flour, 5-lb bag

Just arrived yesterday, so I am set for making biscuits.

[–][deleted] 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (3 children)

I can't vouch for how they'll turn out using self rising flour. I think you'll have to watch your baking powder ratio, since it's got some in there already.

[–]NodeThis is my flair. There are many like it, but this one is mine. 3 insightful - 4 fun3 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 4 fun -  (2 children)

It'll have to be better than my last attempt. Unlike my moms and grandmoms biscuits, they were like hockey pucks and pretty flat.

[–][deleted] 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

[–]NodeThis is my flair. There are many like it, but this one is mine. 4 insightful - 4 fun4 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 4 fun -  (0 children)

That's entirely possible. My baking efforts are very infrequent.

I lived on ramen noodles and canned tuna for days at a time when I was in school. I read a journal from a great.....great grandfather who was in the Confederate States Army and he wrote about getting a palmful of grits as a daily ration. Sometimes only bread is ok. I hope you got to spend some good, quality time with your father.

[–]superfox 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

those guys that lift weights in prison and get all blown up with huge muscles, their food of choice is ramen noodles.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

Free expired gas station food, and bean and cheese burritos were my college staples. My friend worked at a gas station and they were allowed to eat the expired stuff. It was still good, just couldn't sell it any more. Used to eat these packaged chili cheese dogs, but I used fresh buns. It was pretty good despite how it sounds.

Grits beats hard tack any day, although both are pretty meh.

I saw my father yesterday. He seemed happy I didn't forget about him, although it was late for Father's Day.

[–]Zapped 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Yes! I used to buy frozen bean & cheese burritos by the case. Those were around $0.30 each. The ramen was $0.12 each when bought by the case. I remember getting all the free Panera Bread pastries I wanted because of a similar situation as your gas station food.

I haven't had any hard tack, but we are thinking about making some, just because. I love grits with butter.

u/Enza, you excited for today? Never been excited for a Monday before. I can't wait for the market to open!

Ayyyyyy!!!!!

You know I’m excited for erry market day! I think a lot has changed since we last spoke though, and if the Moass does happen, I should be giving you a dispensary instead of a vape.

Welcome back dude, I hope you’ve been well! One day in /u/d3rr’s hands & SaidIt is getting better already! You just noticed you were unbanned?? I hope someone told you to check! Lmfaoooo!

It's so interesting to watch, especially all the borrowed shares trying to drag down the price. I love sales!

I was here as u/Dinosaurysus. I didn't deny it if anyone figured it out but I didn't advertise it. I didn't want to put anyone in a awkward situation. Being deplatformed sucks. I've been more active on Reddit following the stonks and crypto but there's so much hate, not on the financial subs, but the normal ones. It's just isn't a substitute for here and all my internet buds.

If Moas happens, you can build that dispensary on my island lol.

Awww shit that was you? I forgot who they were.. I think /u/JasonCarswell may remember, but before you were here we had this user almost two years ago who would constantly delete their account.

I don’t really know anything about them, but we had a running joke of “hide-and-seek” going as I’d always end up replying to their new accounts, befriending them, and then them asking me how I knew it was them/if I knew, and them deleting their accounts shortly after. They did this with a few other users too.

This was back way before it was sus to have a new account and all the trolling. They were super down to earth and chill, I remember we’d have interesting convos. I know users use socks here, especially when b8, but between all the new troll accounts coming through, I don’t play “hide-and-seek” anymore - I did think /u/Dinosaurysus was chill and now I’m putting everything together with what you’ve said to me on that account 😂

What happened, I thought you weren’t into GME?! Did you actually read about what the fuck is going on? It’s insane - even Black Rock is involved and is holding an insane amount of GME (they’re part of agenda2030 - they’re buying up American neighborhoods and outbidding families by ridiculous amounts like 50 million + so there’s no way a middle class family can afford the home, and turning the homes into “single family rentals”).

It’s honestly insane what’s going on rn - I just remember you joking it’d fuck with your weed money, you hopped on? If you did, good for you dude! It’s insane what’s going on rn, I really wonder how this will end. Obviously I have faith I gme, I’ve been holding since it was at 40. It’s the system I don’t have faith in. But that’s what this is about for me more than anything - hurting the system, and apes are definitely doing that.

And ironically, I find super stonk more friendly than SaidIt these days. Still, fuck reddit, it’s the community I fuck with.

[–][deleted] 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

this user almost two years ago who would constantly delete their account.

He's still around. He makes good comments then nukes his account for another. I've replied to him only to see he's already gone.

What happened, I thought you weren’t into GME?

RH kinda fucked me on GME, I signed up in 2017 but my account was never validated. I forgot about it until this whole thing and then I was emailing them for weeks to try and fix it.

I ended up going to Fidelity but GME was where it is now by that point. I got into AMC low, and I'm poised to buy into GME but with limited funds I've been watching for a nice dip.

What Blackrock is doing is disgusting, I've been reading about that

I just remember you joking it’d fuck with your weed money,

I quit smoking weed, not for specifically GME but investing in general. I just have a Delta 8 vape atm and no bud. Not sure it's helping, the wife spends everything she can get her hands on anyways.

She keeps wiping out the joint account saying it's in her personal savings for our trip. Pretty sure there's no money in there. Probably all spent on phone games.

And ironically, I find super stonk more friendly than SaidIt these days.

Amcstonk too. The Ape community is fantastic. I see that as what we could all be if we stopped letting our political and financial masters divide us.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Respect, for everything you just said! I can tell you’ve been reading the DD, and I think your wife will be happy with your investments from the sound of things 😘 Also great job on cutting back on the cannabis!! I need to too, tbh, but I feel like it’s gonna be a part of my life forever now that i started using it medically for epilepsy 5 years back or so unless they come out with a new generation of anti epileptics.. which they don’t seem to be doing, they’re looking at cannabis for future anticonvulsant pills.

Honestly, when it comes 2 GME, I just wonder what shit they’re gonna try to pull. You know they’re gonna try to pull shit (we’re apes but the shit flinging never stops - and it’s not our shit on the walls, doesn’t smell like it). But half of me thinks they may not - the government has everything to win by letting this unfold now that the cat is out of the bag (citadel really should have let this unfold in Jan/feb and given everyone their 1k gain per share - I think that’s why black rock is investing so much and holds a long position in gme); apes don’t have tax havens to move their money over to. We’d all be paying millions, potentially billions for some, in taxes. Whereas hedge funds like citadel put everything into offshore accounts to minimize the taxes they pay.

Citadel also pretty much fucked the whole game up for everyone, by overplaying their hand and being too obvious, to the point that we have retailers who are holding, high or low, dip or increase, diamond handed, that were normies (this whole process taught everyone involved how fucked, corrupt and messed up this matrix/simulation is), who have now witnessed how the media manipulates narratives, how deep the “swamp truly gets” (fucking talking about dark pools, DTCC rule changes, shoutout 002 and how even if you don’t ever participate in the stock market, your life is ruled by it. Cancer cures have been shot down into the dirt by already-billionaires just to make more money and prevent money from being lost. They woke these people up). If this all unfolds well, we’re going to have wealthy, well-educated apes who just spent 6 months studying finance and learned what they should be teaching to finance students in Uni during their their four years (but don’t). Not only that, every ape is now truly awoken to the “ways of corruption“ & corruption of the world itself and how the world works - the illusion of “the free market” has been rippppppppppped.

I really hope to see you on the moon mayne, there’s no doubt that’s where our rocket is headed, I just wonder what type of asteroids are heading our way. Good luck to you and your wife, and remember if any of the stonk communities go dark as we start rising in price, Never Gonna Give You Up and gangnam style on YouTube comments section is where all the apes are meeting up.

https://www.twitter.com/heyitspixel69 also in case of blackout, he’s a mod from super stonk and pixel does the daily morning DD’s (his shit has given my brain many wrinkles - his dd’s were what really got me into everything and gave me a solid concept of how the market works, and how people think/it’s supposed to work. They were the foundation needed to read the more big brain DD’s).

edit:

And I didn’t even address Robinhood. Fuck do I hate them. That’s how I got started too; thankfully I transferred xx shares outta there months ago. Now I have two shares in there I bought for 179, I still had 75 dollars in my RH account for the ACAT fee they were supposed to charge but made Fidelity pay. I used that 75 in RH to fuck around and swing and day trade, and ended up making enough to buy two shares of gme. Fidelity finished the transfer on their end; it’s been a month and Robinhood says they’re “working on it”; a lot of apes can’t get their shit out of Robinhood right now. I’m glad you’re out and into fidelity.

I actually use two brokers now lol, fidelity and TD because of how paranoid RH made me, and if I’m gonna take a serious shot at this once in a lifetime opportunity, I don’t wanna miss. I match each share I buy in fidelity in TD, so half of my shares are in TD, half in fidelity.

Lemme also just share this rly quick for anyone reading:

**And just another reminder - Robinhood is responsible for at least one suicide that shouldn’t have happened that we know of.

https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/alex-kearns-robinhood-trader-suicide-wrongful-death-suit/

”The day after Alex took his own life, Robinhood sent an automated email suggesting the trade had been resolved and he didn't owe any money.

"Great news!" The email read, "We're reaching out to confirm that you've met your margin call and we've lifted your trade restrictions. If you have any questions about your margin call, please feel free to reach out. We're happy to help!"**

I remember [deleted]. I'm sure there was more than one. A couple said "I'm a fan" in better words, and I had assumed it was the same fan once, and other times I was resuming conversation with what I thought were their new aliases. It was confusing. No one's done that much for a while.

You good with accounting or just a creative who invests a bit?

And I’m glad you remember! There was one person who was a constant, because I’d talk to them in PM’s after I’d find them out for a day or so before they deleted their account so we had inside jokes, it was the same person for me. Apparently they’re still around tho?

[–]JasonCarswellMental Orgy 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

I don't know. How can I? All I know is that there were at least 2 that were both fans of mine and [deleted]. It became apparent they had different styles. Maybe it was only ever the 2. One was obviously more active. I still see [deleted] now and then, but I have no idea if it's them or not. They haven't engaged me for a long time. Maybe my tone has changed as I'm focused more on doing things that discussing stuff, plus COVID happened - or they got tired of my shit.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

I don't know. How can I?

Nah dude, I was just thanking you for confirming they existed! I agree with you 100%, there def could have been more than one!

I remember the account name they (or one of them) used to use now tho, it’d be /u/Issues1–9. Then they started using a different name.

So you invest. Being business savvy is an important skill for anyone, including creatives, if they want to be "successful". Sadly I didn't get that message when I was young and I'm not good at it.

But do you do accounting? Have you interest in it? Cassandra Team will need transparent accounting and such. And eventually so will /s/GlossedAndProfound for a production management cooperative. At present I'm just thinking of maintaining a wiki table/list as an open ledger with accessible history for all to see. It may get more complex in time if these endeavours have any success.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (10 children)

Remember, I’m a neuropsych major that’s about to graduate - I knew very little about investing until the beginning of this year. I keep my ear to the ground and see how people are moving; based on that, as well as all the research/DD I read, I felt it was a good time to invest.

I was already interested in investing somehow but didn’t know how - so I slowly silver and gold stacked (mostly silver) for a few years when it was like 12-13 an oz. That’s what got me into charts; I noticed silver was following a similar cycle it did after its boom in 2012 after the housing crises that made some investors millionaires.

I’m honestly not an investor, I’m more of a culture person - for example, if I was a parent when Pokémon Cards first came out before Nintendo’s stock increased, I would have definitely invested as I would be watching parents (including myself prolly) spend hundreds, if not thousands on these pieces of paper kids are using like currency. Those are the things I look for now if I’m going to invest; I take all outside shot into consideration including demand and mass psychology.

Tl;dr: Art and creativity are my main areas & so is neuropsych, but by no means am I good at finances, I have a lot to learn. I don’t think I’d be able to help you in that aspect, at least not yet. This investment I’m currently in is a once in a life time thing - it won’t happen again as they’ve already passed rules and amendments to make sure it doesn’t, and it was the perfect storm between the Covid relief bill giving Wall Street and hedge funds a money printer to short brick and mortar businesses into the ground, and them being too greedy, underestimating how retarded we are - the main hedge fund fighting us is citadel and they’re dying (one hedge fund has already collapsed due to being short in gme and abusing the market), they have AI algorithms meant to predict & take advantage of two emotions: fear and greed. This is why they pump a stock up, people get FOMO, invest, then hedgies short the fuck out if It trying to make retailers sell out of fear of losing their money (which has been working for decades) - we aren’t selling. We’re just buying and holding.

[–]JasonCarswellMental Orgy 1 insightful - 3 fun1 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 3 fun -  (9 children)

neuropsych

In 3 sentences or less, explain to a layman like me what that entails.

In 3 more sentences, explain how you might cross it over with your creative side. (ie. Make video essays about it.)

Can you still follow culture despite the dualities of mind they're cleaving? (ie. SJW vs everyone, Left vs Right, White vs everyone, gender wars, etc) I almost feel like all bets at stability and/or predictability are off. And very soon we'll be fighting for survival.

Do you see the crash coming this fall?

[–][deleted] 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (8 children)

I study what pharmaceuticals do to your neurological (neuro-chemical really) environment in your brain, as well as what neurological environments are commonly found in specific disorders (like depression, schizophrenia or addiction), these things can be measured by fMRIs and other tools (and better treated as apposed to basic talk therapy and treating everyone like their depression or anxiety is a blanket experience, and prescribing them the same dangerous pharma meds without finding out the true cause for their feelings, as depression for example is a side-effect of something being wrong, neurologically or otherwise, not an illness in itself). I’m against most pharmacy meds and have studied more safe alternatives like Ketamine therapy for depression for example; I’ve received ketamine therapy myself and discovered it from a brain cognition course I took (ketamine increases and takes advantage of neuroplasticity, or the brains ability to repair itself, it’s theorized rn ketamine works via glutamate, and the kappa and mu opioid receptors).

My main area of research is autism and childhood development though.

But basically a “yes” to everything else you asked.. i think you should know me better by now, do you really think I’m a normie lol? I know about the markets, I know what they do, i know who hedge funds like black rock answer to, I know about agenda 2030, I know about the same things as you.. I’m sure I know more than you in certain areas and you more than I, as well, but the basics, I think we both have pretty much covered.. I am on SaidIt after all.. if in doubt you can always check my top/post history..

I'm not certain, maybe the flowers aren't getting fertilized, you can use a cotton swab to artificially inseminate the flowers. Just gently rub the swab in all the flowers for pollen transfer.
