I can only speak for myself, but as a Star Wars fan, I'm very aware it's fantasy. Shit man, it's got wizards.

I wonder what John Oliver is going to buy?

I thought about that. Apparently the short interest was so high they were charging shorts crazy interest rates to borrow it. You'd have to bet on a huge drop in a very short amount of time. I can't be bothered to look it up but I think it was something crazy like 40-50x a normal rate. One of the only reasons to hold was to charge short sellers interest, for a sane person anyway.

The 52-week high is just under $80. That would be intra-day though, maybe it never closed above $65.

Hopefully the big studios doing shit like this leads to a resurgence of true indie cinema. I won't hold my breath for it, but I'll hope.

Common misconception.

July and August were renamed. The original names were derived from five and six. The extra two months that threw everything off were January and February. When 5-10 were named January and February didn't even have names, it was just that cold period when there was no planting or harvesting. There were a bunch of other changes to the calendar over the centuries before we got where we are too.

He didn't fuck with anything. For them it was money well spent. Think of all the things that used to be coordinated and all the information shared on Twitter. That's gone, or at least seriously degraded, that's what they bought.

Lingua franca dude. I've never heard "hit the wall" used outside the man-o-sphere. Maybe not exclusively incel, but incel adjacent at least.

He's hated. But in a way that makes you want to see more of him.

I imagined work as a building with a big neon sign out front that said "work".

Yeah, they kind of had a point until they busted out the incel-speak at the end.

Careful with that. If you're not making estimated tax payments on your dividends (or other capital gains) every quarter or increasing your withholdings from wages to compensate, and you owe too much at the end of the year, you can get hit with penalties and interest.

For most people the quarterly dividends in their brokerage aren't enough to trigger that, but as your savings grows and quarterly dividends become significant they might.

 

I apologize in advance of this is too basic a question for this community.

I just learned about lexisnexis and went to their website to request my report, opt out of everything I could, and request my information be deleted.

Are there any other companies like this I should be aware of so I can make the same requests there?

If it matters, I'm in California and it's my understanding that I have a few more rights concerning this sort of thing than some others do.
