I can only really afford penny stocks at the moment, though it looks like one or two of those might be a bit ghosty, they just don't do anything.

I do have a mutual fund (and a TFSA) through the bank that I deposit a little bit into every month, been doing so for a few years now. I figured it was time to "diversify" a little bit, and there's no savings bonds here any more.

I have a managed mutual fund through my bank that I put $25 into every month. Also a TFSA, same amount.

Yes, I consider it little better than gambling.

I spread about $50 bucks around, including some doge and shiba coin. Also eth, but it seems to suck.

Also, this is one of the things I kind of have to mess around with to learn.

Yes, it closed at $14.22 yesterday.

The Alamos shares are worth a little over $19 as of yesterday closing.

Should I sell? Or hold on to them?

There used to be a mixed-race South African band around that time, too. Can't remember what they were called, I think they amounted to being a one-hit-wonder outside their home territory. Their video was on MuchMusic a LOT, though. Too bad it was part of the whole anti-apartheid propaganda.

And then we had Living Color, which gave us the excellent Cult of Personality.

Better to have no grandkids than human mutts for descendants.

Could still be sabotage. Not the pilot's fault at all, but someone, probably with maintenance clearance, who got in there and threw a monkeywrench in the works, possibly after making sure things were lined up more or less right.

"But it takes FIVE MILES to turn a ship around!" - CNN or one of those dumbfuck channels

Dude, they only had to veer off enough to miss the pillar. Instead, it ran right smack dab into it. Funny about that aim. I'm sure it doesn't take FIVE MILES to steer a bit to the starboard.

Considering Ukraine has the "they bombed the fuck out of civilians" card to play with rage, why SHOULDN'T they be behind it? I can see them wanting to deny it, though, to try to keep the moral upper hand in sheeple eyes.

Another Soviet-quality game more intent on delivering propaganda than on making anything anyone actually wants.

No thanks.

It seems like capitalism and democracy were indeed just stepping stones to something worse. They just needed to gather enough money to make corporate totalitarianism work.

True, that. I guess it could count as subversion; turns out the ONLY thing she's good at is the obstacle course.

And the only reason she got to be ruler is because she was different, and the mushroom dudes are just infatuated with that ... and in times of peace, I don't think those folks need much "leadership", they just need someone to look up to.

I hated that unnecessary girlboss bulshit with Peach in an otherwise pretty great movie.

I have more respect for Mario who had to gut things out instead of someone who is just somehow naturally perfect.

And remember, in those old books, dystopias tended to start at Population 8 Billion. They just jumped up the numbers as the population rose past 6.

They had a long bunch of simping apologizing before a showing of "The Shakiest Gun in the West" the other day, too.

It features bossy squaws and Pat Morita.

I liked the rather prescient storyline, where a megalomaniac uses the concept of Pokemon rights to hide his agenda of taking weapons away from the common folk.

Keep that in mind with the anti-"pitbull" bullshit, and note how every geenration they attack a different large dog.

Because they hate the idea that genetics defines them in any way at all.

Genetics is for "animals". Humans are magical beings made out of fairy farts, and the idea of humans being limited by nature offends them.

Note how they defy that genetics defines sex ... they use the word "gender" instead, and think that wearing dresses and cutting off their dick somehow makes a man a woman.

Mental retardation? Oh, well, that's all the "poisons", it can never be my shitty genetics that caused my kid's mental deficiencies ....

Humans hate thinking they're a part of nature until it comes time to justify killing other species.

They also seem to think that "eugemics" means "killing" .. and what the fuck is wrong with sterilizing some sexually aggressive retard with no impulse control? Or aggressive retards in general?

I once met this ... couple .. that were passed off as a "married" couple, because they openly talked about ... stuff .... until someone slipped that their parents were "rich jews" who abandoned them for being retarded ... the look on his face when I said "both pairs of parents?" told me they were what I suspected, fraternal twins .... imagine the monster they might have spawned in they hadn't been fixed back before they banned mandatory sterilization of these .. humans (they're not people. If a sign language using chimp can't be a person, then neither can a goddamned abomination.)

Um, how about no.

He lusted after his queen, and then ran into the woods to hook up with some forest princess to produce Galahad. Sounds pretty straight to me.

They're so hyperfocused on their own bullshit, they can't even realize that the story itself was a bit "progressive" for its time. Galahad the bastard was the one to find the Grail and be carried off in a heavenly chariot, leaving his buddy behind.
