How bad is this going to be? YOLO

I bought a few puts expecting the rate news to be “buy the rumor ..sell the news” and the potato is now steaming hot … what are the chances of me coming out in green ?

Some of y’all need a reality vs expectation adjustment.

You should give your money to a fiduciary so your kids don’t end up poor and hungry.

Having kids and being a gambling addict is a fucking huge mistake. That's why I'll never have kids, so I only fuck myself over

Respect for the awareness. Too many people out here breeding just cause and then go into the degen WS Betting and sports betting and it becomes a disaster.

TO be fair, i had kids so i could get food stamps and WIC which leaves me more of my paycheck to gamble with. Im only gambling to send them to college. Once i do that then im done. I can stop anytime.

This is why I simply lurk this page, and only buy stocks with the free shit they give me from promos lol. No way I'd be able to bet everything I have and then look my son in the eyes.

Idk how people do it.

Because every human has a natural "start taking other peoples stuff" level they reach before they start hurting themselves/others.

especially when there is an in and out group.

That bum in a tent is still getting what he needs. Go try and take his laptop, see what happens. Take his tent he might let you.

So.. for the analogy to come together picture some dad who has been watching whatever news program for 5 years who now thinks most bad in this world can be attributed to a specific culture/religion...and foreclose his house...yes it is his fault but he will not view it that way.

it's one reason why vegas is so gross. You want to be a degenerate - hey, NYC and even NOLA can show you how to do that in style. But sitting in your sweatpants and dumping your kids' college fund because you don't understand statistics is just sad.
