Yeah. The only thing keeping me Sane was the Insanity around here. I was looking forward to following "Overnights Incredible Journey" but I assume he's gone "dark". I assume VZ and Dest are in "time out". But I'm just here for the Comedy ATM unfortunately.
That's correct. How long that will be is still TBD. It may be permanent because that last round of back and forth between them really pushed me over the edge. I'm pretty disappointed in both of them.
I can only imagine how difficult it must be dealing with us Lunatics. I did create an "Argument Thread' a few years back, so people who have "a beef' with another person can express themselves. Maybe if all off topic arguments that go on too long are required to be continued in there? https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/argument-thread.371937/ It's like the Colosseum here, the Peasants don't mind watching two combatants hurl insults at each other. Have you watched Mad Max 3 Beyond Thunderdome?
@Baron I'm very disappointed in you. You're taking the EnterTainment out of ET (Overnight gone "dark", nowhere for VZ and Dest to hurl insults at each other. Next you'll be banning Mickey and his Jihad against Jesus)
Mickey's got some valid beefs with religion in general, and gives out a lot of understandable info for investing in stocks (one of the easiest ways to financial independence, in my opinion). The dueling multinicks also give out some useful advice and info. And the crazy loco music lover, well, unless you like his genre of grunge, it's debatable what he bringz to the table. But we are guests in this house. The master has set rules of decorum. It's his house.
Yes, I agree that "the loco music lover" had to be reined in. But since he was reined in he was a benign Loco. His plan to make a road trip to visit Baron like they were old Pals was hilarious. Terrifying for Baron, but hilarious for us. That kind of delusion/comedy is hard to find. VZ and Dest are masters in there respective areas, which now includes comedy too.
In my experience narcissists always assume they are 100% right and want to prove everybody else is wrong. It was less taxing to interact with people here when the bear market was going on (2022). So much disagreements since the bottom hit. I mean the best memes on r/WSB was right at the bottom in October 2022. Endless fuck your calls memes.
I think ET needs a self-lockout timer as social media does generally. It is easy to say just have the willpower but even on the spectrum you see here from actually smart guys to last-brain-cell-so-lonely, the dopamine addictions are real and found across the board. Certainly corruptable people are as a rule more interesting and provide entertainment but they need ways to help themselves sometimes. I'm sure a Xenforu dev or other could whip this up.
