    Also, most of the people that believe this stuff are such smug assholes about it.

     

    Like, one of them was the guy I had a bet with over whether or not Trump would be President after the 20th.

     

    Guess what? I obviously didn’t get the money. In fact, he’s now trying to get ME TO PAY HIM.

     

    Screenshots plz

    We should be glad when people stop participating in things that are harmful to themselves and others, and whatever posture be promotes people not doing those things further is the one we should take. It’s difficult to know what that is, though I feel certain that shunning isn’t the answer.

     

    Shunning is a behavior exhibited by a lot of cults. We shouldn't emulate that. Since leaving my former religion, which seems like 90% a cult in hindsight, I have been shunned with different intensities by a lot of people I care about. But I've also been loved and accepted for who I am by people in and out of said cult since leaving. I don't want to go back to a place where people think I'm a wolf in sheep's clothing. All that to say: Treating former Qs poorly might encourage them to go back to what they're comfortable with.

     

    And, if I'm being 100% honest, I do get a big laugh whenever I see a screenshot on Twitter of a Q who is coming to the realization and is saying his entire family thinks s/he's stupid and whatnot. It's funny because, well it's just funny. But also, I feel like I can empathize with that person a lot and I'd want to be the first one extending my hand out to bring them to the light side.

    Jeff Bezos to relinquish role as Amazon CEO in the third quarter

    I read on Twitter somewhere that he's stepping aside to focus on his environmental company and space company or whatever. It's hilarious because a lot of these CEOs that step down are like "I want to focus on my health/family/whatever." And Bezos seems butthurt that some tech douche is richer than him now so he wants to go focus on his spaceships and be the richest guy in the world again.

    Looks like Ameritrade and Schwab have taken a dump too. 

     

    I haven't been able to get into my Schwab account for a week. I wasn't even trying to get in to do this stuff. I try resetting my password and it says it doesn't recognize anything. I tried calling them on Friday and the person who helped me said she couldn't get into her password reset thing. I'm currently on hold again.
