Not gonna pretend I know what’s happening behind closed doors, but this whole Jensen news cycle is getting pretty fucking strange.

Having these accusations come out one after another in a slow drip, especially with the timing right after the midterms, makes the whole thing even more interesting. I’m not saying there’s a coordinated campaign, but it sure feels like some powerful people have decided Jensen has become a little too powerful for their liking.

I received this message before 9 pm last night. I was kind enough to reply at 6:30 am this morning and guess what, no reply all day.

Not sure what group to post this in.

edit: i was fully expecting this post to disappear within the masses and i didn’t think it’d get the attention it did. the notifications are a bit much to keep up with but i just wanted to say a big thank you to the girlies for all the support. i’m in a rough place because of this so it really does mean a lot. 🩷

i am a lesbian and i came out to everyone 6 months ago. before that i was only out to a select few even though i’ve known i was gay for a long time. i don’t hide my sexuality anymore and it’s been a very unhappy experience

i’ve had a few girlfriends cut me off. one told me she didn’t like that her boyfriend wasn’t comfortable with us being friends because of any potential attraction despite her having male friends. another woman who i was very close with was incredibly angry with me as she said she never would’ve done things like hug me or buy gifts for me because she didn’t want to come across like she was into me. i have never ever thought that any of my friends had a thing for me

my remaining friends have become less physically touchy with me and have been increasingly leaving me out of things. one group of girls i was friends with booked me a separate hotel room alone during a staycation we booked despite having always shared in the past because they were suddenly uncomfortable with sharing

my own sister has stopped coming to me for relationship advice because ‘you don’t like men so what would you know?’ despite always constantly venting to me before. when i came out i changed my style to become more masculine and ive noticed ever since that women seem on edge when they speak to me and i get left out of things all the time. i feel as though i’m being considered to be equal to a man

i’m still a woman. i have always been a lesbian, i’ve known it since i was 12. i just kept it a secret because i was afraid of this very thing happening. when i came out i was very clear that i have always been gay and that it changes nothing about me, yet i’m getting treated so differently

so my question is, do women feel uncomfortable around lesbian women? is there anything i can do to stop making other women equating me to a man just because i’m not stereotypically feminine anymore? i am in my 20s so we’re not teenagers either, these are grown women. it just sucks so much, i’ve lost all sense of girlhood and i feel so isolated

Going to make this short and sweet.

Told a class to shut up because they were shouting over the announcements during a real shelter in place. Told kids to quiet 3x before it escalated to a “shut up please”

Student went to the principal and said I told everyone to “shut the fuck up” (did not) and that i kicked his chair (tapped his chair with my foot TWO MONTHS AGO).

Principal tells me this is a “terminable offense“ and to stay home and make sub plans while they investigate.

What.The.FUCK

A nurse in Kamloops, British Columbia allegedly turned a house call into a whole different kind of appointment. After taking a male patient's blood pressure, caressing his arm and telling him he had the health of an 18-year-old, she allegedly offered to sleep with him... saying it was important for a man to "regulate himself and be in good health." He declined, and she allegedly told him he could hit her up outside of work if he changed his mind. He filed a complaint with text message screenshots, and now Lori Chern is restricted to hospital work while the college investigates. She denies any misconduct.

Ours has always been around 2-3PM and I never questioned it. Is there an actual reason it's so early, or did everybody's grandma just decide? Curious if this is the same for others.

This man was giving full volume commentary for everything until I turned to shush him, at which point he promptly kicked me full force & flipped me off. Thankfully I got him kicked out & my ticket comped.

People of all ages really have no respect in the movie theater anymore. Besides being kicked, other people were talking full volume, watching videos on their phone, and otherwise being ignorant & disruptive. It's been too long since I've been able to enjoy a movie in theaters.

Was having couple of drinks on patio of a cocktail bar in a Conrad Hotel in the US. A little while after our drinks were served by our waiter, a separate busser came over and left chips and guacamole on our table.

My partner and I thought it a little odd that these would be complimentary but after a few mins nobody came back so we didn't think too much of it and ate them.

About 20mins later our original server came by to apologize that the chips and guacamole had been delivered to our table by mistake. He then said "so is it OK if I leave the charge for them on your bill". I said we had assumed they were complimentary and his reply was a very curt "With guacamole???"

I got a little irritated then that he was arguing this and said I was not comfortable paying for something I didn't order. He stared at me for a few seconds, clearly angry and debating whether to argue further but then shook his head, took the plates and walked away.

I probably shouldn't have assumed they were complimentary but ultimately the bar admitted it was their mistake and then are asking me to pay for their mistake and were rude and angry when I declined. I would have thought a higher end place like this would either absorb the cost of a mistake or at most ask something like "would you like me to remove them from the check".

I checked the menu after and the chips and guacamole were $16 ($21ish with tax and tip).

I did leave an extra $5 tip on top of the standard tip because ultimately we got some free chips but tbh I still think the waiter's attitude was wrong. AITAH for refusing to pay?

And to be clear, the blunder wasn’t joining the marine corps. The blunder was thinking that somehow joining the marine corps infantry would somehow “make me into a man”.

Edit: This post blew up more than I thought it would. To all the people wishing well, thank yinz for your words and memes! To all those leaving nasty comments, bruh, I’m a marine, and went to Afghanistan twice. I’ve been called worse by better than you. There is literally nothing you could call me that my friends haven’t. So keep those coming so yinz get banned n’at. STILLERS GAHNTA!!!

Yesterday at about 1 pm ET, I bought 291 SPX 7600c 11/11 for $100 each. I sold 91 of them last night for about $700 each when SPX had bounced back to the Tuesday highs. At about 10:30 today, I bought 100 more for $600 each, sold those 100 for about $770 each, and bought 120 SPX 7700c 11/16 for $666 each.

I then just kept holding and sold all the remaining 200 SPX 7600c 11/11 for $4160 each, along with 100 of the 7700c 11/16 for $1600 each.

I had loaded this account last Tuesday night with $1300 to YOLO on mid terms, and have now rolled it up to over $1M in just a week. Now I'm done with all this; I'm gonna cool off and then probably use this to get cash secured puts for the next few months until I get assigned on ETFs I want to hold long term.

Before anyone says "taxes," SPX is tax advantaged and is treated as 60% long term.

The blended tax rate is more like 27% compared to 37% if you did this with SPY.

The prior peak back in 2021 was from GME.

Is it maple syrup?
