Commoners shouldn't be able to day trade. It's super risky and expensive behaviour.

I'm a former series 4/24/34 with 20 years experience in risk management and can explain a tied stock exemption to trading ahead and can calculate options deltas in my head. I can calculate maker/taker credits into my trades. I'm the kind of person who should be allowed to do this stuff because I understand the risks and fees.

I don't do it precisely because I do understand how risky it is for someone like me without a ton of money in the bank to eat those losses.

Oh my god this is so dumb. Some finance bros convinced a bunch of retail traders they are freedom fighters who should sacrifice their money for The Cause and now meme-driven stock volatility is the socialist revolution.

The new narrative has arrived: this must be “finance bros” or Russia or Gamergate secretly behind this, it can’t possibly be the plebes who must not be permitted to rock the boat.

Every day I work my was off only to be bitched at by moron fucking mongoloid downs syndrome cock suckers.

I'm taking classes so I can learn skills for a new job but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna hate that job too. It it's better paying hopefully and that's expected of me.

I try my best to treat my wife well and she's usually pretty great but i know there is a respect discrepancy. Don't ever marry a person who is clearly smarter than you. It leads to a power imbalance. And the only reason she's with me is because I'm a fucking simp but its not even like she puts out. I have to get for hand jobs and she hasn't had sex with me since before we were married. She blames me. Says thay there is no ppint in getting turned on since I have erectile dysfunction. I guess she is right.

Meanwhile my coworkers are passing me for promotions despite the fact I have 7 years more experience then them. Fucking a kid that has been doing this job for 4 months is hired ranked than me

The very first step to overcoming transphobia is to not express it in public.

I forget, which school of psychology is it that suggests the most healthy expression of coping with negative or unhealthy emotions is to bury it deep deep down, internalise it and then cover it with shame?

These are the same people that shamed a female porn star into suicide because she dared not to do a scene with a gay performer because of an HIV scare that was happening at the time within the gay porn community. These are also the same people that condescended to female Formula 1 cheerleaders and celebrated making them jobless. Any attempt by those women to assert their agency with selling their sexuality was dismissed in a "we know better than you what's good for you," sort of way, aka "internalized misogyny."

I'm quite saddened by how dismissively this site treats the usage of a certain ableist slur beginning with r. I'm incredibly dissapointed by the fact that I keep seeing users casually using that word like it's not incredibly offensive. I'm even more disappointed at the fact that such posts usually don't receive any major mod action. Most are completely unmoderated, and I've even seen some of the more severe cases (e. g., directly using that slur against another person) receive very short bans (either 3 days or 2 weeks).

As an example, there have been a couple of recent threads based on calling out horrible people who've used the word. I'm not going to link them since I really want to make clear this isn't about re-litigating any specific bans, but they should be easy to find by simply searching for the slur in question. Both were based on articles/tweets that deliberately chose not to use the word, fully knowing how offensive it is. To me, seeing this was awesome - it felt like a great effort towards inclusitivity. Meanwhile, the comments on resetera didn't give a fuck and were filled with multiple people casually throwing out the word. For a forum that supposedly prides itself on being an inclusive space, this just feels completely inappropriate. I'm assuming those users weren't trying to offend anyone, but while I obviously can't speak for everyone I find that word hurtful regardless of its context, and especially hurtful when used to comment on an article that explicitly tried to do a nice thing by avoiding it. I have seen a small number of people getting banned for similar posts (i. e., using this word without explicitly trying to insult someone) so I know some of you understand this to some extent, at least. Which just makes it so much more saddening when nothing is done about most of such posts.

Knowing how moderation on this site works, I'm obviously not expecting such posts to receive any long-term bans but it would be nice to see something, whether that's a warning, a mod post, or even an automated word filter asking users to reconsider their word choice before posting. Even something small like that would go a long way towards making this forum feel more inclusive, because with the way this and similar issues are treated right now I sure as hell don't feel welcome posting in a lot of threads on this site. At the very least, you could remove offensive words/memes/images from posts that you do moderate. I've seen you do this a couple of times (which is much appreciated, btw.) so I really don't see why this can't be standard for all such posts.

On a related topic, there's also the use of a certain two-letter ableist 4-chan meme. The last time I brought this up an ex-moderator assured me this was bannable but a quick search shows that this isn't the case at all, with people using it often only getting a warning, or not even that.

I checked the recent threads that I think you're referring to, and I see a couple uses of the word, but used in a way where they are essentially quoting the person in the article using it. It's one thing if a user says something like "that's/you're r*tarded," it's another when being used to highlight the thinking of the person they are referring to. Perhaps the users could have used quotes around the word to better effect, but the context of the post shows that they aren't trying to be offensive or endorsing such language.

We agree the word is offensive and in the former case we will most definitely continue issuing bans for their usage, but in situations where people are only using language to quote and criticize others using it as a slur, it's a little different.

As for the two-letter term, I assume you mean "re" and its variations? We're aware of the term, and I know we generally hit those pretty hard, so if there are some we missed (which is possible), then I'd be happy to look at them if you can PM me the posts. Though, I will say the same general rule applies like I mentioned for the r-word.

We'll also work on updating the FAQ to specifically educate people on this term, as I feel like it's one of those words that some people just picked up online and don't really know its connotation. Hopefully that can nip some of these incidents in the bud.

I know how the people in those threads used the word. I know they (probably, can't really tell with this forum sometimes tbh) weren't trying to offend anyone. I acknowledged that in the original post. That's why I specifically said I'm not expecting long-term bans for posts like that. The issue is that even when people aren't trying to be offensive, the word still hurts people. Not as much as when people are trying to be offensive, sure, but it still does. Even when people aren't trying to be offensive, there's still a very clear way to phrase that without directly quoting the word. And while that probably seems like an insignificant detail to most people, it makes a world of difference to me. Like, I'm not going to spend time writing out my life story (just writing this out is honestly exhausting enough), but I can safely say that the word can be a lot more hurtful than some might realize.

To me, this isn't really much different than people using that shitty Batman meme image, which I've actually seen you ban (warn? idk.) people for. I'm hoping the reason you banned that post was because you know how hurtful the word can be, in which case I'm not really sure how the intent of "I'm just trying to post a funny meme" is all that different from the intent of "I'm just quoting a person while deliberately using an offensive word the actual article/tweet chose not to use". There's a reason the articles/tweets the posts were based on didn't use it, and it would be the absolutely amazing if this forum could move into that direction as well.

To reiterate, I'm not asking for those posts to be banned. Ideally, I'd like to, but I know that's probably unreasonable on a forum like this. Instead, I'd just like to see something that at least tries to move the forum in a more inclusive direction. The FAQ suggestion you make is one example of little things that could make this forum more inclusive. I know I'm not the only one who brought up issues with this forum and ableism, so I'd settle for at least seeing some indication that you care about stuff like this. A simple "hey, this word hurts people so try not to use it unless absolutely necessary" mod post in threads that are filled with people using the word, for example. Or simply consistently removing clearly offensive content instead of only doing it in extremely rare cases. I suppose the main reason I'm actually writing this is to at least show that some of us care these things. Seeing the response essentially imply that I'm wrong for finding the word hurtful in that context is the exact opposite of that.

And since you didn't touch on this point at all, the fact that directly using the word to insult other people (either on this forum or outside) sometimes only results in a 3-day ban is baffling. Everyone knows the word is incredibly offensive, yet people are able to use it and only get a slap on the wrists. I don't want this specific complaint to be lost among everything else because it's probably the most important one. Insulting another poster in such a way is a clear perma-ban on most other forums I visit so it's legit baffling that it's so different here.

Also, I honestly don't understand how you could read my post and think that replying with that word would be appropriate. I made it very clear that the word is hurtful to me. Putting a single star into it doesn't help at all. Writing this out is painful enough without responses like this.

The issue is not the mod team missing posts. That's understandable on a forum this size. It's that the ones you don't miss barely get punished. I did a quick search for a couple of variants of the word and out of 21 recent posts I found (and those were posts directly, unironically using the meme - not quoting someone else), 9 got nothing at all, 7 got a warning, 2 were banned for 1 day and 1 was banned for 3 days. Two of them got lengthier bans for additional reasons. Even ignoring the ones the moderation completely missed, most just got a warning. I don't see how anyone could call that "generally hitting those pretty hard". Maybe that's just a bad sample, idk., but it still seems like giving a warning is the default response. If I'm wrong about this I'd be happy to hear so.

Thanks for this. Though I'm not sure anyone actually reads the FAQ so I'm assuming you'll point people towards that once you update it.

Just another example of the major US-centric slant taken by the mods. People are much more likely to be comfortable with the word "cunt" being used in public here than the word "distinguished mentally-challenged fellow".

But hey, ban a bunch of non-US users for ignorance of the myriad words that are offensive to even the smallest minority groups in the US and don't do fuck all about a highly offensive word that belittles one of the most vulnerable groups in society.

Great mod team you got there Hecht you fucking dickhead.

In the 21st century, facts are multiple choice answers.

Or in meme terms:

interesting choice of meme, given the attitude displayed is that there is no reasoning with 'trumpists' and no point talking to them, or even treating them like human beings really, leaving you.... what? as an option to deal with half your country.

i mean new horizons is such a barebones experience compared to the variety of the earlier games… Pocket Camp is a better AC game.

Sorry just needed to laugh at this one.

Contrarian olympics never fail to disappoint. Never thought AC would be popular enough for a "normie backlash" though.
