Did anyone here ever play Warcraft 3 custom games?
I spent a lot of time in my youth trawling for cool custom maps, only for my friends to reject them in favor of DotA again and again.

Hasn't Milei tightened up residency requirements?
Yeah, but in practice it's just for the browns (and occasionally the Russians).

You could probably come to Argentina, but the welfare you get here, if any, would probably be significantly less than what you get in Alaska.

It depends on whether you had a systematic strategy to get those returns, or if you just were very overweight Google and Nvidia.

Well, as far as PMC people go. Everyone above the Capricorn tropic loves him, and below normies and progressives love him, and cons don't (it's a bit more complicated than that, but it's roughly accurate).

Bad Bunny is an industry plan
True
Latin Americans don’t actually like him,
Untrue, sadly

Can't you deduct mortgage interest payments from your income taxes? That would make it "not quite" tax free.

It's fine, man. A lot of people have not lived (as investors) through a big drawdown or a prolonged bear market, and therefore think more leverage = unalloyed good, but it is taking on more risk. There is a reason your broker won't give you 500k to put on the s&p.

The formula is a bit opaque, but creators are compensated for views, and YouTube Premium views are worth more than regular ones (among regular ones, there's also differences based on their geography, etc. due to the ad spend they generate).

That is what YouTube premium is, though the percentage that YouTube takes is probably higher than you'd like.

Over 20% of Venezuela's population has already emigrated, it's unlikely to ramp up significantly.

While it's literally true that Venezuela is not a narco-state, it's hard to imagine it getting any worse than it already is. The reason it's not a narco-state now has probably more to do with the surrounding economics (oil is more valuable than drugs) than the current government's competence.

Well, IQ is heritable from both parents, so a "Female IQ shredder" is just an IQ shredder.
Of course, the other element of the metaphor is that you're not just shredding for the sake of it: there have been a lot of productivity gains from the agglomeration effects of cities. "IQ shredders" points to the trade-offs present in urbanization.

The Somali fraud YouTuber is also a Mormon, so it checks out.
As I understand it, this is part of the problem: since your loss ratio is floored at 80%, you don't have a strong incentive to manage costs. There is actually a bit of the opposite one: the higher the costs, the higher the premiums, and the bigger is the base from which you derive profits.

Given the gender ratios, they're probably some of the least safe places.

Because it's a silly point to make in the context of whether they are acting on their stated beliefs, and whether that paid off vs a reasonable benchmark.
Absent that, it's pointless to discuss which or what asset performed better, should've bought Banco Santander stock.

I hate commissions as much as anyone, but that doesn't seem outrageous for this kind of strategy, it's probably far cheaper than trading it on your own, considering the outrageous commissions for futures contracts.

Those are different trades, though. (Warning: speculation on the price fluctuation of assets) The gold rally is due to a combination of "debasement trade" (the idea that current debt levels are unsustainable and the only way out is via printer) and a bet on multipolarity (USD status as reserve currency being threatened, due to a variety of reasons), silver is a speculative derivative of the same trade, as far as I know there is a lot of silver to mine everywhere still.
What @thejdizzler is talking about is a structural undersupply of copper, long term. I'm not actually sure if copper futures are the best expression of that trade, I assume you've bought the longest dated ones available?

Did he not already lose to the far less impressive Tommy Fury?
Edit: what I mean is, this doesn't seem like a part of this "story arc" progression.

Is food, excepting beef, really more expensive in real terms? Or do you mean like eating out?

If you're going to mod that comment for incivility, you need to call out the "Mhmm". Peak millennial snot filler word

If you're an AI maximalist, then anything that doesn't happen before AGI is basically meaningless: Climate change, peak oil, demographic collapse, etc.
It is real in the sense that it exists, but it seems to be blown way out of proportion.
The more conspiratorially minded believe it's a media op to distract from congress passing a labor law that will significantly reduce some workers rights.
