Resources For Understanding The War Beyond The Bulletins
Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map, who is an independent youtuber with a mostly neutral viewpoint.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have good analysis (though also a couple bad takes here and there)
Understanding War and the Saker: neo-conservative sources but their reporting of the war (so far) seems to line up with reality better than most liberal sources.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent journalist reporting in the Ukrainian warzones.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Yesterday's discussion post.
i played the GME game, made a bit of $, lost some doing dumb shit after, then just bought some SPY etf to be safe later. now that's cratering.. but hey i feel better for not buying more shares of it because of a "feeling" months ago that turned out right i guess? gambling it is
I've honestly lost so much more if not for a few decent swing trades I made on tech. Except I bought one too many times and now I'm bagholding. I'm hoping for one more rip then I can cash out, otherwise eh AMD might be okay in a few years and save me from my weedstocks. I really don't know why I started doing this shit, delusions of greed probably if I'm being honest, or just an extra few bucks to treat myself for a change.
ehh.. capitalism sucks nothing wrong with trying to exploit a loophole to get slightly ahead. felt like there was a brief period where the system was so destabilized regular people could take advantage but still required crazy luck and timing. now the institutions are locking it all down again.
