  • All i thought reading this was, “Im super Hungary. I should do some cocaine to get rid of my hungar.”

    Prolly outdated sentiment, haven’t checked crypto prices in prolly over a year. For all I know it could be more stable than the actual market and they solved the issues they were having with monster wallets pumping and dumping. So im not here to give any advice or comment on your decision but I will give you my experience in kinda similar situation.

    I found that that the amount of work you will need to put in learning enough about crypto trading, asset managment, trading strategies and anything else it will take to turn enough of a profit to make it worth it, you will prolly in hindsight think, “it woulda been more efficient getting a second job and investing the paycheck.”

    Like I said, never fucked with crypto but I did go through a 3-5 year phase of being balls deep in day trading and trading options contracts. Lost about $10,000 in the first 3 months I gave it a try before I ever saw a single penny and still dont think I ever made the initial lost money back despite hitting big a bunch of times. Including but not limited to the gamestop explosion, the AMC shorting among other meme stock swings.


  • Id say every living president other than Obama has a record of supporting more deportations than Trump! Google says there were 17,000 deportations made last month which if expanded out to 48 months to cover his whole presidential term would give an estimated total of 800,000. Not sure what im missing here that is giving such a mismatch of totals but he is some how on pace for the least amount of deportations during any presidential term since before Reagan.














  • So this is the type of discussion I was hoping for. I honestly didn’t even mean to trigger so many people by bringing up sports when the whole showerthought started cuz I missed my local team’s subreddit.

    I can go on absolutely unhinged TED talks about how the local teams are trying to drain the city for taxes…

    Don’t even get me started, we are in the same paddle boat when it comes to the ownership and the league’s use of tax payer dollars. The fucking Bills just set some sort of record I think for the new stadium they built by the belligerently small amount of money the owners are going to be contributing. The fuckin thing is costing billions and its just about entirely funded by 2 channels from the same source, the people of our our community. 1 channel is thru taxes and the other is thru some PPE shit where if you want to buy season tickets you need to give them like $40,000 as a one time fee into of the season ticket cost and also commit to like 10 seasons to even be able to buy a season ticket.

    I know your reply will be “then why are you a fan still” so ill bashfully explain why in one word, community. The WNY community is my favorite part of the greater Buffalo/Niagara region and being apart of Billsmafia is such a huge part of it. We’ve never been a champion, until 5 years ago there were no bandwagons of fans looking to become Bills fans, its something you are just born into here. We put up with 8 ft snow storms, 17 years of missing the playoffs, losing 4 super bowls in a row, Damar Hamlin going into a freak occurrence of cardiac arrest and needing 10 mins of CPR to survive, and thats just the big stuff. At the end of the day tho, it forms a bond in the community like I’ve never seen anywhere else. When Josh’s Allen’s grandmother died, Billsmafia raised millions of dollars for his charity which came in $17 increments (his jersey number), now today there is an entire wing at Oshea’s Children’s Hospital dedicated to his grandmother’s name all funded by fans and member of the community. When we got dumped on with 6 ft of snow in 2 days, Bills players drover around house to house in skidsters plowing out people’s driveways. When Andy Dalton beat the Ravens against all odds and made it so the Bills would go to the playoffs breaking a 17 year long drought, Andy isnt even a Buffall Bills player he plays for Cincinnati but that didn’t stop Billsmafia from raising hundreds of thousands if not over a million dollars for Andy’s charity.

    The idiots who own teams and run the league can get fucked, ill never argue against that but the men and women within each and every organization who have their boots on the ground, they are all amazing humans busting their ass off to make theirs and our community the best they possibly can.
