No bulli diaperbro

Well, what a day. I'm going to take a shower and hear someone knocking on the door. It was been an old friend from college. I was really nervous because no one had come to visit me for at least five moths. We talked about everything, and i told him that i love cute boys in stockings and a skirt, so he looked at me like i was perverted faggot and quickly left.

It seems like i've lost someone in my life again.

The market has evolved into a deep learning neural network botnet trained on human psychology and emotion that can predict your next move with 99.9% accuracy. Every keystroke, mouse movement, google search, accelerometer reading of your phone, the temperature, pressure, humidity, latitude, longitude, and altitude of your room, the phases of the moon, your current metabolic energy expenditure, heart rate, blood pressure, what you ate for lunch, and how big of a shit you took this morning is absorbed by the botnet and used to calculate your current emotional state at this exact moment leading to your next decision. Free will is an illusion.

To my fellow Dan /biz/erians, as someone that is actually fucking retarded, should I rebalance my portfolio related to number of shares or total value?

How do privileged white liberals reconcile with this video?

>>19503152
He literally died of a heart attack due to a fentanyl + meth overdose while struggling against cops and resisting arrest to try to dump and hide the drugs he was hiding in his car. The cops still called an ambulance as soon as they got him out of his car and cuffed because he was already complaining he had breathing issues and was hurting. Everyone at the scene (shop owners, cops, bystanders) repeatedly remarked he was high on drugs. The cops asked him what he had taken so they could help him but he refused to respond, so they commented with 'don't do drugs, kids'.
The guy had a sizable rap sheet, being a known drug pusher and user who had previously been arrested also for armed robbery, mugging, unarmed robbery and more. He beat up a pregnant lady in search of money and drugs in the armed robbery case.
The cop team was an asian, a black, a hispanic and chauvin, so construing it as a race issue is as disingenuous as it could possibly get.
The handling of his arrest by the cops (if you see the full videos) is clearly as clear-cut by the book as it fucking gets, to the point you could use that shit in training videos as an example of a perfect arrest procedure.

>>19502782
I was bored at work one day and actually did some analysis on phases of the moon after a weird office conversation that went off on a tangent

Based off 3 years of data and several million calls it turns out we did see a slight correlation between phases of the moon and sales conversion. Although we couldn't pin it down to customet sentiment or sales advisor behaviour.

So if anything has the past month proven that the market is emotionless?
I mean, look at this week for example. You honestly cannot convince me that there is any logic behind the line except "line go up sell, line go down buy"

>>19503754
Cardiopulmonary arrest doesn't mean you're having a myocardial infarction. Hypoxia can easily drive your heart to simply stop (cardiopulmonary arrest). In order for him to die from a heart attack it would have to be an utterly massive STEMI. What kind of dumb bootlicking faggot tries to defend a knee to the neck for 8 minutes?!?

The woody decor of that restaurant reminds me of a fish n' chips I used to live close to. This was in western central Canada and not exactly a good spot for seafood but somehow they had fresh fish. Maybe overnighting it on ice from the coast. They went out of business. Probably not good margins from their insistence on quality. I miss it.

M&C Saatchi is going to look spicy very soon (LON:SAA)

>>19503843
He was reported (and can be seen on some of the videos) of foaming at the mouth, which is yet another sign of fentanyl OD.
Also it's supposedly not just the OD that killed him, but him overexerting himself by fighting the police while ODing, which the police did their best to prevent (thus almost saving his life). At no point in time was his breathing limited by any of the officers. This can both be observed in the lack of any weight in the leg apparent in the video, and in the autopsy reportS (note the s: both autopsy reports confirm that there was no such issue, the one that was paid to the family tried to weasel it by saying 'there was no sign of it but clearly it happened because I saw it on the video').
Moreover, due no doubt to his history of drug abuse, he was known to have heart issues.

>>19504128
Also, the knee method is standard not only in that state, but all over the world for police. It's used constantly both locally and internationally and never cause problems.

Mattis wrote that Trump makes mockery of our Constitution, not that Trump violated it, which he didn't.

Mattis is confusing his distaste for Trumps policies, words and campaign photo ops. This is a problem that the left has: it wants to criminalize policy and style differences. Some might actually want to stage a coup over those differences.

What guys like Mattis, Comey, and yes, Obama, don't understand is that the Constitution gives but one remedy for differences in policy and style. It's called an election. By refusing to focus on that one remedy, it is the leftists who are making a mockery of our Constitution and they are intentionally misleading a large percentage of our citizens into a belief that feelings are the same thing as laws and that insurrections are the same thing as elections.

Certainly Trump would help himself if he chose his words more carefully, or merely put down his phone for an hour before he sends his tweets or even previews his tweets to a couple of more level-headed types before sending them out. But a get tough negotiating style and bringing in military MPs to help keep order in front of the White House and around our national landmarks and historic buildings is far from making a mockery of our Constitution. Refusing to accept the results of our elections truly is.

>>19504128
The guy will be made a martyr anyway, same as Trayvon Martin. They don't care if the reality matches their interpretation of the situation. None of this matters to the market, of course. And I think probably helps the republicans going in to November elections as it does not make the lefties look very good at all to the average middle classer.

Bull run continues. As for the Fed, I don't think negative interest rates will be necessary this year.

Anyone else in GNUS stock?

>wti moving up and down in just exactly right amount to make any leveraged position worthless

>>19504141
The knee method is standard but only on the upper back, not on the neck. Cops misuse it all the time though, I'm sure many people have been killed with rough enough holds

So this is the power of the bear.

Not even memeing boys, but I truly believe this is the end for bobo. I’ve crunched the numbers, and there’s a 93.68% chance that we will NEVER see another red day until the days of Rapture. My prediction model has always been dead on... sorry bobos

>>19504198
>None of this matters to the market, of course.
Of course.
The only reason I bothered with these posts was that I'm getting a bit tired of seeing misinfo everywhere, even on fucking /biz/ of all places, where I thought I could escape this nonsense and talk about stocks, getting rich/poor, and the economy or something.

>I don't think negative interest rates will be necessary this year.
They'll be needed sooner or later, sooner at the rate things are going. Also rates cannot be jacked up at all if 2019 was any indication. They're really just digging themselves a bigger hole and the only outcome I can envision is japan 2.0 and I don't like it. Is there anything else that could save us from this fate?

With the way c*nada is going, they'll just sink the whole party even further. I don't think the mexican economy is strong enough to uplift a fallen american economy, let alone american + can*dian.

That would actually be extremely fucking fantastic if it doesn't turn into another banana republic ploy and the corruption in SA can be weeded out. Though this would help with cutting ties with china, I don't think it'll fix the current problems.

Also Biz anons I know this might sound stupid but in general do you have any advice for trade careers? Just recently graduated university and am somewhat concerned about my job prospects. Depending on the situation I was thinking of trying to pick up a trade on the side, most likely welding due to its ubiquity, as a supplement if I can't find a job with my degree albeit its going to be hard.

Where are all the bobos

>>19504507
Bro, if you are going to pick up a trade be a controls and instrumentation guy.

>>19504530
Thanks anon how long would that take and cost to pick up?

>>19504507
Welding is dandy. Electrical is dandier. Welding does a lot of toxic shit, flux vapors and constant heavy metal working, confined spaces and so on. Electricians, at worst, might be exposed to environmental dust and oil/grease from gears and shit depending on industry.

Also I am trying to pick up something that I could learn quickly currently am 23.

>The Conscious Neck Restraint may be used against a subject who is actively resisting. (04/16/12)
And see B. for unconscious.
>>19504376
It's a standard technique to prevent the subject from flailing around harming himself or others. Above, you can see it's standard in many places including Minnesota for precisely the case in that situation.

>so the standard dictates to continue pinning him even after he had continuously begged that he could not breath?
Yes. EMT is also trained to restrain people dying of OD (but they are better equipped to do so, so they usually restrain to a bed instead) because someone who passes out from OD often wakes up to instantly attack the first person they see. The restraint is supposed to be in place until the subject can be transferred (in this case to the ambulance).
He was complaining about breathing as soon as he got out of the car, at which point the officer already called for an ambulance. Throughout the episode, the cop told him 'we called an ambulance for you, you'll be alright buddy' in many occasions. They then attempted to walk him to the car awaiting the arrival of the ambulance, at which point he threw himself at the ground while saying he doesn't want to get in the car and trying to fight off the cops. It's when he threw himself to the ground yet again that he was restrained as seen.
Extract from the report:
>"Lane asked, 'should we roll him on his side?' and the defendant said, 'No, staying put where we got him.' Officer Lane said, 'I am worried about excited delirium or whatever.' The defendant said, 'That’s why we have him on his stomach.'"

especially 'patient restraint'. As for 'least necessary', he was a very tall, very strong man and did in fact need 3 officers to restrain him.

>>19504605
You can get into mine electrical, and work up to your journeyman/masters while getting paid out the ass to look at equipment and say "yeah, it's fucked." I can't speak for other industries, but I imagine working on cruise lines or other heavy industries excises a lot of the standards and regulations applicable to residential/commercial.

You can also look into plant operations, boiler certification. What's your current degree in?

I have a list of stocks im trying to get in on, are we gonna have any dips? It seems like Red Days are a thing of the past.

>>19504677
There's definitely going to be dips unless the interest rate can be dropped infinitely with no repercussion (protip: not how it works). I think tech is due for a correction as it's way overvalued, and things like zm being on the nasdaq as well as tech sell-off in general (can be as simple as people moving away from 'safe haven' tech into their more preferred options) might trigger a panic.
That said, infinite qe and jerome's general stance might change how this is realized.

>Floyd had contracted the novel coronavirus, sometimes called COVID-19 or 2019-nCoV, the report says. A postmortem nasal swab collected on the day of the autopsy turned out to be “positive for 2019-nCoV,” it says. However, the medical examiner’s findings suggest that the actual infection may have occurred nearly two months earlier.

Got a grad degree in political science due to my parents wanting to me go to college (both are FOBS), didn't really want to but they wanted a master's "college" educated son because I was too smart to work in trades according to my mother and my father who worked in a trade said it was a hard life and didn't want me to follow him.

And now looking back on it I don't know what to do honestly. I feel like maybe I am better at analyzing underlying trends and writing papers/presentations but it isn't a fulfilling degree and I feel like working in an office/research setting is going to kill me because its so boring. Plus I lack the political connections to really make this degree worth it which is something they didn't understand when they funneled me into college for it.

Sorry if I am whinging anon but I feel aimless and wondering whats the purpose of life and I've come to realize that I would be happy in a small town making some decent cash and living a normal life (grew up in a big city and hate it/ its soul crushing being surrounded by idiots and concrete), or making money on a traveling trade that can't be automized at least yet as I am still single and have no real connection. I have no gf, my "friends" only see me once every year and my family is scattered throughout the world and honestly I don't know them that much or doubt that they really care for my side of the family.

Sorry bro, it's just how life is: multifaceted and complicated. You can at least verify that the link I gave for the procedure in Minneapolis is official, and you can check that jems is a legitimate local journal on EMS if you care.
Experts are needed even in seemingly simple cases, unfortunately it's out of fashion to ask them to explain topics anymore. All feelings, facts not allowed now.

I agree on most accounts, though I think we’re way too quick to give the pig the benefit of the doubt, because this is 4chan and because there’s so many Karen’s and liberals who refuse to do so.
I’m not saying all cops are bastards, but most pigs don’t give a fuck about the people they grind under their boot. I suspect it draws a lot of people who get off on the power.
What really confuses me is that the two worked at the same nightclub for a time, so I wonder if they knew eachother.

>subzero rates
We will continue to be the best house in a bad neighborhood, and that could be called into question by negative rates. It would really shake our standing in the world, Particularly in comparison to the circus that is china’s financial institutions.

I hope powell doesn’t cave. Everything the fed and treasury have done seems to intensify the destruction of the middle class and relative poverty. Those are two of the things causing the most misery and directly related to civil unrest, methinks.

i was at walgreens picking up my anxiety benzos when i saw a pack of goodnites and remembered how an anon was talking about using them as a nonmedical anxiety coping mechanism
to make a long story short i brought them back with the benzos and tried them out
to my surprise they're very comfy but really don't help with anxiety
if anything it raises my anxiety
fuck you /smg/, you made me a degenerate diaperfag who actually enjoys wearing them

I know the aimless feel. I was art major in uni and graphic designer after. Hate job. Quit. Did an assortment of stuff after. Decided the thing I really enjoy and will happily do all day is drive. I was courier for the brown for a bit. And a taxi cabby. Delivered lab samples and paperwork between hospitals, clinics, and testing labs in the city for a while (comfiest job ever). Wrote parking tickets briefly (better job than you'd assume). Now work for supply management dealio at a university.

>>19504847

>>19504831
Let's say all of these links are procedures are legit. Can/will this info be used by the defense to turn the tables?

>>19504838
i have anxiety too and /smg/ is not a very good place to be in that state. also stop reading the news. that will work better than your benzos. i wouldn't need any medications as long as i could stay away from certain websites.

>>19504869
It will absolutely be used in the defense, but I don't think it will influence the end result at all. Chauvin will probably be found guilty of 2nd degree murder, probably with racial motive, in an attempt to please the crowd. As for the other cops, it's not clear what would happen to them, it'll depend on the rioter's reaction on social media. If they fixate on the fact none of them are white, they'll get off easy; otherwise they might get manslaughter with racial motive.

>>19504868
Close enough. He could have just thrown it in SPY and made more than 13% since April 25

>>19504866
Interesting life anon, when did you figure out that your aimless feeling was gone. For me the feeling is still here and I feel like whats compounded it even more is the fact that I lived life year by year never really planning ahead.

Like middle school and high school flew by and so did college, and now I have a degree and no job in a world that since my childhood I feel like has gotten worse and made me really just jaded and hopeless about the future.

Also I never really got to enjoy high school and college, no gf, same group of friends, and no real political or job connections for the future.

Honestly I feel like I f*cked up and miss being a kid when all I had to worry about was my multiplication tables and running a mile in PE.

>when did you figure out that your aimless feeling was gone
I guess two things. First, I realized defining my life by my career was dumb and pointless. Work is just doing what ya gotta do. Second, and maybe the more important, it's not entirely necessary to hold on to a job that pays well if you really hate the place and want to set it on fire in fortnite every day you're there. This can be tricky if you're weighed down by dependants and mortgage and all that though. I don't make a lot of money from my jobbies but I did have investments before from when pay was high, and learned to trade in last five years. Now make around 30% of my income from trading. Eventually I should have a large enough portfolio to do it more or less full time. That's long term goal.

>>19504975
I noticed that a lot people would rather go to a good 'prestigious" school and do a meme degree rather then doing STEM at a state school. Or they may start with something reasonable then drop out cause too hard and switch to shit like gender studies instead. And end up with a meme diploma from a top school and a huge debt and no job.

>>19504866
>>19504806
I got a state job after suffering thru the private sector bullshit for a bit. Best choice I ever made. At the time it was either join the state workforce or drive a lot of miles to work at some other private sector gig. The state benefits was the ice cream topping for me. Sure I make less than I would otherwise but there ain't many jobs that let you retire in full after just 27 years. That don't involve a bullet coming at you or you running into burning buildings at any rate. Sure I could've joined the military but this was during the big iraqi war on terror rush so odds were if I joined I'd have been over there blowing up fucktards in sand pits. And most likely getting a bullet in the chest as a reward. No thanks.

>>19504940

I would be very skeptical about the form said donations are being made, to who, how, etc. They wouldn't be chucking around that kind of money if they didn't have beneficial stuff coming straight back to them from it. Talking (legal) tax evasion and so on.

>>19504806
In all my years of experience, the best industrial career I've ever seen was plant operators at a NG facility. Dudes made $30/h and had guaranteed OT. There were hazards of course, H2S, massive plant failures, fire, electrical. Job was straightforward, outlined procedures and on-screen alerts for issues. The guys I worked with were all field mechanics, but the position is really entry level. They'd definitely take a welder or an electrician as they're all critical to operations. It's a sort of jack-of-all-trades position, same with mine plants.

You could hedge by using your current credits to grab a degree in a mechanics/electrical/welding and come out looking better than most.

Might also look into railroad on corporate or union sides with your current degree, but it's going to be hard to slip in these days.

I'm sorry that happened anon. I haven't seen the other posts you are referring to but I can attest to how they help me with anxiety.

I hope you find your peace with enjoying them for non-degenerate reasons like I did.

No WMD though.

Like I said in my case, I was good at political science and history in my high school and my household didn't really give me a choice of college or trade it was more like college or GTFO. Also my high school didn't have a trade program they assumed that everyone was going to college due to their reputation.

Thanks for the advice in regards to the trades I was thinking about doing that but don't know how much credit could transfer over from my degrees and how fast I could get certified.

Funnily enough Ive thought about working for the rail industries but don't know which company would be worth it whether its Amtrak vs Union vs Kansas.

Also anons do you cal for a fact that I won't do it because basically my parents sunk their hopes and dreams on me and I would have just reset them to square one. It's all so tiresome in the end.

They get another phone company to give them your number by pretending to be u switching phone companies or requesting a new sim to replace lost one, once they control your number your phone is locked out while all your security texts and stuff go to them so they can easily gain access to your email, bank account etc, go online to your account and set up a port pin so ppl cant do this without knowing the pin as well.

I started in 2005. Another nice uh loophole is any sick time upon retirement that you got can be used as credit towards your retirement. I think the max is 22 months of sick time. I'm hardly sick, I've got 15 years in. You get 1 day a month. Needless to say I've got a lot of sick time. Any unused vacation time upon retirement they pay you for. Now there's no limit to how long you can work. You can put in 40 years if you want. But at 32 your pension is maxed so anything past that your paying them.

Despite being handcuffed he was throwing himself at the ground and successfully resisting 3 officers trying to get him in the car.
- He was a threat to himself.
- He was a threat to the officer (legs and heads are a thing, not everyone is a paraplegic like you, he almost headbutt one of the officers before he was handcuffed right after getting out of the car too).
But I know you're not arguing and just shitposting since you say some obvious jokes like "a 13 years old can handle a 6'6'' roided out drugged out of his mind criminal with a history of violence because muh hands".

It's not a big city, I think just 30,000 call it home. But we get a lot of people from outside during the workweek plus people passing thru for jobs/travel/etc.

I'm in it for the fucking lunch

CAPTAIN CRUNCH

>>19505630
>30,000

That’s not a city.

>>19505618
The issue with city folk and store owners is that like in California for example they voted in laws that basically made getting a gun a longer process. So most likely these sales are happening in states that have limited encroachment on firearms rather than blue strongholds due to the ability for gun shops to actually sell their product quickly.

>>19505609
Both? Nah. What is the point of raiding residential areas? No stores there. Unless it is an all out civil war kek.

>>19505630
Thats the life, Ive thought about trying to find work in the midwest like the dakotas. But obvisouly this degree is useless and forces me to go to LA, NY, or D.C which I don't want to.

>>19505653
Good point, but I think the stats so far come from state authority(?) doing background checks(?) for people requesting guns, not actual gun sales, so wouldn't that apply just as well in red and blue states? If the sale volume comes from red states I guess it implies increased awareness/reminder that looters are a thing, but then it's not touching a "new" demographic. Not quite as interesting for the market segment.

>>19505650
Lol here it's considered a city. The largest cities are Louisville and Lexington.

>>19505540
I work at an airport and can see passenger numbers

>>19505659
Well once you loot stores you got to find more products and sometimes your best bet might be the residential areas. I remember seeing an article trending on twitter from the LA times about how the protestors/looters want to go to the rich homes of whites in South LA but can't because since the 1995 riot and that they should because "thats a good thing".

>>19504507
Depending on your location, any major natural gas distribution company or contractor will definetly pay the Bill's escpially if they are union.

>>19505678
It probably depends on the red state or region? I'd imagine the states that have a significant A-A population are used to race riots, ferguson comes to mind, so when they see another ferguson wave of riots they are going to make sure that they are duly armed compared to blue states like Illinois.

>>19505659
Well, they did burn a house with a kid inside and then get in the way of the fire services who were trying to save the dying kid.
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/11760169/george-floyd-protesters-blocked-firefighters-child-rescue/
They also threatened several times to go to suburbs, but haven't actually done so yet.
I don't think the concept is the main driver of sales, until they actually do go murder people in their suburbian homes, I think other factors will be the main drivers.

I bought spy puts near the top today lads. God I hope this shit keeps going down.

One of the most poignant memories of race riots brutality I saw was that looters were actively shooting at firefighters extinguishing fires during the 1995 Rodney King riot. I was watching some archival footage of the riots and remember that it got so bad that one firefighter had to bring a side by side with him from home and stand guard while his crew was extinguishing the flames.

Also do you guys think the fact that the Dems released a shit ton of convinced felons to prevent "overcrowding" in prisons is contributing to the violence? Are we going to see something like the 1968 riots or 1995 riots ever again?

1992.
We are not there yet. That was absolutely the worst. Hopefully it is not happening again.

Try Montana, they have trees!

Still, what happens when you hit 40-50 and your body starts breaking up and thats not the easiest job to do and you sill like 20-30 years to go before you retire. And the insurance is probably crappy so you will have to pay a lot of out pocket to treat your arthritis and what not.

Thanks anon I confused it for the watts riot in 1965. Do you think that we will ever get to that point again though, especially if trump wins reelection in November and if Minnesota fails to convict these officers because the AG decided to go for a second degree murder charge which is going to be extremely hard to stick without rigging the jury pool, which is as probably tainted as Washington D.C.

How am I doing?

Leaving AAL tomorrow, going into SOLO, SAVE, and AMD

It feels like a lot of political entities are basically trying to burn down the country but forgetting that once this flame is lit everyone is going to suffer which scares me because I want to be out of my city before they light a powder keg.

>>19505858
yeah, and add the coronovirus on top of that. a lot of frustration, high unemployment .etc. the only positive factor, it is too cold to riot in minnesota in november lol these riots seem to be a seasonal thing.

Thanks anon, don't know if I can do underwater welding, I am 23 and not the most fit (a bit overweight), but hopefully it is not too late for trade development and a possible course correction.

>>19505705
I wonder what welding metal specializations are in demand for pipelines. I would like to work for natural gas since they mostly seem to be growing as everyone is switching to them.

>>19505920
Thats what I feel like also contributed to the intensity of the protests and riots in all 50 states. Everyone has cabin fever anger from being locked up half of the year almost and then they all are unemployed meaning that they have no work responsibilities to prevent them from going out and protesting and looting.
