3 entire link. I only have 3 link.

I feel bad for my father who might lose all of his investments out of this, he wasn't invested in oil but oil infrastructure (transport and storage). I've been calling him a bunch to keep his spirits up.

>>18593578
hey dumb ass, storage is a gold mine right now, if you can store it they pay you to take it or at least its super cheap and just wait for it to go back up or for the us to buy it form you in ww3 soon

The last month has all just been one big blur.
90% of my interactions with people was at work. Now I'm completely alone.
I can't seem to focus on work at home.
I'm kind of hoping the boss will forgive me for slacking and I'll get better. Sometimes I think I want to get fired so I can get my life together, but then I think that's just an excuse and if I got my life together I would just have more time anyway.
Sometimes I think I'm just not cut out for modern life and should be doing something brain-dead.

Getting my jewish happy pills soon! Cant wait :D

Great I made loads of money

I'm now at the point where I want to find a way to communicate this to women without being obvious. I now understand why men cover themselves with gold and chains

I've been literally having to stop myself just casually start talking about how much I made trading to girls I like it's fucking cringebait

>>18593695
that probably wont work out very well

>>18592108
Just hanging in there anon

>>18593578
LOL your dad's going to be rich. Oil infrastructure will profit big off this

Can't sleep. My ego has been damaged too badly. I went from alpha minus to gamma within a year and never recovered. Am now homeless by choice, entire net worth in crypto, and i find it difficult to care about anything.

>>18593704
masterpiece.

Found out my parents aren't the people I thought they were and have been living a lie for 22 years. Basically refusing to talk to them and they hate it since I've always been open.

I just can't believe I spent all these years wanting a relationship like my parents have only to find out all the skeletons in the closet they hid from me. I told them everything and they hid the fact my parents split up at one point, my dad was an alcoholic, I wouldn't be surprised if my parents fucked other people when they were separated after only being married a few years. My mom told me the first time she saw my dad she knew she was going to marry him. It was like a fairytale, now I come to find out my dad was a drunk and they separated.

Its all a sham. I thought a girl would come along and do the same with me and things would work out good. Now I realize its a fucking joke and I've lived with that idea in my head for nothing. All I've got now is one friend and all my frens on here to trust and talk to.

>>18593752
if worst comes to worst, take care of you the ones who have cared for you and prepare for hell

>>18593968

You are unfairly idealizing people to a ridiculous extent.

Everyone has skeletons in their closet, and it's extremely autistic and downright childish to pretend they make people scum and unloveable.

How can a 6'4'' hunk of mass achieve these levels of comfiness?

I'm doing great. Haven't had this much fun trading in years.

Great! Oil imploding and the world economy collapsing means many third world countries will plumge into chaos leading to rampant homophobia.

That means cheap third world bfs. I can't decide whether to get a cute venezualan bf or maybe a more masculine, self-hating middle eastern bf.

Cashed out on all markets, withdrew every single dollar I own from all accounts other than $10K in my savings for maintaining utilities and tax for the forseeable future, just left my job after I put in my two weeks notice (not going to work this shit job in the middle of hazardous conditions for pennies to the dollar), sold my car (motorcycle is good enough to get me around town on its own, car was only good for work purposes), and all of the cash is sitting in a neat pile in my room. This economy is too volatile now for me to feel comfortable trading. It's madness. I'm not putting a red cent into any market until this shit clears up, and if we go full-Mad Max, I'll be happy that I have enough food, water, and ammunition to last me a full year in excess, probably several if I start rationing early. It's not too early to step out of this game and start allocating for the future.

hang in there anon. it gets better
>>18594261
i doubt the US will go mad max. we'll just have a miserable few years. i could see the truly oil dependent 3rd world countries - Russia, Iran, Iraq, Venezuela, Nigeria, Angola - becoming Mad Max. I suppose two of them already are.
It turns out oil production is - was - more than half of Russia's federal budget. kleptocracies don't do well with this sort of thing. i think a Russian collapse may be the biggest development to come out of this. the last time oil prices dipped this badly, the USSR crumbled.
and im sure with all this instability, China will poised to snatch up the scraps. hopefully the CIA is getting ready to do some dirty work too. Cold War II: Electric Boogaloo is just around the corner

Work is really slow and I'm working from home pretty much all the time, still get paid heaps to do fuck all but you do get bored after a while. Not a bad problem to have but man everyday feels the same.

>>18594343
kek, I know this feel man. all blends into one. it has its benefits, but i preferred the work home separation i.e., knock off and don't think about the shit until the next day.

Russia may have some serious issues ahead, but they are a hard people lead by one of the most competent politicians in recent history. Short of Putin dying, they'll probably just continue to slip into economic stagnation

>>18594402
>Short of Putin dying, they'll probably just continue to slip into economic stagnation
i could see that. further decline, but no political change. just a gradual dwindling of relevance on the global stage.
ive heard it said that Russia is a second-rate state with a first-rate intelligence apparatus. a pretty accurate description if there ever was one

>My ETFs are going haywire, extremes in both directions
>Property has an underground leak that the insurance company is dragging its foot on fixing, HOA is now breathing down my neck
>Work has reduced hours but with the same work needing to be done, if not more
>Should've gotten a CCW permit when I had the chance
Bad time to be Asian

>Still working part time while studying
>Had to defer thesis for a semester due in part to a bad breakup and corona shutting research labs
>Lots of time now for reading history, playing the piano and early morning/late afternoon hikes

All in all feeling pretty damn good, the prospect of the world imploding only makes life that much for enjoyable

Watching my retirement money fading away (mostly invested in oil stonks)

>>18592108
Getting ready to pull all of my money out of banks and buy cans of beans and jerry cans full of petrol. I will live in my car and wait for the apocalypse.

>>18593752
>went from alpha minus
Which means that's the minimum you're capable of and getting back there at the least will be enough to give you that belief and confidence to take you up a grade. Although falling to gamma does mean you are also capable of that.

>>18593752
If you think you were an alpha, but are now a gamma... Shit son, I have some bad news for you. You were a gamma from the start

Alpha minus? That is the most gamma cope shit I have ever read. I am sorry you had to find out this way.

hmm lets see
> seemingly failing my phd & have 0 motivation

Not to great I would say

I'm so goddamn sick of it. I have 0 worries about job security because of yuropean contracts and my company isn't affected at all, but holy FUCK.

I can work at home just fine but I like to keep it 3 days a week tops. I don't have a home office room yet.

Fully demoralized, properly gaslit, and the kind of tired sleep doesn't fix. In other words, I'm fine, thanks for asking.
