… right.

At no point did you deny that you’re using leverage.

Which means that if your understanding of ‘how it all works’ is… wrong… in any significant way…

Well then your personal situation unwinds in a micro version of how the rest of the economy currently is.

Your strategy relies on never making a significant mistake.

Statistically, you will.

Oh right, also this:

A few million is nothing.

Maybe enough to confidently own a pretty nice home.

Assuming the starving mob doesn’t visit you.

In terms of fixing society?

That’s roughly on the scale of helping hundreds or thousands in your local community, on an ongoing basis.

Nothing, in the grand scheme of things.

… A couple million?

Jeff Bezos makes ~3 million dollars in a single hour.

An hour.

Try and square that, really try and think about that.

That house you wanna get, that non profit you wanna set up?

That you took huge risks for, for multiple years, some how lucky enough to never fuck up?

That’s an hour of Jeff sleeping.

He could see your house, or envision that non profit in a dream, and then on a whim, just buy 8 of them when he wakes up.

The solution to this, to trying to fix society, is not trying to beat them at their own game.

The solution is breaking the rules of the game.

After all… that’s how they got to be where they are.

… did you ever get the Mew out of the back of the truck, lol?

I lost track after Gold/Silver/Crystal, so it stops at 251 for me.

No, it has a custom name, so this is a Pokemon that has already been caught.

Wild Pokemon do not have custom names.

So… yeah, she woke it up, summoned it, for this.

… except that the Pokemon is named Bidet.

This… usually can only be done, giving a pokemon a custom name… right when you catch them, or, at maybe like a single, pretty far out of the way NPC, that only exists in one spot in the game world.

So, think of basically a birth certificate or changing your name on a government ID, similar level of … not many easy opoortunities you have to rename a Pokemon.

… This all implies… that this Pokemon’s purpose is to serve as a bidet, precisely for situations like this.

Either that, or she named it Bidet as a midly cruel but ultimately innocent joke, and is now midly dying inside from both the general awkwardness of the situation, and the immense irony of now having to… actually use ‘Bidet’ as a bidet.

Ironically, Bidet will be unable to fulfill their… nomative deterministic function… if they do not have enough PP for Water Gun.

… where PP stands for Power Point(s), in Pokemon lingo, the number of times a Pokemon can use a specific move.

I mean… the … implication is still that she’s going to use the poor penguin… just its… water gun ability… as opposed to… being a literal asswipe.

I mean… I can see why people are weirded out by this, but also… it really doesn’t have to be a sexual thing.

You could put Ash, or Silver or whoever in this position… its… not like guys cannot also use bidets… and its not like the concept of running out of toilet paper, or using a bidet, is inherently sexual.

Sure, it can be, if that’s actually your fetish.

But it doesn’t have to be.

What, she has a semi risque, bikini type thong thing, as underwear?

Uh… when I was the age of this character (10-12 apparently, depending on which game she’s in)…

I would stand at the bus stop for school, and one neighborhood girl, same age as me, would brag about wearing one of these, have it hiked up past her pants/shorts waist line, and keep trying to get me to do dares or favors so I could ‘see more of it’.

I was also friends with less uh… attention seeking girls, and a few years later, I’m getting invited to their slumber parties (mostly to marathon a season of Buffy, sometimes Toonami, eventually Venture Bros) because I’m actually respectful, trustworthy, and keep my hands to myself.

What I’m trying to say is:

What this character is depicted as wearing was not an uncommon kind of girl’s undergarment bottom, even 20 years ago.

Not all girls wear granny panties.

Its not inherently sexualizing, to be wearing a fairly common kind of underwear.

I think the point of this is to be embarassing and awkward… ‘cringe’, even… not fetishistic.

Yes, and then the trick is timing your exit or restructuring into countercyclicals … at the right time.

And timing is the part almost everyone fucks up.

Also, if you’re ‘buying low and selling high’, and you’re up 5000%+ ytd?

Then you’re basically daytrading, which basically means this is a full on part time job for you, at least…

… and while did you say you’re not shortselling, you did not say you’re not using any leverage.

So uh yeah, best of luck, hope you can keep up the perfectly timed dance, and never miss a beat, nor miss an upcoming time signature change.

I’d argue cold… but I wouldn’t want to come across as frigid.

(More seriously, I did not even know a donkey or jackass or whatever it is, could even exist with such a coat pattern. … Genuinely beautiful to me.)

Saw it when it came out, it is awesome.

Though, The Edge kind of comparitively struggles in the jam sessions, as his forte is more… fucking about with amps and effects to make novel sorts of sonic environments, than improvising riffs.

(Not like I could do any better lol, I’d probably do much, much worse, would just sieze up, have a panick attack, die of shame if Jimmy fucking Page asked me to play anything on a guitar, lol)

Ideally around 150 years ago, but far, far too late is better than never.

Oh.

Oops.

I thought it was just… like a rememberance of apsirational motivation.

Like, “Oh, the wonder of the brightly glistening stars!” that kind of an exclamation.

Well I’ve been hearing that wrong for a while, 'scuse me while I kiss this guy.

Ooooh.

Yes.

That makes sense.

Sorry, I was uh, helping my step-sis with something.

Such people are asshats, draw them wearing such, as a final message, before ignoring them forevermore.

I think you accidentally some letters there, but… yes?

Oh to tear the temples down… oh to change!

He just wants to know where you hid his insulin pump.

Here ya go… its even in a mounted position:
