When I flip someone off it likes I'm a beginner and looks forced, which is correct cause I didn't start flipping off someone since last march even if it was almost a year ago I don't frequently flip off someone. So how do I do it without it looking forced and awkward?

Why on earth would you go to the UK?   

I like grey, communist bloc buildings and 1984 Orwell vibes

If you're serious about it take some short travels around Eastern Europe and the Balkans, or visit the Philippines. Don't spend too much, just go around to see if the places align with your needs and if you could see yourself living there. Or take on short term jobs in different countries, take your money and bounce if you get bored.

I've actually been to the Balkans a bit. They are very affordable but the economies are mostly bad, so getting employment would be hard. They treat tourists well too. 

Haven't been to Western Europe much though. Or Scandinavia, for that matter. 

Do you know if traveling by train from balkans to West Europe is feasible, or not really? also, how are you liking belgium  

also, ofc nobody has mentioned Cuba.

Do you know anything about Cuba-US relations at all? I'd probably be arrested if I went there

That's a myth that Eastern Europe is cheap unless it's Moldova or something.

That's completely wrong. I've been there. 

It's like $3 for a full meal at a restaurant. 

You can't get much cheaper than that.

No the UK is crazy expensive, and as far as I'm aware does not have favorable immigration laws unless you're highly skilled or a refugee (even then you have to pretend you'll be killed if you return home whilst the government try and put you on a one way plane to Rwanda. Not joking). 

 

I would try Australia/NZ, not cheap but welcome immigrants who are willing to work, people like it so much they often stay. Vietnam/Thailand is another 'traveller' destnation. 

Any thoughts on France?

Also, if you think UK is expensive, Australia would blow your mind lol

Like for cheap travel?

Possibly even get a job if needed.  

Possibly even immigrate. 

Is UK any good?

What does your company do? I'm genuinely intrigued.

cars/automotives 

Damn, that sounds like a nightmare.

If someone lost me 15k a month in business, I'd strangle them. 

They really dragged FagLow into the ground I see  

was Aza insisting it was heterosexual for a man to sleep with a femboy, and that it was really a female. I was so mad arguing back and forth, and it only hit me years later it was a troll.

I've copied the method and have been using it on others since then. The reactions are priceless, insisting the person who says this must be in the closet.

More punishment than crime

For real though life is so depressing.

For me too if I'm to be honest.  I got some things going for me, but damn if I'm not depressed too.  

How old are you and how do you plan to get financial independence? Do you own your home?

I guess reaching the age where everyone that's always been around you start to die and get sick is the worst part 

Trying to reach financial freedom and the endless setbacks second I guess 

 

Damn, your life is like a Dostoevsky novel.

Then again the problems we thought we faced were actually minuscule most of the time 

Bisexual Tree, what sort of problems are you facing nowadays?

Still playing videogames daily

I can't justify it to myself honestly, I feel guilty the moment I play one now. 

Even the feeling is so completely off compared to gaming a few years back and I was completely addicted since childhood. 

I could get lost in those game worlds and their characters and really enjoy it but now they feel so empty.

They all feel like when you log in some old MP game where you're the only one on the server. Sad!

Have you tried just playing older games again and ignoring newer ones?

I don't play anywhere near daily, but i have some fun occasionally. 95% of my gaming is on games older than 2008

Won't be too hard for me.

 

I think they all do within the legal boundaries but this is not something I know well enough for the time being to say more.

 

You could probably just look at the profit margin % from the income statements to get a good picture. Although the video game industry is probably weird in that regard, because they probably have negative quarters and then huge fucking profits when the games actually gets released unlike companies who sell their products at a somewhat consistent rate all year long.

Profit margin is 1 of the most important indicators, but FAR from the most important one. That's absurdly simplistic. If you buy into a company issuing debt through their shares (i.e. diluting) you're dead in the water before you even started. Would rather have a company with 0 profit margin than a company diluting shares. 

Accounting for some of these companies is not that easy to read.

Some even manipulate their numbers. 

I just focus on about 6-7 key numbers in the accounting statements and ignore the rest.

Do they send you any type of financial statements as a small time shareholder (I don't mean to offend)? Or is it public?

 

I'm studying accounting you know. I'd love to see some data. 

They might send 1-2 generic legal looking letters every year. I just throw them in the trash usually. 

EDIT: Oh wait, you're asking about financial statements? They definitely don't send that in the mail. Not even email. It's all publicly available. 

any PC gamers have any thoughts on Corsair? How do you like their products, etc?

Let's have you nerdmits do something useful for once and help profits for daddy's portfolio. Free of charge, of course.

What is the rate intervals at which you get dividends? Is it once a year, once every quarter, once a month? I assume it's once a year, right? 

With Nintendo, I think it might be twice a year. For a total of about 3.6% combined paid throughout the year. 

I'm not too worried about tracking dividends. I have it set to automatically be reinvested back into stock shares, which will grow the future dividend even MORE because I have more shares. And that's not counting if Nintendo's profits increase, and they increase their dividend. In a decade, I might end up making 12% a year in dividends alone by doing nothing on an original investment.  

That's what happened to the lucky fucks who got in early on companies like Apple, 

I guess we know now where Biden's mass support came from. 

Chat GPT generated content + Bots + YouTube comment threads = illusion of gigantic mass popularity and "hipness" 

Mind blown.

That's easy and guaranteed profit. I got a few Amiibo who already exceed their initial value. Notably Joker from Persona 5. 

And did you account for inflation since you bought and also your sales tax in these "flips"? 

Flipping videogames or collectibles is dumb in my opinion. You have no idea if it will increase in value or not. You are just hoping eventually someone will pay more. 90% of these flips are bad investments.
