Freudian is my favorite R&B album of all time - Blonde, Channel Orange, Souled Out and Malibu are all fantastic, but this album has made me feel the strongest emotions and the songs in it are still on rotation consistently for me. Still, I think it has it's faults; the songs can be sonically one dimensional - that is to say that they all sort of blend together after a few listens. The slower, vocal focused composition of them all has made distinguishing between the songs difficult at points. I love the general sound of the songs so this is fantastic for me, I find myself loving every song a lot, but I must admit that the songs aren't quite as varied as CASE STUDY 01 is.
That leads me to my main point - Freudian is consistently better than CASE STUDY 01 (the average score of all the songs on Freudian are higher to me than CASE STUDY 01, as stuff like Restore the Feeling and Love Again aren't too much my style) but CASE STUDY 01 contains Daniel's best songs he's made thus far. TOO DEEP TO TURN BACK, ARE YOU OK? and OPEN UP are so sonically unique, powerful, and a perfect representation of Daniel's musical evolution over the time spanned after Freudian's release. While nothing on CASE STUDY 01 quite matches the silky smooth vocals of 'Get You' and 'Best Part', I truly feel like CASE STUDY 01 more so matches qualities of albums that land them in the 'best of all time' category: diversity, uniqueness, and bold production choices.
So I guess it becomes a question of whether one prefers consistent amazingness (Freudian), or instead whichever contains the highest peaks of artistic ability (CASE STUDY 01). In my personal experience, Freudian holds a little more sticking power for me, and I tend to listen to the songs off of it more often. Again, though, I'm a huge fan of the sound type most of the songs tend to follow.
TL;DR: Personal take is Freudian for personal reasons, but objectively CASE STUDY 01 is a little more daring/experimental and arguably contains Daniel's best songs he's made thus far.
I'll shift the question to you: which album do you prefer? Do you feel like both albums are successes? Going into the future, do you think Daniel should try to create an album focused on vocal serenading and slower pace like Freudian, or more experimental production like featured on CASE STUDY 01?
The Christmas season has brought a lot of videos on reddit and many other platforms of pets being given as gifts to people. On the surface, these are very sweet videos, often of some attractive person receiving the gift and crying tears of joy and being filled with what we assume will be many years of happiness with this cute little furball.
Unfortunately, the reality is, that is often not how this situation actually plays out. This article isn't from some rando on the internet, it is from a professional veterinarian, the type of person who is more qualified than 99.9999% of the planet to know what is best for animals, and they are telling you not to gift animals. You can also read this for more statistics about how many pets are thrown into shelters right after the holidays (hint: it's a lot).
Nevertheless, when I see anyone react to any such video with "do not give pets as gifts" or even "good for them, I'm sure they will be good pet parents, but in general, this is still a bad idea", their posts are met with considerable vitriol and hostility. So I must really be missing something and this must be some very uncommon and unpopular view, which, again, aligns exactly with what professional veterinarians think, to agree with these people who are getting downvoted to oblivion just for saying that gifting pets is bad!
When people fawn all over these videos and praise them and say "awww, that's so sweet!", they are building up and supporting a culture that approves of giving gifts as pets. I have no doubt that people get the idea in their head when they see these videos that gifting a pet is a great idea. That idea is further strengthened when they see all the comments saying "aww, what a wonderful gift!!11!!" This all encourages and likely increases the gift-giving of animals, and that's a huge problem.
Do you think I'm a killjoy, that I want both the pet and the potential owner to remain miserable forever? If it surprises you just now to learn that I actually love and care very deeply about animals (which is literally exactly why I not only hold this view but am making the effort to write all of this also), then you may need to reflect on how the general attitudes of animal gift-giving have warped your perspective. I hold this view because I want what is best for EVERYONE involved in animal gift-gi
... keep reading on reddit ➡If you want 100 shares but you don't have $13k
But you do have $4,800
$4.8k could only buy you 37 shares @ $130
But if you bought 2 calls @ 130 strikes for Mar 18 @ $2,400 each, you could THEORETICALLY, if everything happened JUST RIGHT, you could sell 1 call in order to pay to execute the second call.
You need to sell the first call at a premium of $13k in order to have enough money to exercise the second call. With a Delta of 0.77, you need the price of the underlying (the current price of GME) to go up between $100 -170 (variance because Gamma for this option is 0.0044 currently but will continue to change with price action and increase if price increases, overall increasing the rate of premium increase beyond a rate of $77 per $1 increase of the underlying)
So. When the price hits between $230 - 300, if it is before March 18th 2022 and Theta hasn't already outpaced your premium value (in this case -$15/day) then you can sell 1 call option, collect $13k and exercise the second option, netting you 100 shares @ $130 each, now currently valued at between $23k - 30k.
Congratulations. You can DRS those shares now.
I don't disagree with options. When someone says don't do options because they're risky and you don't understand them, to me that is like telling someone not to ride a motorcycle. It is dangerous and it takes time to learn. But if that person is willing to educate themselves to do it safely and is willing to accept the risks involved then let them. There are rewards to be gained if you can achieve them. But it's an expensive hobby and it's risky.
Edit:
Thanks for all the kind words. I'm glad I was able to help spread some wrinkles.
Obligatory not financial advice.
I hope moass takes off before Mar 18, but if it doesn't, I don't think the price will be above $230. Just my opinion. Excited to see DRS numbers on the next report. 💎🙌🏾
I am not suggesting this will happen, but I have seen some noise surrounding this topic which is interesting. I’m not sure there is any market for his contract (they’d definitely have to send a draft pick with it) but is this at all a possibility? Would vikings fans want this?
Do you wish more players sacrificed more just to get through Phrike? Do you feel cheated or robbed? Or... Are you happy more people get to enjoy the masterpiece this game is? I for one think you all will forever be superior and the elite of the Returnal bunch by beating the game the way Housemarque intended the game to be completed..... But I'm also happy I'm getting to advance and actually log some hours now.
Thoughts?
(If you don't wanna read the whole backstory at least read the end of the text for a better understanding of what I'm asking) I'm only 16 and my very first "serious relationship" was when I was 15. It was during quarantine and she was basically the only person I saw everyday for around 8 months. Our relationship was pretty serious compared to most of our peers. We were very comfortable with each other. Eventually We broke up (I broke up with her) due to lots of other things I had going on in my life that I needed to focus on (mental health, school, sports, ect.). We were meant to continue being friends but she started doing some really really bad things to me after the break up. This shattered me. I was in love with her. I just couldn't believe that someone who apparently loved me could do these kinds of things to me! To this day me and her are on the worst terms and we've been through so much together. But lots of times i find myself saying "oh you were only 15 you weren't really in love" or "you weren't really heartbroken" or "it was just a high school relationship you're overreacting". I think I feel this way because sometimes adults will say things like this or make me feel this way.
Not all fans of XYZ are armour-shippers and Ash-Greninja lovers . Some of us like it because of the battles, character development and maturity of ash. I am saying this because when people talk or refer gen 6 fans they think of us all as a toxic 9 yr old complaining and saying gen 7 is bad when i can guarantee you a lot of us normal fans who love a show and we won't bully or be toxic about your opinion. Now yes I will admit there are toxic xy fans and they are bad people but there are also good people. The purpose of this post is to tell other people that next time you post something refer to armour shippers and greninja lovers because what I see is people posting xy and xyz fans as a whole which just ain't true cause some of us are just like other normal people who aren't toxic, listen to people and are ok with other peoples opinion. Hope you guys understand. Hope you guys will consider some of us gen 6 lovers part of this amazing and understanding Pokemon community.
The early-WW2 infantry anti-tank weapons, such as anti-tank grenades and anti-tank rifles, were quite ineffective, particularly those used by the Germans.
But the late-WW2 infantry anti-tank weapons, such as the Bazooka, Panzerfaust and Panzerschreck, seem so much better:
- able to fire from range/a much greater range
- vastly improved armour penetration, eclipsing that of many tanks (Panzerfaust and Panzerschreck)
- were reusable (Bazooka and Panzerschreck)
But how effective were they really?
The Bazooka had actually quite a low armour penetration value, around 70-100mm, but it was the first of its kind (that was mass produced and employed anyway) and also reusable. The Panzerschreck on the other hand had around 200mm, which is crazy high considering the most common anti-tank gun/tank cannon for the Germans around that time was the 75mm and had less penetration (though of course also able to fire at much greater distances). The Panzerfaust was not reusable, but also had extremely good penetration.
Also, what's up with the Germans producing and using both the Panzerschreck and the Panzerfaust at the same time? That just complicates the supply chain. Why not go with just one? I understand that they (probably) developed both to explore two different approaches to this kind of weapon and see which one is better, but once they figured out which one is better, it should be better to just stick with one, no? So then the logical conclusion must be that they were either stupid, or that those two weapons filled two very different roles in German infantry anti-tank doctrine. So, which one is it? If its the former, then which one was better? The Panzerschreck or the Panzerfaust? And if its the latter, then how were they used differently doctrine-wise?
Speaking of reusable (Bazooka, Panzerschreck) vs. single-use (Panzerfaust) infantry anti-tank weapons: The main difference here seems to be fixed (short term) costs vs. variable (long term) costs. The reusable weapons would have a greater fixed cost, as the launcher is more difficult to manufacture, but the variable costs would be lower, as one could just have to keep supplying the already existing launchers with new ammunition. You just need to produce new ammunition, as well as replace any worn out or lost launchers, but you don't need to always replace the entire weapon. Meanwhile with the single use weapon you would need to always produce an entirely new launcher as well as ammunition to replenish
... keep reading on reddit ➡Posting paparazzi type shit, acting like you know what is best for him. Micromanaging every aspect of his life, with very little context and a lot of assumptions. Yet he raps about it and people go crazy and say he should drop it or let it go. It's obvious that most of you have never been in love or been in a serious legitimate relationship. And are more than likely a shitty friend. Don't offer advice you aren't willing to take yourself. And put a fraction of effort in your actual relationships that you do in someone you don't know, and blindly do so with little context. It's pathetically hypocritical. Hopefully once you hit puberty you'll let this mindset go.
