    Gen z slang meaning "adulation."

    It means you jizzed all over them, i.e glazed them.

    It doesn't have anything to do with jizz lol. It like sweet talking. Like compliments.

    I thought that could be the meaning.. Wonder if Sam Altman knew that when he described ChatGPT’s recent extreme fawning in reply to every message as β€œtoo much glazing”. Jesus Christ. Edit: as if any metaphorical amount is desirable, btw. Just our leaders, that’s all.

    Broke: This is fine, everything is fine

    Woke: Weak men will create hard times

    I’m 42 and I own nothing of value, might as well just keep the good times rolling.

    38, just lost the 12 year old 267k miles car to an idiot my age in a brand new muscle car who was immediately on the phone to Daddy. It was one of the few things of value I had to my name. Was hoping to get 400k out of it. Instead I get a new car payment that I have no idea how I'm going to cover.

    The times are rolling, I'm not sure they're good.

    Weak men do create hard times. Weak men let their insecurity and greed make their decisions.

    Conservatives are weak. The generation that empowered Reagan, Trump, and every red tie inbetween was weak.

    They'll rationalize it, because at the end of the day, they're all about feelings rather than facts

    Nope. They got exactly what they voted for.

    Good times create weak men who think those good times came out of nothing and want an easy excuse on why they are being deprived of something they thing they are naturally entitled to. This excuse usually ends up being believing those who the good men who created those good times fought against.

    Tbh I wanna know why people keep saying this. The NASDAQ is almost back up to its YTD high.

    I know the NASDAQ doesn't mean much to the normal folks but to the people in charge that is "the economy"

    SPY is up 3% YTD while DXY (which measures the value of a dollar) is down 9% YTD. If you own shares of SPY, then you hold them in dollars, so the real change in value of your stock is [share price] x 1.03 x 0.91, which translates to being down over 6%.

    BUT not only is your investment value down, if you live in the US you presumably get paid in dollars as well. Which means you’ve gotten a 9% pay cut since the start of the year.

    Does DXY have inflation included in its calculation?

    DXY measures the US dollar against every other currency. So if the US dollar in isolation had a bunch of inflation (e.g. because the US government printed a ton of money), then that would be reflected in DXY.

    But if every major currency printed a ton of money at the same time, then DXY would not change because it’s only relative to other currencies.

    So it doesn’t calculate inflation directly, but it’s generally correlated with it.

    Double top chart pattern

    NASDAQ 5 Year Chart -- Yahoo Finance

    Half-joking. The technical data suggests there is a possible change in trend coming up. No guarantees. This is not trading advice.

    I thought about using the 5 year charts, but I decided against it because that would include things from the initial COVID lockdowns and I felt that skewed results. But the NASDAQ is up significantly from this time 5 years ago
