Re: Stocks & Bonds Game Thread
People should not have regret over things they could not foresee, because there are always a lot of those and it's unavoidable. None of us are Bitcoin billionaires. In hindsight, it would have been very easy to become a Bitcoin billionaire. But there was no way of foreseeing Bitcoin's trajectory, so regret is pointless and teaches the wrong lessons.
But if you failed to make money in a way that was foreseeable (you buried your cash in your back yard instead of putting it in a safe investment), then you should feel regret and that regret should inspire you to not do that again.

Re: Stocks & Bonds Game Thread
the correct answer is that the random distribution of wealth is immoral
Re: Stocks & Bonds Game Thread
lol
But no! I've been to Vegas, and I've gambled at way worse odds than what you just proposed (obviously)! But it was with money where I didn't care if I lost it. The gambling itself had entertainment value

Re: Stocks & Bonds Game Thread
i knew you were going to say this
the more detailed correct answer is that the random distribution of wealth is immoral, even for entertainment purposes
Re: Stocks & Bonds Game Thread
speaking of regret, my wife packed me a mini kitkat with my lunch. i was looking forward to eating it, but i couldn't find it.
i tried focusing. did i eat it, and have literally NO memory of doing so? that seems insane, i'ts been like 10 minutes since i opened my lunch. and i dont even have a chocolate taste in my mouth
i checked my waste basket to make sure. the wrapper is there. what the fuck!

Re: Stocks & Bonds Game Thread
Is it immoral on the level of, say, the random distribution of my seed
That kind of immoral

Re: Stocks & Bonds Game Thread
i don't know anyone who's life has been ruined by that so i'll say no (unless you live in michigan, then you're just being wasteful)
Re: Stocks & Bonds Game Thread
The pilgrim asked the Buddha: "O Buddha, how can you smile always? What is the secret of your eternal happiness?"
The Buddha opened his eyes and spoke. "The secret is this: I always clearly recall the taste of the mini kitkat I had for lunch."
The pilgrim hesitated, then replied. "But Buddha, you did not have a mini kitkat for lunch."
The Buddha merely smiled, and nodded. And at that moment, the pilgrim was enlightened.

He's a little bitch though who will just sit on your money until you decide to do something else with it, which is when he'll announce his new tiny car.
