A decade ago I was in my car at a stoplight, and there was a bunch of seagulls eating a discarded bag of fast food in the intersection.

When the light turned green, the car in front of me went slowly to give the seagulls a chance to fly away, but they didn't. Instead, the car's tire just slowly ran over a whole pile of seagulls, who just kept going after the fast food as they were run over. I just watched horrified as this played out.

Every once in a while, I just wonder why the seagulls never got out of the way despite how slow the threat was.

Anyway, looking at the bond market reminded me of this again today.

One always thinks death can be cheated. Only the others die. Everyone is special. And then they die.

😂

if it was whataburger I understand

Honey butter chicken biscuits will do that to you.

Brutal

Lyn be like:

Lololololol

But seriously

Janet Yelen forgot her booster seat that day

it's a nice made up story but the point is

good

Terrible story😵‍💫 (didn’t the driver honk?!?)

I was a sea gull and held onto my bond index funds, because Vanguard buy and hold ethos. Now my best hope is to:

A. Keep holding them while the 6.2 Duration cycles through.

B. Watch my 10% Bitcoin allocation solve a lot of problems. 😺

"We had an understanding..."

damn! ha that's a pretty metal analogy

Do you still eat fast food?

TIL: fast food is bad for one‘s health

Morbid and accurate 🫡

This reminds me of an old driver's license multiple choice question.

Q: You see a man crossing the road with a white cane, but the light is green for you. What do you do:

A. Step on the gas and honk the horn

Answers B,C,D were too boring to remember

Savage.

This is an ongoing Starknet debacle and what's indeed surprising is that after being run over once they come for more again.

Nostr Lyn is the best Lyn.

This story makes me want to know more about these bond markets of which you speak.

Damn. Lol.

Damn, and markets weren’t even open today…

They were very hungry and the danger came slowly.

Lol, Lyn chillll

People and the approaching global fascist governance…..but that was THOSE people getting crushed, not us, what is THIS tasty bit?

But the Bond market is save as long as they have the money printer 😃

It's just another frog in the boiling water metaphor.

Truely great metaphor 👏

Changes in tiny chunks are difficult to grasp, the boiling frog theory.

The boiling frog theory just got rebranded to "the squeezing seagull theory"

not to mention "advisors" who recommend those bonds for "safety"

Wow 🤩 Dark‼️

Good morning, everyone 😆

But try to remove the fast food from the life of normies - impossible. As long as they buy it, it will be sold, discarded and attracted by the seagulls. So the bond market.

this reminds me of my seagull story from when i was 18 years old down at Virginia Beach for vacation with friends after high school graduation. we were possibly inebriated while throwing bread to the seagulls outside of our balcony. hundreds of seagulls. just an incredible amount. we were laughing and rolling on the floor at them all fighting one another for the bread. then the people on the patio down below started yelling at us to stop feeding them, because they were pooping all over them. good times.

Seagulls are the new sheeps?

Who are we to think we're smarter than seagulls?

The hardest part is knowing some of the seagulls personally & having to watch as they willingly accept their fate, instead of using their freedom to seek a better opportunity elsewhere.

Lyn CRackhead Alden

Hi, I am among the unfortunate victims of the FTX scam, a situation that has resulted in the loss of my entire savings, totaling around $20,000.

The distressing aspect of this ordeal is not just the financial loss but the subsequent actions taken by SBF and Sullivan & Cromwell, the involved debtors. Following the success of their global heist, it appears that, rather than working towards justice for the affected customers, they are prioritizing their own interests, demonstrating a complete disregard for the well-being of those who have suffered.

To witness such blatant exploitation of innocent people for personal gain is not only disheartening but also raises concerns about the moral and ethical compass of those involved. Their actions can only be described as mentally and spiritually sick, going beyond mere financial misconduct.

The significance of this situation cannot be overstated for me, as the funds lost were an integral part of my financial stability. I am reaching out to you with the hope that you might consider extending a helping hand during this challenging time. Any assistance however small that you could provide to navigate through the complexities of this situation would be immensely appreciated.

I believe in the power of collective compassion and the willingness of individuals to make a difference in the lives of those facing adversity. I understand that you may have your own commitments and limitations, but even the smallest gesture can have a meaningful impact.

Thank you for taking the time to read my plea, and I sincerely hope that you may find it in your heart to offer assistance during this trying period. Your kindness will not be forgotten, and I am immensely grateful for any support you can provide.

Please save me.

Happened to me, too. But without fast-food. A pidgin was landing on the road ahead of me, so I slowed down to allow it to fly away. It kept sitting there while I rolled on. It was not killed by my tire but probably tried to nope out while under some moving part as I heard a short blender noise and saw a field of feathers in the back mirror. Guess that's natural selection at work.

Definitely thought this note was going to end with a comment on how unnaturally addictive fast food is.

YESTICLES.

#YESTR

maybe the seagulls were Urbanists like nostr:npub1x5nha4vaxattte4r7kf8mq2ey0ezd0ys0d940tv393ytjsw5a39saumul9 ?

urbanists believe that getting out of a car's way is victim blaming. that everything is the fault of cars, that you should never wear a helmet as a cyclist and always jaywalk as a pedestrian to show cars who the road belongs to.

one urbanist on Twitter always filmed his children crossing the street - he would put them on the road and film from the sidewalk hoping they get run over so he can use it for his social media. when i pointed out this was bad parenting he blocked me. you see trying to keep his children safe would have been victim blaming - but thanks to educators like nostr:npub1x5nha4vaxattte4r7kf8mq2ey0ezd0ys0d940tv393ytjsw5a39saumul9 Urbanists know better, because it's always the car's fault.

Good thing this story had seagulls and not crows. Crows are too smart to get run over.

Also, ChatGPT how to o short the bond market?

nostr:note1q4hmt9frm0h5g3vayhp0gfkcrmakpe5dcatse4uz7890xxtht4us3knm72

It’s a similar reason to the intensity humans are drawn back to fast food.

(Usually addiction to sugar and carbs)

There's something oddly comical about this story as dark and gruesome as it is

And you think if you save poor Anon, you could make them stop, don't you? You think if Anon lives, you won't wake up in the dark ever again to that awful screaming of the normies?

Poor seagulls 🪶

Like the seagulls fixated on the fast food despite the impending danger, investors often become fixated on certain assets or strategies, even when there are warning signs of potential risks or threats. They didn’t want to see the danger ⚠️

The survivors may look at this dangers in the next stoplight.. hopefully

some kind of inertia plus believing only in official sources. your story reminds me fat-cholesterol story in nutrition. Even though it's been proven many times that fat is not dangerous, some people and doctors still repeat the mantra about fat and cholesterol.

My guess is just because the threat was slow it went unnoticed.

Like booling a frog.

I watched seagulls pushing each other and literally climbing over one another trying to eat more.

They're used to being pushed, so they didn't realize the danger.

That is shocking behaviour and it makes me wonder if their brains don't function properly due to eating such an unnatural diet.

seagulls are exceptionally daft birds, as well as extremely greedy...

i had one swipe the top from a kebab in the main square of Varna two years ago, and ever since then i want to shoot them every time i see them...

thankfully their populations are thin here because there is no sandy beach, it's dangerous af for them to alight close to the water's edge, where there might be pickings to be had, and also for the same reason mostly people aren't sitting at the edge of the water eating picnics

but even still, whenever i see them fly past through the valley i fantasize about shooting them, they are one of natures most noxious creations

Like Bitcoiners when it comes to Monero.

I know your point was about the bond market, but I'm curious about this fast food that is literally to die for. What restaurant was it?

hah!!!

I hope the seagulls are okay today!
