You make a great point, I completely agree. While the Orange Bumblefuck absolutely engaged in market manipulation, profiting by acting on non-public information is at the heart of insider trading, which I’m certain his accomplices did.

I corrected my first paragraph - it’s not “privileged information” as information on illegal activities isn’t legally protected nor legitimate business.

It isn’t technically privileged information - that’s generally understood to mean confidential information that is legally protected so that it does not have to be given to the public. What we’re working with is information about the actions the manipulator is taking to illegally manipulate the market.

It’s called insider trading as the trading is being informed by someone on “the inside” who knows something about (typically) legitimate business, generally for one company or an industry, the general public does not. Examples are new developments, earnings results, impending lawsuits, etc.

Edit: it’s early, I bungled the first paragraph so it got a rewrite.

Garbage grifters.

Fucking hell, Mark Geier’s son? The brain worms did a number on RFK, that’s pure idiocy.

Dog, I think we’re way past that point.

I suspect that tweet was to obfuscate the insider trading by his cronies.

Good luck! I always wondered if driving was a factor as it was only on my right side and driving requires a surprising amount of iliopsoas activity.

I had mystery testicular pain for years. It was crippling and no doctor could figure it out. I saw literally dozens of doctors, had several MRIs and CT scans, and nothing turned up. Then I went to university and learned all about human anatomy and thus I learned most urologists are surprisingly ignorant of the topic. Certainly every one I saw was.

It was two issues: I have a connective tissue disorder which led me to strain my cremaster muscle through daily activities, and I had compression of the genitofemoral nerve due to tight iliopsoas from working a desk job. I’ve included my protocol if you want to give it a try. It cured me and has helped a few gents I’ve corresponded with online. I’ve been mostly pain free for over a decade now, with it only recurring when I get lazy and don’t adhere to my system.

Cremaster strain: wear an athletic supporter with a plastic cup whenever possible. It needs to be tight enough to immobilize your testicles. After the pain starts to abate, stop wearing it in bed for a week or two, then for gentle walks, increasing in duration as tolerated. Eventually cease wearing it altogether, but still keep it for recurrences.

Bonus balls exercise: the cremaster muscle is originally a part of the obliques. For some (but not all) men, bicycle crunches with a hard “crunch” of the obliques at the end will result in contraction of the same side’s cremaster muscle. You’ll know if this is the case as your testicle will rise, as if by magic. Obviously do this exercise after the pain has started to resolve. This is also one way to see if the muscle is your issue: it may hurt when or after it contracts, but this isn’t always true

Genitofemoral nerve compression: firmly (but not too firmly) stretch your iliopsoas twice a day for 30s each. No more, no less. The “blaster pose” in this video is what I do.

Additionally, strengthen the same muscles doing the exercises found in this video.

That’s it! I hope this helps. Feel free to ask questions, I’m an open book.

Sure thing. It’s Tara Pellegrino from mypassporttoitaly.com . Good luck!

Good luck! If your granddad was Italian and you need any help getting the required supporting documentation, I know a great genealogist.

It has 60 days to be approved by parliament and there’s a lot of squawking about it being unconstitutional by immigration attorneys. As gross as it is, the more nationalist fucks are also against it for fairly racist reasons. They can’t stand the idea of Muslims getting citizenship before anyone else 🤮

I’m hoping if it does pass, it’ll still leave a route to citizenship for Italian descendants. We were literally getting ready to file when this dropped.

I expected better, i.e., she didn’t spend a single moment looking into Trump as a candidate and just believed everything he and his cronies said.

He donated about $1M to Trump’s campaign and nearly $2M to Republican political campaigns. These were first time donations of this size. He basically bought himself a pardon.

It’s all “State’s rights” with fascists until it’s more useful just to ignore and override them. You cannot trust what a fascist says, only what they do.

You’re right, we need both.The key to unseating Republicans is Democrats that are worth at least half a shit.

That’s one thing I love about the Lemmy community compared to Reddit. I was frequently downvoted to oblivion when asking simple questions, usually just asking for clarification, so I wouldn’t get an answer. That hasn’t happened to me once on Lemmy.

They’re me too. Hello, us!

My thoughts exactly!

I own a Tesla and I cheer at the news. While I don’t particularly want someone to burn mine before it sells, I wouldn’t begrudge whoever did it.
