I always assumed it was something to do with finance but I bought a house from a guy who was a "day trader" and he bought and sold things on Craigslist or picked up free stuff from Craigslist and sold it on ebay etc. He had a ton of junk in the garage but after he moved out people would come by the house trying to sell me things or looking for esoteric items.

It’s what unemployed people say who gamble with stock and option trading 😂
A true prop trader would be doing it full time at a firm and their title wouldn’t be day trader.

Just want some dating advice. I been seeing this guy and we both in for the long haul. He has this best friend, and basically I hate her. I’m a guy btw. She is like this dramatic annoying type who bosses around. I’m a very quiet guy and I don’t like drama. My SO really wants me to be friend with her but I genuinely hate her. The moment she steps in the room I’m like “argh you again”. We had an argument because I don’t wanna hang with her. I don’t know what to do. Advices would be super appreciat

I had the weirdest dream. Criminals were put in a gated community under observation and they had to successfully fake their own death to get out. They were given too many drugs and alcohol. But they end up killing each other or suiciding and no one is left. Once everyone kills themselves they bring in new inmates. It was insane.

My brain needs a rehab now. 🥺
