S&P leveled off at 17% below the all time high on Mon, as dip buying started overtaking selling. Still 3 years since the S&P last beat treasuries.

The lion kingdom's dueling positions have 1 position that falls during higher risk appetite & 1 position that rises during higher risk appetite.  The defensive position fell 1 day before the S&P bottomed out.

The lion kingdom's opinion is it's short term oversold but may not be at the bottom of a long term bear market.  Stonks went up so far in 2024, lions wouldn't know what to call a crash.

On Tue, it slowly melted down to -19%.  Then on Wed, foreign governments stopped buying bonds & Trump was out of runway.  He had to pause the tariffs on most countries because US owed too much.  The same thing happened to England in the Suez crisis of 1956. 


Then we got the bounce back to -12% on Wed.  A lot of commenters said they picked -17% as the bottom, on Sunday when it was too late of course.  Did they really just buy at that exact moment?  What happened to the commenters who picked -10%?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


It's true that comment sections began filling up after 2020.  A generation moved to online relationships with imagined partners & never moved back.  The mane cause seemed to be the workforce no longer attending offices.  There was a big jump in that time & it slightly subsided when office attendance became artificially enforced.

The animal brain has evolved to treat the comment box & the engagement hustler as basically a modern marriage.  Guys write lengthy comments which are never read.

Is it really all that bad that comment boxes & imagined empathy from influencers have replaced real dialog among animals?  Part of what they're doing is working out problems & writing down plans when they're commenting.  It's not entirely imagined benefit.  Most men never have any intimate relationships.  They might be having more intimate relationships in the current age of the comment box than any other time in animal history.

Lions never felt real loneliness, even going back to memory #1.  Lions felt anxiety from the prospect of not having an animal or being left behind by a group.  Certain sounds make lions imagine a past time of loneliness, but have no memory of living through such a time. 

A life of roommates, failed marriages, social gatherings, & dating during times of trying to get over someone showed being around animals wasn't what the media cracked it up to be.  If you're not a 3 letter job title, obesity, health problems, farts, snores, mood swings, limited mobility are going to be part of your life.

It might be more because of the social order than animals being fundamentally unpleasant.  Social order is where the difficulty is.  You can't really override it, decide equals are going to attract, decide men are going to be selected for fitness & women for finances.

What would it take for AI to be a legit replacement for a romantic partner?  Lions believe the stories about gen Z getting satisfaction from AI are spam.  Text might work for someone under 20.  It's really going to take a silicone padded humanoid.

The pianist was a hard movie to watch, over 3 days.  The lion kingdom isn't sure if it's more or less depressing than Schindler's List.  Many scenes in the movie were staged exactly like photos in kiwipedia.  WWII movies are generally easy to make, since there's an abundance of real, dire material. The period from 1990-2010 saw a shift from the rhetorical speeches of John Wayne, George C Scott, Charlton Heston to intimate views of desperate suffering & hunger.  Lions aren't sure whether movies lightened back up for millennials or if they stopped being made to keep millennials happy. It's not possible to know what's going on without realizing it's a true story & having prior knowledge of the fall of Warsaw, the ghetto, the uprising, the planned destruction, & the Warsaw robinsons.  Thus, it requires already knowing the ending. The lion kingdom was surprised he was outed by an attainable woman while the trophy wife helped him survive.  Most of ...

   Amusing that Grok applied an IPv6 style pseudo header to the computation of an IPv4 ping packet, even though IPv4 doesn't use the pseudo header.       Another Grok error was in a basic TCP demonstrator.  To avoid a TIMED_WAIT on the server blocking the port, you have to exit the server without closing the socket.   These errors take a lot more time to track down than doing it the old way.  It might be fixed in paid versions of Grok. The solution to everything ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2nd Krispy Kreme run.  Always a satisfied mane after 6 miles.  Always a horrible bloating, after 13 miles.  Noted the half marathon times with mane feedings are on pace for the lion kingdom's best full marathon time.  Lions took a step down from their maximum power delivery in the shortest time when the leash enabled food breaks.  Before then...

 The lion kingdom's 3rd or 4th rewatching of The Martian, not including the book, brought more questions than answers. https://heroineworshiper.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-martian.html     Surely, an explosive air lock event would have been confined to just the airlock & not damaged the mane greenhouse. The cycle fatigue would have manifested itself as a slow leak long before.  The book had him restarting some food growth after the explosion.  We now know a lot of bacteria can survive in space for a long time & we now have far more capability to send a resupply payload.  The business of traveling across the country to have every single dialog seemed overdone in 2025, but might have been more justified in 2015.  It was manely for dramatic effect. 10 years on, the clueless executive assistant is a world class hottie.  She's now 52. After 50 years of Mars movies, it's pretty boring.  Young lion 1st noticed how boring a purely red landscap...
