I really do not like one of my coworkers.
She's in a different department so we don't really have to work together, but she's friends with someone I collaborate with and she comes over to our area a lot.
They always have the most inane conversations, mostly about her sex life and relationship drama (which is never detailed), which is always basic convo about how some guy is dumb.
It's really starting to get to me. How do I ignore them?

- 'Hell is other people' - John Paul Sartre. Perhaps you could join in their conversations enthusiastically and derail them. They are likely to take them...Morning_star
- ...elsewhere. Failing that, just tell them to STFU.Morning_star
- Sleep with her.shapesalad
- yeah pick her up, fuck her nice or at least try and if you fail, try harder, she will keep a proper distance.sted
- Start laughing at odd moments during their conversation - clearly in relation to it, but at points that shouldn't in any sane sense merit the laugh.Nairn
- Ever time she comes over, play the hit song 'Party time', by The Northern Boysshapesalad

Made £500 in 24 hours trading the FED rate and then BoE rate.
A few simple trades.One trade made £100 in 3mins. Lovely stuff.Right back to the boring design work...
- Return rate 1.95 | Win rate 70% | Profit/loss ratio 1.79:1shapesalad
- Far more intellectually challenging trying to predict and time trades, than moving some text around a layout.shapesalad
- betting is intellectually challenging?hans_glib
- betting isn't, trading is.shapesalad
- i think you may be confusing completing a technical task that requires intuition and ego flexing on the internet as intellectualism when its just endorphins butkingsteven
- yes, graphic design is workkingsteven
- I'm confused. but anyway, made an extra £50 while on a work call. Trading the volatility as the market figures out which way it's going = fun.shapesalad
- how does trading volatility looks like in real life, what are you doing exactly?sted
- Look at hourly chart for a USD/JPY pair - typically price only moves a certain amount each hour in a average week. Very pedestrian.shapesalad
- If you trade in those times, a sensible sized trade, after an hour if you got the full move of an hourly candle you are up maybe £20.shapesalad
- However since FED announcement and then BoJ trying to stop their currency crashing - the hourly candles are massive! Price is moving massively.shapesalad
- Pips they call it. So if you can figure out the right direction, within minutes with your normal safe trade size - you're up £100.shapesalad
- Basically you can make money quicker when market moves are big. It's more risky as you need to be quick. But it's super fun.shapesalad
- Do it again thendrgs
- that looks like simple technical trading on forex. I was hoping that you have some indexes like CBOEVIX or ASX200V, and trade the news/momentumsted

The Russia thread.
Unconfirmed! There are rumors that tomorrow at UN in New York, Biden is going to make the proposal that Russia Gets kicked out of the United Nations.

It definitely has a feel of its own but still SW.
The predominantly British accents on the cast, the music, just the way it's shot. Production on this seem so much better than Kenobi.

Russia-Ukraine Invasion
Putin is a reflection of a Soviet way of thinking that promulgates through much of Russian society. So don't assume that Putin's death will change much. In some strange way, Putin is great for the West because the longer he's alive, the longer we supply weapons and intelligence to Ukraine, the longer the Russia's prolongs this war, the less power this Soviet state of mind has in the World. After Putin there will be another Soviet "Tsar."

Signs your getting old?
Took my kids to the world's biggest bouncy house / castle this weekend. I ran up to the first one and launched a somersault, and very nearly passed out as something popped in my core. Thought I'd broken a rib but i think I've just strained a bunch of muscles. Now in agony every time i move my core, which as it turns out is quite a fucking lot. Thanks a lot 40!

I'm aware of the immorality of wishing anyone on this earth dead, but would it hurt Satan's angels to take Putin to his rightful resting place deep in the fires of hell, instead of needlessly taking the life of any one person stricken with Covid? Just this once?
