Is there a minimum age for setting up a Charitable Remainder Trust?
When you tried first time on CRT, and it does not working out pretty well

You’re looking at the rules for the non-charitable annuity stream of a charitable remainder annuity trust (CRAT) which is one type of CRT. The other is a “unitrust” (CRUT). The charitable portion in both, however, is the remainder value (minimum 10%), not the lead stream.
Gender / CRT / marxist social science studies are the biggest scam of all time. Literally going into debt to be indoctrinated and have a negative contribution to whatever business hires you. Literally exploiting poor students, women and minorities struggles for money
You say that, but really there are hardware designers and performance minded developers that keep saying that game devs \*could\* with relatively little effort optimize their games just with some simple simplifications that are well placed. You don't need fully rendered pebbles on the ground. The newest CoD renders a whole ass city that's just part of the skyline. There are plenty of massive wastes of performance that developers could quite easily deal with, but they just don't because hardware has become so damn cheap, especially storage. Good art direction for instance, not even actual game engine implementation, can identify where you sacrifice a smidge of detail, for basically the same visual effect, but have a very disproportionate performance savings. Some old games designed for CRT screens even managed to get 3d-like effects out of 2d-sprites by smart art direction. I think there's a certain phenomenon where developers are trying to make a game cinematic from every single angle in free cam, which is pretty silly, games are going to, for the majority of the time, be played from the perspective of an active player, not reviewing replays either for yourself or content creation. Just an example, think of Doom Eternal, it looks fantastic, with very cool environments, and being fairly space and performance efficient. If you look under the hood then yeah there's some oddities, but they're not going to be seen by a player playing normally.
For reference it’s a 20 inch CRT
finally someone said it proper... forced liquidity event, which is very much different than a short squeeze ( which are almost impossible to happen in the current market ) WHY cant a short squeeze happen in large float stocks with many shareholders ... it's all about knowing who has stock ... some quick history the department that lends the stock is called stock loan, it's the money maker of a brokerages ( it pays all the bills )... before 1966, stock loan would know what it could lend in the morning and then again in the afternoon, 2 print runs. by 1976 it was every hour you knew your sortable inventory and it was on a CRT. By 1984 it was every minute update. now, it's every minute. You can short to your hearts content, because inventory shows up somewhere and if you have the account at somewhere, they will lend to you, which gives them the hopeful opportunity to re-lend later to someone else. This means, if you are lending the stock out, you are making money off someone else first purchase. the more you lend and re-lend ( when it's in house ), the more you can make for the firm. This is why brokerage houses love shorter's accounts, it prints them money. $ 25000 worth of stock lent out on a rate of 6% = 4.17 now imagine, You do this at $25 million on one stock per day is about 4166. most stock loan departments I knew back in the 80's were running books lending out average $140 million per day in house and another 25 million outside. that's a lot of money printed daily.
A. Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) • Contribute appreciated stock to a trust. • The trust sells the stock without triggering capital gains tax. • You receive an income stream for life or a fixed term, and the remainder goes to charity. • Can be powerful if your goal includes philanthropy and income smoothing. ⸻ B. Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) • Donate appreciated shares directly. • You avoid capital gains tax on the donated portion and get an immediate charitable deduction. • Useful if you already give to charity annually and want to front-load donations in a tax-efficient way. ⸻ C. Exchange Fund (Private Placement) • Contribute your concentrated stock into a pooled fund managed by a financial institution. • You get a diversified basket of stocks in return, without an immediate tax event. • Best for very large positions (typically $1M+). • Downside: lock-up periods (7+ years), lack of liquidity, and accreditation requirements. ⸻ D. Gradual Selling with Annual Gain Management • Sell the stock in tranches over several years, using: • Annual capital gains allowances • Offset from harvested losses or charitable giving • Realizing gains strategically in lower tax-bracket years • Simpler than some trust structures but requires discipline. ⸻ E. Covered Calls (Partial Hedging) • If selling isn’t immediately appealing, selling covered calls can generate income and help reduce downside risk gradually. • However, it’s not a direct diversification tool, and there can be tax implications and assignment risk.
Fifa 98 on the Nintendo 64 was goated. I remember I used to play my N64 on an old CRT TV that my parents had no remote for and its sound was set to max for some reason so I always had to close my door to play. I also remember that my 3rd grade teacher was late once like 10mins so I just went home with a friend to play FIFA 98, thinking the teacher didn’t come. The school called my mum asking where I was and my mom was pissed lol
High speed internet was new. I think it was like 1mb up and down on Cable we got a T1 installed because we needed the bandwidth. That was like 5mb-10mb but we had the fastest internet in campus. We also had napster in those days, Mirc was huge for chatting. Desktop with 4 CRT monitors special desk for the monitors were kinda under the desk looking down through a glass. To run 4 monitors you need a motherboard with 4 PCI slots so you can install 4 video cards. Which ran hot as hell. IBM clicky keyboards. Standard set up in 2001.
Fun fact for the fuzzy TV guy: it's because every old CRT set had a fly back transformer holding up to 30k volts. Every household in America had, with a couple of crossed wires, an industrial electric execution device in their house
My dad was a very average insurance salesman in the 90s. He had just bought his first home (in his mid-40s), a boring new construction box in some boring suburb. He drove an old suburban, struggled to buy new clothes for us kids at the start of each school year, and we never went on vacation more than 2 hours from home. Then, one day I came home, and we had a brand new leather couch. Not long after, a beautiful giant hardwood media center with like the biggest CRT TV that could be made (I think it was like 35"). Giant Boston acoustics floor standing speakers and wall-mounted surrounds hooked up to a huge Denon receiver—unheard of technology in my social class of the day. Soon, he pulled up in a brand new suburban, _towing a brand new ski boat_. The same year, he acquired his dream car: a used but late model BMW 3 series convertible (I guess that was just the car that younger him thought of as "I've made it.") My senior year of high school in 2000, he took the whole family on a vacation _to a motherfucking Caribbean island_. A cheesy all-inclusive resort, mind you. But we were simple people. It might as well have been a private lakeside villa in Northern Italy in our experience. Suddenly he wasn't so worried about paying for summers camps. College scholarships were no longer pushed as an urgent necessity. Life was good. We were never _wealthy_, but it was a hugely significant lifestyle change for the whole family. And what, you ask, precipitated this sudden and considerable windfall? My dad had somehow made a ridiculously ill-informed pre-IPO investment in the stock of a company called..._MP3.com_. And, thankfully, he quickly sold it after he made an incredibly stupid amount of money (for a man of his...means at the time). Never since has he ever picked another winner like he did in 1999, but neither did he crash back down to his previous financial status. He also invested some of his gains in his own business, which he grew over time and did just fine for himself.
You have allowed yourself to literally swallow the ugly lies about CRT.
You forgot Hunter Biden’s laptop and the CEOs of DEI, ESG, CRT, BLM, WHO, UNESCO, and ANTIFA
I also had a Macintosh CRT all in one.
> you watch movies on youtube? I personally don't, but have friends who do occasionally. I mean think about it. Youtube's ubiquitous and when you're on vacation and wanna watch something on your laptop because the hotel's tv is some 90s CRT and it's not available on Netflix or whatever other sub you're on, that's one alternative.
I finally got a nice dvd/vhs side-by-side deck for my vintage 1989 Panasonic CRT and its fucking awesome. Got 'Rob Roy' playing and its weirding my dog out due to the lower frame rate. She watches the flat screen like a hawk and barks at anything resembling another animal. This though, she cant make heads or tails of and just looking, head tilted.
Back in the good ol days of the NYSE you stood on the sales floor and threw gang signs at a chainsmoking guy with gigantic glasses that sat behind a wall of CRT monitors There was class.
You're splayed out on the thick carpeted floor of your grandparents house out in the country —warm under a big fuzzy blanket depicting a jungle leopard scene, or your friends wood paneled basement, or your own house on the couch when you got the rare opportunity of the tv and living room to yourself at night. You're attention is completely and solely focused on the flashing images and sound of a CRT TV. Those too young to remember, or ever experience it will, sadly, never know the comfort and narcotized delight of watching vcr movies or cable tv at night in the 80s and 90s on a CRT TV. There was no other distraction, besides getting up to get more snacks or a pop. The TV *was* the distraction. Even the commercials were part of a story. Playing Nintendo games on mute late at night in your room on a shitty old Panasonic with a rolling screen that had to be smacked. Sneaking downstairs using the noise of the big air conditioner compressor for noise cover to turn on the big living room tv to stand and silently watch soft-core porn on Showtime at 1am. Four pimply teenagers sitting on the edge of a basement room bed, laser focused on their own tiny square of a 14" Golden Eye screen until dawn. This is what we lost, through more efficient technology, and the proliferation of screens. The relatively new LED flat screens are more efficient, but a much simpler less complex technology. The only thing holding back its proliferation was cost of materials and manufacturing processes. The CRT on the other hand, is essentially a magic box, a complex clock work of circuits, wires, lasers, and vacuums. That's what ruined us, the loss of the shared screen. As far back in the 80s as I can remember, my parents always had a tv in their room, but it was only to watch late night tv before passing out. The main screen in the living room was the main focal point, the central hearth of the home where we spent the most time together. That was good, what we had, with out tv's back then.
>Sounds a bit like *socialist trans DEI The Woke Mind Virus©™® HUSSEIN obama CRT kamala soros killary* communism too?
I read a tweet from a historian a few months ago that basically said "Empires don't collapse from external threats. They collapse because people get board and fuck shit up." That's it. The US has been dominant in almost all aspects of world politics and economy since the end of WW2. Easily the single post powerful entity in the history of humanity. But that wasn't good enough for US conservatives, who kept looking for more things to be unhappy with or afraid of. So they invented bogeymen. DEI, CRT, trans people, gay agendas. They couldn't just go "hey guys, we won world economic, cultural, and political dominance, isn't this great?" Because they got bored. They don't have the imagination to dream of ever making things better. They only could imagine made up fears and lash out. Because they could never conceive of doing anything else.
American voters' choices are influenced by their understanding of current events, and Democrats are completely failing to influence that understanding. Republicans take issues that they care about - whether it's the moral panic over trans people, or the whining about CRT and DEI, or the nonsense about immigrant crime - and they force it into mainstream political discourse. Democratic leadership, meanwhile, has become so obsessed with chasing public opinion polling and appealing to "moderate Republicans" that they've lost their political identity and forgotten that their job is to create positive change. When Democrats allow the Republicans to define what the major political issues of the day are, they just wind up constantly fighting on Republicans' terms. Trump's victory was a fuckup of enormous proportions, yes, and it does not reflect well on American voters, but responsibility for that fuckup falls largely at the feet of the Democratic establishment and their incompetence as political leaders and campigners.
Critical thinking is too close to CRT
Because they're mined, you need a mine with them in it, in order to mine them. There was one in California up until the mid '90s but that became exhausted. As much of the production was being used for making CRT TVs the old big and heavy ones that became obsolete in the early 2000s. You can't just create a mine out of thin air and wishful thinking.
You've been tinkering in your basement on a time machine for a few months. Your family is worried about you, the neighbors rush their kids along when they see you getting the mail, even your dog is concerned. Then one night it happens, you wire the defraction coils of a 1989 CRT tv to a supercharged radiospectrometer and boom, a wavering watery mirror appears by the wood paneled wall. It shrinks and grows, shrinks and grows. You put one hesitant finger in at first, your dog is whining and pawing at your leg stop, but its too late, you are either pushed or pulled in the rest of the way, you cant tell. The next thing you know you're in the year 2083, you're holding the frail, wizened hand of Taylor Swift. You're in her hospital room, the two of you alone for the moment. She tries to say something out of her spittle crusted lips "....dommas kin...kin..caid...." she mumbles looking up at the ceiling. Its striking how much time has robbed from her, but you can still see that spark of exceptional beauty peaking through the paper thin curtains on her face. She looks up at you though cloudy eyes with a hint of recall. What do you say?
And Pelosi, and Soros, and Hunter’s laptop, and DEI, and the woke agenda, and CRT, and….
A big issue is likely to be that China is restricting the sale of 10+ "Rare Earths". 3 have been restricted for a couple of years now but they've just added 7 new ones to the list. The sales of which have been paused for 90 days, whilst they develop an export licence system for them. Included in the list is Yttrium. It used to be used for making CRT TVs (the old big ones from the early 2000s and before). But it's main use now is making jet engines. Unless you coat the fan blades with it theyllt melt within a few hundred hours of use. When a jet engine should last tens of thousands of hours, with routine maintenance. There's currently, basically no other suppliers of it. The last US mine for it, was in California and closed in the mid '90s. It's possible that new sources could be found and at an elevated price level could be worth mining. But it's likely to take years to come on stream. In the meantime Rolls Royce, GE, P&W and Safran (make CFM jet engines with GE) could be totally screwed for both the civil and military markets. Which would screw Boeing and Airbus. You can't build a plane without engines and engines only lasting say 500 hours aren't financially viable at today's ticket prices.
Context: Shadow animation is of characters from the series Touhou Project. Song is a cover of the song Bad Apple from Touhou Project, specifically the 1998 game Lotus Land Story. The BW animation + song was made by some fan group and reposted in the late 2000s to YouTube, becoming extremely viral with over 100m views. Since then, the internet has made it their quest to port the animation to every medium possible, much like running DOOM on anything. People have ported it to paper animation, oscilloscopes, CPU registers, the r/place canvas, flip books, CRT screens, graphing and online calculators, and even the Windows Task Manager and File Manager. Here’s a playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrjpwekK1wIAhdAOTmRyAryvpm45MutRu Some background about Touhou since it’s really interesting, Touhou Project is a bullet hell shoot ‘em up video game series with 19 games since 1997. The game, art, and music were almost entirely made by the single developer, ZUN, and it has influenced many indie games, especially Undertale, and is considered one of the pioneers of indie games. You can see the similarities between Toby Fox and ZUN, and they even collaborated recently on a song! Here is an example of gameplay: https://youtu.be/zZu2O_JQ4vs Touhou is especially notable for its broad influence beyond what you think would be possible, even besides indie games. Many Geometry Dash songs are remixes of or inspired by Touhou music. Youmuu’s Ghostblade in League of Legends is a reference to the character Youmu, and Lux and Orianna (and their kits) are influenced by the characters Marisa and Youmu respectively. It’s also referenced in Call of Duty, Factorio, World of Warcraft, Scott Pilgrim, and Path of Exile, as well as many popular Minecraft/Terraria mods. Fumos are popular, derpy, and expensive plushies of characters, which started with Touhou. They have a sort of fanatic fanbase. For some reason, they like to make Gus Fring/Giancarlo Esposito take photos with them. However, by far the largest influence that Touhou has is on doujin subculture. It’s a bit hard to explain, but it’s similar to fan fiction, encompassing all mediums. Unfortunately, it’s used nowadays to refer more to the 18+ type of content. While there are a lot of fan animations, games, and comics (both family-friendly and not), the single most important aspect about Touhou is the doujin music. Unlike covers (which it includes), doujin music encompasses all music taking motifs and themes from the original source, similar to remixes. Touhou is the origin of Black MIDI, where fans had fun making an impossible cover of the song UN Owen Was Her, as well as other Touhou songs that spread to YouTube. Of course, it was inspired by Marc-Andre Hamelin and others, but the catalyst was Touhou. It was also the origin of Brony music, which became popular after Jessa Stebbins, a Touhou Eurobeat artist at the time, released their Eurobeat song Discord, which became popular and later remixed by The Living Tombstone. However, even more important than that is all the other music that makes up Touhou doujin music. The amount of it made is staggering, so much that it is considered its own genre, becoming or starting the careers of thousands of Japanese music artists. Due to this, ZUN is likely one of the most-covered musicians of all time. All the original songs by ZUN were 8-bit, and remixed by musicians into anything possible. Most notably, Touhou has extensive doujin musicians in the areas of electronic, metal, jazz, J-Pop, and bossa nova. Notable Touhou metal bands include Tears of Tragedy, Imperial Circus Dead Decadence, Thousand Eyes, Draw the Emotional/yuyoyuppe, Demetori, Undead Corporation, Foreground Eclipse, and Unlucky Morpheus. Notable J-Pop artists include Hanatan, Kisida Kyoudan, Shinra-Bansho, Butaotome, nanahira, Aitsuki Nakuru, and Cool&Create. For the jazz and bossa nova genres in particular, ShibayanRecords is one of the most famous, and you may have heard their song Tiny Little Adiantum, which got ripped uncredited, added a shitty backing track and went viral as the song Omae Wa Mou. Other jazz/bossa nova artists include Tokyo Active NEETs, tohobu, Swing Holic, xi-on, and Swing of the Dead. Finally, for the electronic music, where Touhou has arguably the most influence. There are dozens of popular Japanese electronic artists who make Touhou doujin music, including Kurokotei, t+pazolite, Redalice, beatMario, Nhato, IOSYS, Laur, Kobaryo, USAO, Katagiri, and Sound Holic. Many of these artists are extremely influential in rhythm games, composing a large part of their music. In particular, Redalice is responsible for the music of many VTubers, and IOSYS is responsible for the viral song you may have heard of VTuber Shigure Ui, Shukusei!! Loli Kami Requiem, otherwise known as that annoyingly catchy anime song accompanied by a little blond girl dancing. Sorry for the big exposition, I had nothing better to do. If you’re a fan of any of the aforementioned genres, please check the bands out.

Touhou is the origin of Black MIDI, where fans had fun making an impossible cover of the song UN Owen Was Her, as well as other Touhou songs that spread to YouTube. Of course, it was inspired by Marc-Andre Hamelin and others, but the catalyst was Touhou. It was also the origin of Brony music, which became popular after Jessa Stebbins, a Touhou Eurobeat artist at the time, released their Eurobeat song Discord, which became popular and later remixed by The Living Tombstone. However, even more important than that is all the other music that makes up Touhou doujin music. The amount of it made is staggering, so much that it is considered its own genre, becoming or starting the careers of thousands of Japanese music artists. Due to this, ZUN is likely one of the most-covered musicians of all time. All the original songs by ZUN were 8-bit, and remixed by musicians into anything possible. Most notably, Touhou has extensive doujin musicians in the areas of electronic, metal, jazz, J-Pop, and bossa nova. Notable Touhou metal bands include Tears of Tragedy, Imperial Circus Dead Decadence, Thousand Eyes, Draw the Emotional/yuyoyuppe, Demetori, Undead Corporation, Foreground Eclipse, and Unlucky Morpheus. Notable J-Pop artists include Hanatan, Kisida Kyoudan, Shinra-Bansho, Butaotome, nanahira, Aitsuki Nakuru, and Cool&Create. For the jazz and bossa nova genres in particular, ShibayanRecords is one of the most famous, and you may have heard their song Tiny Little Adiantum, which got ripped uncredited, added a shitty backing track and went viral as the song Omae Wa Mou. Other jazz/bossa nova artists include Tokyo Active NEETs, tohobu, Swing Holic, xi-on, and Swing of the Dead. Finally, for the electronic music, where Touhou has arguably the most influence. There are dozens of popular Japanese electronic artists who make Touhou doujin music, including Kurokotei, t+pazolite, Redalice, beatMario, Nhato, IOSYS, Laur, Kobaryo, USAO, Katagiri, and Sound Holic. Many of these artists are extremely influential in rhythm games, composing a large part of their music. In particular, Redalice is responsible for the music of many VTubers, and IOSYS is responsible for the viral song you may have heard of VTuber Shigure Ui, Shukusei!! Loli Kami Requiem, otherwise known as that annoyingly catchy anime song accompanied by a little blond girl dancing. Sorry for the big exposition, I had nothing better to do. If you’re a fan of any of the aforementioned genres, please check the bands out.
Propaganda. Fox, the largest news network by far, removed the Dow ticker from their channel twice this week when markets tanked. For the first and second time since 1980's. The ticker thats burned into millions of TV's nationwide. 2024 was the first year majority of working class voted for a party that hates unions, refuses to raise minimum wage, and spent decades cutting any social programs that help poor people. Why? They didn't vote for Republicans, they see themselves as voting against the "Woke CRT DEI agenda". Republicans propaganda networks are so powerful and wide reaching that they got people to vote for them out of spite of the party that actually wants to help
I think it's worse than that. I think they've all been in their own echo chamber for too long, and they don't like that people who cared about DEI and CRT were doing a good job. I think they honestly thought that they could do better without all that "woke" nonsense. Now they are flailing, desperately, and will continue to double down until we have a stock market crash or worse. They simply cannot see that their way of thinking is wrong. If they admit that they are wrong about the economy, then they have to admit they were wrong about Biden. Which means they will have to admit a lot of other things, like how covid was real. Their entire self image is built on liberals being wrong. They can't give it up now.
They were coded dog whistle bs just like CRT, bussing and welfare queens. The next election cycle, there will be new terms.
There was a novel I read when I was a kid, maybe when I was a teenager - this was 30 years ago now, so I don't remember anything else about it. Maybe it was a cold war spy thriller, or maybe it was a crime whodunnit or some other kinda mystery, but there was a passage in it where the narrator wrote how everybody knows where they were when Kennedy was assassinated. He was driving home from work, and named the street he was on - the music on the radio was interrupted with a newsflash and the traffic just slowed and pulled to a stop; people got out of their cars and looked around, shaking their heads at each other. A car drove past and honked its horn, at the cars blocking the road, because obviously the driver didn't have his radio on. That passage stuck with me all this time, but I never really understood it until September 2001 when people were talking about turning on the TV, and we saw planes crashing into New York office buildings. I'll bet you you ask anyone who was alive that day, who's old enough to remember it and who lived in the West, and they'll tell you exactly where they were when they heard about 9-11, and what they were doing when they saw that on TV. They'll remember it exactly - they didn't see it on the internet, because the internet was too slow in those days (for most people); they probably saw it on a CRT TV because flatscreens wouldn't become affordable for another 3 to 5 years. About Trump's actions this week, the history books will quote Mark Carney: "The global economy is fundamentally different today than it was yesterday. The system of global trade anchored on the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership is over. While this is a tragedy, it is also the new reality."
Too many letters. I don’t think this new phrase will catch on. Needs to be 3 letters max: FJB, CRT, DEI, SJW etc
boomer just took a picture of his 17" CRT monitor. the bottom is in.
Rewatched that this week and you could legitimately just do a find and replace in the script: swap in cryptos and meme stocks and the only incongruity would be the CRT monitors.

1) BLS calculates CPI, not the Fed. 2) All of the changes it made are very obviously good ones that clearly make the measure more accurate. Which of these exaclty do you object to and why? * Quality adjustments: It used to just treat "a computer" as "a computer" for example, which is really fucking dumb, since that would be acting as if a 64 gb RAM, 4050 GPU, i7 CPU monster of a modern laptop that fits in your bag is the same product as a 1998 apple school computer with like 32 megabytes of RAM, a 2,000x slower processor, monochrome CRT display that could barely handle Oregon Trail. * The CPI actually DOES account for substitutions to an extent now, i.e. it partially ADDRESSED the issue you complained about earlier with steak and ground beef, and did NOT used to do so. So your complaint applies less now than it did in the 80s * They did a bunch of stuff that just saves some money in calculating the numbers and stuff like that but doesn't actually matter, such as changing between new car price (eventually will depreciate to zero) and counting each resale as the depreciation in that time period (adds up to the same thing in the end), etc. Or making their surveying process cheaper https://www.bls.gov/cpi/additional-resources/historical-changes.htm Here's the full list. Please indicate which changes you think are bad and why from here, either, if I didn't put them in the highlights.
I agree with your point that media is owned by corporations and those corporations are usually fiscally conservative in the sense of preferring few regulations and tax cuts. which... I think is very logical in their position. No one WANTS to pay taxes -- we endure it for the supposed greater good. But! These corporations also support very liberal social agendas. From LGBT rights to DEI/CRT to Palestine. Media is largely anti-Trump/anti-MAGA/anti- anything that even appears to support traditionalism. Which, I totally am fine with because I'm not a traditionalist. But I see how our culture has largely become skewed against that. For obvious reasons. I mean traditionalism is associated with the antebellum period which was riddled with racism and sexism and homophobia and we don't want to go back to that. I don't think we need to throw the baby out with the bath water though. Many members of society truly benefit from a traditional lifestyle and we should demonize that in the media just because it's not our preference. Not saying you are just more of a rant about our cultural impasse in the states.
When from woke to CRT to DEI because his base is stupid
Correct, and beer brands have been doing pro-LGBT stuff for like a decade plus, it just happened to blow up because of the massive right wing anti-trans bigotry being pushed by MAGA. The reality is though, the outrage was actually created by an astroturfing campaign that was manufactured and not organic at all. The right just fell right into it, being played for their inability not to fall into partisan cultural outrage at every little thing. Anti-CRT was also an astroturfing campaign to make the right angry.
I'm sorry but you are wrong. I've worked for multiple tech companies and have seen it at each one first hand. I can read the job descriptions on education and government roles that clearly state only everyone but a white Caucasian male will be considered for the role. You are lieing and justifying your existence because you make money pretending it doesn't use discrimination to achieve your goals. DEI was not applied in a way to eliminate bias. It was applied the easiest way possible by simply discriminating against the people you think are racist. Just because you pretend something doesn't exist doesn't mean it doesn't exist. CRT absolutely is real. How can you literally have conferences that support and talk about CRT if it doesn't exist? Again, if DEI didn't discriminate and looked into methods of eliminating bias through process changes and not discrimination, Trump wouldn't have won. Stop pretending like HR isn't lazy and incompetent. They will do the easiest possible thing to achieve their targets.
I am a DEI professional and I can tell you in my space they are not throwing resumes in the garbage. You seem to think the discrimination policies do not apply universally. Even if they didn’t, DEI driven HR would result in better hiring practices, not worse. It is odd that you frame this as though White men are suffering. They are not, unless they are disabled, or part of the LGBTQ+ community. DEI, like CRT are terms that have been weaponized for a certain demographic to build a victim narrative, your opinion isn’t helping. In the space of a week, I was racially profiled twice, and stood next to a guy who dropped n bombs o discriminatory. I will never visit those businesses again. So if the response to a diversifying population is to ban diversity, you’ve already lost. The stocks are tanking because the world has lost faith in the bigoted ignorance and incompetency driving market uncertainty.
🤦 lol it doesn't exist bud what can a white person do that a black can't? Please tell me... remember CRT or remember affirmative action yeah.......
1) I don’t think that’s true—I don’t think enough swing voters were motivated by that for it to make a difference. 2) You don’t think Fox News would just say ‘they’re lying’? 3) You don’t think Republicans would find a new ‘divisive social issue’? This has happened multiple times in my lifetime. CRT, political correctness, ‘women’s lib,’ partial-birth abortion, gay marriage? You think if the Democrats rolled over on this one it would stop?
Or some ancient CRT monitor from a public school auction.
The new generation don't know how heavy CRT TVs are
$CRT chart looks priced for a break out. floor at $1.13. up up 6% after hours.
No it's the CRT training, remember that gem from 8 years ago.
The DTCC has a room on the top floor with 20 key slots. They are based on the design from the hit 1995 bond film, Goldeneye. Each hedge fund manager, CEO, government official, etc has a key. They must all agree at the same time to turn their keys. Sometimes it takes a few tries because they are bad at it, and only like 18 of them turn the key at the same time. They’re old and stuff. Once they finally get it right, the 110” CRT screen displays a final message: ”Dump everything WSB is celebrating” But what they don’t know is that a second DumpItEye system was constructed in secret…. I am barely still green today lmao

BLM, CRT, woke, DEI- hmmm I I see what all these “enemies” have in common. I’ll bet Elon’s little racist baby boy could tell you.
But what about CRT. I guess that boogeyman is gone now huh? Only here for 2022 then gone like a fart in the wind.
It was easy to see on CRT televisions
Yeah and I was in both SF and San Diego within the past few months, live in Idaho now with a large migrant population, and am from the deep south where just about all of the ag labor came from seasonal migrants doing all the work the locals didn't want to do out in the fields when it was as hot as Satan's asshole and as moist as his taint. This circlejerk rage bait is just the latest lightning rod in an ongoing series of lightning rods, jangling keys, and laser pointers that these folks will get riled up on like clockwork whenever they're supposed to just like every other dumbass buzzword that's just a stand-in for whoever you're supposed to hate at any given time. Migrants today, CRT tomorrow, drag queens on Tuesday, DEI Wednesdays, trans people on Thursdays, vaccines on Fridays and sometimes the weekends, Sunday rest for the Lord, you get the idea. The motherfucker you're replying too has likely never had any one of these people directly impact their lives in any meaningful way but they're at the ready to hate to the core whatever the token minority of the day is.
The woke CRT BLM is coming for you, get under the bed
· 13 U.S. soldiers dead in Biden's botched Afghanistan withdrawal · Handing out $13 TRILLION in newly-printed money, causing inflation to spike and necessitating high interest rates that make homeownership and entrepreneurship impossible · 2 straight quarters of declining GDP, and a rash of bank failures · >2 million illegals entering per year · >100k drug overdose deaths in the U.S. in 2021 · 87k new IRS agents to declare war on small businesses · record oil prices · record inflation and supply chain shortages · war in Europe and the Middle East with the Biden administration not able to broker peace and actively defending Hamas while tolerating rising Anti-Semitism · more Covid deaths under Biden than President Trump · children being groomed and brainwashed by CRT/trans grade school curricula · stock market and 401(k)s in the dumpster after 0 net gains in the S&P500 in 2 years · mortgage rates skyrocketing, making housing unaffordable · 100s of thousands of small companies put out of business by Biden lockdowns · children’s educational outcomes and mental health damaged by remote learning and mask mandates · selling VP influence through one’s son to China/Ukraine/etc. as confirmed by the now verified Hunter Biden laptop (remember “10% for the Big Guy?”) · a massive transfer of wealth from blue collar to white collar workers via student loan “forgiveness” – i.e. taxpayers pay the debt
Regardless of the monitor type (OLED, IPS and CRT - these are types of technologies for monitors) Rocket lab is still Green. My comment is a bullish sentiment for RKLB wrapped in a slightly nerdy joke.
Don't matter if it OLED, IPS or CRT. RKLB is still Green.
It's an unintelligible stream of right-wing gibberish fear mongering intended to get people to vote their hate. CRT? That shit's never been in your orbit, and you wouldn't understand it if you walked in on a lecture. Trans policies? That shit doesn't affect you either In my state, North Carolina, an anti-trans women in sports bill will prevent two kids from competing in sports. Meanwhile, half of trans kids consider suicide, and one in ten are *sexually* assaulted. Gun Restrictions? What gun restrictions? Expanded background checks? Are you afraid that a conviction for domestic violence will keep you from buying a murder weapon? I was hoping for some actual thought out response that would help me understand real concerns. Instead I god the word salad that dear leader's addled brain is always spouting.
Besides the soft on crime policies, open border, mass amnesty for illegal immigrants, 3rd trimester abortions, gun restrictions, sanctuary cities, CRT in schools, giving children hormone blockers, transgender surgeries on minors, transgender policies (bathrooms, locker rooms, sports), biden's economic plan, biden's infrastructure bill. While no single bill is going to destroy the country except for perhaps the soft on crime and the soft border, all of these have proven to be terrible and together just compound and exacerbate the problems here. Downvote away ladies.
i've been thinking of looking for a nice CRT monitor and building an old school PC (like, 2004) just for Diablo and other old ass games fuck that remastered bullshit! I played the RE2 remake LOL nah it just dont hit right ima have to setup my Sony Trinitron TV and my Playstation to cleanse that experience from my brain
Tell me why you think CRT is a problem and you'll have your answer. Your current platform is centered around the concerns of the Aryan Brotherhood. Get out.
true. i have all my money on CRT screen. waiting for OLED to die and CRT to make a compeling comeback
If you are in a brightly lit environment then... bright mode??? is actually objectively better. White on black is one of the worst options. I think of the "dark options" best performing is graphite grey. Dark mode is actually best when used on a good old CRT, because it's "deep black" with actual depth and colour/light is projected. Actually best to deal text and figure with is the e-ink display with low refreshrate. Also how good dark or bright mode is for your eyes, depends on the display technology. Its easier for our eyes to see dark features against bright background than reverse. I can't recall this actually but these were presented during a course about UI/UX design (which covered actually just about everything but software - since we weren't software engineers).
You very well may be right. I've never really been able to use it much since my work is pretty heavily restricted by government security limitations. But I've definitely seen it do some pretty impressive stuff, no doubt. I just feels to me like "AI" is currently at a stage where it's really good at grabbing and compiling information, but it doesn't truly have any understanding of what it's presenting. All of the information that current AIs scrape is from stuff that humans had to write in the first place, so its hard for me to see humans disappearing from the equation entirely. I definitely see it replacing clunky databases and information repositories and getting users information quicker, but it seems like replacing the human brain is still very far off imo. I also think in general humans are really bad at predicting how technology is going to change the future. We know it will, just not how. Just look at any sci-fi movie where they know we have computers, but still depict them as mainframes with shitty CRT screens and big ugly buttons. At the same time, I can think of tons of examples of people telling me "In 10-20 years this thing will be totally different!" and it ends up basically still being the same.
Nice find, I still have my old 13" 1999 Sony TV, and a 2005 Sony Wega Trinitron flat CRT for reliving them classic games. Now save yourself, and burn that unlabeled VHS tape. 
Cause all these companies save for maybe BMW are going the way of the CRT television and the cd player. If your following this industry closely you'll see that these companies have prettt much missed the boat on changing to EV manufacturing and are now so far behind the chinese brands and Tesla that their only hope to match them in this segment is to get BYD or others to build most of the car for them. EV sales are booming in China, over 50% of all new cars sold im China so far this year are EVs and China is a huge market for these auto brands and a sign of things to come. Look at the insane debt GM, Toyota etc hold, how do you think these companies are goingto hold up against a future of declining sales YOY? Id stick my neck out right now and say GM and Stellantis will have gone bankrupt by 2035, they will have negative sales growth and collapse under the weight of their debt obligations which assumed growing revenues perpetually
This is pretty normal. It’s like when we jumped from CRT screens to LCD, was larger than going to the next jump. We’re entering a pretty mature stage for the handheld market.
And you will be connected directly to a china man whose skill set is reading English off a 12” CRT monitor with green font. And he’s also got the horrible customer service skills, that once he goes around the circle of 12 unhappy Americans he gets every night,he’ll happily disconnect you or transfer you around or give you phone numbers for folks that are closed. There needs to be a US law, penalizing corporations real money for offshoring customer service and worsening use of robot operators that you end up cursing at. Oh, if only it was only brokerages. And so many people quit all the have to choose from are the bottom of the bucket folks they’ve passed over 12 times! Sickening
Most of the public discourse is around "DEI" though, not CRT...DEI is the new Boogeyman that the GOP are using to divide the white working class and the black working class. They've for the most part moved off of their fearmongering about CRT. Thats not to say that they dont still oppose teaching "CRT"(any black history)...they're just using DEI instead of CRT as their dogwhistle that black people are replacing whites.
> Notice you don't really hear anyone complaining about CRT anymore. There is an anti-CRT plank in the project 2025 program. Many leftists are upset about it.
It's what racist conservatives scream about when they really want to say the n-word, but don't want to be called racists. The same way that "critical race theory" was a few years ago. (Notice you don't really hear anyone complaining about CRT anymore...give it some time and they'll shut up about DEI and move on to a new way to complain about black people).
https://apnews.com/article/un-unrwa-staffers-fired-oct-7-cc33d0ab25dc4bacc0af1db10705e0d6 Also it’s funny how you keep pushing a woke racist lens on the conflict. That’s why the CRT indoctrinated like you are so easily bought into terrorist propaganda. You believe Palis/Arabs are brown therefore the oppressed victims and the Israelites as white Europeans therefore the oppressors. CRT falls apart in the Middle East, Jews are just as “brown” as the Palestinians lol. You can not tell the difference between an average Israeli and a Pali. The one who is obsessed with race is you. Keep the failed CRT and DEI for your college campus struggle sessions, and stop pretending you have any clue about the dynamics at play on this conflict.
WSB now on them Canadian REIT plays.. aight. NWH.UN - Most undervalued, owns hospitals. Variable interest fucked them but interest cost will drop quickly with rate cuts. CRT.UN - Owns the real estate of Canadian Tire, got beat down during Covid and never really recovered. Massive real estate properties in areas right outside cities which are appreciating quickly.
Also the less-than-crispy graphics really sells it. I can see this playing on a CRT
CRT. And I want to get some WEN.
I got some CRT and I'd really LOVE an excuse to buy some WEN.
They got some dry erase markers and an old CRT to write on the glass.
I worked in the early 80s in an office they had CRT computers. Not connected online, limited functions. Maybe 60s and 70s was punch cards.
If you have a *lot* of capital gains, you can put it in a charitable remainder trust, and then sell within the trust. The "charitable" part is that you have to give 10% to a charity of your choice, but the tax savings can well exceed 10%, because the sale pays no cap gains tax. You pay tax when the CRT distributes the other 90% of its assets back to you, but 1) it does so smoothly over years, potentially keeping you in a lower tax bracket, and 2) the deferral of the tax payments gives you more compounding.
Blockchain has as much tech impact as a CRT monitor at this point
No, but I have a CRT with a built in VCR I did that on 20-ish years ago Why do I still have this old ass tv? Best way to play Melee & other retro games
Let's take a look at the report again then. >They changed the way short interest is calculated shortly after Jan '21, it cannot mathematically ever get that high again on any security. Resulting in the drop. Yeah that's just made up, would love to see a source on that. >The chart also shows a minimal amount of short seller buy volume through the run-up, nowhere near enough to close 226% short interest. If you've read this report so many times, you'd probably know that the report doesn't show 226% short interest. The report shows the peak of 122.97%. I'm sure you were listening to what other people read on the 226% rather than looking at it yourself. >Covering a position, and closing a position are not the same thing. You can cover by posting enough collateral to keep the position open. But in order to close the position you must purchase the security and return it to the lender, which we did not see happen as evidenced through the same chart. You've gone years into this without ever googling what it means to cover a short position? Covering absolutely requires you to buy the position back. Maybe if you'd read an investopedia article for yourself rather than trusting what others have said you would know that. >The Apes believe they've moved the short positions and hidden them through ETF's and Swaps which can be seen with the XRT ETF being routinely around 500%, and as high as 1300%. And days after the Apes started sifting through Swaps data and posting it here on Reddit they blocked Swaps reporting for 5 years. Ok, so? That's not a hidden GME short, to close that you don't need to buy shares of GME, you need to buy shares of XRT. Shorting CRT wouldn't have any direct effects on Games stock price. ETF short interest also has to do with the underlying mechanics of redemption shares and market making activing. You should probably read about it. >We know Swaps are what caused Archegos to blow up, they were the reason Credit Suisse blew up, and are the reason UBS is struggling. These swaps had nothing to do with GME. There's a court case going on right now for Bill Hwang and his swap positions have been made public. Also, he was also using those swaps to get leverage to BUY more stock. Archegos blew up because it was overly long and levered up on stocks that went DOWN. You should probably read up on that rather than trusting what other people have told you though.
Last time I used a DELL product, it had a 28.8kb/s dial-up modem, 16MB RAM and a 14" CRT.
What do you think about CRT? CRT is getting some buzz lately. Sure, its systematic trend-spotting sounds good, but we need hard data. How does it perform in different market conditions?
I may invest in CVT's channel. One risk keeping from it is Google's algo, though. You at all worried it might wrongly demonetize a channel you own a CRT in?
I like the oil royalty stocks at this point. You get some income while having exposure to oil. Look at KRP CRT MVO MRT etc.
Built? I’m still running my vintage gateway and compaq PC on CRT monitors
Look at the oil royalty companies like CRT, VOC, etc. The gold royalty companies are hot now with gold going parabolic. WPM, FNV, SAND etc. I also like GNT and BSM now.
Why is this getting so many upvotes? There is zero evidence of this Are you guys seriously falling for the newest conservative "white people are the victims" moment? CRT is suddenly no more (it never was a thing) and DEI is now the big bad that is responsible for anything you don't like?
Anything I don't like!!! Especially DEI and CRT Disney!
I use my 13in Phillips CRT tv, had it since 1999
not going to find it on OLED/IPS... find a classic CRT if you can...
