Remember kids, profit off a downed pilot and you’re a monster

Make a profit off 175 dead Iranian Schoolchildren and you’re on the DOW

the dow is over 50,000



No bets should be placed on any of the events of the war given we can’t trust either side to present any factual information.


i might have to check out this polymarket thing.

It sounds great, if you have insider information.

tbh the real money is on knowing how to arbitrage a spread

I admit I’ve been a bit curious since I’ve been hearing about it so goddamn much recently it seems.

Can I use this with a desktop/browser or is it phone/app only?


Is that one of Polymarket’s categories of bets? The “no insider trading here” category?






Gambling on the fate of a member of a fascist military seems pretty morally neutral.


And meanwhile, gambling on the Iran wars and child murders that is aaaalll fine, those are brown people
