Tripcodes are a way to identify yourself between posts without having to register with the site. To use a tripcode, enter your name as ‹name›#‹key›.You can choose anything you want as the key—it is private and will never be shown to other posters or stored on the server. For example:

Rarity#bestpony → Rarity!.4PK7yxdII

If you want a tripcode containing specific words, you can download a program designed to search for tripcodes, such as Tripcode Explorer.

Email?

Entering an e-mail is optional.

There are also code words you can enter here which perform certain actions when you submit your post.

  • sage — lets you post without bumping a thread.
  • nonoko — uses the original post behavior to redirect to the board index.

These can be used at the same time as an e-mail address by typing ‹email›#‹action›.

You can also use Skype names in place of an e-mail. The notation is the same as a link to a username on skype itself, which is skype:‹username›

Personally, I am unconcerned by the dip. There are more important things than markets and GDP.

Enjoy those 10% tariffs! same as you have on us, btw.

I mean what's a little tariff between friends? Could be worse, like Vietnam with the 90+ percent. Never trust a commie..

>>13548 Some of the responses make no sense to me.
>Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said during a news conference: “For Australia these tariffs are not unexpected but let me be clear — they are totally unwarranted. Trump referred to reciprocal tariffs. A reciprocal tariff would be zero not 10%. The admin’s tariffs have no basis in logic and they go against the basis of our two nations’ partnership.”
Reciprocal with 10% is 0% apparently. What are these people smoking?

The fear-mongering headlines on CNN are hilarious.

>Trump’s tariff expected to cost $5,000 per American household per year, economist says

Then the article goes on to explain it's expected to correspond to a whopping 6% increase. So practically nothing.

>Trump’s tariffs target some of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable countries

So we need to keep extracting our country's wealth for their benefit...

>Trump’s tariffs will hurt Americans who love Australian beef, economist says

seriously???

>South Korea faces dual crisis: Political uncertainty and US tariffs, analyst says

Whose fault is that?

>Europe prepares countermeasures to Trump’s tariffs, calling them a "major blow to the world economy"

freeloaders complaining they aren't getting free gimmies any more.

>New Zealand prime minister says trade war is not good for global economics

but having a one-sided 20% tariff on the USA is good...

In order for the tariffs to be "reciprocal", they'd have to actually reflect tariffs the other country has in place rather than be from a ChatGPT-generated table which (nonsensically) calculates based on deficit divided by imports. The employed American citizen and taxpayer in me is furious that my 401k is dumping for stupid reasons. Luckily, I'm also a communist, so Amerikkka self-destructing is its own silver lining.

also lol @ israel canceling all their tariffs on us and getting hit with a 17% tariff. comrade chatgpt for the fucking win

>>13553 I'm not losing any sleep from the S&P being 12% off it's all time high, in what is already a colossal manipulated bubble that needs to burst anyway.

>>13557 America self-destructing wouldn't be the worst thing. I don't think it will result in the Communist Utopia though since communism doesn't work in any post-agrarian society. Ain't nobody moving into communes and sharing the labor on behalf of fat-cat commissars. People are just far too lazy to give according to their ability, when they receive according to their fabricated needs regardless of how hard they work.

1) Unless you are cashing out your 401k this afternoon, the dip is irrelevant.
2) Wealth is relative, so if everyone is proportionally less wealthy, your relative position in the wealth hierarchy is retained.
3) 401k's are a scam anyway. Hedging your entire retirement on "line go up" which itself relies on market manipulation and corporate corruption is frankly insane.

Being a net consumer of cheap goods while being unable to produce anything of our own isn't doing us any favors. For that reason, using tariffs to address trade deficits isn't unreasonable. Maybe it's not the best way to go about it in an ideal scenario, but it's better than doing nothing.

>>13576 That's pretty hilarious.

Most of this is just market uncertainty, largely due to the fear mongering of the media at that.
Most the tariffs aren't in effect yet, and it's certainly too soon to actually see tangible effect.

Even if it wasn't, though, i really don't care about a minor drop in the stocks pricing. You guys gotta pay your fair share. No more freeloaders.
