[bomberqueen17]

been away

just spent about a month at the farm. I dialed my queue on here down to one a day because I knew I'd have so little brainpower for topping that queue up, I'd run right through and then go silent. And I was right, i've had almost no time to do anything useful. Mostly I've been working ten-hour days and then in the evenings being too tired to do more than absently scroll through tumblr or reread stuff I've written and then fail to add any words onto the end of it.

But I'm in Buffalo for a week, and we'll see whether I manage any writing or sewing or what.

oh ha i wandered off from this post yesterday. it's still here though.

so the thing about the farm that's a bummer is that i am busy for ten to twelve hours a day and spend the rest of my time staring blankly because i'm so tired. this is a bummer, and is tiring. but i get a lot done. there are lists of things to do, other people have mostly come up with them OR they're part of a routine so it's easy to know what has to happen when, and when there isn't something from the list, there's so much other stuff that is necessary that has piled up (household things, feeding people, dishes, laundry, endless cycles of such) that there's no difficulty in finding something to keep working on until the next designated task comes along.

the thing about *not* being at the farm that's a bummer is that without all of that external momentum, I have only my feeble wits upon which to rely. I had yesterday off, free of obligations except that we went over to Dude's mom's house to hook up her gas grill and take some ratchet straps off a tree that was damaged in the blizzard, and also I went grocery shopping along with Dude. I only did the latter, though, because I had spent the entire day not doing jack or shit and felt kinda bad about it.

Like, I got a load of laundry done but not put away, and I made a couple of lists of things I wanted to do, but mostly I just fuckin sat around. I'm trying not to do that this whole week though. It's not a vacation, it is me taking care of necessary things here. So I need to actually identify, prioritize, and then do those things, and it's so much.

At the moment I am holding the cat, though, so like, I'm booked solid.

if his argument that he isn't playing about with dogecoin's prices then i don't know how he's gonna explain this shitfuckery he just played using Twitter, which everyone knows he bought and now has final say over the changes on it

like, dude, they already want your guts. you're giving them more rope. gonna guess he's gonna go with some pathetic 'it's just a prank, to see what happens' or like 'see? even something so small will trigger massive price changes' sorta deal

well, i'm no lawyer, but

I hope you fuck yourself thrice over with this 'prank', you supercilious smug-arsed spineless scumbag

“wilson you absolute fucker what have you done with the peace points. wilson you were gonna build a new world - wilson how the fuck do you have airpods in did you seriously get all those reparations just to buy airpods”

“shove that espionage job up your own fucking arse don’t give it to the toothbrush - oh for fucks sake. you’ve ruined a perfectly good workers party is what you’ve done. look at it! it has a dictator!!”

“listen, nicky, i know you want to help your people but please just stay in your fucking room you don’t know shit about running an army. nicky go back inside and take off the fucking general badge”

“MATTHEW FUCKING PERRY I WILL SHOOT YOU IN THE FACE JUST DIE”

“hey nicky it’s me again. look i just think you should be focusing on how much he reeks instead of how he ‘healed’ your son, he smells like a goat that shat itself… you know he actually might be a goat. check his ears”

“mr archduke sir i respect your compassion for your soldiers. you’re an honourable man. tell your chauffeur to go around the block instead of doing a three point turn thanks i love you bye”

probably. But where’s the fun in that?

and, considering the people that the Helsites reflect a bunch of sillies, (/aff) well.

Hels is an “evil clone” who gave a diss track to a Wels that was dropped into a pit—with an Elytra and rockets—and then promptly left.

And Doc had a little animation in a S8 video saying that the quakes were coming from an underground rave, right?

and I’m not too sure about Evil X, but what I’ve heard is that he was another nuisance/silly pre-S8.

All in all, if I do it, it’s gonna go for style and silly, not sense, ‘cause where’s the fun in that?

i'm so chill but you make me jealous jealous deadpool x fem!reader, 18+

Summary: deadpool sees you on a date with another guy and loses his shit lol

Pairing: jealous deadpool x fem!reader

Word Count: 1.4k

Warnings/Tags: jealousy, possessive, angst, brat, noncon, dubcon

You were trying to figure out the fastest way to get out of this dumpster fire of a date. This is what you get for putting yourself out there, by the fervent advice of both your mother and entire social circle. So you went ahead and downloaded a dating app out of sheer boredom but also a tiny glimmer of hope. After quite a number of left swipes and a small handful of rights, you somehow wound up across the dinner table with… er, you forgot his name already. 

But you knew he worked in finance. Or was it accounting? Anyways, he was currently explaining the intricacies of the stock market to you, and the appetizer hasn’t even come out yet. And you realized that you couldn’t care any less. 

“I.. have to go to the bathroom,” you said, standing up quickly and pushing in your chair. Your date almost didn’t seem to notice, giving you a half-hearted acknowledgement and then continuing to drabble on to himself about cryptocurrency. 

Without another word, you darted to the nearest exit of the restaurant, finding yourself on the freshly rained-on sidewalk. You always loved the smell of the concrete after it had just rained. 

Your heels made a satisfying click-clack sound as you briskly maneuvered your way down the street. You opened up your texts to see if you missed anything during the god-awful date, and lo and behold, was a message from none other than Wade.

“Love the dress,” it read. 

You glanced behind you, then side to side, and once you turned back around, there he was, leaning against the side of the cornerstore. 

“What are you doing here?” you asked, barely turning towards him before directing your attention back to your phone and continuing to walk past him. 

“Ohhhh, so it’s ice cold today,” he commented, following right behind you. “I love that flavor.”

“What do you want,” you said while texting a friend about how disastrously the date went. “I am just going home.”

“Well, I was just walking by when I caught a glimpse of you through the window of that Italian restaurant back there,” the assassin replied. “Speaking of which, what was on the menu? I mean that place looked upscale! Like they probably sprinkle gold dust on their pasta instead of parmesan.”

It was an Olive Garden.

“To be blunt, I honestly forgot,” you responded. “I didn’t even eat anything.”

“Well, why did you leave so early?” he pried, this obviously piquing his attention now.

“I-I felt sick,” you lied, your intonation increasing as quickly as your apprehension. “Can we just change the subject, please?”

“Oh ho ho,” Deadpool chuckled, as if he struck gold. “That bad? I mean, I didn’t get a great look at the guy, but from what I saw, he wasn’t terrible-looking. Also, he wore a fleece vest. I mean, that’s just the height of fashion, you really can’t get any better than that.”

“Are you having fun?” you said, rolling your eyes as he continued to mock your absolutely colossal defeat of an evening. 

“Oh, absolutely,” Deadpool laughed. “The other point of contention is why the hell you decided to pull out this absolute banger of a dress for your first date with Mr. Finance Bro there and not ours?”

“That was not a date,” you enunciated, pressing your finger into Wade’s chest. “That was a drunken one night stand that will never happen again and that you even promised to never bring up. It was stupid and nonsensical and I can’t believe it even happened in the first place.”

“Oh come on, Y/N, you’re going to break my heart,” he whined, clasping his hands together like a needy puppy. “I, for one, thought that night was very special. I mean, you even told me that you could see yourself fall-”

Before he could say another word, you grabbed him by the hand and led him into a dark alleyway so that innocent bystanders wouldn’t hear you scream.

“Stop! Bringing that up!” you exclaimed. 

Deadpool was shocked his casual mention of the event elicited such a strong emotion from you. “Okay, okay, jeez.. calm down.”

You sighed, letting him go and turning your back to him. 

But he didn’t let you. Not even for a second. Before you could even react, he grabbed you by the neck and slammed you into the wall. 

You gasped, your hands instinctively reaching up to clasp over his while his grip only tightened over your carotid. 

“Besides, you know that I only followed you here because I wanted to see more of you in this ridiculously skimpy dress..” his voice darkened as he continued to choke you like a helpless animal. “I mean, look at you. That thing practically clings onto you like skin! If you weren’t such a tightass I would have ripped it off of you by now..”

He unsheathed his pocket knife and ran it across your lacy scarlet choker, over the thin straps of your slip dress, and onto your chest. He traced the outline of your cleavage with the dull edge, and then slowly slid it down over your taut stomach. 

You were trying to gulp up air for just one breath, but his hold was unrelenting. 

“I mean a red mini dress, are you fucking kidding me?” he snarled, his blade gently brushing against the garter belt on your right thigh. “Wearing my favorite color? With some other guy? This has got to be orchestrated at this point, Y/N.”

“Wade.. please..” you begged, lips beginning to quiver. Regardless of how much he joked around with you, he scared you when he was angry. 

He finally released you, allowing you to cough and gasp for your first breath. 

“But you know of course I wouldn’t kill you, I mean who do you think I am, a psychopath?” his tone immediately brightened up the moment he saw how much you feared him. “I just like watching you not being able to breathe is all. It’s so cute.”

 After you finally caught your breath, you stared daggers down at the vigilante who stood before you. 

“Listen, Wade,” you said. “I understand you are not exactly pleased with the current state of affairs. But this isn’t entirely up to me. And I’ve told you this a million different times.’

The assassin let out a dramatic, almost cinematic sigh. “Yes, I know, Your mother wants you to date ‘someone sensible with a stable career and not a psycho killer’. Which is perfectly understandable! I get it. I mean, I would probably think the same thing if I lived in the suburbs and made tuna casserole in my spare time.”

“Wade..” you shook your head and rolled your eyes. “You know it’s not that simple.” You walked up to him and gently lifted up his mask to reveal only his lips. 

He didn’t hesitate to grab you by the waist and pull you so close that your body was pressed up against his. 

You stood up on your tiptoes in your heels, stabilizing yourself by holding onto his broad shoulders. You weren’t exactly sure what you were doing, but you knew something within you just wanted to kiss him. But you also didn’t know if this was the right idea. 

The plump part of your lip gently brushed against his. The smell of your watermelon lip gloss was driving him crazy. He started to breathe heavily, and if another second passed where you weren’t kissing him he would say fuck it and just do it himself. 

You felt his hot breath in your mouth, and you felt your arms twist around him like they knew exactly where to rest themselves. Like they have done this before. 

“I’m so stupid for this,” you sighed, as you felt his lips beginning to close over yours. 

He smiled smugly into the kiss, quite pleased with himself over the hard fought victory. Without another moment of hesitation, he grabbed the back of your thighs and lifted you up without much effort at all. He walked over to the wall, pressing your back softly against it. 

You wrapped your legs around his waist automatically, kissing him like you would die if you stopped. You felt his tongue wrap desperately around yours. He was aggressive, hungry even. He wanted you all to himself, not some fucker in a fleece vest or anyone else for that matter. 

You knew you would regret your decision in the morning. And that no matter how hard you tried to deny it, you would come running back to him. Every single time.

Markets Jitters as US Stock Future Dip, Eyes Fixed on Fed Rate Path 2023

Introduction

– Brief overview of the current market situation

The recent behavior of the United States stock market, particularly the US stock future, had garnered attention captivating market observers’ interest with its impressive performance. US stock futures continue to decline, with a mixture of positive signs of recuperation and worries concerning inflation, interest rates, and sustained economic obstacles.

Major indices, such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, had taken a skyrocketing leap, soaring to new heights of record-breaking proportions, inciting enthusiasm among the market players. Nevertheless, beneath the surface of this thriving market situation lurked underlying concerns and apprehensions about the state of affairs. The inflation bogeyman was ever-present, a shadow that loomed overhead, along with the possibility of a monetary stimulus program tapering that could result in higher interest rates and hindered economic growth, inducing a sense of anxiousness and trepidation.

The US economy was experiencing a somewhat tumultuous recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, plagued by an uneven pace of progression. The positive aspects of certain sectors like technology and e-commerce that displayed exceptional success stood in stark contrast with the struggling state of other sectors like travel and hospitality.

Despite the improving labor market, the US stock future is still facing uncertainties due to concerns about inflation and monetary stimulus tapering that could lead to higher interest rates. The issue of labor shortages and wage inflation remained a matter of concern that impacted the economy’s progress.

The United States was in a new era of politics, with a fresh administration under the guidance of President Joe Biden who had proposed extensive economic policies like a large infrastructure spending plan aimed at bolstering growth and addressing economic inequality. However, the realization of such measures’ fate was still under question as they required approval from a closely divided Congress.

In conclusion, the market situation of the United States, including the US stock future, displays a mixture of positive signs of recuperation alongside worries concerning inflation, interest rates, and sustained economic obstacles. It is crucial to mention that the information provided may no longer be indicative of the present market scenario as of February 20th, 2023.

– Importance of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decisions

The multi-faceted and intricate landscape of the United States economy and financial markets is perpetually impacted by the Federal Reserve’s pivotal interest rate decisions. The Federal Reserve’s exacting task of determining whether to enhance, decrease, or maintain its benchmark interest rate is subject to generate substantial repercussions on borrowing costs, inflation, and economic growth.

The intricacy of the matter is not to be underestimated, and the outcomes of the decisions are fickle, as is characteristic of the markets. A decrease in interest rates has the potential to activate economic activity by fostering borrowing, yet it also carries the risk of inflation, which might spin out of control. In contrast, a hike in interest rates has the potential to put a brake on inflation, yet it might also cramp the economic growth.

– Thesis statement

Background

– Explanation of how interest rates affect the stock market

A low interest rate environment, for example, has the propensity to reduce borrowing costs, and this in turn may stimulate consumer and business expenditure. Moreover, such a phenomenon might catalyze investment in US stock futures, thus contributing to an amplified demand for the same. This upward shift in demand for US stock futures might ultimately result in prices skyrocketing, thereby giving rise to higher valuations for corporations.

In contrast, when interest rates surge, borrowing expenses are likely to increase too. This can have an inhibitory influence on investing and purchasing in the US stock futures market. The competition for investment funds might become more intense in such circumstances, as fixed-income securities such as bonds may become more attractive than US stock futures.

This shift of investment capital from US stock futures to bonds can ultimately cause the stock market to witness a drop in its prices. It is worth noting that interest rates exert a significant impact on investor sentiment and market behavior, thereby rendering them an important variable for investors to monitor with due diligence.

– Historical context of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decisions

The source of the Federal Reserve’s decisions on interest rates in the US is attributable to 1913, when the national bank was initially founded. The Federal Reserve has been exercising its authority to adjust interest rates with the intention of regulating the nation’s economy, containing inflation, and fostering long-term development for many years.

The movement of interest rates can be easily observed, with low rates being beneficial for the economy and US stock futures, and high rates used as a deterrent for rising prices. In the last few decades, the Federal Reserve has generally pursued a policy of targeting low inflation, while ensuring moderate economic growth via carefully calibrated adjustments to interest rates. In addition, the Federal Reserve’s decisions about interest rates have been shaped by significant economic occurrences like the Great Depression, the 2008 economic meltdown, and the current COVID-19 situation. These episodes have emphasized the necessity for a supple and versatile approach to monetary policy that takes into account the ever-changing economic landscape.

– Recent changes to interest rates and their impact on the market

The Federal Reserve had, as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, sustained its benchmark interest rate in close proximity to zero for several months. This came in response to the deleterious economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has been a paramount concern for the Fed.

Even though the economic situation was still improving gradually, indications of the Federal Reserve’s possible readiness to reduce its financial stimulus and increase interest rates could still be seen. The prospects of rising interest rates have caused an upsurge in market volatility for US stock futures, alongside grave apprehensions as to their potential ramifications on various assets, including stocks and bonds.

Even though high interest rates may cause costly loan repayments and consequently impede economic expansion, they can also be employed to suppress inflation and ensure market steadiness for US stock futures. The impact of recent modifications to interest rates on the US stock futures market’s performance has remained a subject of uncertainty, and one that is inextricably entangled with a spectrum of economic and political factors.

In this context, it is imperative for investors to scrutinize the Federal Reserve’s actions and guidance, in order to navigate this US stock futures market terrain with sagacity. It is essential to be aware that the above details might not accurately reflect the present market conditions as of February 20th, 2023.

Current market situation

– Overview of recent stock market performance

As of the September 2021 cutoff of my knowledge, the US stock market had been thriving, with major indices like the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq scaling record highs in recent times, including strong performance in US stock futures.

This bull market was the result of several factors converging to foster this favorable market condition, including healthy corporate earnings, accommodating monetary policy, and an upbeat outlook regarding the post-COVID-19 economic recovery.

Despite this, fears remain about increasing prices, labor deficiencies, and the likelihood of the Federal Reserve to reduce its monetary assistance, a situation that could bring about higher interest rates and impede economic growth.

– Explanation of why stock futures are dipping

Stock futures in the US are dipping due to rising inflation expectations, affecting US stock futures. Futures are financial contracts obligating the buyer to purchase an asset or the seller to sell an asset at a predetermined future date and price, and US stock index futures have pointed to a slightly lower opening on Wall Street on Tuesday, with futures for the S&P 500 down 0.27 percent.

This follows a rally in stocks on Wednesday as they stabilized after last week’s decline.

– Analysis of market jitters and investor sentiment

Investor sentiment is the overall attitude or tone of investors towards a particular security or larger financial market.

Studies have employed the ESM (Early-Warning System Model) to analyze investor sentiment and stock market reactions to COVID-19, as well as to evaluate the relationship between positive and negative investor sentiments and stock market returns and volatility in Group of 20 countries.

Investor sentiment, broadly defined, is a belief about future cash flows and investment risks that is not justified by the facts at hand. Additionally, studies have analyzed herding behavior in the Korean stock market to confirm its existence.

Federal Reserve’s rate path

– Overview of the Federal Reserve’s current interest rate policy

The multifarious and intricate monetary policy of the Federal Reserve is presently preoccupied with the pursuit of two equally pivotal mandates: the attainment of stable prices and the achievement of maximum employment in the economy. The attainment of immense goals by the Federal Reserve has been executed through a complex and multifaceted approach that involves the establishment of a target range for the federal funds rate.

This rate denotes the interest at which banks lend money to each other for just a single night. The Federal Reserve has been putting in a lot of effort and being extremely careful in their quest of perfection to accomplish these aims. Their strategy is a convincing illustration of their unshakable devotion to achieving their goals.

This target rate has been conspicuously low since December 2015, hovering between 0.00 and 0.25%, a phenomenon that has engendered a reduction in borrowing costs for both businesses and consumers, thereby kindling economic growth. The Federal Reserve is currently actively purchasing longer-term Treasury and mortgage-backed assets in addition to maintaining low interest rates.

This intricate and elaborate approach has been taken with the intention of fostering a further reduction in borrowing costs, stimulating liquidity in financial markets, and engendering low inflation. A policy approach that promotes full employment is something the Federal Reserve is diligently striving toward since it is essential for the economy to have strong and long-lasting growth.

Its multidimensional approach is intended to guarantee that every nook and cranny of the economy is catered to with the greatest accuracy, leaving no element of the financial landscape unattended for. Their efforts are undoubtedly intricate, yet they are working with an unyielding determination and a steadfast focus on their objectives.

– Explanation of how the Fed determines interest rates

The Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee (FOMC) which gathers twice a year and adjusts the target federal reserve rate to accommodate the conditions of the economy. This rate is the interest rate at which commercial banks lend and borrow extra reserves during the night and it is governed by the FOMC, who is also in control of deciding the degree of control each entity holds. Many other interest rates are reliant on the Federal Funds Rate, which usually stays close to the median of the Fed’s preferred range.

– Potential changes to the Federal Reserve’s rate path and their impact on the market

Market reactions

– Analysis of how the market may react to changes in interest rates

The ebbs and flows of interest rates hold immense sway over the market, impinging on the cost of borrowing and the allure of various investments, including US stock futures. Typically, a rise in interest rates has a dampening effect on US stock futures prices, since investors pivot their funds towards fixed-income investments like bonds.

Conversely, a decrease in interest rates triggers an uptick in US stock futures prices, as investors yearn for higher returns that fixed-income investments fail to furnish. Nevertheless, the effect of interest rate variations on the US stock futures market is not always straightforward and can hinge on diverse factors such as economic conditions, inflation, and financial situations.

Furthermore, the market’s response to fluctuations in interest rates is subject to the influence of the Federal Reserve’s statements and policy decisions, and these shape the expectations of future US stock future interest rate changes. Consequently, the market’s response to changes in interest rates is challenging to prognosticate and remains a topic of constant debate and scrutiny among investors and analysts alike.

– Comparison of different sectors and how they may be impacted

Many economic sectors are affected by interest rate increases in different ways, including US stock futures. This variability is predicated on their business models and financing needs. For instance, higher interest rates can result in mounting borrowing costs for companies in sectors such as real estate and construction, which depend heavily on debt financing, affecting their US stock future.

The effect of this can cause a dip in profitability and trigger lower stock prices for these companies. By contrast, sectors with low levels of debt, like technology and healthcare, and high levels of cash flow, may not be as susceptible to interest rate fluctuations.

Interestingly, changes in interest rates can also wield influence over consumer behavior, thereby impinging on distinct sectors of the economy, including the US stock future. To illustrate, elevated interest rates can stifle consumer spending on pricey items like automobiles and housing, leading to a downturn in the real estate and automotive sectors. Consequently, apprehending how different sectors may be affected by changes in interest rates is a critical consideration for investors and analysts alike when assessing market trends and making investment decisions.

– Possible short-term and long-term effects on the economy

Interest rates are a key factor that can influence the economy in both the short and long term. In the short term, changes in interest rates can impact the borrowing costs of consumers and businesses, which can then affect their spending habits and inflation rates.

When interest rates go up, consumers and businesses may become more cautious with their spending, leading to slower economic growth and a potential uptick in unemployment. Conversely, when interest rates decrease, borrowing becomes cheaper and consumers and businesses may feel more comfortable spending, which can lead to economic growth and potentially higher employment rates.

In the long term, changes in interest rates can have an impact on broader economic factors, such as inflation rates and the strength of the US dollar. Higher inflation can decrease the value of money over time and reduce purchasing power. A weaker dollar can also make imported goods more expensive, potentially leading to inflation, while making exports more competitive.

Furthermore, changes in interest rates can also impact investor sentiment and financial markets, potentially leading to increased volatility or higher US stock future prices. This makes it important for policymakers, investors, and analysts to carefully consider the short-term and long-term implications of interest rate changes when assessing the state of the economy and making investment decisions.

Investor strategies

– Discussion of potential strategies for investors in response to market jitters and interest rate changes

When the market experiences fluctuations and interest rates change, investors have various options to consider depending on their investment objectives, tolerance for risk, and time frame. One potential tactic is to spread their investments across different asset categories like US stock futures, stocks, bonds, and cash to mitigate risk and gain diverse sources of returns.

Another strategy is to actively manage their investments in response to changes in the market, like by modifying the allocation of their investments based on their outlook for interest rates and the US stock future. For example, when the US stock future is experiencing turbulence, investors may opt to up their stake in defensive stocks, such as utilities and staple products.

Alternatively, during times when rates of interest are climbing, they may switch to investments with higher yields of fixed income. Additionally, investors may also look into hedging strategies like options and futures contracts to safeguard their portfolios against potential losses or benefit from market movements. For example, in times when the stock market is volatile, investors may choose to invest more in defensive stocks like utilities and consumer staples. During times when interest rates are climbing, they may opt for investments with higher yields, such as fixed-income assets.

Value Investing: This strategy involves identifying undervalued stocks and investing in them with a long-term perspective. During market downturns, many fundamentally strong companies may see their stock prices decline due to overall market volatility. By investing in these companies at a discount, value investors can potentially generate significant returns over the long term.

Focusing on less volatile and more stable investments, such as utility stocks, consumer staples, and real estate investment trusts, is known as defensive investing (REITs). These investments may hold up better during market downturns and provide a steady source of income for investors.

Contrarian Investing: This strategy involves investing against the consensus view of the market. When the market is experiencing extreme optimism or pessimism, contrarian investors may take a position opposite to the prevailing sentiment. This can potentially lead to higher returns if the market eventually reverses its direction.

Dynamic Asset Allocation: This strategy involves actively managing the allocation of investments based on changing market conditions. The investor, for instance, may begin to shift the allocation of his or her investment portfolio from fixed income investment to investments that are less sensitive to interest rate movements, during periods in which interest rates are rising.
