The myriad of idiosyncratic atrocities bestowed on this chat from these juvenile delinquents have caused a monstruous amount of turmoil and I cannot fathom this type of malignancy. These futile behaviors have abruptly penetrated the purity of my dear soul.

Hello Chat! I like attention
twitchquotes:Hello Chat! My name is Attention Whore. I only speak in large paragraphs or spam in short messages all in caps. I will consistently spam profanity almost in an attempt to find the boundaries of what is a bannable offense. Please yell at me and give me all your attention.

I am going to short the whole country of South Africa
I assure you, this ISN'T going to get political. Because by all accounts South Africa is screwed. My planned position is bottom paragraph.
Under the current ANC government there has been a general degeneration of all aspects of South Africa. Due to systemic nepotism, there are math teachers that don't know what square roots are, army officers that can't read, and cops that have never fired a gun. The practice of fictitious employees that take checks but don't work there is widespread enough that the government has drove itself into insolvency already. Estimates are that some 80% of government funds are misused in some way, ranging from government subsidies given to businesses owned by government officials to simply going missing from accounts. The ANC solved this, against advise of wiser people, with quantitative easing. Which is a fancy term for printing money, and since they could never possibly reverse that printer they're inflating the South African Rand which is why they've had two bouts of inflation near 9% twice in the past 20 years.
That is all besides how the largely defunct government doesn't prevent anything on the ground. Roaming bands of pirates (many affiliates of the Marxist Economic Freedom Fighter party) will poison guard dogs and torture and murder residents often for as little as car keys and groceries. Many communities are functionally independent and take the law in their own hands, and in many areas utilities are defunct (untreated sewage goes in the river, untreated tap water comes out and it smells as disgusting as it sounds). South Africans are more likely to have their asylum applications accepted than any other nation as there are so many tales of rape and murder and threats of ethnic cleansing. This equates to the most educated citizens leaving SA and most SA based businesses diversifying out of the country as literacy rates have been falling. These disillusioned departures are not new, as they include the most famous Afrikaner in history Elon Musk who is now a naturalized American.
Edit: The Economic Freedom Fighter's usual acronym isn't used because it's also the ticker for a penny stock.
I first thought about shorting South Africa over a year ago when I was researching the country (I'm a historian, I read much on the country for fun). I found the only index tracking SA (EZA) wasn't an accurate representation of SA economy and buying puts on it was useless. It tracked only the largest cap firms, which are the aforementioned companies diversifying out of SA (mostly to other parts of Africa). Which is why it's a volatile ETF that overall trades sideways. Buying puts on it wouldn't really capitalize on SA going full Rhodesia/Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe having experienced the general breakup of modern institutions and hyperinflation due to similar problems.
My new broker, IBKR, allows negative currency positions as long you post 10% as collateral. Now my native currency are US dollars, where inflation in 2020 was 1.4% while the South African Rand's inflation was 4.12% in 2020. That equals a 26.8% return on investment per year from that simple short position. But I'm expecting US Dollar inflation to stay between 1-2% a year while the Rand (ticker ZAR) stays north of 4% with inflation spikes inevitable over the next decade. This position also reduces my market beta, much needed for me as I've got hugely leveraged positions on American ETFs. This isn't a short term swing trade, I'm waiting for SA to implode.

You will never be an anime girl
You will never be an anime girl. You have no ancestry, you have no weebship, you have no skills that would make neon Tokyo ever want you. You are a shut-in self-hating nerdy man twisted by delusions of mythical Katana superiority and exposure to media folded over 3000 times into a disgusting mockery of metalworkings perfection. All 'validation' you get from other people in this position couldn't be worse in making you believe that spending years of your life learning a the globally useless talents of Uwudo and Iya-giri to a ไธญไบ level was a worthwhile ไฝฟใๆน of ใๅ's time, but one can't expect that an individual as ็พ่ป as ใใก will ever know the value of the ไปฒ้ you threw away in doing that. Actual Sasukes are ใใใ ใญใขใ by you. Thousands of years of ่ช็ถ้ฒๅ have allowed ไพ to identify ๅฝ็ฉ่ช from mannerisms and ่จ่ชๅ alone. Even if your written text of self-hatred and attention begging akin to a ้่ฏ็ฌ somehow passes as normal (ใใชใใใใฉ้ฟๅ), any Soul Eater person will immediately ไธกๆญใall ่ฟทใใwhen they ่ใ the ๅฃฐ and ๅบๅณถ-ben of someone who is not only a basic ไธๅฟ at best, but worth no more than ใดใใซใน in skills, accomplishments, and no ใฏใคใ yes ใใฌใณใ. You will never be ๅนธใใใกใใๆฉ่ฝใ You wrench out a ๅฝ็ฌใ and ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ่ to yourself believing that watching a content creator that you understand 20% of at best is somehow superior than watching your own ่น้ท, as you project your disgusting traits onto your ๅงๅก้ท. However, deep inside you feel the ไธๅฎ creeping up like a ๆก, ready to crush you under the ใในใ2ไธไธใZzใใฌใณใใ , and you know that. You know that all you do now is have an entirely new ใชในใใผ in which to be ็ก่ฆ, and not even the exotic trait of beingใๆตทๅคใใใญ makes up for just how uninteresting of a ็ก่จ่ตคในใ you are. Eventually itโll be too much to bear - youโll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold ใฏใใกใใพ.
