I mean, maybe I’m just being dumb and not really seeing something, but “20K in debt from buying equipment to stream” does not exactly scream “Future of streaming” so much as “Some rich assholes might get a new hobby in a few years.”

Sorry, kinda forgot about you until a different notification reminded me. Kinja conversations just don’t really rank high on the list of priorities at the best of times, and buddy, you’re a long way from that. At least you’re not awful enough to be memorable, point in your favor.

Friend, I’m not the therapist you desperately need. Stop saying things to me when you’re clearly just talking about yourself. Introspection is valuable, just stop involving me in yours, it’s weird.

Honestly, I just like having the choice of how to engage with the content. Sometimes, I want to play the online mode with other people, sometimes I’m just out to have some solo fun in the same game. If the one game gives me both options, the more likely it is I’ll choose to play that over something with enforced… Read more

Pidgeon spikes, they’re little wire or plastic spikes that stop pidgeons and other small birds landing there and shitting all over everything.

The funniest thing is, this is always how the excuses run when it comes to reddit.

A small percentage of individuals do good things? Clearly, we all share some credit for that, it means the group is good, they’re doing good things, they’re on the side of right, we are good people!

A larger percentage of people in the… Read more

I was going to ignore this because honestly you’re entitled to your dumb fantasies and it’s a waste of calories to try and take that away from you, but there’s one part I needed to correct you on, because even I feel bad watching you make a fool of yourself.

Well, that went in an entirely predictable direction. If I say yes, you say I’m biased because I’m invested, and disregard. If I say no, you say I’m clearly not really there, and disregard. Read more

I can’t blame them too much. They’re not financial reporters, not used to the ins and outs of this kind of story, and they got on it well after the prevailing narrative on social media had become “Brave working class heroes take down evil hedge funds” instead of “/b/ with a bloomberg terminal accidentally lucks into… Read more

Zero. I took no position on GME - or any other meme stock - short or long. Nor do I work for anyone who does, have close personal relationship with anyone who did, or any other tenuous connection you want to try and accuse me of next. And, to round out the obvious conspiracy-minded accusations, I also don’t work for… Read more

I’m sorry to be the bearer of this shocking news, friend. We have a support group, we meet on thursdays, and there’s free coffee and doughnuts.

You really wern’t around at at the start. The goal wasn’t to punish hedge funds, the goal was to punish ONE SPECIFIC GUY because he’d previously laughed at WSB, and said they were largely irrelevant bit players(which was, and mostly still is, true.) It wasn’t about hedge funds at all, that’s just a pretty dressing on… Read more

Except the ones who re-upped, or jumped on, and shorted at peak - which includes the original hedge fund they were trying to go after - and are currently making far more money now as the arse falls out of the stock now that the internet’s attention span is coming to an end, and people move on, than they ever would… Read more

Except, for one, while it’s not 100% proven it seems most of the action on GME was not retail traders, but Hedge funds and High volume traders taking advantage, and for two, many hedge funds have made out like absolute bandits on this, because they simply shorted at peak, knowing that the internet has a pretty limited… Read more

That’s unfair, and completely untrue. Read more

I think it may have something to do with the constantly precarious state of production at Tesla... Read more

That is the kind of line I might have expected about of my highschool girlfriend after a discussion about sports.

“Anish Kapoor owns the exclusive rights to Surrey NanoSystems’ Vantablack paint, which is made from carbon nanotubes that are capable of trapping and absorbing 99.965% of visible light. ... Kapoor’s ownership means no one else can use VantaBlack, but thankfully”

This isn’t really true, I’m afraid. Kapoor has an… Read more

Is it weird that I think that sounds kinda cool?

To add to your comment:

- The UK government and Surry Nanosystems demanded that exclusivity contract, not Kapoor, because the coating to that point had only been used in Military and research applications.
