still a weird thing to think about for me that everything with gamestop happened, right along with covid, the BLM protests, AND the Bernie campaign to boot. I realize I’m conflating 4 politically dissimilar events, but 2020 was seriously the year of “rich and powerful institutions lose their stranglehold on current…

Also, the last thing I read about MassMutual’s fine said it was a failure to supervise a bunch of their staff, not just Gill. The initial reports were worded to make it sound like he was the reason for the fine. He was just the most notable member of the group.

The sick part of it is that WSB users went in and played the game that was already being played. The SEC’s problem here isn’t the game, only that retail played it.

The stock market exists to be gamed, it’s gamified by design. But sure, let’s talk about shitposters on Reddit and their unreasonable attempt to force a seat at the table like that’s the issue here.

Well, he certainly got his wish. SEC Chair Gary Gensler recently announced that the agency is very close to publishing its post-mortem on the “gamifying” of the stock market, though apparently not before it talks to a few more key players like Burry.

Meme humor is a copout, and people have done more humorous and fun content in MS Paint for years. I for one applaud dataminers for showing us the lack of creativity early.

“I guess mayhaps I just missed the part where humanity has ever shown the capacity to come together for more than immediate, temporary gain before all the disparate groups involved turn on each other to “get a step ahead” of the other guy.”

“In practical terms, coexistence between different groups does require sacrifice, but it’s never a life-or-death consideration. Nobody has to take medication in order to stop being prejudiced against people who are different from them.”

“Anna Taylor-Joy”

All of us wondered what the Sonic movie could possibly be about and we got a pretty decent film so I’m on board for this. Or Detective Pikachu for that matter.

Hollywood literally has a stout, high-energy Italian actor amongst its ranks in the form of Danny DeVito and that voice would’ve been perfect. I mean listen to him as Philoctetes. OR why not just cast Charles Martinet as the brothers since it’s animated anyway? Everyone knows Mario’s “It’s-a me, Mario!” or “Mario,…

No cartoon, animated movie, or video game has EVER been made better by casting a big name marquee actor over a seasoned VA.

Never.

asking me to hang in there for a 100-minute movie with traditional Mario voices would be a hard pass for me.

Worst. Chris.

How do you not get a professional voice actor to play the character in the movie...he knows how to do voices and has done Mario.

Yeah, I’m not thrilled. Assuming this came from his decent performance as Emmet in The LEGO Movie. Looking forward to Charlie Day, Jack Black, and a few of the others as well, though!
