Unfortunately, doing this to “fuck over hedge funds” is still illegal.  His maneuvers were expressly designed to force the hedge funds to purchase more stock to shore up their short positions.  A pump and dump is one kind of manipulation.  This move is another.

The main redditor, DeepFuckingValue probably does have a big target on his back. He orchestrated this with the intent of squeezing the funds that had shorts. He saw that they were holding short positions worth 140% of Gamestop stock. He convinced people to invest in Gamestop to squeeze those positions knowing it would…

This sucks, it is only for the US market. The biggest problem with streaming right now is the tangled mess of distribution rights preventing countries other than the US from accessing US based streaming products legally. Fucking sucks.  Canada has HBO Max for example through the Crave service.  But that rights deal…

I always crack in a pinch of salt into every pot of coffee.  As well as a pinch of cardamom and cinnamon.  Just the bare minimum so its only a hint in the coffee.  

It’s kinda hard to control the narrative when your opposition relies on lying as loud as possible and countering the lies only amplifies them but not countering allows them to lie more.

Obviously red meat/deli meat (henceforth ‘meat’) are not ever going to be linked directly one being you will get the other. The studies are conclusive though, daily ingestion of meat increases the risk of colorectal cancer some 25-30% depending on the study. This is independent of other risk factors. The studies…

Not baseless at all. The WHO and scientists all over the world, through peer reviewed studies have determined a direct link between red meat and in particular process meats like deli meat to Colorectal cancer. Not saying you have to abide by their recommendations, but the OP is right and supported by strong empirical…

I lived this myself a number of years ago. I had the cash on hand to purchase a new vehicle outright (at the time it was around $37K). It was 2012 the economy was okay, I’d had a steady good paying job for 5 years and I was living in my girlfriends condo paying half the rent. Nothing to worry about so I was ready to…

Some fucking real investigatory journalists need to be looking into this and any ties this asshole has with the mayors office and the developers looking to develop in this neighborhood. I was skeptical when Taylor’s family lawyer said this was part of a scheme to force residents out of the area to allow developers to…

There is a reason that no other nation, not just modern nation, no other nation except Liberia uses grand juries.

A timeline of Herman Cain’s COVID infection:

My go to pizza has been double pineapple with green olives.  The sweet and salty combo just hits all the right spots.  Most people turn their noses up when I suggest it but next thing I know half of its gone and people are ordering it themselves.

This situation highlights the main issue with the US justice system (outside systemic racism). Its political and incentivizes WINNING over justice. Everyone from Sheriffs, through District Attorney’s and the AG are all elected officials. The idea is that by being responsible to the public they have to be fair and not…

I may be wrong here but I am under the impression that the tattoos are not just part of the Wrestlers model but also part of the customization art that player can use to make new wrestlers. If that is the case then it does raise some novel issues regarding copyright and fair use. If a corporate logo was used in…

This poll watching shit is scary. This will be the first election where ARMED, yes ARMED poll watchers are considered legal again. Way back in the 80's armed poll watchers intimidated Black and Hispanic voters New Jersey. Help sway the election there. Courts determined they were unconstitutional and banned them.…

Except if the companies are from Israel, then its anti-Semitism. :|

This story has been flying through the right-wing media. It was picked up by Breitbart and spun fairly early on as democrats dis-enfranchising military members. Then some other alt-right bloggers started posting that children of penn state democrats had been arrested by the FBI for tampering and discarding these…

Republican Senators*

Except most republicans aren’t actually prolife, just like the majority of Americans aren’t prolife either. Abortion abolition was only raised as a strategy AFTER republicans decided that race was an untenable position for them. Abortion abolition is only a means to more power.

Take all my stars. 100 million people don’t vote in the US. Poll after poll shows that the majority of Americans support abortion, stricter gun laws, gay and trans rights, universal healthcare, tackling climate change and more. The US is a progressive country. You guys just don’t fucking vote. VOTE!!!
