Corporations are Anti-Human. We need to be able to break up these corporations that abuse human rights and destroy the lives of their employees. We need to end legal bribery where corporations can give large payoffs to politicians. Fuck corporate America. Unionize. 

Guys...I don’t want to cause a panic here, but I’m *starting* to think gaming has a male toxicity problem...

Louder for the moms in the back: who is really benefiting from us being numbed and drunk? It ain’t us.

This whole thing is a rhetorical bait and switch: the authors (accurately) describe “wine mom” jokes as as a way to “self‐deprecatingly” bond “over the stressors of parenting,” and a means of “ coping and escapism.” Then they call it “a false resistance.” Coping and escapism are not even pretending to be resistance,…

“Newman and Nelson suggest that we could look away from the “wine mom” toward healthier coping scripts—say, the “yoga/mindful mom.”

“They argue that this “constitutes a false resistance, masking conformity to society’s unattainable standards of mothering and unequal systems that oppress women and inhibit well‐being.” All that irreverent endurance traps moms in a punishing paradigm: they rebel just enough to get through the day without ever…

But, in this fictional realm, “bad mom” revelry is specifically cast as liberation for white moms.

The biggest #IMomSoHard fans I know are the ones who joke about wine mom shit and pretend that they feel constrained, and are the biggest enforcers of unrealistic maternal expectation. They use this schtick to pretend that they are just as oppressed by it, when they themselves are the happy oppressors. 

I see a lot of articles love ending with the take away that those that got in early will make a lot and those that got in late might not....but isn’t that how every stock market, investment or betting mechanic everywhere works. I do like the use of bullet points though.

Love the concern trolls out worried about the poors losing their money. I’m sure the same people really passionately oppose the lottery and advocate abolishing casinos and it isn’t just dripping condescension for investing in the ‘wrong’ way. 

This. The article seems to rally against the redditors and investors that (legally) squeezed the naked short that was created (illegally) by a hedge fund. I’m not sure I’d hold up the former as an example of good people, but they aren’t the greedy hedge funds that are causing the most damage through unethical practices…

Short selling bets against the stock’s future performance. Traders borrowed Gamestop shares from brokerages and sold them at market price, with the obligation to eventually buy it back and return it.

I’ve never seen this comic before, but goddamn its accurate. At my last job sometimes it wasn’t even pizza, I offended a manager once when I told them I would not be coming in early before my shift to eat at our “party” catered with Olive Garden to go.

Don’t be fooled by the assumed authority and condescending tone of this article. The writer never bothered to find out _why_ this is happening. This is a really big story, writing it off as obvious delusions of crazed memers is totally missing the point.

You realize she was referring to a bunch of degenerates with a few dollars in their pocket, and not the hedge funds who were trying to drive down the share price in the first place, right?

Obviously this has moved to somewhere entirely beyond the realm of reality. But I still stand by my opinion that shorting GameStop that much was just a bad idea! Because for all the doom and gloom, I don’t think it was going out of business, and it did provide a legitimately useful service. [Also shorting more stocks…

Agreed, which is why I think the next “Occupy Wall Street” will be a lot more violent and destructive. When people don’t believe that peaceful protest is effective, they stop protesting and start rioting. It would not surprise me, at all, if someone set off a big ol’ bag of homemade ANFO like the Mythbusters cement…

 Both parties work for the elite, if there are any changes it will be that the peons will never be able to do this to the rich ever again.

You know what’s stupid. This is supposedly a “war” against short selling yet the example WSB and people keep talking about for inspiration is The Big Short which featured short sellers like Michael Burry keeping a short position in place for years expecting the housing market to collapse and when it did they made…

Sex twice a week? Are these people newlyweds? What a novel concept. Try being married for 20 years and see how often that magic moment happens. Once you hit about 40 or so, your idea of a great time is 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.
