GameStop investor retracts suit accusing Roaring Kitty of pump-and-dump scheme
  • It makes me sad because they act like a god damn cult with their memes and rhetoric. They keep huffing copium and saying the stock will definitely go to the moon this time. It's illogical. It's just gambling at this point among hardcore GME redditors. I haven't looked at the reddit in at least a year, so idk what it's like now.

    Makes me sad to see people fixating on some financial event from the Covid era, and deluding themselves into thinking this retail stock is gonna make them rich with no effort.

    Why does it make me sad? It's the same feeling as when I see old people spending their retirement in a casino, feeding a slot machine.

  • What media? What talking points? I was there when it went down, I bought the stock, my opinion is my own. They hold the stock due to a sunk cost fallacy. There's bound to be a little bit more nuance for some people but in my opinion it is a waste of time.

  • It's just so sad that some people are still hanging on to the GME bullshit after so long. Their ego doesn't allow them to acknowledge that they made a bad choice, and got fucked.

    So instead of just walking away, they dive deeper and deeper into this echo chamber, insisting you'll make millions off some shitty retail stock just because a few people got lucky almost 4 years ago.

  • Lawmakers want to know why there are fewer LGBTQ+ homeowners than straight: 'Concerning disparities'
  • People have not stopped talking about queer rights, because nothing has changed for the better, except for symbolic things like marriage which do nothing to improve actual quality of life.

    As for malnutrition, why do you think food assistance programs exist? While it may not be under a political spotlight, food security is indeed a relevant current issue. Just because you haven't read about it recently doesn't mean it's being ignored.

    You should try to understand the limits of your own perspective.

  • Give me one example of an "accepting society"

    Gay marriage may be legal, but nowhere in this world exists true equality. So what I'm saying is, it'd be impossible to reliably gather research comparing more accepting and less accepting places, because the overwhelmingly conservative climate still exists regardless of minor differences in public sentiment.

  • Lol your points are very reasonable, but that part about gay dudes not being familiar with home improvement is pretty goofy/baseless. I'm not mad, just acknowledging the outdated stereotype. Gay kids learn from their fathers same as you.

  • Black Atlanta Barbershop Owner Claims Trump Campaign Tricked Him For Pre-Debate Event
  • It says "Donald Trump 4 President" on the contract, DIRECTLY NEXT TO where the owner signed his name. The guy got offered nearly 5k to host for only 2.5 hours. Dude knew what he was getting in to, but probably needed the money, and is now claiming ignorance.

    If he really didn't know, and he really missed that part of the contract, it's just negligence on his part.

  • Lifting giant rocks with balloons millions of years ago...
  • Also they prefaced that second one with "History for Dimwits", indicating that they don't take themselves seriously. Any other dumb shit on their page is probably just the same thing, meant to grab attention.

  • What’s really inside vapes? We pulled them apart to find out
  • Nicotine salts in vapes absorb differently and feel very different, especially for someone who is accustomed to the relatively low dose in cigarettes. Not saying you're wrong, but there's no reason to think it's anything other than nicotine just because it gave you a massive head rush. That's what vapes do.

  • I fuckin love mount&blade. Is bannerlord worth it though?

    Saw that you made this community and reminded me of my many years of playing warband thru childhood. Should I buy Bannerlord for my next playthrough or is it kinda meh? Never heard much about the game.
