that GME hodlers will actually get access to "once upon a time in shao-lin". i know it has been claimed they will, but i am also curious about the mechanism of that access. I am a fan of disrupting the known-to-be-unfair music industry, as well as ideas that giving GME hodlers access could facilitate a brokerage share-count if we have to link the access to a broker to verify share holding, so i am curious about those angles of all this.
if ryan cohen or keith gill don't want the whole set post-moass, i'll earmark that one for you, though truly I should send it to Mr_Boost! ;-)
thanks for keeping the doors open on this Lemmy instance. I think the social media wonkery is going to increase so i'm glad this lifeboat still floats!
This is an appreciation comment, stating how thankful I am that this Lemmy instance was kicked into gear. I'm glad this is here so when reddit implodes, and discord is all noise, and X does something fucked, there's this.
Thanks to the lemmings!
One by day, one by night
Prior to stumbling into the GME saga and starting to draw pictures about it on the regular, I drew a lot of line patterns that recombined with each other to form interconnecting patterns. The largest set of these drawings being an alphabet and number set that aligned to make patterns when words and sentences were compiled. I made that into a computer font I called “The Alphabetter!”, that I wanted to NFT and someday sell on the GME marketplace. Alas.
However, these interconnecting patterns take longer to draw because I do it all by hand and have to make sure that most lines in one picture have a place to align with in the adjacent panel(s) depending on the arrangement, so when I was drawing one pic a week for The Stonk I didn’t have enough time to get fancy. But since moving to a pic every 2 weeks, that’s given me the time to do it up!
So these two panels can be read a few ways, there’s the usual thick-lined-easy-find, but there’s also a more hidden thin lined set of words in there. The panels were drawn so they would recombine both horizontally and vertically, so they could be copied and pasted adjacent to each other up, down, and side to side, and still align the words both ways, as demonstrated in the animated gif versions posted here.
So while the FUD flows free and shills question the lack of guidance, or the missing of inflated targets, or the acumen of the executive suite..., for me this previous week of post-earnings FUD has shown in the comments that there are STILL just under 200,000 DRS’s badasses who are not only holding strong, but continuing the grind, and like myself they keep buying a few and DRS’ing, they still remember the insane touchstones of this bonkers saga, they still don’t give out financial advice but are still willing to help new apes just showing up. I am glad that we’re so immune to the bullshit now, that this train will not get knocked off the tracks, and that it may take time, but we WILL lock the float and then sit back to watch the fumbling explanations, the law breaking underhandedness, the finger pointing, the excuses, and the bold-faced-lies in the media. And then we’ll get paid. And then we’ll start fixing the shit the system was too corrupted to fix.
Let’s Fucking GO!
So many snakes in the grass sowing division
There have been so many paid actors trying to spread the division and confusion throughout this story
The thing is, to jump in on this i still wouldn't sell my GME, because it wouldn't make a huge difference to what Io what I have to put into this. I am a lower income ape, i work less than full time, so I can take the money i put into GME about every 2 months to buy a single handful of shares and put it towards AI instead if I really wanted to jump in on this alleged goldrush, but i wouldn't know the first thing about what to buy. And besids, the only people that really strike it rich in a goldrush are the outfitters, which in this case are still the shitty brokers likely sending everything to Citadel in PFOF.
So if you have the hot tip of "put $100 into and it'll be 10000X next month!" then let me know and I'll throw my next $100 i would have bought GME with into that, but I'm not selling any GME, especially not the DRS'd bits because I spent so goddam much to DRS them, and those shares either become a phone book number or I die with them still in my account.
Thanks! I'm glad there's a lemmy instance to put them on! I usually make recombinant pattern sets with the lines, but the GME saga seemed ripe for embedding words/acronyms into so I have really leaned into that the past couple years, I like how the set is turning out.
As we approach the DRS count
Plan vs. Book..., the debate seems to have simmered to an agreement that Book is King. However, for those of us buying direct at Computershare, we enroll in the DSPP/Plan when we do autobuys or one timer's.
The heat lamp theory brought a new wrinkle to the story, that maybe the DTCC can access Booked shares under the same account as Plan shares, if an account is enrolled in the DSPP/Plan, or if anything remains sitting in Plan, even a fractional dingleberry, all as part of CS's "operational efficiency" mechanism.
When a gamer is posed with a puzzle, they find ways to test solutions. One of the ways this hypothesis could be tested is if apes enrolled in the DSPP/Plan Terminate, then drop the dingleberry fractional, so their account is all Book, and nothing is left exposed to chicanery. To my mind, this is a bit of scientific testing, experimental trial and error if you will, and if apes truly became Book Kings (and Queens and everything in between and outside thereof), we would see if it makes a significant jump in the DRS share count on the next earnings report.
For those saying that we're giving away money by dropping the fractional, here's my thinking on that: If we have ~200k DRS'd apes, let's guestimate only half of them are enrolled in DSPP/Plan, because not everyone is buying direct, and some apes have multiple accounts, and not all of the accounts are enrolled, etc... After Terminating and Booking the full shares, let's say each of those accounts had an average of 0.5 of a share hanging onto uranus (personally I make sure I'm only dropping less than 0.3 of a share). That's the monetary equivalent of one fancy coffee, or a serving of avocado toast, and if I give up just one of those things every few months before the DRS count is done, it offsets the money lost on the dingleberry. So... not such a big deal!
You can do what you want with your enrollment in DSPP/Plan, but I like the scientific method and I want to test the heat lamp theory, so I am Terminating, dropping the fractional, and seeing what happens. I hope you'll do the same, because the day of the DRS count is likely coming at the end of this month, so you only have a couple weeks to get your buy in, settled, and terminated. Then we sit back, wait for earnings, and see if we've just fucked the DTCC's "operational efficiency" in the ass with no lube.
What's the worst that can happen? We each lose the equivalent of pocket change, and go back to autobuys and keeping fractionals like nothing happened once we're past earnings.
Test the hypothesis! woohoo! Science! I want to solve this puzzle!
RC's Fanboy
Love him, hate him, don't give a shit about him, regardless what you think of him, he's a character in this crazy saga. I have no idea what he's up to, but so far he seems to lean towards benevolence, and if it turns out he's been a shyster all along, a horde of screaming digijackals will swallow his soul for breakfast and spit out the gristly leftovers for pigeons to peck at indiscriminately. But for now, i'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and let him throw his own lawyers into the billionaire battle for the century and see how much he fights for those who can't afford their own paralegal platoon. If nothing else, he seems to be in a mutual appreciation society with Ryan Cohen, and despite inspiring division in the GME/BBBY/BBBYQ/TEDDY mob, he speaks about bringing factions together, so he can't be all bad. Maybe? Time will tell.
i wanted to make that one without the two touching because the token and the security were never in contact!
thanks for the kind words.
The collection of drawings for the stonk, so far
An ape asked if there was somewhere to see the whole collection of my drawings for the stonk (so far), so I made a video of almost all of them and put some music from one of Montreal’s best musical exports behind it. It’s been fun drawing a weekly pic for the stonk, but I’m about to switch to a new job, and life’s getting busy with other creative endeavours, so I am going to shift to posting a new pic every 2 weeks instead of weekly. I’m still buying from CS, then booking and terminating plan, still hodling my shares and not planning to sell anytime soon, still here with all you beautiful apes, just need to reprioritize my time for a bit to get other work done.
Here’s to this new year of watching the numbers, following the tinfoil, digging in the documents and making life tough for those who’ve had it easy.
No Cell, No Sell. Life changing wealth for single digit share hodlers. Ape no fight ape because apes together strong. We’re ALL going to make it.
The form we're waiting on
10-Q and K’s are good and all, but this one’s unscheduled, could drop at any moment, announces things like mergers, acquisitions, and things that could affect shareholders. So if RC’s reading this, send in that form and let’s get to work!
Renewed suspicion of the DRS numbers has rekindled interests in book, plan, operational efficiency, and this old theory.
I'm not sure if the DD is valid or not, but I keep my shares in Book to feel a bit safer about them not being used nefariously against me.
as a pessimist, i am all about the negative space ;-)
