It’s not like people are going to say “that person doesn’t drink coffee, they must like anime” and discover your horrible secret. coffee is one of the few compounds that has a veritable mountain of real, clear evidence backing up its actually pretty awesome health benefits.

the only way to drink coffee is to make a supersaturated solution of instant coffee in microwaved tap water

I just don't understand the hand at the tiller. The US has done a lot to destroy the world system it presided over, and ... I don't really understand the belief that other countries would continue to play ball unless the ruling class of those countries were all bought off cosmopolitans. The problem is, I suppose, that the West's own actions prevented that from ever being the case? Russia and China would have had to be invited into the club in the first place for their elite to sell out national interest, correct?

spacemang_spliff posted:You can't just say that and not post deranged rear end examples So, for those who aren't familiar: a bunch of hedge funds figured out they can naked short weak companies to death, and if they're successful, it's pure profit since they never have to cover their positions. They targeted GameStop and a bunch of just the most deranged psychopaths on Reddit started buying up huge swaths of the stock to take it out of the float and try to force a short squeeze. The hedge funds manipulated their way out of it but then doubled down on the naked shorting, so right now there's supposedly millions upon millions of completely synthetic shares floating around and the Reddit lunatics keep buying more and pulling it out of trading. It's a humongous game of chicken-- if GameStop goes bankrupt all the Redditors lose their shirts, whereas if they can force the issue long enough for the hedge funds to have to close their shorts, the stock price should go insane. GS posted an unexpectedly good quarterly result the other day, which drove the price up and is making everyone on both sides freak out. The poo poo with Credit Suisse and UBS and all that apparently involves some of these GameStop short bags being passed around like a really explosive hot potato, and every time somebody new gets on the hook and takes one look at the balance sheet they immediately try to bail. So it's looking like maybe another disaster a la the Big Short is coming, and that's pretty reasonable. But then you get into the batshit stuff, where the Redditors have decided since, technically, naked shorting can leave you on the hook for exponential rises in the stock price, they're going to lock down all the legit shares, force the squeeze, and hold on until GameStop's shares are worth millions of dollars apiece, at which point capitalism will throw its hat to the ground and stamp on it and we'll all be using GameStop-branded NFTs for money. Any time anybody involved tweets anything it gets broken down and overanalyzed on a level that would make Qanon folks blush. It's /r/superstonk where the high-test crazy is right now.

An important detail is that it took a miracle of coordination for the Reddit posters to drive the stock to $400, and it was deflated when Robin Hood turned off the ability to buy Gamestop shares. This protected their parent company, I don't know if the SEC punished them or not, but it was a good reminder that the little guy doesn't get to win.

I don't think GameStop is going to go bankrupt since they've shored up some of their business and shed a lot of debt, but revenue has tanked considerably in the last decade and it's not exactly growing. Their core business of actually selling games has maybe, at best, one console cycle left, and the person leading the helm is a guy that's obsessed with NFT's and other tech bro nonsense. Perhaps they'll go the AMC route and fleece their shareholders with zany stock offerings, but other than that they don't really have a whole lot of options since the digital market on PC is controlled by Steam, even Epic can't really break that monopoly. I wouldn't really trust the people on Superstonk with their information, most of those people will extrapolate any potential thing, or just outright make stuff up, in order to try and pump the stock price. They're similar to crypto people in the way they'll misuse jargon and terminology that describes an actual thing, in order to make up fantasy claims that justify their position. For example one of the current top posts is "due diligence" about how gamestop shares are "going dark" (aka the company is delisting it's stock) to dry up the float on those dastardly shorts. The OPs evidence comes from putting gamestop in a patent search engine, and finding one named "methods and systems for a blockchain transfer agent protocol", which... I'm honestly not sure what the connection is but the OP assures me there is one. Look, goons might be fuckin stupid, but redditors are actual knuckle draggers. And besides the one brief window they got one over on institutional shorts, they've been getting their clocks cleaned ever since. You're fighting a machine that has infinite cash to load into a gattling gun and fire at the mobs of people dumb enough to wander into no mans land.

Yeah, that's what's so great about it-- you'll see stuff where people are drawing completely reasonable inferences based on financial news, and then you'll see batshit stuff like that, and it's all accepted at face value there without question. I just get a kick out of the far end, the folks who believe that one share of GameStop stock is going to be their ticket to not just generational wealth but owning their own country. Shear Modulus posted:didn't the hedge funds solve this problem by having robinhood steal all their customers' gamestop stocks and sell them Oh yeah, whatever Robinhood did to them a couple years ago they were furious about. Now they've taken to buying all their shares from GameStop's transfer agent directly, with the idea that takes them out of "play" so to speak to be used against them. Apparently the company wasn't prepared to deal with tens of thousands of Reddit maniacs, and are apparently still doing a fair amount of the business using postal mail. But yeah, it's very crypto-esque (outside of the literal crypto poo poo) insofar as they think they're going to beat capitalism with math. kazmeyer has issued a correction as of 04:12 on Mar 24, 2023 |

The official policy of the CCP towards the US is something they call "managed decline". From their point of view, they've already won. They own the means of production, now all they have to do is outcompete western capital with their obviously more stable system. Meanwhile, the west is in a state of decline. Europe is pretty worthless. It has a trade deficit and is basically demilitarized. Ukraine is at war, France is on fire, Germany is out of gas, Italy has gone full fash. In the middle east, Israel is also on fire, the Saudis are hopping ship, and America left an army's worth of equipment in Iraq who is now cutting deals with China. Everything is falling apart, all they have to do is wait. That's why they don't act when America puts troops in Taiwan. The one thing that could gently caress it all up is a direct nuclear conflict so they're just gonna avoid that provocation at all costs.

I just get a kick out of the far end, the folks who believe that one share of GameStop stock is going to be their ticket to not just generational wealth but owning their own country. I mostly just feel bad for the true believers. My partner has a friend who divorced their husband for various reasons, mostly financial mismanagement. He had a brilliant plan, where if you don't pay your mortgage, the banks will actually just bluff on foreclosure and you can live in your house for free (few know this). He's been reduced to selling his furniture on facebook marketplace, while also holding down his side hustle of constantly shilling for meme stonks on twitter. He calls himself a "divorce ape" and has managed to burn through his marriage, his house, and pretty much all of his possessions so he can go to disney world multiple times a year and buy AMC.

A Bakers Cousin posted:yeah i thought it had come out that the hedge funds played reddit hard The first wave of Redditors actually did manage to swindle a bunch of money from hedge funds. Pump and dumps are so effective that it's illegal for an individual to lead one, but there's no law against a ton of people doing a pump and dump as a meme. However, everyone who bought in after the peak got left holding the bag, and now they're desperate to convince themselves that they didn't actually waste $10,000 being idiots.
