I get DiscoveryPlus for a few things, and it's hilarious to me that HBO Max is rushing at breakneck speed to slam the Discovery+ catalog into theirs, because aside from science channel stuff and Battlebots, DiscoveryPlus is almost entirely trash TV. Scrambling to merge your service with a lot of the best TV shows ever made and a decent movie selection with 8,000 hours of 90 Day Fiancee and an infinite well of home flipping shows.

Honestly kind of sad what is happening to HBO, maybe someday we'll get an A24 streaming service with original shows or something

Xaris posted:lol i love my large 35 year old children. honestly a lot of the moral panic ads people cited as wow they're marketing to teens! was a super big stretch. unless you count any social media marketing as targetting teenagers, but then maybe there shouldn't be any advertisement and data collection on social media if the assumption is the userbase is teenagers, including banning all influencers, but i guess capital doesn't want to open that can of worms. xaris for once in these threads can you stop rationalizing outright evil people who are actively making the world the world a worse place to live in? i know you mean well i just wanna have a good thursday

Does the last few weeks for number feel like a giant pump right before a giant dump (lol) for anyone else? Every financial institution is screaming that in the next month or so the economy is going to start to tank. Granted that number no longer represents the economy...

Market has been in a holding pattern waiting for earnings season, which should start reporting over the next couple weeks. If a dump doesn't happen this month then it's likely not happening until the end of the summer.

JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:just go back to newsgroups I did this and I'm honestly kinda underwhelmed compared to torrents. The only real benefit has been that my ISP no longer sends me vaguely threatening letters when they catch me pirating something. Maybe the search engine I use just sucks. I went with NZBGeek and while it's great for any recently released TV show or movie it sucks for anything else and if it's something that was posted more than 3 years ago it's like 50/50 whether it will actually complete the download.

FlapYoJacks posted:Ok but when in the last two decades has earnings made a difference with number? The market is just trading inverse to the dollar, if you want to predict the market or Bitcoin, you have to predict the dollar and Fed rates. Personally, I don’t think there will be a 2008 collapse but rather the Fed is going to be rapidly increasing its balance sheet which in turn is going to weaken the dollar. There may be some drops here and there though if the Fed has some surprise rate increases. The market has long detached from the economy, it is all about the dollar at this point.

The word free still existed in Newspeak, but only to communicate free will. The word could not denote the absence of something, e.g. "The healthcare is free from cost" or "This television is free of advertisements", because economic freedom was no longer supposed to exist in America.

It is very annoying that the common understanding of that book is that communism and mass surveillance is bad when the real message is that controlling language is controlling thought, which is exactly what is happening to us.

The market just shrugged off the almost implosion of the entire banking sector like it was nothing. There is so much money sitting in money markets waiting to buy the dip in the upcoming recession I am starting to think it won't actually have a significant pullback.

There is so much money sitting in money markets waiting to buy the dip in the upcoming recession I am starting to think it won't actually have a significant pullback. Cash is sitting in money market accounts beside they are giving pretty fantastic rates historically speaking, but to “unlock” that money the Fed needs to dramatically cut rates. I think we are more going towards a “sideways” market.
