Yeah my dad was court ordered to pay a pretty penny in alimony to my mom when they divorced and just didn’t fight it at all

And then proceeded to pay a small percentage of it based on vibes and then stop paying it whatsoever at a whim. What were we gonna do, sue him? He probably didn’t have it anyway.

She worked him through his law degree and stayed home to raise the kids and do all the housework and church stuff. But she only gets half of what he’ll get through social security, because nobody values the work she did.

In regards to the BBBY goalpost migrations:

1. Overstock makes a bid of 21mil instead of the billions BBBY is clearly worth. Clearly fake news!

quote:

"The sale still needs to be approved at a hearing on Tuesday. " aka won't happen

quote:

these reporters got no shill hahaha, bbby stores will disappear, like wtf !!! nothing is set in stone yet, overstock did not buy any physical stores bitch !!! Still think 21 mil was a bargain price... I dont wanna sound super optimistic, but think about teddy and gmerica, all the filings that been approved, thats all u gotta know !!! I really just want this to be over, im just tired of the constant fud and chills preying on the shareholders !!! hopefully there is a light at the end of the tunnel, we've gotten hit harder than gme and amc combined with this bankruptcy thing actually happening ... i pray for you all that you can get up from this stronger than ever, and take life by the balls and just smile, even if it hurts ! Ima drive this bitch to cero, i dont care at this point !

2. The deal is fake, it’s protecting the real bidder and someone is going to pay them 400k last second to snatch it up to begin the great merger.

quote:

Do you believe that they have been in discussions with overstock for half a year for a 21.5 million dollar deal? Seems like a lot of work for such a small slice of the business.

quote:

with the overstock deal to let them run their website, while BB&B waits for the outcome of their lawsuit against the shipping lines in order to maximize their valuation before M&A. BBBYQ is not disappearing anytime soon, IMO.

Alternatively, the M&A happens sooner with the Overstock deal being terminated.

quote:

The sub is crawling with shills right now, including the comments on this post. They are really pushing the narrative that it’s all over just because the brand is gone even though a brand is just a name,logo,etc and the company itself still remains including the stronger of the 2 brands, baby

3. The secret buyers? Pulte smokes a cigar = deal made. Or maybe it’s Cohen, who definitely has a secret connection to BBBY and didn’t really sell his shares.

4. Today’s court hearing, 5 hours ago. Did i just hear that court statement correct, from the attractive blonde speaking. 'They are thrilled that they have a well established, and well known buyer that will preserve the company!"

Am I crazy?! Did i hear that, or is it made up in my head?


5. 3 hours ago: Overstock bought it. This is now bullish.

quote:

All people working for BBBY CH11 are extremely motivated, and they are giving 150% to get the - turnaround. I enjoyed the passion of all speakers. (my opinion)
Overstock won, but "[...] we have a buyer beyond our expectations [...]". So the package seems to be better than we all know.
We have two safe backup bidders.
Some of the bondholders want to f*ck BBBY, because they are scared that they will get nothing in the end, when they get a good turnaround.

I stopped by a local one here recently for shits in giggles since I haven't been to one in over a decade +. Everything is on "out of business sale", and I still did not find a single item worth purchasing there. The majority of inventory is cheap dollar store-level Chinese knockoffs (KINGWA brand etc) that you see you also see a million copies of on Amazon being sold at ridiculous prices compared to what you can get on Amazon or at a random dollar store. Some actual brand names like Sonicare were X% off whatever ridiculous price they invented, making it a worse deal than a regular Tuesday shopping on Amazon. Good riddance.

The cult followers have either never been inside the store or are convinced that this was the future of retail for some sick reason (when dollar stores exist with the same exact trash products for cheaper).

I was on board until they hit me with the "from the creators of The Simpsons" blurb in the trailer. It instantly laid bare what new Futurama would be like.

Buy buy baby has some decent deals right now. I’ve got a friend who’s pregnant and I did some solid registry shopping last weekend. Got the bassinet she wanted for 40% off.

Just because they clean your money doesn't mean it's freshly laundered. I have no idea if they use lavender scent and whether they hang their NFTs on a clothesline to dry.

Also bbby sold off all the leases yesterday for $36 million. they now don't have their own name (sold for $21 million) or their own stores, but they do have billions in debt. naturally the "apes" think this is bullish

also, enjoy this post where someone makes a slight math error and declares they got $550 million for the leases.

I went to the local store (Daly City) a day or two after they started their sale and the place was picked clean already. I got the last Halo swaddle on the shelf at a massive 10% off and buggered off.

correct. this is the best book ever written about bitcoin, and it came out in 1841.

the 1848 edition includes the then-current Railway Mania, if you like ICOs too
