just saying

let's not go too crazy

1) most people profiting from all this are still massive firms, albeit the ones that actually invested in gamestop- see blackrock for instance

2) ordinary people might be 'coming together', but most of the elites are just paying lip service to the most egregious example of a systemic problem, just like with martin shkreli or bernie madoff or any other scapegoat. most people don't have the vocabulary to actually express why they're being fucked- half of them say "this isn't true free market capitalism!"

lmao

nothing more need be said

I mean, absent this sort of intervention by the actual trading apps (which I suppose you could argue was inevitable), there definitely was "money to be made" up to a certain point. just because the bubble is eventually going to burst doesn't mean it can't reach a crazy high level first. that being said if I had money tied up in this I definitely would set a sell limit because I'm not a total madman

im pretty sure everyone knows that and the idea was to hold until literally the second the major holders give up and try to sell their shorts en masse, but obviously this whole situation circumvents that

im pretty sure that our crazy far right supreme court has upheld ludicrous arbitration agreements before

in theory they shouldn't but that's not always how things work

reminder: https://www.vice.com/en/article/qjpnz5/robinhoods-customers-are-hedge-funds-like-citadel-its-users-are-the-product

even if the class action lawsuit against robinhood works, the odds of them facing penalties as large as the combined savings they just gave to citadel and all the other companies seems pretty low

I guess we fucked up by assuming good things could happen in this country, our mistake

there is no better representation of the fact that 2/3 of the people on the internet are actually insecure teenagers than the reaction that cheaters (or ddosers, or general trolls) have when they get banned from their favorite activity

have you ever seen a big twitch streamer go through their unban requests live on stream? literally the most embarrassing thing you will ever watch

that's actually a good point mr aim

when rgl put such heavy class restrictions in advanced, they basically ensured that the teams that won it would be a) super hungry to go to invite because they're not sandbaggers, and b) even more likely than usual to be bottomfeeders in invite because they essentially can't have any mainclassers with invite experience unless they joined the team in the offseason

so those teams need to actually be allowed to play invite or else theyre stuck in purgatory, either that or advanced, ironically, needs a sandbagging team or two to keep them from being in this position in the first place

I don't know if this counts as unpopular but I really really miss the days of b4nny pugchamps

he made all the games really tryhard which was great if you were in the mood, and his stream was either 1) him owning or 2) him malding both of which made for excellent content

yo I'm trying to turn over a new leaf, so I decided to get a mouse as far away from my boomer preferences (palm/claw hybrid, always used large ergo mice, been using an ec1-b for the last few years) as possible for comparison's sake

I'm exaggerating slightly because I'm not gonna become a fingertip aimer all of a sudden so I don't want a SUPER teeny tiny mouse, but after thinking about it for a while I know I definitely want a mid sized wireless ambi mouse, and I'm basically between the viper ultimate, g pro wireless and model o wireless

all of them have great reviews, but my biggest worry about each is:

-viper ultimate- might be too low profile, making any sort of semi-palm grip uncomfortable

-g pro wireless- the double clicks, plus the price point (and I definitely don't wanna splurge on the superlight)

-model o wireless- standard old-timer revulsion towards the holes, plus I've heard murmurings of qc issues if you're not a youtube reviewer!

can someone help me sort though this morass? I am hella overthinking this lol

you guys might not respect makkabeus' decision-making, but you have to at least admire his willingness to explain himself to the community in threads like this within a reasonable 24 hour window

wait hold up my producer is saying something in my ear right now

depends on how much you believe in 'old man strength'
