The redditors were right about gme but they were tremendously wrong about the timeline and were all left holding the bag after like a day or two. Sure some hedge funds got sacked but the damage was done early and it never skyrocketed like they thought, I'd be surprised if the AMC shenanigans lasted more than a day or two more before cratering.

The redditors also didn't expect the to be locked out of the market while the hedge funds manipulated the number to screw them over either.

Yeah it was pretty hilarious how Robinhood just flat out refused to trade in any of the meme stocks for the day or two when it really mattered and let all the big fish get their ducks in a row

I'm guessing wsb are all still using it too, lol

It's ok. We amuse ourselves on the forums with ongoing jokes so you may have thought it was a bit, but when the money printer went on last year I think a lot of us accepted that they were never going to allow number to drop ever again. It's a big shift in how people think the world works, and certainly seems like a sick joke, so everyone's gotta process it in their own time.

I am fully prepared to settle in my new position as the perma-bear insane person.

I don't know if this is covid moratorium or economy related, but I am seeing a crazy number of people moving out of my apartment complex. Usually I only spot an empty apartment or two, but right now I see about 7 empty apartments just in my building and the one next door alone which I've never seen in the decade I've lived here.

She defines Artificial Intelligence as just automation.
Her argument is that: automate farming = communism.
She sees farming as a job people don't want to do. (Que in any other job.)
And instead of trying to figure out to get people to do that work, just have robots do that poo poo.
She thinks "Tada. Now everybody is happy."


Automating farming does not automatically make the world communist
We can automate framing right now, but also allow it for only 1 million people and everybody else can just gently caress off and die.
You can automate farming and still have capitalism, or slide back into monarchy, or some other dumb gently caress inhumane system.

We've automated farming for over 100 years now. Farming is done by under 3,000,000 people of the 360,000,000 us citizens


Pictures about farming, about three years old now.

"If all republicans hosed off to another countries everybody's lives would be better."

Their usual response is: OH you don't know how to farm and would starve to death.



My poo poo head response is: "Farming is just driving a really big car, really slowly, without traffic. And Corporations make most of the food. Little farms don't matter."

Then just to twist the loving knife: "The Latin woman working in the time square McDonald is more important than any farmer."

i think elon and grimes admire communists because communists don't ask for permission to do things, and while they are not communists, they feel like liberalism is holding them back. therefore, they want to suck the communists' energy and spirit like vampires, take power, then they'll kill the communists and become gods
