| Flaming_Fire619 01/27/21 7:21:43 AM #237 | lilORANG posted... I think we should be concerned that a subreddit can manipulate the market so easily. Our economy is a bit of a paper tiger. I mean, this was sort of the perfect situation where a bit of a meme stock ended up being way too shorted, but I also can agree with this. Really what is to stop this from happening all over again with the next super low stock and have a concerted effort to buy it all? This is the main reason why I think there might be regulation coming. A concerted effort of a group (and not a small one0 with access to a large forum to plan this out and essentially work together to manipulate stock value is not something I think the exchange can take happening multiple times. It really just shows how arbitrary stock value is. I don't know what regulation is coming, but I could very much see some form of limitation on shorting now --- Not changing until Shelton Benjamin wins the WHC Started: Jan. 10. 2009 http://myanimelist.net/profile/fantheflames |

| Flaming_Fire619 01/26/21 11:16:08 PM #176 | CommunismFTW posted... So Bob wants to sell on Thursday Morning. Those Bobs will make money. But if I thought of it, everyone else will too. As was probably said, this whole thing is going to come down to when the first massive sell happens. If there's a coordinated effort like WSB to push the stock higher and higher, it could work. But it really only takes a decent sized group to begin to sell and I think most people are going to start panic selling once they see a consistent decrease in value. So it comes down to how long you're willing to wait and hope the sell doesn't happen. --- Not changing until Shelton Benjamin wins the WHC Started: Jan. 10. 2009 http://myanimelist.net/profile/fantheflames |

| Flaming_Fire619 01/26/21 11:07:51 PM #172 | NinjaWarrior455 posted... Well it all depends. If Bob sells then he makes his profit, but if Bob plus a million people sell, then the value of the stock will crash and basically become worthless. I highly doubt the SEC will get involved so really it's just a game of chicken at this point. This is also the issue, and why even if it seems nice if I had money, I would never invest in a stock like this. If you are not around at the exact moment the massive sell off happens (And it's going to happen) and you don't have someone to sell it off for you, you are going to lose money. It might not hit 4$ a share lows again, but there is no way that GME stock stays at 200$ once the sell starts. And it's only going to get worse if WSB gets their way and pushes the hold on these stocks all the way to something like 4000 dollars (the meme is 4200.69$). --- Not changing until Shelton Benjamin wins the WHC Started: Jan. 10. 2009 http://myanimelist.net/profile/fantheflames |

| Flaming_Fire619 01/26/21 11:03:13 PM #169 | CommunismFTW posted... Can you narrow that down for me? Realistically, I don't think anyone that's actually buying in right now is going to face legal action for buying in on GME. You can't really charge someone for something that wasn't illegal at the time. What this might end up doing is making the SEC look long and hard about both short selling and about potential coordinated efforts to screw over short selling. This sort of scenario is not viable in the long run, and could very easily hurt way more people than just the heavy hedge fund investors if enough common folk buy in and then are left holding the bill when the stock plummets (Because it will plummet, whenever WSB just decides it'll be fun to sell off) --- Not changing until Shelton Benjamin wins the WHC Started: Jan. 10. 2009 http://myanimelist.net/profile/fantheflames |

However, what is going on now there should be legal and regulatory repercussions. This is unnatural, insane, and dangerous." I mean, even if he's profiting, in a way he's right. It was stupid of hedge funds to short GME this much. But you can't really tell me that the price of the stock now is at all what the company is worth. If this skyrockets past 1000$ like some people are wanting, it is going to cause a lot of issues, especially if this becomes a norm on stocks. --- Not changing until Shelton Benjamin wins the WHC Started: Jan. 10. 2009 http://myanimelist.net/profile/fantheflames |

| Flaming_Fire619 01/13/21 4:12:57 PM #116 | VioletMassacre posted... Statement from her Twitter: I agree with her that there is nothing inherently wrong with engaging in power play (as modest as the power play may be.). But implying that something being porn means it doesn't need trigger warnings is absolutely asinine. There is a ton of porn out there that doesn't need trigger warnings. Playing out a scene that would be traumatic if it was actually a real, true nonconsensual experience does require that shit because of what it can do to a psyche. But she is also implying this is cancel culture so yeah, she's basically playing to the incel culture. Probably because she knows these freaks want to do the same thing to her I should also point out that this only is in regards to what was originally a fairly vanilla porn star. If Belle was known for hard-core bdsm and kinks prior to this and you searched her out anyway, that's on you.

I was on imgur when the first selfiemas was thought of and it originally was supposed to be a day where every selfie got upvoted in support of people.

I can't say I'm much of a fan of these kinds of gimmicks To be honest while I liked the videos (when they weren't stuck in covid and doing online stuff) I can get where the gimmick is sort of dumb in the long run. It was a fun experiment and I do applaud them for actually going with the deleting, but I just think leaving it up as a memorial and not uploading anything elae would have been fine.

Well rip. I can assure you if you look hard enough you will be able to find videos. As much as they stated they will be shutting down and going after re-uploads there will be plenty of personal torrents. But if you aren't into more random sorts of comedy and videos (think going from Horseback Archery to a video of doing a sauna using their own urine) I can't really recommend it. --- Not changing until Shelton Benjamin wins the WHC Started: Jan. 10. 2009 http://myanimelist.net/profile/fantheflames |

| Topic | It's time for the Progressives to get more aggressive and take over the DNC |
| Flaming_Fire619 11/04/20 8:15:17 AM #49 | The 2020 Primary probably should be a sign that in general the voting block for the US is not nearly as Progressive as people seem to make it out to be, and that you will definitely see more defections if the progressives try and just immediately go for the White House. Bernie was only winning early on because the Moderate vote was split amongst like 5 candidates. Once it coalesced around Biden it wasn't even close. And there was no shift from anyone else's factions to Bernie once the other candidates dropped out. Even then, going straight for the Presidency is not going to do anything when you have a Congress that is conservative. If you want to make waves, start by getting more progressives elected in lower goverments/Congress to actually establish that base necessary to continue getting Progressive stuff done when they take the White House (In like 20 years if we're lucky) --- Not changing until Shelton Benjamin wins the WHC Started: Jan. 10. 2009 http://myanimelist.net/profile/fantheflames |

I was always hoping that they were building up to an AC set in current times where the war between the Templars and Assassins reached its culmination. The biggest issue here is there's probably at least a minimal risk of getting someone angry if you pose a modern day AC game and imply that a still living person or someone that has a relative still living was a Templar. Like, with the AC 2 games, no one is going to complain that you're portraying the Borgia as evil folks who are looking to take over and work for an underground conspiracy to control the masses.

Loved animals, loved working with them, loved the science behind it all. Worked my ass off and actually ended up scoring a spot in one of the top schools in the world. But then I actually sat down and looked at the numbers and they weren't great. I was looking at 300k in debt, moving overseas for minimum 5 years, and id be graduating looking at a job that would pay maybe 70k a year starting if I was lucky. Everyone I talked to said vet was not worth it and I couldn't imagine that level of crippling debt. So I didn't accept the position and pivoted to pharmacy, planning on going to school for that. And...i hate it. Like just absolutely cannot stand this. It's literally everything dull I was trying to avoid in life wrapped up but I just didn't know what else to do. I didn't actually start pharmacy school yet but...idk, I'm just venting here.
