Yeah, turned out I was actually more loyal to the app I was using than I was to the platform. Though I was also pretty good to the platform, I contributed and interacted daily and often spent money buying gold. I tend to take the attitude that if I’m getting a lot of use out of something I don’t mind spending a little to support it. That’s all in the past now and I wonder how many other paying users they burned.
AMA used to be a pretty big draw for lots of people who didn’t regularly use the site and often made international news, but they fucked that right up.
Yeah, this IPO will probably go just fine and a bunch of wankers will make a bunch of money. That’s what it’s all about, after all.
I suspect they’re looking into ways to keep their staff loyal, they’ll be considering things like controlling the supply of an addictive drug, implanting behaviour modification chips in their brains, explosive collars, holding their kids hostage. Shit like that. Because why else would anyone be loyal to these vermin?
I’d probably try something similar if I could, I’m not in the US though.
I’m guessing it’ll do pretty well, at least initially. There’s got to be a whole lot of investors out there who just want to get in on the new big tech IPO and still jump in. I’m not convinced the WSB crew will really move the dial. Yeah it’d be an amusing and salutary lesson if the IPO shits the bed but I can’t see it happening. I’m no expert tho!
They’ve had investors who were willing to pay into a loss-making company. Could be that they sold investors on the idea that it will be profitable at some point in the future but it needs to be funded while it grows. Could also be that the value they see in it is not just financial - the ability to influence opinion, harvest data, stuff like that.
Why on earth would they give those sweet pre-IPO shares up to the unwashed masses if they thought there was even a remote chance the IPO would at least break even?
I suspect it’s because they’re worried that their users are going to short them and encourage others to do the same, so they’re trying to get them involved and committed. They don’t want WSB causing shit. My guess is that the share prices will do pretty well, at least initially. There are plenty of ignorant investors who want to get in on the next big tech stock. Just a guess though, I don’t know enough about this stuff to invest in stocks myself.
When I was a kid in the 70s, a lurker was a turd that had failed to flush away properly. As in : “Dad left a big beefy lurker in the toilet again.” How language changes.
I mean, people paid to attend trump ‘university’. There are always plenty of fools who will buy stupid shit. I kind of feel sorry for the students though. Most people are pretty young at university age and many are still forming their perspectives. Getting away from home and meeting new people is an important part of this. Plenty of people from conservative families go away to uni and start to see that they’ve been brought up on bullshit. This is an attempt to stop that from happening - the ‘anti-woke’ shit will attract more conservative students which will reduce the chance that any of them will encounter different views and cultures so they stay in their ignorance bubble. Don’t want little Johnny or Jane coming home from school an anarchist! It’s sad for the students though who will come away in massive debt with a useless degree and have less opportunity for healthy change.

I have no idea what horrible thing this will do to an LLM but I’m kind of curious.
I’m cool with that. Maybe they can do tailgaters next.
Mostly, but not always first person. But I’m not always the same person - my age and sex isn’t at all consistent in my dreams. I’ve been an old woman or a baby boy, and pretty much everything across those spectrums. In my dreams it’s completely unremarkable.
Your tits are lovely. And really, quality is more important than quantity. Lots of smaller breasted women seem to feel a bit insecure about them, so much media and porn seems to imply that they should have big boobs to be attractive - and that’s not true at all. The rest of you looks pretty sweet too!
The rest of you looks pretty glorious too. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah I’m looking forward to it. Currently playing through the old ones, they hold up surprisingly well.
Zoo visitors however said that the enthusiastic and uninhibited nature of their sex life certainly implied consent, even if the bird was unable to vocalise this.
Yeah Herodotus talks about a lot of peoples with different physical characteristics too. Although TBF like the old testament, it’s written centuries before Jesus, I’m not sure the same applies to both time periods.
Or fashion bow ties from their testicles. . ?
Yeah, the bill and Melinda gates foundation does a lot of good work. Doesn’t mean bill gates is a good person but maybe there are some billionaires higher on the arsehole scale.
