   I'm absolutely not saying it's as bad as the capitol rights, I'm saying I'm seeing the same disinformation, unsubstantiated claims and absolute freedom from fact based reasoning we saw in those other communities. I made

   You don't do anything to dissaude me by providing no information to actually dissuade me, but just emotionally reacting. This is the exact sort of hysterical emotoinal reaction to events that shows how dangerous a situation we're

   To be honest, the more I'm watching this, the more it seems like the same behaviour we saw from the Trump supporters in the build up to 6th Jan. Baseless accusations, incredible emotive language, fact-free discourse and massive ramp up

   Becuase the market price isn't $10. There is a price people are willing to buy and a price that people are willing to sell- which makes sense because if there's a price in the market someone is willing to sell at and I'm will

   I'm not an expert but it seems to me that this whole 100% thing is a total red herring. If I (A) have 50 shares in GME, I let you (B) borrow them and short sell them to person (C), person (C) now owns them, you (B) can borrow them from

   There are many coffee shops in the city and there are plenty of social media platforms online (Youtube, Facebook, Tiktok, Reddit, Twitter, Whatsapp, Telegram, Twitch, Pinterest, WeChat, Snapchat). Also, there's really no evidence they&

   By your standard every newspaper, every TV channel, every website that refuses to publish my views is censoring me. It's an absurd standard to call censorship. Discord has made no attempt to stop anyone saying anything, they're ju

   People need to stop being so lazy and throwing around the word censorship. If a bunch or teenagers come into my coffee shop and start loudly calling each autists and retards I'm going to kick them out. I'm not censoring them by ki

    I think there's a very obvious difference between a group reclaiming a word that has been used to marginalize them and discriminate against them (N word, Queer etc.) and people who are not part of that group using the word to mock each

    I don't think it's quite the same though, the Spanish word for black exists in an entirely different culture that isn't shaped by the words use in modern America. Whereas the WSB usage of language is a direct reaction to the

    Is this designed to cover up their earnings? Or is it usual to do this sort of thing at the same time as their earnings call?

    The second that the shorts have covered the price isn't going to drop to $90, it's going to drop back to $20 and most of the WSBers who were holding out for $2000 will lose their shirts. The shorts are going to lose, no doubt. But

    Yeah which is why it's stated as a problem to be solved, not some immutable fact of life. The issue is that we've seen incredibly little progress in this area. There have been studies on the British coal mines that shuttered under

    I'm not saying there's definitely only a handful of people actually driving the price. What I'm saying is that I don't think we have any real evidence about the number of people really involved, the level of their invest

    I always find this style of reporting rather unedifying - >No one is in charge of this effort, though, of course, some voices are louder than others. There has been a history of moderators on WSB using their position to push certain agen

    If 500 silicon valley engineers can replace 100,000 travel agents earning $50,000, then you have 500 silicon valley engineers earning $10m and 100,000 unemployed travel agents.

    I don't know if it's true that this is a particularly chinese thing. But I don't think it's impossible that a country with a very different culture has a very different attitude towards fraud and cheating and that manife

    Common carrier laws are woefully inadequate for this. Social media doesn't function by me going to your webpage and seeing what you've written. Twitter, TikTok, Facebook, Youtube, every single one are primarily driven by algorithm

    That's fine, but it would be negligent of a company to wait and hope that Red Hat pulls a rabbit out of a hat. The plan for most companies is going to be a new distro, and they're not going to reconsider when RH announces somethin
