Talking points: That bunch of retail traders made a bad choice and ego won’t allow them to bail out. That it was ‘luck’ for a few people a few years ago.
It may have been a bad choice for you and that’s why I wonder why you posted what you did instead of your own opinion baked through your own experience. More powerful words generally come from personal experience.
I’m not here arguing with you about the stock, it being a good/bad investment isn’t what I’m on about. I guess I’m more hung up on why you said what you did.
Like, what was it that compelled you to post such a banal response to this post? It’s so sad that people are holding stock in a company with a ton of cash, a motivated and aligned management team, and very little debt?
Sounds like you’re painting a brush and saying that any person holding Gamestop makes you sad. It’s a pretty broad assertion that, honestly, feels like it has a story behind it.
Just because a few people got lucky…? My dude, instead of parroting media talking points do the reading so you know what’s actually keeping folks holding the stock.
My bad. Just subbed a handful of days ago. Fixed going forward 👍
Adding a third, their cover of You Spin Me Right Round is not bad too!
I love the mood those two set with their arrangements
They’ve got some great stuff! Definitely check out their take on Wake Up by Rage Against the Machine
Covers are great for this exact thing, I do the same all the time. The album has some interesting folks working with AWOLNATION, sheds some light on what they’re up to these days
Honestly, the best way to lower your intake of sugar isn’t to replace it with a different sweetener. In most cases, you’ll find its not an adequate ‘replacement’ because psychologically, looking for a direct analog (or super close in taste at the minimum).
It’s the habit that needs to change, not the way you scratch the itch. I’m not a fan of absolutes, so I don’t think an intention of “no more refined sugar. Period.” is practical or reasonable. But cutting down how much you intake by reducing the frequency, that’ll do wonders for you.
This method is what kick started my journey down this same path. You can still have sugar (yay!), but you most likely won’t want to very often after not too long (wtf?).
It is so mind bottlingly crazy how much sugar is in literally everything from breads to sauces. Once I cut down how much sugar I was taking in (by cutting down how often I had a sweet drink of any kind, one drink at a time), I could taste the sweetness in food at restaurants, savory stuff from the bakery…I couldn’t escape it.
Now, I’ll have a couple of sweet drinks in a day. I control how much sugar I put in by not buying sweet drinks and instead making stuff at home. Coffee, flavored water, etc.
Long story short…
There is NO great methadone for refined sugar. If you want to reduce how much you’re ingesting, reduce the frequency. Be kind to yourself by setting reasonable, bite-sized goals so that the achievement encourages you to continue on and make more progress.
Anything in moderation; nothing in excess
Say what you mean; mean what you say.
No idea where I heard or read it, but preteen me internalized it and it’s become part of my creed to this day
I saw the post title and was like “no fuckin’ way…”
Love how Arnett called attention to it too. “anyone got the balls to follow up on the mushrooms?” hahahaha
When it comes time for the conversation, and if it’s a paid sick day; remember that it’s part of your compensation package and you’re entitled to use it. Would you feel guilty about cashing your paycheck?
Don’t apologize for being sick and needing a day; take the mindset that they should be glad it’s just a day because let’s face it, no one gets back to 100% after one day.
Be human, man. Be kind to yourself.
I think telekinesis is the way to go.
Thanks for the kind words!
Israel did ratify the Genocide convention though; as a result
The Genocide Convention authorizes the mandatory jurisdiction of the ICJ to adjudicate disputes
I think from a global general-population perspective, if things don’t go the right way there are going to be some very angry and disillusioned people. People who are already teetering on the brink of going from abject frustration to full-on rage. For one side, nothing short of a cease-fire will do (as a bare minimum); for the other side, anything imposed on them is a crime against humanity.
I feel like UN/ICJ know this, so they’ll hedge their bets and swing for the middle. No matter which way it goes, some chunk of the general population is going to be let-down. Again.
Shameless plug in coming… !coververse@lemmy.world
More than just cover songs; we also try to find covers where the original has been re-imagined or adapted. If you think you might like some genre-bending in your life, come check us out
Anyone else feel like this is a powder-keg waiting to blow up? 🙋♂️
Wonder if it would serve well as the brains of a smart mirror? And if you have the inclination to make one…
Thanks for following up and sharing this; sincerely. There’s not enough of this kind of emotive sharing with Gamestop. I agree that a lot of the ‘movement’ borders on being cult like in the blindly following kind of way.
I touch base on reddit monthly or so to keep tabs because the same thing you find sad, I find absolutely fascinating. All the dynamics at play…from shifts in sentiment, conspiracy-style interlopers, systemic corruption to the highest levels of bureaucracy, and sometimes actual information about the mechanics lubricating the movement of stocks and money.
I’ve been told I’m an emotionless rock though, so it might account for our differing perspectives on how people spend money.
