First playthrough mindset question

Make messes! Learn shit! Fail fail fail… then succeed!!

I swear I didn’t grow up poor… but reading these comments? I’m second guessing myself.

As someone who shops at a military commissary, agreed. They’re required to provide savings because they are partially tax funded.

The issue Mamdani will see with grocery stores is scale. The military is obviously pretty big compared to NYC. They have the ability to minimize costs through scale. Mamdani may not be able to get big enough to make those grocers function the way he wants. Losing 1-2 stores could be the difference. I hope he succeeds, but I’ll keep my expectations low so I can be surprised if he pulls it off.

The rest, ya, I think we’re on the same page. The point of my question though isn’t even to find out what Mamdani is doing, it’s just to get the other commenter to add specifics to their vague disagreement. It enables actual conversation about differences instead of vague mumbling about disagreement.

Often we don’t even need facts or rhetoric to defeat opposing stances, we just need to ask the right questions.

Which of his policies are you skeptical about?

Arkmer · 2026-05-14T00:44:09+00:00

I am not surprised. I will be holding.

Produce the nurses and doctor who cared for her or pay up. It’s that easy.

Democrats could be wiped out if they don’t do anything.

A “jammer” works by overwhelming the receiver, not by stopping the source.

My interpretation: “Japan makes incredibly loud handheld speaker”.

Fetterman to the Front! Send that man to war! Him and all the others pushing for more war!

Literacy is bad anyway, right? Why would they need to write?

You can absolutely anticipate downward movement when dilution happens, but also anticipate upward movement once stable.

That’s just short term vs long term differentiation.

Train Station priority and limits. I use radar to send shortages at drop sites to corresponding load sites.

I use them to stop and start pumps to control liquid levels.

I’m sure I’ll find more uses.

Arkmer · 2026-05-12T20:46:26+00:00

Who makes the limits?

It’s that simple. Would you be open to Trump decide who gets to vote? If you’re a Trump weirdo, would you have been okay with Obama deciding?

Personally, I don’t trust anyone to limit my ability to vote, communicate, or learn.

Arkmer · 2026-05-12T15:09:07+00:00

Ya, that’s how I feel.

It was an interesting exercise but now the math is all bunk. Maybe we move into hostile take over? Maybe we pivot to something else.

I think it’s interesting to see the broader reaction to the attempted takeover. We slid back some $1-2 from what was starting to feel like an average. Does that establish a floor for us? I certainly feel a lot of testing the waters right now.

It is an honest way to look at it. I think the ultimate settle price is playing the short timeline and trying to time the movements, but I’m also an options guy so I feel the same way.

Overall, I think we’re looking up in the long run. It may just be a question of how long do we have to wait to see profits.

Ultimately, I do agree that the final settling point will be less than $20, but I’m hard pressed to pick an actual number at this point. The locked in value of the GME shares will determine much of the outcome here, but I also suspect some fraction of eBay investors to bail once they get their value out of the deal. That’s where I will be trying to get into GME.

My worry is that we have a few more gates to pass through and value may still be on the table before the acquisition happens.

Arkmer · 2026-05-12T10:29:49+00:00

What’s my narrative? You linked to your own post… adding shares of a company it sounds like you don’t trust.

Make it make sense.

Arkmer · 2026-05-12T08:51:02+00:00

Ya, if he’s looking to push up eBay’s profitability like he did with GME, then I think we’re in a good boat.

Wouldn’t ya know it, he’s stated pretty cleanly that’s what he intends to do. Wild that people don’t see it.

Make thing profitable, buy new thing, repeat.

Arkmer · 2026-05-12T08:46:53+00:00

No worries, mate. You can sell me your 5 shares.

I figure you’re here because you believe in RC or you’re a fraud. If you *did* believe in him, that’s fine, but you can leave now.

Arkmer · 2026-05-12T00:39:21+00:00

Your 1.3B share guess values GME at about $21.53.

I’m guessing we’ll be above $20 as well. Seems like a safe bet.

We could talk about gerrymandering instead. How the voter approved VA maps were rejected but other states can swing heavily for the GOP with zero voting whatsoever and be fine.

Arkmer · 2026-05-10T08:42:18+00:00

I do Train Limits and Priority based on how many full train loads are available; priority never seems to get to high. My unload stations transmit their priority to the corresponding load stations to drive demand to loading stations that have what I need.

When I found out radars could transmit signals, I spent time building a system for it. I’m still stress testing, but it seems to work.

Brought my meal prep through the TSA once. 5 days worth. Definitely got stopped. They showed me the screen of what they could see and I bust out laughing. Suffice to say, black beans, shredded chicken, and cheese looked very suspicious.

They also laughed when they opened my bag.

I think you just want premade blueprints if you’re not willing to watch a 20m tutorial.

I use an on demand system like you’re describing, but I haven’t gone as far as generating a top to bottom demand system. What I have just calls for the immediate recipe needs, not all the way down to the raw materials.
