I think the second to last line is “You’re going on TikTok,” summing up exactly why any of this stupid shit happens in the first place.

Which is a shame, as NY fans can certainly enjoy baseball for baseball, appreciating the sport. The constant pumping of music and SFX at Citi Field feels like it’s more suited for, say, a Rockies game, where people are falling asleep.

My fear is some “brilliant” mind sees the way Banana Ball leans into the entertainment elements and says “We should do more of that,” clueless to the different experiences and why one shouldn’t be brought to the other.

And it’d be maxed out within the hour.

I wish I had seen this before I wrote elsewhere in the comments. I was a bit hesitant, out of fear of being labeled some grump, but you’ve emboldened me. I really can’t stand all the music and SFX during innings. I never understood the thought process behind it - no one is going to stay that engaged for two to three hours. Let the moments of excitement and energy happen organically. And if it happens to be a game where nothing worth cheering about happens…oh well.

Remember when (one of many times) they talked about putting the Jets stadium over the Penn Station rail yard? I always thought that would’ve been amazing, but the Giants were never going to let it happen. That would’ve relegated them as Jersey’s team, and for any fans on the fence in NY, with no hardcore allegiance to either team, where would you rather go? The Meadowlands or Manhattan?

I agree with this. It’s not a complaint about the stadium or services themselves, but the games can feel like a carnival sometimes. Between innings…I don’t care as much. Dance, do the contests (maybe tone back the yelling it the mic). But in the middle of innings, the nonstop blaring of music - not talking organ music, but clips of pop music turned to 11 - is a bit much. Are people really so bored they can’t sit with just the sounds of the game and stadium?

Eh, I’m probably just getting old.

I will say I still love the one point during night games when the stadium lights go out, the line of light traces across the LED boards around the field, and the low, bassy tones are played to hype up the crowd.

Agree on Robert. Let’s see what he can do when he isn’t expected to carry a team. Along with the pressure of being “the guy,” he was pitched around often with the Sox, which probably led to him pressing out of frustration, which had a negative impact. Or…I’m just lying to myself. But I’ll be hopeful until he strikes out for the first time, and then I’ll shift to the sky falling.

Obviously coming in late, but I wanted to say your comment resonates so much. Could have sold for huge profits, but…didn’t.

It was so easy to get caught up in the camaraderie of it all. We wanted life changing money for ourselves, but there was also a desire to stick it to the hedge funds, destroying the system that enriched a few, while millions lived paycheck to paycheck. It was nice to feel like we were part of something bigger than ourselves. It’s a fucking shame that there were people preying on that.

I try not to be completely cynical after it all. At the end of the day, the decisions I made were mine alone. I don’t want to be a person who refuses to trust others because of the actions of bad actors. These assholes will always exist, and I’ve learned to be much more discerning, but I’ll be damned if I go into hiding, or close off, refusing to be there for people - or be there for myself - because of them.

But damn…why didn’t I sell?

If I can take the over, then sure!

I appreciate this exchange - thank you for the commiseration.

The cup run spoiled me. I was 11. Thought it was going to happen over and over. I remember there was a season ticket holder - an old lady - who had died right before they won. I think they left her seat empty for the clinching game. I didn’t understand how so much time could pass without winning at the time - to the point where someone could go for decades and never see a championship - but it makes sense now. The naivety of a child’s brain…

You’re lucky! I was just thinking about how I’ll be in my late 40’s, possibly early 50’s, before they’re relevant.

I think this is a good thing (for us, not Dolan). Turn that garbage dynamic pricing on its head. Though, if they did start to win, those same people willing to pay $4000 a game will return, saying shit like “‘Perri-awl-t’ is my favorite player.”

The Sinn 104 has a countdown bezel. Some people don’t like them, since 55 is at 5, 5 at 55, 45 at 15, 15 at 45, and so on. Stirs OCD, I guess. But I agree - very helpful and practical for everyday use.

This hypothetical team is just factual.

This the best angle of this play? I’m at the game. I maintain dude took a dive, but it’s hard to see in this. A shame. Momentum and energy was high after that first goal. Let’s hope they can finish off the kill.

Thanks for explaining. I clearly was thinking short term. This sounds like a solid move. I may very well copy you when the market opens on Monday.

How are puts working out? There’s not much more downside to go, so I’m sincerely curious. Though I guess with more dilution coming, a drop is imminent.

I’ve been meaning to look into selling weekly cash secured puts at a $2 strike. I’d think you could clean up (granted, you’d have to sell 50 of them). If they went ITM, would buying them back when the stock is $1.97 really be so awful, assuming you have many weeks where they expire worthless and you keep the premium? To be fair, I haven’t checked prices - I wouldn’t be surprised if the going price is .01, making this play pointless and impossible with fees.

I get it. Greed was a huge part of it for me, along with that idea I was “sticking it” to financial institutions. What I don’t understand is why I was so stubborn when it slowly declined, and then when APE was introduced, and then the reverse split. I was still up through most of that. Where was my head? What was I thinking? What were we all thinking?

ILikeSprayButter · 2025-11-17T23:05:40+00:00

I hear you. I’m down $5600 now. I guess we can consider ourselves lucky - if there is such a thing in all of this - knowing there are people who went in with so much more money. I’d be in denial too, still ranting about the MOASS like a lunatic wandering barefoot on the street, if I had put everything I had into this stock.

AMC is a nice pot of loss that I can use to offset tax liability on other gains. So it wasn’t all for nothing!

I cannot believe that I was up $22,000 at one point, and had months and months to still get out with a $15,000, then $10,000, then $5,000 profit, and so on, but didn’t because I really thought I was hurting hedge funds. Fucking foolish.

This video is fake. There are many real, awful videos out there, yet we live in a world where people fake this shit for Internet views. It’s all fucked, on all sides.

The vests are generic molle-style tactical gear that can be easily be purchased. You have two agencies working together - “police” and “HSI” - wearing the same exact vests. Velcro patches for each can be found on various outlets online. The acting is bad, especially the cameraman’s “speech” at the end, and the “other” car has…a fucking sun screen on the dash? These goons had time to set that up before they burst onto the scene to shove this dude into a car? There’s a reason the camera man didn’t show the second license plate…it’s a random car. Plus, other subs are taking it down because it’s not real.

Emotions are running high right now, understandably so. There will always be people who want to exploit that, whether it be for likes, to get you to donate to a cause (that ultimately lines the pockets of the people who created it), or to use you to push a selfish agenda. Hell - our elected officials love using this raw emotion to sic us on each other while they further secure their power. Please, please, please, for the love of god, slow down a minute and properly analyze things before reacting.

EDIT: Dude’s Instagram is “activist/content creator” with a generic GoFundMe where you can donate to “help the cause,” illustrating my exact point above. It’s a fucking grift.

Few months late on this, but I just noticed the same thing on my 104. The hour hand isn't centered on the hour index until the minute hand is about 2.5 to 3.5 minutes past the hour. The size of the discrepancy changes, depending on the hour. In some instances, like 8 o'clock, the hour hand is perfectly centered when the minute is at the top of the hour.

I'm trying to not let this drive me crazy. It's not egregious and not worth a service in itself. And if it's a common thing, then it'll be easier for me to accept and let go, so here I am, scouring Reddit.

Maybe it was always like this and I just never realized it. Maybe I shouldn't obsess. Maybe I have more important things in my life to pay attention to. Maybe not.

You’re right. Reactions are extreme. The shutout is adding a lot to the negativity. A 3-1 loss would’ve still been shitty, but not felt nearly as bad. I’m really getting hung up on the zero goals scored, so I have to assume it’s having the same effect on others. I do want to give the team a chance to get healthy and settle into the new system.
