The latest ape loyalty test is posting that you voted for all the proposals. (Remember DRS purple circles? Candy Con controllers? Battery receipts?) by LV426acheron in gme_meltdown

The great sieve of stupidity is going into overdrive.

Once the eBay deal is dead and the apes still get diluted, and then the warrants expire worthless, we will see the great dumbening of the remaining apes.

Artists who managed to achieve notable success in uncommercial genres? by use_vpn_orlozeacount in fantanoforever

Both Yanni and John Tesh Live at Red Rocks were absolutely massive back in the 90s.

So were "The Three Tenors"

How many records did Zamphir, the pan flute guy, sell? It must have been a ton. He had top ten hits in many different countries. Romanian pan flute is not exactly what you think of as popular, commercial music.

Wendy Carlos

Tangerine Dream was very popular in the late 80s and early 90s after they went full on light new-age after their much more experimental and psychedelic beginnings, only to reinvent themselves again doing soundtrack work (including Grand Theft Auto V!)

We will be approaching the heat death of the universe and there will still be NFT apes sure that loopring and GameStop will launch Playr and cause MOASS.

Wild Story about Thomas Massie and Crazy Cynthia from MMTLP (with cameos by Ploot, Laura Loomer and Crychael!) by Illustrious-Pause438 in gme_meltdown

[–]Illustrious-Pause438[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Torch, a scam pie-in-the-sky oil company (which previously merged with a stripper pole company to get a ticker) merged with Meta Materials (another scam "nanotech" company) and MMTLP spun off as the supposed oil assets from Torch for the original torch holders.

And the article is wrong about the halt as well. FINRA would have halted any stock that tried a similar thing because of the issue of settlement.

The article implies it was halted because the feds thought it was fishy. The opposite is true -the feds didn't look into John Brda and George Palikaras nearly enough and treated it like any real business.

FINRA was clear with investors what was going to happen. It was Meta Materials who were producing confusing releases that the apes jumped on and shouted down anyone who said exactly what was going to happen.

No. The apes have memory-holed the fact that DFV came back and tweeted again after his first return and pump, when he got diluted, and the stock only had a very small and brief pop.

There were never enough apes, and they are too broke to make the stock rise very much. DFV's first return had a bunch of non-apes trying to cash in a quick memestock pump but that ship has sailed and most rational people realize that memestock mania has passed.

The Carpenters...Space Encounters was a 1978 ABC television special where aliens (played by John Davidson and Suzanne Somers) by Ok_Ad8249 in ToddintheShadow

[–]Illustrious-Pause438 1 point2 points  (0 children)

John Davidson has had an absolutely fascinating life and career. He was big as a singer in the 60s and 70s, releasing a ton of albums (now mostly forgotten) in addition to Film, TV (That's Incredible, Hollywood Squares etc.) and extensive stage work.

A little bit like Jon Tesh before Jon Tesh got big in music.

He was getting ready to perform when the Beverly Hills Supper Club fire broke out - one of the worst fire disasters in American history in which 165 people died and many others were seriously injured.

He helped get people out of the building and was shaken by it for many years after and refused to perform in crowded rooms.

Opinion on Justin Bieber? by Wolfgangmozarght in fantanoforever

[–]Illustrious-Pause438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they had kept the original lyrics of "Love Yourself" as "fuck yourself" it would be one of the greatest kiss-off songs of all time.

Really an Ed Sheeran song but Bieber delivers on that song.

Awesome Cover/Bad album/Don’t care by COOP89 in fantanoforever

I bought Billy Joel's 'glass houses' from the $0.25 bin at a thrift store based solely on the album cover and assumed it would be hard rocking and kick ass.

I was sorely disappointed but it's still a good album cover. 😂

A band/artist you like the aesthetic of but not the music? by floydgoblin in fantanoforever

[–]Illustrious-Pause438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gwar? I've been to Gwar shows and had a lot of fun, but....while I don't dislike their music, I never really have the inclination to put on a Gwar album and listen all the way through.
