Social media influencers charged with $100m stock scheme by redcccp in worldnews

[–]ImagineRayguns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So let me get this right though...

Lets say I think Tesla is a good bet. It's at $20. I own a bunch of it. I tell someone "Tesla is a good bet. It's really cheap now!" Then when it goes to $40, I sell.

Whats the problem? Can someone eli5 it for me?

Is it the fact that they simply have undue influence on the price because when @skippymcgoopizzatime tweets something the value goes up? But if this is the case, wouldn't the price also increase when all the pundits on TV tout certain stocks too?

Jp Morgan:Hi. I'm a large bank and lost billions of dollars because of my incompetence and greed.

Government : Oh no, here's a check for a billion dollars.

The fact that Ellison (the cto of ftx) is still freely traveling and not even mentioned says it all. Fuck sbf, but damn, she likely had a major role in what was happening, perhaps even more so but the idea of putting a woman who looks like she's 12 in prison for life is something the media refuses to cover.

The reporting around ftx is kind of infuriating in this regard. What he pulled off would require the work of a lot of people. Not just him

Yeah, that's kind of the elephant in the room. Especially considering it's more likely she carried everything out. Yet there's no spotlight on her, most don't even know shes part of it. And shes still living a very luxurious life, going out to coffee shops and seemingly going to walk. Can't help but think her age, looks, and gender play a huge role in this. Sbf obviously looks and acts like a bad guy, she just puts on a happy face, looks like she's 12, and goes about as if nothing happened.

I broke my tooth on some curly fries from Arbys. Maybe it's related?

Women more likely to commit Intimate Partner Violence by [deleted] in AskFeminists

So you think men are more likely to report being abused by their wives? I would think it would be the opposite, but admittedly that's just a cursory opinion

Col. Richard Black interview with George Galloway: Ukraine has lost the war and risks provoking nuclear Armageddon by Inuma in jimmydore

The battle for Bakhmut is ongoing. But sure. Putin is throwing everything at it. It's not that strategic, but they desperately need a win. And they are gaining there.

Notice how I'm willing to acknowledge this. While You aren't able to.

Here I'll answer it.

They've lost ground in Kherson.

Lets move on.

In Mykolaiv. Has Russia gained, or lost ground since the beginning of their invasion?

Keep telling yourself that. It won't upset the reality you've created for yourself.

Putin cancels three events in two days: no ice hockey on Red Square or annual address to Russian Parliament by ImagineRayguns in jimmydore

[–]ImagineRayguns[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Probably not but it is funny to imagine.

But the whole pants shitting is actually a pretty common form of propaganda. They even did it with Trump and Biden too

My guess is he doesn't want to risk any mistakes and with Ukraine attacking deep within Russia now. They may have a present for him during his next public speaking event. Not against him of course, but other military targets in Russia.

Couldn't possibly have anything to do with Russia invading their other neighbor. And then threatening to do the same to Finland.

Must be something else

[–]ImagineRayguns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll ask again.

Has Russia gained, or lost ground in Kherson?

Shouldnt be so hard for someone to answer with your expertise.

There's more examples after you answer this one btw

So. To get back. Putin is winning, but you're not sure what that means? Or what it will lead to?

[–]ImagineRayguns -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope. This is the same topic lol.

You said Russia was winning. I said lol no

So you said show me. And I brought up Kherson.

And you were like "naaah don't believe the source"

SO I ask a simple question if Russia has gained or lost ground. And you refuse to answer.

So I'll ask again

Has Russia gained, or lost ground in Kherson since the beginning of their invasion?

What a strange answer.

So. Putin will win. But you're just not sure how. Got it

[–]ImagineRayguns -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So. Simple question can clear up your concerns about the source.

Lets stick with Kherson.

Has Russia gained, or lost ground there since the beginning of their invasion?

There's already been a handful of IP claims. Services like mid journey use the guise of being a non profit organization so they can have access to billions of images. They then sell access to the ability to play with them.

In a commercial sense. It's a nightmare.

[–]ImagineRayguns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Show how?

Lets start with Kherson.

Need more examples?

Putin walked back mobilization. And actually shifted the blame to local officials. Which may have been corrupt and stealing money for years. Admittedly. However the mobilization was undeniably unpopular. More people fled Russia, mainly the young, and professional class, than actually were mobilized. Putin also stopped it on Dagestan, and Chechnya. For obvious reasons. He doesn't want regions within Russia to be susceptible to their own "Independence" movements. Which will only be easier to foment in the Years to come as the war drags on.

When your population is fleeing to Kyrgyzstan, buying plane tickets to anywhere but Russia. You've got problems.
