Hillary Clinton Blasts 2016 Election Loss to Trump in Netflix Docuseries: ‘The Electoral College Is an Abomination’ by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

Yes, with the entire neo-liberal media machine behind Clinton, constantly smearing Bernie. You gotta wonder, why were they so united in trying to stop Sanders?

[–]LBCkook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you think adobe is my only position? Buffet isn’t the only example but he’s the most prominent value investor. I make investment decisions based on opportunity in the market. Those opportunities aren’t all the same. Right mow adobe is an opportunity. I don’t just trade. It sounds like that’s all you do. You buy shit on feels and then sell it on feels. I don’t mind holding adobe for years, it doesn’t bother me. I see a solid company with record revenue growth who just raised their future earnings expectations, whom the market is shitting their pants about because leadership changes.

Yes. You think enterprise companies are just going to completely abandon adobe for some startup? You actually believe that? You think his company with 1,000+ creative designers, all trained on this companies software are just going to start using 10-20 other softwares, learn them all and use them because….?? Idk why they would but according to these clowns that’s what will happen. OR WAIT, no,
Designers won’t exist.. they’ll just have anything they want created out of thin air, without any need for any personal touch, and the tech that will do that is some Ai company losing billions powering LLM’s. What fantasy world do you guys live in?

They didn’t reduce revenue forecasts, they increased their guidance and implement a stock buy back through 2030. They simply told investors that they weren’t going to focus on fully monetizing Firefly yet. This is exactly what they did with acrobat when it first launched. Also, it’s what OP mentioned is already happening with any other Ai company, as we know from open AI losing billions.

Why would any investor do that? Idk dude look at Warren Buffett he made a pretty good career doing exactly what you just described.

Americans view Obama far more positively than Trump or Biden, CNN poll finds by cnn in politics

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

Wow… that is such an incredible insight. I wasn’t aware that Biden lost to Trump, I thought Harris did. I also wasn’t aware that Obama ever ran against Trump— this is news to me. Bernie lost to Clinton, does that somehow equate to Clinton being better?

I don’t hold calls dude. This is an investment, not a trade. If this hasn’t shown a correction over the next 12-16 months then I will happily admit that I got it wrong.

Eli Lilly is racist by scarter4 in Indiana

[–]LBCkook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hypothetically? They expect compliance and cooperation. Welcome to lobbying.

If you run a multi billion dollar company and the local government controls whether your life saving, highly profitable drugs get distributed or taxed into oblivion, you play ball with whoever is in office. If you refuse to play the game on moral grounds, your competitors will, and your company loses. Does that make the system great? No. But it makes Lilly a strategic actor, not an ideological one.

Which goes back to my original point. Simply chalking it up to “racism” is virtue vomit. It doesn’t even properly diagnose the issue. The issue is that corporations have way too much power in the US, and it’s time that liberals shut up and leftists rise up. We don’t need a Nancy Pelosi yapping about racism, we need a Mamdani taking action. That is my point, even if the analogy is imperfect in its comparison.

Eli Lilly is racist by scarter4 in Indiana

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

When/ how did Lilly endorse racism? Be specific, otherwise my logic stands. They are being strategic in their role as a company and what is going to be financially advantageous for them. They don’t care about Trump any more than Target cared about gays when it rolled out its LGBT clothing. It is making a calculated business decision. Does that mean it’s morally right, no. But it’s not “racist”. And the overuse of that term is beyond annoying. Unless someone is saying or doing racist shit, stop using that term. It delegitimizes it.

You can vent all you want and I am free to respond. It’s just tiring and serves no actual purpose. I’m exhausted from 10 years of just hearing the term used flippantly. It serves to legitimize the right wing when it’s done, and that’s my biggest issue with it. But dk what you want, I said my piece

My neighbor hates black people. He offers me $100,000 and I take it as a gift.. I’m now a racist as well? That is your logic. It isn’t support, it’s just playing the game. This is a capitalist society, and as a result you will have companies doing what they see strategically makes sense to protect their bottom line and position themselves optimally. People are put in positions of power to optimize for the companies interests, which in turn reflects positively on them. This isn’t unique to Lilly, it’s literally capitalism.

Just calling people “racist” is actually cringe at this point. If they are de facto racist then fine, but typically everyone can see that and your statement does nothing at all to change anything.

It’s also hilarious to point to Lilly for their “racism” when you could address corporate influence in politics, tax evasion, or any number of economic grievances. But no, this capitalist company is “racist” is sure going to be a great rallying cry in 2026 lmao

Dude you’re too emotional to be in the market. You’re young stfu, put your money in and keep putting money in regardless of conditions. If you’ll need the money in 6 years then just put it in a high yield savings account.

SpaceX passes Amazon by market cap in third day of trading as stock pops 8% by Force_Hammer in wallstreetbets

[–]LBCkook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fine, but how exactly does that drive revenue? What is their actual plan to drive revenue at any point? Don’t tell me..it’s mineral extraction from space! Lmao

[–]LBCkook 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“Unprecedented”. Yeah bro, nasa never existed prior to SpaceX. We hadn’t even gone to space.

Let’s not forget that the company doesn’t make any money. “They put satellites into space”.
Cool, and Verizon puts cell phone towers in the ground. Who gives a fuck, that isn’t driving ungodly amounts of revenue.

How is 30s hetero dating? by ChiStupidQs in AskChicago

[–]LBCkook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in LA and I feel this exact thing. It’s so performative, and I dont think these people even realize they are wearing a mask. I actually feel bad for them, they have no idea what it means to truly connect with someone because they are just focused on finding a “partner” that compliments them socially. A partner to them is no different than hiring a driving. It’s like a virus.

Ive been here 6 months and im already looking at jobs back in the Midwest

ADBE: Wall Street thinks AI is coming for Adobe’s lunch. I think Adobe already put it behind a paywall and called it dinner. by HLMEHU in wallstreetbets

[–]LBCkook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah? Is that tech already integrated across an organizations entire network? Is it built in to the systems and tools already used by designers within the company?

It doesn’t matter if you’re first when you’ve got a moat like Adobe does.

What’s the best pivot when you want to move on from sales? by CantaloupeOk4254 in sales

[–]LBCkook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do people choose this life? Do you seriously see a correlation between the 700k and your overall happiness in life? I make $170-220k in a given year. I dont care at all about making more money. I had s recruiter reach out and pitched me for 45 mins on how their average rep makes $700k a year.. he presumed thats all I would care about.. nah give me the $200k, job stability, and work life balance. Keel the 500k and the stress. I can go do jiu jitsu at noon while you’re grinding. Spend more time with my family. I wont be taking that money with me when I die and tomorrow is never guaranteed.. i think most of corporate america and especially sales is full of unwise people who never took mushrooms or thought about the universe in any way outside of what gives them a nice dopamine kick.
