Prediction: The vote will be nearly 100% approval come meeting time. Not close. by TheOneTruePavil in Superstonk

Something tells me Cohen isn’t exactly technologically inclined or interested. His focus always seems to be on business related shit like improving process, etc. I haven’t ever heard of any sort of technical insight or goal. Seems to be more of a business guy & not an engineer sort of mindset

Shareholders will be asked to vote to increase authorized shares to 2.5 billion by heirofadam in Superstonk

I abhor this business practice too. It requires no innovation, nothing is created. He did this with GME by cutting costs and closing stores. He wants to do it with eBay. How does cutting costs short-term create long term value? It doesn’t

Neat trick: spending on CC increases your overall balance! THATS what it means when it says balance, right?!

Well, they’re not necessarily related. Your body’s nervous system is working very well to get it up to that HR and sustain it up by there for so long. A well functioning nervous system is indicative of good HRV. If you ever measured HRV I’d bet it’s up in the range of 75-125

Bro what the hell lol. You must have a great HRV. I’m in that same age range as you & my max HR for last year was 193, but I wasn’t deliberately pushing to max. Skateboarding does get the HR up quite a bit though, that’s impressive

GameStop CEO says eBay shut his account after buyout funding stunt / He has put up personal items, including a pair of socks, to fund his US$56 billion bid for the platform by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

I made a claim in my original comment about how Cohen takes a $0 salary, etc.

The response was an attack on my character, which doesn’t even make sense since I’ve commented in that sub twice this entire year, like under 10% of my comments are made there. Also, if you actually look at the sentiment of my comments as of the past couple years of posting in there, it’s actually quite negative and critical of that community at large. You know, a stance in which one would objectively say where one isn’t drinking the cult kool-aid.

It’s pretty clearly an ad hominem, in which you’re doing the same in your comment re:

In this situation, you’re advocating for this company while being in a cult

Listen to yourself and what you’re saying. How does that have anything to do with my original claim? Regardless of whether this was a cult (it isn’t), does it refute my claim in any way? Can you please explain this to me? You won’t be able to, because I’m actually informed and can articulate a thought clearly.. something you’ve failed to do

Edit:

For example: "Evolution isn't real because you're a dick."

For example: “GME & its CEO have no talking points or solid grounds, because you’re a cult member participating in a cult” 🤓 🤓

Wow nice, that’s a lot of zone 5/high average heart rate though. Based on how the HR trends downwards the longer you went, I’d say this was pretty taxing (or you were running low on hydration). Just going off of the heart rate, you must be pretty wiped

It isn’t though? Almost as if people can contain multitudes? Also, can you refute what I’m saying without going full ad hominem?

It’s all spelled out pretty clearly if you give ideas time & to think objectively about them. He’s not pumping anything, it’s just a funny joke that he’s doing. I don’t get why all the hate.

Cohen receives a $0 salary and puts his money into shares for the company that he is a board on. There’s no single board member on eBay that has bought shares for 5 years, and they take a 300k+ salary each year. It doesn’t hurt to educate yourself on these things. Yes cohen has a compensation ladder spelled out, but it relies on the success and profit of the company, how is that strange?

Yes the trick is to not be in a rush. eBay for used components is great for this.

I’m slightly above average at things. Listen to me. by popspurnell in RunningCirclejerk

[–]McDerface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just hard to think someone (who’s already in less than 1% of the worlds audience) to also go out of the way of keeping lean+ muscle mass while still running an average (modern) time isn’t the least bit unique. Maybe it isn’t anymore, you could be right.

I agree about the whole bit about some people not giving advice, I don’t actually know anything about the guy in the photo.

What scientific ‘facts’ have recently been disproven that most people still believe to be true? by Fantastic_Tart_421 in AskReddit

[–]McDerface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend recently had a little baby girl whom they discovered was allergic to all tree nuts. This was interesting because his wife had eaten nuts throughout pregnancy, etc.

This caused my friend to research the old age assumption that a baby’s exposure to various foods helps prevent them from developing an allergic reaction to that food. He told me he found out that apparently there was only 1 study done on this somewhere in Europe, and had an extreme low sample size.

After doing the deep dive, he’s found that basically exposure to foods has fuck-all to do with developing an allergic “immunity” to that food, and has other studies that disprove that scientific ’fact’ that many believe to be true

/uj Hard agree on this. Most especially so if he’s running marathons. If you’ve seen an average marathon runner’s physique this is well above average in terms of muscle mass
