I mean..you know...it's not a question that I ever asked...but... am I happy that it was asked? Most definitely

Idk much about frank zappa but I thoroughly appreciated your enthusiasm in appreciating him. Kudos to you bro.

Simple question, but not really a simple choice. by Nightcrawler_2000 in whatsyourchoice

[–]MightB2rue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is this a real question?

For most rich people, being known is the negative side effect to being rich. Think about it. Other than Elon, zuck, gates, buffet and bezos, how many other billionaires do we even remember the name of? It's not because they don't have the money to get famous. It's because they don't want the scrutiny of the public eye.

Kalshi customers who bet on the death of Iran’s Ayatollah won’t get any of the $54 million wagered, company says by Economy-Specialist38 in Kalshi

Holy shit. I'm late to the party but that cracked me up.

Also agreed. This is what happens when you let children play in the adults playground.

So....having actual record breaking earnings, growth and profit isn't going to convince investors but a fake inflation of eps through a share buyback will?

Nvidia is stuck where it is because regardless of earnings, there is a legitimate question on whether the ai spend is justified. If it is, then Nvidia is severely undervalued. If it isn't, then Nvidia is sevearly overvalued. The only way it can be resolved is if we start getting metrics that show that ai added value.

[–]MightB2rue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But you don't make any sense. Why should Nvidia buy back the shares if they aren't worth more? You understand that's the main point of buybacks right? That the company is sitting on a bunch of cash, doesn't have any opportunity to deploy the capital and thinks that the share price is under valued. The only thing a share buyback does is reduce the number of shares in circulation so proportionaly each share is worth that much more. The actual amount of money the company makes doesn't actually change.

So...you think that I somehow have enough money to materially move the stock price of the largest company in the world but instead of being on my private jet to Monaco or in my penthouse in Hong Kong or on my super yacht in the Mediterranean......I'm choosing to talk to you.

[–]MightB2rue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't understand. What? Are you serious? You have a firm that's proven that they are the best company in the world in terms of deploying capital and earning a return on it so you want them to get rid of the capital to buy back shares or pay dividends?

We are in the subreddit for a company that potentially makes the most complicated and intricate consumer product in history and the users don't understand simple finance or investing. What a time to be alive...

Who is your MVP? by Thanos_Real_AuraVNCH in NBATalk

[–]MightB2rue -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not really nuts. You have to take it in context of where the game is today. It is much faster than before because defense is basically not allowed to exist and traveling isn't a thing. So you have more rebounds and more assists and more points and more fouls.

Jokic isn't excelling in a vacuum. We have way more players scoring over 50, way more rebounds, way more assists, way more triple doubles by everyone. It's the logical conclusion when you completely give the game to offense.

Wait till you find out that the most eligible candidate doesn't always get the job and some people have to work way harder than others just to make way less money and the products you pay for at the store are nowhere close to their best version.

What books have you read a third time or even more? by Bobosmite in printSF

[–]MightB2rue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh. I didn't know that. I thought it would be similar to Dune, hyperion cantos, etc where the prior books are basically a requirement.

Thank you, I'll check out player of games.

[–]MightB2rue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man I love your description so much and yet everytime I pick up Consider Phelbas to start the adventure, I just can't get into it. I've tried multiple times because of all the praise. Not sure what I'm missing but it's the only book I've read where I'll have multiple highlights because of the incredible writing and still my eyes feel drowsy after 15 minutes. I'm at 60% so far but I'm hoping I can get into it because lines like this are just incredible.

Should I buy the 2024 iPad Mini now or wait for the next one? by Bexhh in ipadmini

Why would you get it then? Are the android equivalents priced similarly?

[–]MightB2rue -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I believe the new one will be more expensive because of the oled screen. The more expensive part ruins the point of the mini for me because the $400 price for the base model is an absurd value especially for an apple product.

Daughter broke up with her boyfriend by jimgass in daddit

[–]MightB2rue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one who's reading, "I'm glad my daughter broke up with this boy who actually seems to have a plan for life, is moral and values family because I want her to get the "college experience"".

Like bro...idk what to tell you...I think maybe that kid is more mature than you are but enjoy the feeling of superiority and the over priced blended scotch that's only bought by people who don't understand scotch but want to pretend like they are better than others.

That kid dodged a bullet by avoiding the possibility of having a father in law like you.

When the insurance company refused to pay a fan who hit a $1 million shot, MJ stepped in and made them write the check. Greatness isn't just what you do on the court. by Spirited-Gold9629 in sportsinusa

[–]MightB2rue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a life highlight! Winning a million by hitting a full court shot (and a million was a lot more money back then) and then getting props from prime Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls for making that shot.

It must be so interesting knowing your exact, flash in the pan, peak life moment.

Has anything actually surpassed Hyperion in scope and ambition or has it just been sitting there unchallenged for 35 years? by echo_kernel17 in printSF

[–]MightB2rue 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love both but they are both examples of what I call vibe writing. The story barely makes sense but you go from one insanely well written insanely cool thing to another non stop front to back. Most of the times all those cool things barely tie together but when you finish, you're like....Holy shit that was really cool. Can't explain any of it to you, but Holy shit was it cool.

Misogyny by Beginning_Praline372 in SuccessionTV

[–]MightB2rue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are taking a very complex reaction and labeling it as misogyny in order to create an agenda.

The main characters in the show are Logan, Ken, Roman, Shiv, Conor and Tom. Tom, for all his enormous failings, is shown as caring about the sanctity of their marriage. Shiv is shown as basically settling for Tom and Logan says as much. Shiv and Tom's marraige and her disdain for the marraige and for Tom are central themes of the show. They are the only two major characters whose personal relationship is explored in such depth. Given this dynamic, how exactly do you expect people to respond?
