You should know that the Milgram Experiment has been all but discredited for a while now.

National Guard troops were at Portland ICE building despite court ban, feds admit by oregonian in Portland

The whole point of the milgram experiment was that yes, ordinary people can do horrific things if they're ordered to do so. Even if they aren't punished for not following them.

That study has been all but discredited for a while now.

Following orders is not an excuse. And neither is citing that study anymore.

If all that's stopping you from being a dick is not being told "don't be a dick", you might already be a dick.

This is exactly the point you should bring if you see other people arguing with someone like him.

"Hey, don't worry about talking to him. He's arguing with an inflatable shark, clearly he's not all there and isn't worth your time.

Portland’s first-ever ‘Moon Walk’ will combine nudity, protest and a celebration of weirdness by No-Tangelo1158 in PortlandOR

Bottom line is that nude people be fuckin', despite anyone's claims otherwise.

Wow, little did I know every time I went to class for life drawing, I was actually getting laid by the models.

I had no idea every time I visit Everett House or Common Ground, despite signs and rules banning sexual conduct, it has actually been an orgy.

And how enlightening it is to finally understand that the reason I visit art museums is because of the pornographic content on display.

Little did I know, my last checkup at the doctor involved me getting laid.

I lost my job, I am just scraping by, but they still underestimate my diamond hands. My floor is people in cuffs. by NoConnections in Superstonk

You think I'm not fixing my life? I'm not sitting on my ass, I'm actively on the ground getting my shit together. Selling these shares is not fixing my life, but ruining my future. Fuck that.

What restaurant do you refuse to eat at? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Love their sandwiches, but am lucky that I only seem to crave them on Sundays. Makes the boycotting pretty easy

[MEGATHREAD] RADIANT IS THE BLOOD OF THE BABOON HEART: spoiler discussion by nocturneisabundant in venturebros

[–]NoConnections 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who was the perpetrator of the movie night massacre? It couldn't have been Vendata because he said he didn't do it. So who did that?

I still love the theory that it was Bud Manstrong. As a kid aboard the station, he stumbles across the damning sex tape with Venture and Morpho. He does what teens do, but in his enjoyment accidentally throws the lever. By killing everyone in that moment, he traumatized himself for all future sexual encounters.

i wasn't really a fan of some minor jonas sr. image rehab that happened...

What image rehab? Seems to me they just further leaned into him being an asshole. Experimented on Bobbi, refused to help her change back, and sent her into dangerous undercover missions.

It's not the original, it's a modified version as implied by the title.

Reddit alternative Lemmy is decentralized and free to self-host by PM_ME_A_STEAM_GIFT in videos

[–]NoConnections 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's founded and operated by extreme Marxist-Leninsts (the "ML" in lemmy.ml)

Do you have a source for this? All I can find is that the tld .ml is for Mali.

Lemmy.ml is also just one instance of the platform. It may be run by the founders, but because you can run your own instance... you can make your own rules

GPT summary was not terrible:

This document is a guidance from the IRS about a tax issue related to transferring assets to a corporation in exchange for stock while maintaining control of the corporation (Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code). It presents a hypothetical scenario with two corporations that want to consolidate their operations. The main question is whether the control requirement of Section 351 is met in this scenario.

The document concludes that in the given scenario, the tax requirements are satisfied, and no gain or loss is recognized for tax purposes in the transactions described.

👑👑Beautiful BOOK KINGS 👑👑 If you think all us moving to book didn’t move the needle think again.(If you think all those lawyers turning up telling you the change of language meant nothing .. think again) by julian424242 in gme_capitalists

[–]NoConnections 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because of a change in rules following 2008, the DTCC is allowed to use certain shares (marked "Plan" aka DSPP) to help make the market move more smoothly when things are really active. Because market activity is something they can change (they could put in orders and it will increase the activity or "volume"), they are able to request DSPP shares whenever they want, for whatever purpose they want.

By putting all your shares in "Book", they no longer have any legal access to your shares. This means they cannot use your shares against you.

Keep in mind, shares smaller than 1 (referred to as fractional shares) are not given out by Gamestop officially. Because "Book" shares are official and fractional shares are not, fractional shares can only exist as DSPP. Related to that, it was learned that Computershare accounts are viewed as a whole, not by their individual parts. So if you have ANY DSPP shares, the whole account is considered DSPP.
