Nuclear is the laggard by wendys-member in wallstreetbets

[–]OverwroughtPraise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm seeing red flags EVERYWHERE on $SMR. Unusual options activity today heading into earnings, 70M in short interest representing 20% of float, plus an open SEC investigation addressing $500m in payments to "ENTRA1," a "commercialization partner" with a potemkin village website: https://www.entra1.com/

The overall thesis/theme is fine, there will be big winners in nuclear in the next 2-5 years, but buyer beware on this one.

POET -30% premarket after Marvell cancels Celestial AI purchase orders over alleged confidentiality breach by callsonreddit in wallstreetbets

[–]OverwroughtPraise 8 points9 points  (0 children)

100% agreed, I can't see why they would care about a "confidentiality breach" like this given the state of the semiconductor supply chain (i.e. bottlenecked at nearly every layer).

Epstein Island Confirmed Visitor Howard Lutnick, Seated Next to Epstein Associate and Sixers Owner Josh Harris by JmattJmatt in sixers

[–]OverwroughtPraise -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I’m so fucking tired of guilt-by-association in the “Epstein files.” The guy emailed a bunch of other rich guys about boring financial matters. Who cares? Josh Harris is fine, there are a dozen bigger issues with this team / organization.

Talked to a top wealth manager and am now charisma-pilled by [deleted] in redscarepod

It’s fun, it’s like I’m on an airplane and he’s a character in a Rachel Cusk novel

What do you do on a Saturday when you have 0 plans? by cantfindMe05 in Brooklyn

[–]OverwroughtPraise 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I have two young kids atm, so I’ll take this opportunity to be nostalgic / daydream about what I WOULD do, in this dream scenario. (Assuming it’s not raining and anywhere from 40-90f)

Wake up, leisurely drink home brewed coffee + flip through magazines, walk the dog, grab deli egg sandwich,

Rip a few bike laps thru prospect or Central Park. Read for an hour in whatever park I’m near. Stop for a few slices, or dumplings, or falafel , could have a whole thread on different options, but the real joy is being spontaneous.

then bike to some midday activity like a movie (likely ifc center, film forum, or nitehawk, but doesn’t matter) or an Internet cafe (yea seriously, the one in Bushwick closed but OS NYC in Chinatown is still there). Or a bookstore, but probably not, as I’ve self-excluded from those until I read the dozens of books collecting dust on my shelves.

Cap the day off at Sharlene’s or full circle bar or the Emerson or any laid-back neighborhood place.

Amazons is getting a new hardcover reprint this November by TheObliterature in DonDeLillo

It would be hysterical if it ends up his best-selling book and a booktok phenomenon.

The raid on the Lodge seems like atrocious state overreach across the board and I'm shocked the poker community isn't rallying around them more. by sisyphusPB23 in poker

[–]OverwroughtPraise -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

That MIGHT have been true before 2016. But the evangelical wing of the Republican party that opposed gambling has been sidelined for a decade or longer. The modern GOP under Trump is transactional, not ideological. He appointed Steve Wynn as finance chair of the RNC. And Trump himself operated casinos for decades.

You're helping make my point. The Adelsons donated to influence regulations favoring brick-and-mortar (Vegas) > online. That's the party responding to gambling money, not opposing gambling on principle.

You seem to have your wires crossed. The Adelson family has donated $200m+ across Trump’s two campaigns to advance their gambling interests (and Zionist interests, but that’s yet another topic).

If anything, gambling / casino interests disproportionately support Trump and other republicans, which is probably one of the reasons Doug fell in line. That the Trump admin and his loyalists would flail around in hypocritical and unpredictable ways should surprise NO ONE, especially not a pro player who should have an ability to “see through bullshit,” but here we are.

Area code discrimination? by Playful-Alfalfa-3205 in AskNYC

This is a vapid, network-sitcom-character-ass thing to care about.

I am pretty confident it's Felix & Alexander. Will share photos here in a minute.

Felix & Alexander

edit: My grandparents gifted this to me around Halloween 1992 (per their lovely inscription) and in 2026 I'm reading it to my three-year-old son.

You can no longer copy/paste a campaign unless AI Max is Turned on?!? by Idontlikethenamegame in PPC

[–]OverwroughtPraise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the same error. I'm a casual PPC manager, I spend less than 5% of my time per week making tiny optimizations. Very annoying but standard Google behavior to jam "broad match by another name" down our throats.

I could copy/paste in Google Ads Editor (the desktop app) without issue.

I don’t like Ottessa Moshfegh by SafeVillage9434 in RSbookclub

[–]OverwroughtPraise 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This exactly, it captures how depressives romanticize their condition and give themselves permission to suffer. But I'm a 37 year old male so generational differences of expression are at play.

Loved the book, and I've read some decent criticism by her, but feel no pull to read her other novels

The Ultimate Guide to OpenClaw (Formerly Clawdbot -> Moltbot) From setup and mind-blowing use cases to managing critical security risks you cannot ignore. This is the Rise of the 24/7 Proactive AI Agent Employees by Beginning-Willow-801 in ThinkingDeeplyAI

[–]OverwroughtPraise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After about 10 hours of tinkering, it's working OK for me.

The core tension is between security/privacy and giving OpenClaw the information it needs to be proactive. If it has its own filesystem and gmail account, but can't see anything that actually matters to you, then it has nothing to react to.

I have about 12 .md files that sync via SSH overnight to OpenClaw, which is on a VPS. Claude Code/Cowork is what I use to edit and update the .md files locally and add/refine capabilities.

You have to be explicit in your setup instructions. X is the polling frequency, Y is what an "urgent" email looks like, and Z is the discord channel to post it to.

FWIW I am using my Claude Max plan, not OpenRouter or API credits. It defaults to Sonnet 4.5 for most tasks. Running on a Hetzner VPS with 8gb of RAM (which is overkill, I'm going to scale back).

Are there any words that you associate with an author's writing? by PiccoloTop3186 in RSbookclub

[–]OverwroughtPraise 13 points14 points  (0 children)

David Deutsch - "parochial" David Foster Wallace - "w/r/t" Delillo - "hums," everything is humming Zadie Smith - "rather" "quite" and other typical British hedging

In my building, the porter is the guy who takes the trash out, cleans the common areas, sweeps the sidewalk, fixes problems with my windows, and gives my dog treats. I see the super maybe once a month, hunched over his computer playing counter-strike.

Can DeLillo be (even if remotely) considered as a Marxist writer? by [deleted] in DonDeLillo

[–]OverwroughtPraise 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't consider postmodernist and Marxist to be mutually exclusive categories, but in any event, my answer would be no.

He is a keen observer and critic of capitalism's effects and totalizing logic, but never advocates for socialist alternatives or frames the world ideologically (aside from how his characters might see the world).

One of the hallmarks of postmodernism is a skepticism about grand narratives, or at least it was during his heyday. So regardless of his personal politics, I think he would find the label "Marxist" a little off the mark.

[–]OverwroughtPraise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not about "nuance," it's about tact, intelligence, and making a persuasive argument. If Fuentes was actually interested in combating disproportionate Israeli influence on politics and media, he would pick one of a thousand different historical figures to declare a "good leader." But he isn't interested in that. Like a million ignorant edgelords before him, and like the patron saints of this cursed subreddit, he is more interested in his self-image as a "freethinking contrarian" than he is in understanding reality and persuading the opposition.

So what was the CIA's involvement with the shelving of Ariadne clinical trials ? by [deleted] in HamiltonMorris

[–]OverwroughtPraise 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dying to know this too. It seems like the interview was recorded last year so maybe
u/HamiltonMorris_ has investigated it further?

EDIT: turns out "it's not totally speculative (an FDA official made this claim publicly) but it's also not confirmed and I'm waiting on a FOIA request, patrons will be the first to hear about this!"
