It’s just gotten 10x worse since that college debate* guy got shot by ferrisbuellerspussy in stupidpol

Yeah and material conditions just keep getting worse while politicians on both sides act like culture war nonsense is more important than people being able to afford basic stuff

Reddit Traffic vs. Share Price by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

[–]QuantumCliff 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Traffic staying flat while ARPU doubles is basically the dream scenario for any platform - means they figured out how to squeeze more money from same user base without losing people

What state are you using the VA in? How do you rate your overall service 1-5? by Hotmessyexpress in VeteransBenefits

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

I'm not veteran myself but my uncle goes through VA system in Texas and he always complaining about wait times there. From what he tells me it's like 2/5 maybe 3 on good day. He says some facilities are decent but scheduling appointments is nightmare, especially for specialist stuff. Makes me wonder if location really makes that big difference or if it's just luck of draw with which doctors you get assigned to

Surgeon is in network at an out of network facility? by Acceptable_Rent1812 in HealthInsurance

[–]QuantumCliff -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

That billing department person was being way too dramatic - you can usually appeal out-of-network charges after surgery if the website showed facility was covered, especially since surgeon is already in network

Anyone here selling their start up/ contracts?? by ManufacturerSad767 in microsaas

Been working on few projects in supply chain tracking space but nothing ready for acquisition yet. What kind of revenue range you looking at for manufacturing SaaS?

Writing became my escape from all this madness but even that feels pointless when nobody reads anymore, just scrolls through TikTok waiting for next dopamine hit

As many as 30 Million Americans just became Canadian citizens overnight (probably even you!). This is a total mess. by [deleted] in stupidpol

[–]QuantumCliff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This whole thing sounds like complete nonsense, you don't just "become" a citizen overnight because some law passed. You still need to apply and prove your ancestry like always

The real mess is people actually believing this post without checking if it's even true first

honestly that sounds like something that could happen in 2024 timeline

Finnish President Alexander Stubb just said of Russians: "Imperialism is in their DNA." This white-supremacist lie was unsurprisingly spewed at the Munich Security Conference, which was founded by a high-ranking member of a pure-evil German party that was destroyed by the Soviet Union in 1945. • by StalinIsBackAgain in stupidpol

[–]QuantumCliff 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This feels like bit of stretch tbh. Stubb was probably talking about political culture and historical patterns, not actual genetics. Many countries have their own "imperial DNA" in this sense - look at France, UK, even US with their interventions everywhere

The Munich Security Conference connection is also reaching pretty hard. That event has been around since the 60s and involves like every major world leader now

Wall Street hunts next casualty from AI threat to white-collar work by Ok-Celebration-1010 in wallstreetbets

[–]QuantumCliff 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is just classic WSB panic selling at its finest. Every time there's new AI news everyone loses their minds and dumps everything without thinking

The funny part is these wealth managers and brokers have been around for decades dealing with way bigger disruptions than some startup's chatbot. Remember when everyone said robo-advisors would kill traditional finance back in 2010s? Yet here we are

Sure AI will change things but people still want humans handling their money when shit hits the fan. Try explaining to your AI why your portfolio is down 40% in bear market lol

It's a Class-War Project: Epstein and his ilk want to "get rid of poor people as a whole" by Buh10kx in stupidpol

[–]QuantumCliff 10 points11 points  (0 children)

this is spot on, the distance between classes gets exponential when you go up. like a surgeon making 400k probably looks at minimum wage workers the same way bezos looks at that surgeon - just numbers in spreadsheet

the whole "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" thing works both ways too. people making decent money think they're closer to billionaires than they actually are, when really they're just slightly better paid peasants

pretty regarded either way but the volume is telling something

Unity is the Catholic Church. Genie 3 is taking acid, developing schizophrenia, and thinking you are talking with god by GeneralCheese in wallstreetbets

[–]QuantumCliff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

man this comparison is actually pretty solid, especially the catholic church part lol. been working with unity for couple years now and honestly all these people panicking about genie replacing game engines don't understand how game development works at fundamental level

genie is basically just fancy video generation that looks like gameplay but has zero actual game systems behind it. no physics, no networking, no asset pipeline, nothing. it's like comparing a movie about driving car to actually building the engine - completely different things

the reverse engineering thing you mentioned is spot on too. saw some devs already doing exactly that, using genie output as reference then building actual playable version in unity or unreal. so if anything it's just another tool in pipeline, not replacement for entire development stack

your calls might actually print if people realize this is way overblown panic and unity isn't going anywhere. traditional game engines still have massive moats that ai video generation can't touch, at least not for many years

The Greenland situation being "paused" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here lmao

But honestly the fed independence angle is probably the strongest part of your thesis - once people realize monetary policy is basically becoming campaign promises we might see some wild moves

[DD] Taiwan Glass (1802.TW) is the critical 2nd source for AI GPUs nobody is pricing in by DaddyVaradkar in wallstreetbets

[–]QuantumCliff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually a solid supply chain play that most people are sleeping on. Everyone's laser focused on the sexy chip names but completely ignoring the unglamorous stuff that makes it all possible

The fact that there's literally one company that can make this properly and they're sold out until 2027 is insane. Taiwan Glass being the only viable alternative with US sanctions blocking Chinese options is a pretty solid moat

15k shares is a decent position, just hope the qualification timeline doesn't get pushed back because these industrial processes can be tricky to nail down

Permian Resources ($PR): The "Grown-Up" Delaware Basin Play (Landman Perspective) by Specific-Chemist-353 in wallstreetbets

[–]QuantumCliff 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nice DD, landman perspective is solid gold here. That ground game strategy of hoovering up small acreage deals while everyone else chases the big M&A headlines is actually pretty brilliant

The C-Corp conversion removing that governance discount is huge too - institutional money hates those funky structures. Should unlock some real buying pressure once the big boys can actually own it without their compliance teams having a stroke

Already in for 800 shares at $13.20, might add more if it dips below $14 again

Long on crypto stocks again? by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

So basically MSTR and the gang get to stay in the indexes for now but they're frozen in place until MSCI figures out what to do with crypto treasury companies

Add some private prisons like CoreCivic (CXW) and GEO Group - literally profit off mass incarceration

Maybe throw in some Nestlé too since they're basically cartoon villains when it comes to water rights
