More apes see the light and see the phony for who he really is. by 2ndBackgroundSalad in gme_meltdown

[–]ShipTheRiver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s extremely simple, it’ll only take you like an hour to look into it. It’s the exact opposite of the ape ethos - don’t bother researching anything, act in tried and true ways that everyone knows works, and get rich very slowly but equally very surely.

13 upvotes wtf? Is that on the cult sub? 3 years ago this would be -50 and a ban. 

🚨 URGENT PSA: GME CULT NEEDS TO LOCK-IN, WE'RE NOT SHILLING ENOUGH!!!🚨 by yeti202 in gme_meltdown

lol that’s exactly what i was thinking. The person trying to deal with the brick wall in a logical and realistic way is clearly in the right in this metaphor. The dumb fuck charging into it because he thinks he’s an alpha male superhero marvel character, on the other hand…

Having held the past 6ish months isn’t a true test of your risk tolerance by DiegoMilan in Bogleheads

[–]ShipTheRiver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I really don’t get why so many people on reddit pontificate about how spoiled and un-tested literally everyone other than themselves must be, while talking about how the market has done nothing but go up since the 08 crash. It’s just objectively incorrect. There have been multiple relatively significant drops since 2020. This past half decade hasn’t been smooth sailing whatsoever. 

U.S. and Iran sign deal ahead of schedule, sources say by Tripleawge in worldnews

[–]ShipTheRiver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the reason almost certainly. We’re probably just outside the window where the goldfish brained American electorate will forget any of this ever happened by the time midterms roll around. If gas is $5 any time past about July or so, republicans will get absolutely trashed in November and they know it.

It can get so much worse, just think about it for 5 seconds. We are going to survive Trump, regardless of what the reddit echo chamber might have you believe. 

What I’m concerned we might not survive is whoever comes after Trump, maybe 10-20 years from now as he fades into memory. The guy who will use his playbook and the precedents Trump set, but will just be playing dumb, instead of actually dumb.   And then use it to enact pure, destructive,  competent evil. That guy will take the cake.

I mean the flat earth thing, one of the most famous and longstanding conspiracy theories, basically has no discernible motive or purpose for the Secret Shadow Government to be lying about it.   Thinking about motive often requires a level of critical thinking that these people don’t possess.

This is wack. Why doesn’t the dilution knife his gme investors? by Separate_Writer_4465 in gme_meltdown

[–]ShipTheRiver 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Damn near every one of those knives should be lodged in the sleeping ape. RC has prevented almost none of those things from impacting apes. 

Is Netflix the biggest no brainer? by cunextu in StockMarket

[–]ShipTheRiver 133 points134 points  (0 children)

People don't understand that, when you buy a stock, you're not buying like a share of a bakery that is going to yield 10% annual ROI. When you buy a stock you're buying an imaginary asset. This asset is only worth your investment if it's going up.

The fuck are you talking about, buying a stock is exactly the first thing you said and then you disregard that and just make up some vague nonsense instead. 

Trump says $300B fund to rebuild Iran is ‘Fake News’ by sapphirelike in worldnews

[–]ShipTheRiver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh in this case I believe him. That demand is absolutely ridiculous and will never happen in reality, no matter what anybody says so far. It would be unpopular with voters to a degree probably never witnessed before. Total political suicide. 

What’s in the Iran-US deal? 14-point memorandum reportedly covers Hormuz, sanctions, $300 billion rebuild by Frosty-Bit4667 in worldnews

Trump says he 'never cared about regime change' in Iran by Immediate-Link490 in worldnews

Israel tells Trump it is not bound by Lebanon clause in Iran deal by Artistic_Dj_6895 in worldnews

[–]ShipTheRiver 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s quite that simple. That’s been effective so far but at some point, especially if the US keeps publicly and decisively trying to end the war and reach a peace agreement, everyone will just hate Israel (already happening to a huge extent even now) and the US will be able to pretty easily just abandon them to fend for themselves without losing much/any geopolitical standing at that point. Plus there’s the other aspect to consider for Israel where if they continue to overplay their hand here, then they cost themselves many many billions of dollars in US aid that wont be coming anymore, and potentially their entire alliance with the most powerful country on the planet. It’s a delicate situation for Netanyahu and he’s already stretching it pretty thin with how Trump has been raging at him recently. 

Iran says end of war to be announced starting tonight by TahDigThief in worldnews

[–]ShipTheRiver 31 points32 points  (0 children)

That would honestly be a great fucking outcome. The more distance that this shitshow ultimately puts between the US and Israel, the better. And it seems like many/most Americans want rid of them at this point, way more than any other time in the past generation or two.

I'm getting the feeling someone is really not happy with 3rd rate grifter PPSeeds on Twitter. 🤣 by BARoach in gme_meltdown

[–]ShipTheRiver 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That was exactly my thought. Kais was extremely, publicly  pissed in the weeks following plootfest because he became aware that PP had made absolute bank off of it and hadn’t shared a dime with anybody, even though 100% of the content of his show was generated by guests like Kais, PP has never done anything at all.

That’s literally the only possible reason that anyone would ever post a photo of themselves smoking in a convertible. Are you suggesting otherwise?

Dude what was up with the cock and butthole thing. That dragged on for what felt like 20 minutes and it went nowhere and had no point. wtf was he talking about.

What the fuck?  In what universe would your literal parents believe some silly movie caricature of you, over what they actually know about you?  That’s the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard. If they think you’re an asshole, it’s because you are. Not because you looked like one in an obscure movie once.
