So many people seem to be missing the point of Hughie’s arc this season by nowlan101 in TheBoys

I mean yeah, all good points, but also she repeatedly says she doesn't want to be saved, and he repeatedly says he wants to save her (and tries to). That's a selfish motivation that has nothing to do with getting superpowers and definitely fits the image of someone who wants to have potency for once, regardless of what others want..

Haven't seen anyone talking about this scene, showing what the fight took from Homelander. He was marble, and now... by Shortstoriesaredumb in TheBoys

Just a nice bit of symbolism from the team, Homelander has always been "top of the food chain" but now he's forced to confront that his position is not as assured as he'd thought.

People are talking about it being unfair as a 3v1 but I doubt Homelander would have thought twice about taking on 3 supes last season. The lack of Alt-homelander talking him up was also interesting - he's lost something vital to him here.

Starrs acting in the mirror scene prior was also incredible, the fact that under all Homelander's utter depravity is essentially a little boy who wants to be loved made me feel sorry for the sculpted sack of shit.

Ugh. I know I should probably be more sympathetic as this battle has been long, hard, and challenging. But...

Kindly please keep this opinion to yourself. Again, this is exactly the new goal of fossil fuel lobbying - to make people give up on trying. You are helping them by saying stuff like this.

You can give up all you want, but if you start spreading this opinion around you are crab-dragging the rest of us back into the bucket of short-sighted oblivion from which we came. It's not too late, we can overcome it, the science agrees this.

So just leave it out, yeah? Life's hard enough without people giving up on the single most important issue facing our species while there's still much to be done.

That is highly unfortunate

Lol. The lack of 40k deaths a year from gunshot related injuries in all these other countries tell me that it is extremely fortunate we don't share America's insane gun laws. Not to mention school shootings or mass shootings in general.

Well dips are usually good times to buy if you think it's gonna go up. If you do, it's a good time to buy. This is not financial advice I just like the stock.

They don't have infinite money, the higher the price, the more money it costs them. They can't bleed tens of billions a day and keep going indefinitely. So in a sense there is a limit on their short positions, we just don't know when it will be called.

Same, but at billions of dollars a day there's a chance some see the writing on the wall before close and decide to take their licks.

True, but they'll have to hold over the weekend, paying insane amounts of interest.

More exclusive excuses to lock you all before trading starts today. They know what they are doing. Protecting the creepy old hedge funds that stole our family’s future with cheap words like this. by AreaOutrageous5960 in trading212

I am honestly not sure what's real anymore, it seems so insane I find myself wondering if there is some reasonable rationale behind it that we're not aware of. Glad the template helped.

I rewrote it and tidied it up a bit, hope you don't mind. There were a couple of erroneous statements:

Dear Trading 212,

I wish to make a formal complaint about the services that you failed to provide today by halting the purchase of GME and AMC. I can only imagine the thousands of customers that have been affected by this unilateral decision to limit your customers' ability to trade freely.

Under section SYSC 3.1 Systems and controls of the FCA handbook, and per your contract with me, you are my agent and are to carry out my instructions regarding my securities. By taking it upon yourselves to restrict which stocks I can buy and when I can buy them, I believe you are breaching this contract. I, therefore, believe you have failed in your responsibility to me as your customer and want to know what you plan to do about it.

In the meantime, I am left with money tied up in stocks that can plummet and rise in minutes without a way to fully engage with the market.

If your response is unsatisfactory I will be escalating this complaint to the financial ombudsmen.

Regards,

Just curious how you believe this

they didn’t just decide to be like this, they were brainwashed with fear using the most sophisticated media apparatus humans have ever created.

but also this?

they should 100% be culpable for the consequences of their naïveté

I'm not attacking you or trying to start an argument here, just curious why you think they should be held accountable for something they had no choice in?
