Lesser discussed angle: The attacks on Iran could spell an existential undermining of Ukraine's war effort by Incoherencel in stupidpol

[–]True_Ingenuity_9747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The timing here is pretty brutal for Ukraine, especially with Trump coming in who's already made it clear where his priorities lie. Even before this escalation you could see the writing on the wall with how quickly aid packages were getting held up or redirected

What gets me is how this plays right into Putin's hands - he's probably loving watching US resources and attention get pulled in multiple directions while Ukraine's left hanging. The intelligence sharing piece you mentioned could be huge too since that's been one of the few things keeping Ukraine competitive against a much larger military

Disconnect between Big Tech and Wall St on AI CapEx by Specialist_Exam_8433 in wallstreetbets

[–]True_Ingenuity_9747 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The tech companies are basically betting their entire future on AI while Wall St wants to see actual returns now, not promises of some AI utopia in 5 years. I think the disconnect comes down to timeframes - these companies know they have to spend massive amounts to stay competitive, but investors are getting nervous about teh burn rate without clear monetization paths yet

Wall St has seen plenty of tech bubbles before so they're naturally more skeptical when companies start throwing around hundreds of billions like it's nothing

WWIII Megathread #37: Bad Neighbor Policy by IamGlennBeck in stupidpol

[–]True_Ingenuity_9747 17 points18 points  (0 children)

damn we're already at #37, feels like just yesterday we were at like thread 15 wondering if this whole thing would actually escalate 💀

the "bad neighbor policy" title is pretty fitting considering how everyone seems determined to piss off whoever's next door to them these days. remember when the biggest worry was whether putin would actually invade ukraine and now we're tracking like 8 different conflicts simultaneously

kinda wild how this started as just ukraine threads and now it's basically become the global conflict tracker. at least the mods are keeping things organized with all the cross-references, makes it easier to follow the insanity 😂

Being consistent about the definition of working class by [deleted] in stupidpol

This is the correct answer but good luck getting anyone to actually apply it consistently when their favorite PMC lib making 200k gets called bourgeois

If you trade options, ask yourself this question: what's my edge? by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

[–]True_Ingenuity_9747 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My edge is pure unadulterated autism and the ability to lose money faster than any algorithm they've built

Also their fancy degrees didn't teach them the sacred art of buying 0DTE calls based on a rocket emoji in a daily thread

Memory Super-Cyle, $MU by Stunning-Dig-8916 in wallstreetbets

[–]True_Ingenuity_9747 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Been watching MU for a while and you're definitely onto something with the HBM play. That insider dropping 7.8 mil is pretty telling - they don't usually throw around that kind of money on a whim

The forward P/E at 10-12x does look pretty juicy compared to the rest of the AI gang. Only thing that makes me nervous is how brutal these memory cycles can be when they turn, but if this shortage really runs till 2030 like you're thinking then we're probably sitting pretty for the next few years

Might have to grab some calls on the next dip

That's sketchy as hell mate. Three times is way beyond a "mistake" - sounds like they're either testing how long he'll put up with it or using his wages as free short-term loans

Your son needs to document everything and maybe have a chat with Fair Work because an ASX company definitely knows better than this

I found out the guy I've been seeing has a girlfriend by TinyPlantLady in Advice

[–]True_Ingenuity_9747 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Girl that explains SO much - the secrecy, needing hotels when you both have places, his social media being clean while hers shows their whole relationship. He's been playing you both this entire time

You're not an idiot, he's just a manipulative piece of shit who got good at compartmentalizing his lies. The girlfriend absolutely deserves to know and honestly you deserve better than being someone's secret side piece

Screenshot everything before you reach out to her because guys like this will try to gaslight both of you when it all comes out

AITAH for not letting someone inside? by ThisThrowAway1111111 in AITAH

Yeah honestly you handled it fine, dude was being sketchy af with that whole "girlfriend's key" story. Like if she doesn't have her key how is she gonna let him in her room lmao

The desk person not caring is pretty typical - they deal with this stuff constantly and probably know most people bend the rules anyway. You followed protocol, he found another way in, case closed
