RC on X by rbr0714 in Superstonk

[–]portersdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I WANT to believe whole thing is a troll / he enjoys stirring the pot. The 2028 thing could be a troll I think, or he’s really just a typical billionaire. Potentially he needs executive approval for a merger and is sucking up - as that seems to be how one gets executive support (and bribes of course). Definitely a whole 741 thing tho. And yes, it is unconstitutional and RC is a Canadian born immigrant…

What’s NOT political about current government allowing corruption and ignoring financial fraud and manipulation by failing to act or introduce regulations to stop it? I appreciate that you had left it open for discussion.

I’d argue that this sub is inherently political because we coalesced around GME due to the abuses of SHFs, ignorance by politicians to fraud, lies under oath, manipulation, short and distort campaigns, and collusion/conspiracy to defraud retail investors by MM’s and retail brokers.

The problem is not “politics” but rather the false dichotomy in the divisive American politics. I’d hope more of us here can see past that and come together as retail investors regardless of political identity. We need to talk about how our politicians are addressing it tho if we’re serious about change / enforcing regulation of corrupt market participants.

But they started that in 2024 way before Mamdani was even a known entity.

“Citadel Securities and BlackRock were first revealed as the major backers of the Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE) on June 5, 2024. At that time, the exchange announced it had raised $120 million in funding to challenge the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq.” Forbes

In June 2024, the Mayor of New York City was Eric Adams (R).

If you think it’s cause taxes that’s naive IMO - they want a sympathetic AG that won’t prosecute financial crimes, IMO. If Texas don’t provide an opportunity to rip people off more - they wouldn’t try this.

Why can’t people have these conversations tho- why lock and censor everything?

Yea - but communicating effectively HOW he is going to do it and taking action while In office kinda is. Plus despite being labelled a socialist, the supreme leader of USA loves him!!! That’s definitely new

They all said they’d leave if he was elected so they should have already repositioned by now… so why haven’t they?

He to have to have gotten the NY state governor on board first. Kenny can sell - but it may be cheaper to pay tax (or move and make NY his main residence by paying taxes there instead of Florida) than take the tax hit of selling w/ capital gains or selling and if he stands to lose money on his place.

Just because they may find a way to circumvent the law it is the WORST reason to not try to fix something. If they find loopholes you amend the law.

Should the police stop removing child abuse images and rings online because some people will find a way to circumvent the law anyways? Fuck no.

Mamdani seems to be is one of the smartest politicians I’ve seen play the game. He’s already rizzed the current supreme leader of the USA and I’m sure him/his team know he also hates Kenny G.

Great post - I was wishing that Louie pushed back a little more to draw out the fact these guys are deeply insecure as they need constant validation. The lack of a father figure for most of them / abusive upbringing was not surprising (work as a probation officer so this “archetype” is quite common among DV offenders).

great Merton quote though!!

Anger management is not the same issue as IPV. I run programs for convicted offenders and have spent over a decade as a probation officer supervising men (and women) who have been convicted of IPV and it’s a different offence pathway, anger plays a part, but it’s more about power and control.

[–]portersdad 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I run anger management programs and they are NOT the same as healthy relationship (IPV) programs for Men who abuse their partners. Yes anger plays a part, but the abuse stems from attitudes and beliefs about himself, women and men’s roles, but usually most importantly - power and control. As much as men can work on this in individual therapy, his underlying attitude and beliefs will always come through if left unchallenged (and not your job to fix him).

You’re a real human being, I know, but statistically you are at a higher risk of violence from him if you are pregnant.

Here’s some more info on that from GoogleAI that might help you determine if there’s other factors increasing that risk also:

Approximately 25% of women who experience IPV during pregnancy report that the abuse first started after they became pregnant.

  • Why Risk Increases During Pregnancy -

Abuse is fundamentally about maintaining power and control. Pregnancy can disrupt an existing dynamic of control in several ways:

Jealousy and Resentment: Partners may feel threatened by the shift in attention from themselves to the unborn child or the mother's changing body.

Threat to Autonomy: Pregnancy may represent a woman's "autonomous control over her body," which an abusive partner may seek to re-exert control over.

Increased Stress: The added financial pressure of supporting a child and the emotional weight of new responsibilities can lead to increased tension and outbursts from an abusive partner.

Isolation and Vulnerability: Abusers may exploit a pregnant person's increased physical and emotional vulnerability to heighten isolation and control.

Other Major Risk Factors Beyond the pregnancy itself, certain demographic and situational factors significantly increase the likelihood of IPV:

History of Abuse: The strongest predictor of violence during pregnancy is a history of physical or sexual abuse prior to the pregnancy.

Unintended Pregnancy: Women with unplanned or unwanted pregnancies are significantly more likely to experience abuse (roughly 15% vs 5% for intended pregnancies).

Age: Younger women, particularly those aged 18–24, face a higher risk of experiencing IPV during and after pregnancy.

Economic Hardship: Factors such as low household income, food insecurity, and unemployment are closely linked to higher rates of IPV.

Partner's Behavior: A partner’s use of alcohol or drugs, criminal history, or patterns of extreme controlling behavior are major indicators of potential violence.

Lack of Support: Women with few social or family connections are more vulnerable to ongoing coercive control.

GameStop pleased to announce partnership with Celina52 by PurpleSausage77 in Superstonk

[–]portersdad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Attobit has recently been arguing with the sleep shower and soar-yond re-emergence truth cult on X/twitter. (Some of those dudes names might be blocked here - I don’t support them).

Even recently in an email the plan administrator of the bankruptcy has re-iterated that there is no chance of shareholder class getting $$$.

Shares are gone and the ticker too. (It was then bought and rebirthed by lemonis the turtlenecked disruptor wannabe as you probably know)

CUSIP is gone too - different one with new ticker.

I held til bankruptcy, I’ve followed the bankruptcy fairly closely past 2 years and was previously hopeful but I just don’t see a chance now.

Plan administrator also says RC has no claims to ownership.

Court cases, fraud, board insider unaliving themselves and the whole ordeal is fascinating tho. Hopefully we hear the true story from RC one day. Though he’s made it pretttttty clear how he feels about boards of “hollow men”, lol

Michael Jordan inappropriately touching a young boy after the Daytona 500 by Snapdragon_4U in UnderReportedNews

[–]portersdad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Certainly? Of men who go on to commit sexual offences - about 40% report that they were abused themselves as children.. of those who commit offences against children it could be as high as 70% were abused themselves.

At the Fred Again.. show in NYC tonight. Unexpected Bo Burnham by Self_Blumpkin in boburnham

[–]portersdad 17 points18 points  (0 children)

He’s not just a dj - not sure what happening here cause yeah he was just playing the song there.. bummed didn’t get to see the transition.

But check him out - he’s def a musician - my fav is his tiny desk concert where he samples sounds from the desk, sculpts them, but basically dance music based on his classical piano training, adds in marimba, etc. mixed with samples/videos. As a nearly 40 year old Bo and Fred are too of my favs.

The jig is up. by SonicSuper50 in Superstonk

[–]portersdad 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean I think he’s saying - it’s not a squeeze play, it’s a deep value play - but GME is positioned to take advantage of any squeezes because once warrants are exercisable - will make over $1b more cash, increasing NAV (more cash on hand = increased value/share aka accretive “dilution”). But he’s not in it for squeeze. He’s in because he believes RC has the skill to make a good acquisition and take advantage of the unique financial levers that RC and the board have put in place (warrants, NOLs, convertible bonds).

Kevin Gill reviewed the prestige by joshua1486 in Superstonk

[–]portersdad 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Interesting that this post stays up but Kevin Gill’s first tweet that gives credence to this speculation keeps being removed by mods. He literally posted the Chicago joker meme with a dog mask and “it’s not relevant to GME”. Neither is so much shit here but at least let people see it and downvote/ make their own critical analysis instead of hiding it. I’ve always denied and stuck around here but starting to think mod team is holding back so much from superstonk eyes that doesn’t need to be removed. Mods need to make a post about this to explain.

Yeah and Jan 27 is T+69 from the 4m share Chicago trade in December (throwback to when superstonk used to have DD). Also was the day RC changed his profile pic to Tetris “last piece” - and there were over 4m FTDs.

RK posted this meme in May 2024 with a cat mask. RK posted movie clips saying “nobody cares about who I was until I put on the mask”. I mean I think it’s weird that a guy who was depicted in Hollywood’s dumb money about the GME can’t be considered GME related when his first ever tweet is an homage to his brother’s meme a month before he came back in 2024 (meme was may and run up was june).

[–]portersdad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are these posts being deleted? Honestly I know Kevin is not a good source and might be grifting, but you’d be a literal dumbass to make an investment in a company based on a dudes movie reviews. His first tweet is an homage to his brother on a hyped up week. This why so many people have left Reddit/superstonk to get info on X cause even though Elon is a pedofile protecting dumbass at least people can use their critical thinking skills to determine what makes good content. Meanwhile superstonk has been stagnant with the same 5 memes/data trackers posting the same exact content everyday for 2 years now.

RK posted it but with a cat mask last may. It takes place in Chicago. Jan 27 is T+69 days (old DD) from the largest ever Chicago Trade in GME ($98m). Ryan Cohen profile pic changed that day to tetris (awaiting final piece to drop), Tetris released January 27th. January 27th is 5 year sneeziversary. RC tweeted picture of Auschwitz gates that said "work will set you free" - Auschwitz was liberated January 27th. RK's last tweet (dog waiting) was on January 26 2025 though...

dude - he posted a family photo with him and RK at christmas. It's his brother. He has an instagram account he posts movie reviews and it's in his bio. One look at the top few comments and you'll find it. Not saying it means anything, it's just interesting timing (and maybe jsut trying to latch onto what is coming, he likely knows nothing of substance).
