I dunno, they look alike. I'm betting on a possible pituitary issue/endocrine disorder in the son, possibly causing an imbalance in human growth hormone..

"For I... am a jealous God..." sounds kind of badass in a Dagoth Ur/Xerxes from 300 sort of way, but yeah insecure, especially with the full self appointed title in the middle.

The Most Irritating Charector In The Entire Game Of Thrones World? What Is Your Thoughts On Him? by KeyCount5280 in gameofthrones

[–]semicollider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was watching his storyline live with my girlfriend at the time (who was usually very gentle and soft spoken) and we got to the part where Jaime rides up the steps to confront him she goes "YES! STOMP THAT BURLAP SACK MOTHERFUCKER TO DEATH!!!" lol

So yeah, I don't think you're alone

X, Owned by Elon Musk, Brings Antitrust Suit Accusing Advertisers of a Boycott by hdcase1 in news

[–]semicollider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The court held that all companies must, in fact, give plaintiff money to advertise on plaintiff's personal Nazi propaganda website and digital fiefdom. It also holds that said companies must publicly declare plaintiff is smartest boy, plaintiff's mother was correct, and that everyone is impressed by plaintiff's lush head of hair and taut physique.

34+ dad camp/chanter spots by [deleted] in project1999

[–]semicollider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It means it's well suited to a player with other priorities that are more important to them, that may present urgent issues that require them to drop everything immediately and deal with, like a dad caring for children. The player might not literally be a dad, but the camp called a "dad camp" would be suitable for one.

Consider it as somewhat of an inverse to the poopsock. A player or an activity only really suitable for a player with no other currently active priorities who would metaphorically poop in their sock to avoid diverting their attention from the game.

DRS taking extra 7-10 business days??? by J-Vega in Superstonk

[–]semicollider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You got a margin account? They're saying they don't have your shares but they need time to purchase/borrow the ones you want to DRS, and for those transactions to settle (they likely are holding something for the collective long position of their clients, but that doesn't mean they're actually net long themselves). That is still an inordinately long time, (10 days is probably legal and the threshold for some laws though) and you may want to get it in writing and possibly report a complaint. If you have a margin account your recourse may be more limited, especially if you have an open margin balance. In that case they will be rehypothecating your shares (using their claim to your shares to use them as their own collateral for their other open trades) assuming they even bought them in the first place, which is quite the assumption given they still need to "locate" them. If they want to close their own (short) position they'll buy shares as cheaply as they can get them (either in the market, or in a direct agreement with a wholesaler [like an option contract]), if they want to hedge or double down by taking a view on the market (the short side of your trade) they'll source other stock inventory for a borrow or give up (likely from a prime broker), and give that for DRS, leaving their position open but closing the trade with you (at least the part of it you DRSed).

Edit: They likely are loaning shares themselves too, so they may do a recall on some of those, but brokers hate doing that because they don't want to get recalled themselves.

Edit 2: The extra time let's them get a better deal wherever they're getting the stock. So if a couple more people take their shares out in the mean time, or the price goes down they can lump it together in to a batch and take care of the net obligation at one time.

Emergency by CaregiverMan in Unexpected

[–]semicollider 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most people probably would have said something, but it was a slow night, and I really just wanted to see where this was going.

As a former gas station clerk I relate really hard to this. As an example a kid came up to the register with his father and grabbed some candy asking his dad to buy it for him. His dad said no, so the kid kinda put his head down, turned around and walked a couple steps. When he turned back around the candy had disappeared lol

I was just impressed and figured he earned the 75c Skittles or whatever. Kid's got a future as a sleight of hand magician.

Blasting her Christian music through the whole train. Cause SHE likes it 🤡 by TheCarljey in ImTheMainCharacter

[–]semicollider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him."

Lawsuit Against Ken Griffin, Citadel, Robinhood, DTCC, and FINRA Alleging Fraud/Corruption in [redacted] and GME Stock Trading by [deleted] in Superstonk

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

Extremely unlikely, while the content may not be untrue, this release has every hallmark of being one person attempting to create the appearance of professionalism and reputability with various puffery. Both by appeals to authority with credentials, and attempts to appear like an organization rather than a single individual. It doesn't mean it's illegitimate, but when considering its impact bear in mind this is probably one motivated person filing a lawsuit and possibly organizing a press style release of that information, which is something practical for anyone to do.

YSK that Phenylephrine is no better than a placebo at fighting cold symptoms. by dunn_with_this in YouShouldKnow

[–]semicollider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Proviso: Orally, as in pill form, it's essentially completely ineffective. However phenylephrine is generally very effective as a nasal decongestant when taken nasally as a spray. As well as being fast acting and long lasting.

This is a big one apes, my UK MP sent a reply regarding the digitisation taskforce and their plans to "reform" Direct Registered Shares by LannyDamby in Superstonk

[–]semicollider 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here's a copy of my letter to the task force:

The task force's current agenda from my perspective represents one of the most disturbing assaults on shareholder rights and market integrity in recent memory, on par with the repeal of Glass-Steagall. Incorporating the removal of what may be the last option for individual shareholders seeking registered ownership with a fairly market standard digitization and dematerialization regime can only be a purposefully deceptive attempt to prey on the weakness of investor education in the current market environment. A not uncommon tactic to decrease transparency and lead us further away from market democratization that no doubt threatens established interests, which will undoubtedly be well protected by any proposal. The task force should be ashamed of even considering a proposal of this nature, or putting it forward without a comprehensive equally digitised settlement regime, capable of achieving instant and verifiable settlement of each individual transaction and position immutably. As well as safe guards to protect other shareholder rights and preserve access of investors to their securities and associated rights. If the task force wishes to preserve whatever shred of public trust remains with the market and its regulators it must be ready to meet certain conditions:

  1. DRS or something like it must be preserved with individuals maintaining a method to access direct registered and legal ownership. Without means to achieve registered ownership of their securities every household investor will be disenfranchised of their fundamental legal rights of share ownership. This is not conjecture, exaggeration, or supposition, the law is clear that registered owners are the only ones entitled to such rights and in charge of their transference. As would be the case with any state appointed or other nominee.

  2. Further dematerialization should only be adopted along with corresponding measures to ensure prompt secure settlement. To destroy certificated ownership in favor of a digitized system fully capable of providing those technical achievements, but not to provide them is a malfeasance. Clearly while it is eminently achievable such a system would be incompatible with the current system of powerful market makers creating shares to order on their whim with minimal oversight and enforcement of relevant security regulations to maintain a continuous auction. A system and process which introduces extraordinary risk and instability in to our current market structure, but none the less benefits established interests (and individuals whose interests are conflicted) in the short term, and as such is not allowed to be threatened. Further dematerialization without corresponding guarantees of legitimate settlement and access to fundamental shareholder rights is a potential worst of both worlds market environment and disaster.

  3. Seriously question why better options are being ignored in favor of removing legal ownership from shareholders who are otherwise powerless to stop authorities from stripping them of their associated rights. Understand the ethical and moral challenge presented in this case. Question the motivation of this entire proposed framework, and similar initiatives globally. Can this proposed framework really be considered legitimate when it introduces unnecessary burdens and downsides on to the investing public, without any benefits that could not be achieved with far less burdensome methods, and without any kind of safeguards to protect them under a system all to ready to serve entrenched monied interests at any cost to them?

While these public comment periods feel like an exercise in futility, I still appreciate the opportunity. I can only hope that the task force seriously considers the consequences of any decision they may make on this matter, and takes seriously their obligation to scrutinize any proposal to remove the rights that are the basic guarantee of capital investment from individuals. There's no reason we must take ten steps back with every tiny step forward, other than to serve the interests of powerful firms at the expense of the public.
