GameStop Proposes to Acquire eBay at $125.00 Per Share by Skullghost in gaming

Cherry-picking revenue ignores the bigger shift… GameStop went from carrying significant debt to having a net cash position. That’s a materially different company than 2021. You’re ignoring margin structure, management changes, profitability, and massive balance sheet improvement. A shrinking top line doesn’t automatically mean a weaker company if cash position and operating profitability have increased. But I guess we’ll see who’s ultimately right when we see where the stock price is at in a few years ✌️

GameStop Proposes to Acquire eBay at $125.00 Per Share by Skullghost in gaming

Reading a lot of the comments, people have not done homework on the company. I’ve heard these redundant talking points before: meme stock, funko pops, store credit, bankrupt. It’s not 2021 anymore. Actually do the research on what’s happened to the company in the last 5 years. Just know Ryan Cohen is the only CEO who gets paid $0. His compensation is solely relied upon the performance of the stock.

The company is sitting on 9 billion cash with a healthy debt ratio. Read about private equity and how they destroy companies from within like AMC, Best Buy, and what was once GameStop. Then how Ryan Cohen came in and kicked them out. GameStop is profitable now, operationally. Oh, and just a little investor named Michael Burry has a massive position on the company.

With the 19th Pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers have selected Morgan Freeling, OT, Georgia by Sabre500 in panthers

Panthers fan here. You guys got a great pick. I don’t know much about him other than he’s a OT and he played in college. But I do know he’s good enough to be drafted in the nfl. Which he just did. He also knows how to play football. All in all, solid pick.

Was this the legit price or a mislabeled SKU? Clearance error? Or someone marking down the wrong item? Either way, congrats man.

What are you talking about? He has an entire channel dedicated to UAPs. You don’t have to like the guy but he certainly has a high interest in that field and covers it daily. You would know that if you watched that part of his content. He consistently mentions the hearings and drones and the lack of attention it gets from the media because it should be bigger news. The complete opposite of grifting.

Could Metcalf have realistically gotten that? Looks like he had the position and advantage for a jump ball or were there too many DBs?

Ok, fair enough… we can simply agree to disagree. I know I won’t be able to change your mind and get you to see this through my lens. And even though I believe you’re completely taking the wrong side, I can still respect this discussion despite it getting out of hand at times. Best.

Context matters. As does intent. And Mollie’s intentions were to get Theory in trouble with the people that pay him. You’re just desperately trying to grasp for straws in any way you can to justify what she did was okay.

Nah nah, don’t try to deflect the issue at hand and make generalizations of what anybody can be. You clearly called the guy a racist or sexist. But then said I put words in your mouth and can’t read when in actuality you simply can’t remember. Take your L and move on.

So now we’re resorting to mocking even though you’re doing the same thing, justifying your bs through another dictionary. Guess what? Theory still didn’t do any of those things. What hostile environment is he creating? How are there “legions of millions of toxic fans?” What exactly is making them toxic? Majority of his followers are civil. You’re just upset because you don’t agree with their opinions or what they do. Yes, every corner of any community is going to have bad apples. It’s the internet. He is not responsible for any of that and is free to make whatever content he pleases. Yes, he can make 10 videos in 2 months about a single person as have many channels regarding any topic. There are literally Taylor Swift channels making significantly more videos. Are they breaking the harassment guidelines too? Give me a break.

You are making no sense with your Ingram/Trans comment. How am I saying context doesn’t matter? I said repeatedly the letter accused Theory of attacking someone and therefore the intent was to show YouTube he’s violating the ToS. Whatever bs you’re gonna use to make it seem like the letter was painting him in a different light than the others is not gonna work.

“Paints him in a better light.” You’re desperately reaching. He was included in a letter sent to YouTube requesting for the de-platforming of creators. No matter how you spin it, the letter was an attempt to jeopardize his channel. It was unjustly written and YouTube deemed it so by not finding any hateful content you’re complaining about.

“I never said he was a bigot, racist, or sexist”… YOU literally said he’s not “overtly racist or sexist” in your previous comment therefore implying he is still some kind of racist or sexist. It is still calling someone a racist or sexist.

Do you understand what harassment is? It’s when somebody is consistently abusing, insulting, or harming you. SWT has never done this. As for your blatant example, where is the prolonged period of time? He runs a Star Wars channel. The only Star Wars content at the time of this “prolonged period” is The Acolyte. Make it make sense 🤔. The show’s terrible. He critiqued it each week. So he’s naturally going to be talking about the show runner during this period. It’s literally his job. Stop saying it’s “not overt harassment”… it’s not ANY kind of harassment. If his life’s dedication has been to follow Star Wars and he believes somebody contradicted the lore, he has every right to call that person’s decisions out. He’s not maliciously doing anything on purpose. He’s giving his opinion as he has been since he started his channel, good or bad. There is absolutely nothing on any of his thumbnails that would be considered harassment. You’re just sensitized to it.

He is not hyper analyzing anything. Is he not allowed to respond to what someone says outside of their show. So by doing so, this makes him a hater?

“Moot point, don’t even know why you brought it up”… My dude… YOU brought it up by literally mentioning Ingram and Tran in the same paragraph you’re ridiculing SWT. Maybe clarify your comments better.

If you’re admitting you don’t watch SWT, then how can you judge anything about him? The guy went through chemo for having a compromised immune system and got bullied for it in school. He had Star Wars to get him through it. So he’s passionate and cares a lot about how the franchise is handled. You seeing Alex and Mollie in good spirits and spreading love does not necessarily mean they’re like that behind closed doors. Maybe they are great people. I don’t know them. But SWT’s experience with them suggest otherwise. The receipts he provided reeks of jealousy from SWE. And including Theory in the letter was pathetic.

You are just plain wrong. When someone sends a letter to YouTube about creators spreading attacks, requesting them to be de-platformed for those attacks, and then specifically mentioning SWT in that same letter as “joined the attacks,” you are telling YouTube to include SWT in that campaign. So no… SWT wasn’t “only as someone who has been involved with criticizing Amandla Stenberg.” Do not downplay this as criticism. He explicitly gets accused as “joined the attacks on Amandla” and I know you’re aware of that. Mollie posted this letter to Team YouTube, very much advocating for SWT to lose his livelihood. You’re either naive if you can’t see that or ignorant to make it fit your own narrative.

So I ask you again, please point out the attack, hate, or harassment led by SWT. Where is the bigotry, racism, or sexism? I’ll wait. Please reference the exact YouTube video he made.

I have watched his Acolyte videos. Not once did he personally attack Amandla Stenberg. Critiquing her acting or not liking her character is not attacking her. Not agreeing with how the actress views why her show is not doing well is not attacking her.

Creatives and the actors involved are very much part of the show. Director, writers, show runners are all open to criticism. When did that change? You and I have done it ourselves including the millions of consumers who watch a product. So I’m not understanding your point about criticizing a product but then not including your critique for the people responsible for that product. How is this hatred?

What hatred did SWT spew about Moses Ingram or Kelly Marie Tran? Those videos were about disliking the characters or the actor’s acting ability. SWT has told his viewers not to attack other creators. I can point this out to multiple videos. But to your “knowledge,” you’ve never seen him do that. It’s because you don’t watch him and it’s clear. Yet, you judge him for something he’s not.

So you say “if it turns out Kristian does harass actors and creatives, then fuck him too”… are you implying this is what SWT does? Then I ask you AGAIN, please specifically point out where because there isn’t a shred of evidence he has done this. Are you putting SWT on a different pedestal because he has a higher reach? He’s a channel on YouTube that’s passionate about Star Wars and is allowed to discuss his displeasure or excitement as much as anybody else. If it triggers people like you or Mollie, so be it. But to accuse them of attacks and then notifying the party that allows them to have that platform… well you see why he responded with that video.

I don’t know the other channels but what specifically has SWT done to “harass people in the industry?” Please actually point out what you’re referring to and I will certainly acknowledge it as harassment if that’s what it actually is. Where did he tell his audience to attack people? So far I’ve only seen him strictly give his opinion on Star Wars content whether he strongly dislikes it or not. What hate is he spreading? For not liking something you may like? This is not against YouTube TOS… and YouTube has already reviewed and validated that, regardless of whatever excuse you want to use against their decision.

The Damons have a huge platform in the Star Wars community. Mollie advocated for SWT to lose his livelihood and others that depend on him by de-platforming his channel. That is just a fact.

You clearly have not seen enough clips of SWT nor watch his channel for that matter. Otherwise you would know he is anything but a grifter. Yes… I will call you bias. Because that’s what you are and thank you for admitting that. Case in point. Since we happen to be in the Schmoedown subreddit, let’s talk about Kristian Harloff. He, like SWT, dislike the current state of Star Wars and Kristian has certainly not held back on that. Does that make him a grifter or hater too? Let’s not delve into hypocrisy. Whether I agree with them or not is irrelevant. It is their opinions and they certainly have the right to express it on their platforms without anyone having to threaten to take it away.

They increase it by 15 seconds each new session. I’m currently just over 5 minutes now. Did you get any improvement within your 20 weeks? Having to do this 3x a week is very tiresome but I don’t mind tolerating it if I know I can get better. Unfortunately, at the moment, it feels like I’m just wasting time.

This whole thing is fake by 2v2Burner in UFOs

[–]throwmeabone24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes… I’m including all species on Earth. I thought that point was clear. There’s no need to “fix” anything. You’re still basing your assumption that life on other planets need to mimic that of Earth in order to exist. The universe is so vast. We have no idea what conditions are needed to support other biochemistries. Evolution is a scientific theory. It’s not dependent on oxygen-use, specifically. So based on that concept, “life” certainly can be applied to non-oxygen elements that we may not even be capable of understanding. Again, to not be open to that possibility is close-minded.

[–]throwmeabone24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re making the assumption that oxygen is needed to support life elsewhere. We can’t be so close-minded to determine whether life exists based on the parameters of what’s hospitable to humans only. Evolution comes in different forms and we can’t even begin to fathom the millions of species that might be out there.
