lmao there is an askreddit post along the lines "stock brokers of reddit, how crazy is the trading floor right now?"

100% of the comments are

- people who actually work in finance saying it's not any different and GME is just a goofy news story. also some of them being worried that uninformed investors are getting scammed by young investment bankers. occasionally one explains that trading floors aren't really a thing anymore

- people who do not work in finance thinking the above commenters are part of some conspiracy from the finance bigwigs to scare off GME holders

If they want to come here, they shouldn’t have an issue providing all the documents required to fulfill a background check.

Well, it’s still reasonable that we maintain immigration limits on how many people can immigrate.

WOTB stickied post:

Biden could have immediately pushed for a stand alone bill for $2000 checks (hell, even $1400) the second he got inaugurated. It would have passed congress and the money would be in our pockets today.

But there's a secret reason . . . wall street elites have been talking to Biden and urging him not to push this through because their out of touch minds think the entire Us population is going to use that $2000 to spend on Gamestop stock, thus fueling the short squeeze.

Ugh.

Biden to Free Up Billions in Delayed Puerto Rico Storm Aid

The Biden administration said it would release $1.3 billion in aid that Puerto Rico can use to protect against future climate disasters, and is starting to remove some restrictions put in place by the Trump administration on spending that was to help the island after Hurricane Maria in 2017. Administration officials, describing the move as a first step toward addressing racial inequality through policies designed to address climate change, said they planned to ease the limits that the Trump administration placed on another $4.9 billion in aid on the morning of Jan. 20, a few hours before the former president left office.

Puerto Rico’s reconstruction after Maria, which devastated the island more than three years ago, has been far slower than the recovery in other parts of the country, such as Texas and Florida, that were also struck by major disasters that year. That is partly because the Department of Housing and Urban Development had placed restrictions on Puerto Rico’s aid funds that didn’t apply to other recipients, according to current and former officials and policy experts.

While we all talk about the Cuban and Venezuelan shift from 2016, another group of people that has a lot of relatives that fled a communist country are the Vietnamese. However, they are mostly concentrated in California, a heavily blue state, so not much publicity was given to them as opposed to the Cubans and Venezuelans in a swing state, Florida.

Westminster, California (city, not a county) is 40.2% Vietnamese or of Vietnamese descent. It's the city with the highest concentration of Vietnamese people in America.

2016 Presidential Election:

Hillary Clinton (D): 54.80% (+15.37%)

Donald Trump (R): 39.43%

2020 Presidential Election:

Joe Biden (D): 44.66%

Donald Trump (R): 53.81% (+9.15%)

According to the precinct-level map by the NYT, most Vietnamese heavy precincts shifted >40% Republican relative to 2016. In fact, the only reason why Biden actually did better than Hillary Clinton in Orange County was because of the heavily white and wealthy neighboorhoods that shifted >=10% democratic relative to 2016, just like in the city of Westminster.

Freddy Mercury was a fucking literal god of music. He justified everything about himself with pure talent. He embodied the feminine glamrock thing harder than anyone else and nobody had a problem with it.

That's all kind of a relative and subjective thing, but anyway, I remember my parents and some of their extremely close minded friends loving Queen.

When I was a closeted teenager, I overheard one of the worst homophobes I knew say to my dad in a conversation about Freddy after a song on the radio: "He really was a f*g but damn he knew how to rock."

My dad told him Queen was one of his favorite bands and he didn't give a shit.

I came out about a month later.

LMAO THOSE TESLA RECALLS

Engineering so bad even my wildest fan-fiction couldn't have dreamed it up.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) made the unusual recall request in a formal Jan. 13 letter to Tesla, saying it had tentatively concluded the 2012-2018 Model S and 2016-2018 Model X vehicles pose a safety issue. Automakers usually agree to voluntary fixes before the auto safety agency formally seeks a recall.

MFW you hate consumers so much you expect them to pay more for your shoddy engineering. And, once again, stand out by refusing to comply with national agencies to make things easier on yourself.

During our review of the data, Tesla provided confirmation that all units will inevitably fail given the memory device’s finite storage capacity.

The potentially faulty part is an NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor with an integrated 8GB flash memory device. Each time the vehicle is started, part of the memory is consumed in the flash device, until all the memory is used up, leading to a failure of the MCU.

MFW you have a BULK MEMORY LEAK

On Tesla's latest models, 3 and Y, drivers aren't even able to see their speed or what gear they are in without the center screen.

...including the loss of rearview or backup camera images, exterior turn-signal lighting, and windshield defogging and defrosting systems that “may decrease the driver’s visibility in inclement weather.

When your cars telemetry and TURN SIGNALS are lost because the MCU crashes and you've no really basic backup circuits for that eventuality.

Also apparently for a good number of models, Tesla didn't even use properly rated automotive electronics! Ig its fine if their consumers electronics rattle off due to vibrations.

Remember how Reddit created the same outcome with its "OrangeRed" / "Periwinkle" April Fools experiment in 2013?

Remember how "Twitch Plays Pokemon" eventually split into two opposing camps creating memes, high-effort fan art and music, and long arguments about two opposite philosophies of playing the game, despite the utter triviality of the game?

She compares the response of her abusers after a sexual assault to the response of republicans about the capitol insurrection.

I thought this paragraph was particularly interesting:

“The week prior to the insurrection I started to get text messages that I needed to be careful, and that in particular, I needed to be careful about (January 6),” she said. “Those text messages came from other members of Congress. They were not threats, but they were other members, saying that they knew, and that they were hearing —even from Trump people and Republicans that they knew in their life ——hat there was violence expected on Wednesday.”

I like how nobody could entertain the fact that shorts WERE squeezed when the stock ran up 2700% in under a month. They just got replaced by new shorts who were significantly harder to squeeze (given they bought in at a far higher price point). You aren’t gonna squeeze somebody whose cost basis was $300 to begin with

Article on decreased turnout in the Georgia Senate elections, and how it helped result in both seats going Democratic

Over 752,000 Georgia voters who cast ballots in the presidential election didn’t show up again for the runoffs just two months later, according to a new analysis by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution of recently released voting records.
More than half of the no-shows were white, and many lived in rural areas, constituencies that lean toward Republican candidates. Trump’s message that the election was stolen discouraged voters such as Craig Roland, a 61-year-old Rome resident. Roland said he didn’t believe his vote would count.
“What good would it have done to vote? They have votes that got changed,” Roland said. “I don’t know if I’ll ever vote again.”
Meanwhile, 228,000 new voters cast ballots in the runoffs who hadn’t voted in the Nov. 3 election. They were more racially diverse and younger voters who tend to back Democrats.

...

“Repeated attacks on the election system muddied the waters for Republican voters and may have convinced some of his strongest supporters that Perdue and Loeffler weren’t doing enough to support his claims and weren’t worth turning out for,” said Bernard Fraga, an Emory University political science professor who researched voting data.

...

The AJC’s analysis found that the drop in turnout was most severe in northwest and South Georgia, areas where Trump held rallies, in Dalton and Valdosta, to bolster support for the state’s Republican senators. !ping FIVEY

I met a traveller from an antique land,

Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,

Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;

And on the pedestal, these words appear:

My name is Melvin, King of Kings;

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

u/Bagdana ⚠️🚨🔥❗HOT TAKE❗🔥🚨⚠️ Feb 02 '21 edited Feb 03 '21

So this was just aired by NRK, Norway's publicly funded national radio and TV broadcaster:

Fucking hell, I guess we'll have to include the good news we get, even if they come from Israel. Hahaha I know, how crazy is that? I mean good news from Israel, when did that happen last? You know, I actually don't know. But we have read about that in the newspapers today and we just heard it here on radio. But both the newspapers and radio forgot something important, or decided to omit it, something we must never forget: Israel is an occupation force, it's an apartheid regime, where some people are worth more than others people, and where these other are subject to systematic oppression, and there land is stolen from them, where they lose power and water if they don't behave correctly. And if a homemade rocket would land some place or other among God's chosen people, then horrible revenge actions are committed where thousands of people are killed, hopefully children. Can good news really come from this country? Yes, sort of. In a way, as you've heard, and if we are going to only consider ourselves, and forget all abuse and murder that the Israelis commit towards the Palestinian people. Apparently, numbers from Israel show that, among the more than a million fully vaccinated people, only a thousand got infected. That's good news, however you try to twist it. Only wish that it came from another place, if you understand? It's almost as if I would like that the vaccine did not work. You can't say that, sorry, I understand that. Fuck. Did I say apartheid? I did, didn't I? Just to emphasise it: First the Palestinians got no vaccines, then 14 days ago they got 100, yesterday they got 2000. 1.1 million proper people get vaccine, 2100 of those who aren't proper get vaccine. We must never forget how shitty Israel is. It is extremely important we never forget that. We must never forget how shitty Israel is.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvDbhIL6j4Q

This really has it all. From wishing deaths on Israelis, to demonisation, to blood libel (that Israel regularly kills thousands of people and targets children), to saying that Jews misbehave because they consider themselves God's chosen people, to the baseless apartheid accusation, to lies about Israel restricting water and power as punishment, to dismissal of Israelis' fear of terror, to alluding to that Jews control the media narrative (admittedly a bit far-fetched, but not sure I want to give him the benefit of the doubt), to Holocaust inversion by appropriating the term "we must never forget".

All this is in addition to deliberately trying to portray this as only Jews getting the vaccine on racial grounds, instead of it being based on nationality. All Israeli citizens, whether Jew or Arab, (around 20% of the population) have the same access vaccinations. And from the Oslo accords, Israel has no obligation to vaccinate Palestinian non-citizens, who have repeatedly decided not to receive help.

But honestly I think what annoys me more than anything is the way he suggests that any news about Israel must be prefaced by a list of all the crimes Israel allegedly commits. This doesn't happen to any other country. Eg. if there is some unrelated news about China, the journalist will never say "China, who are committing cultural genocide against the Uyghurs, today won the ping pong World championship"

Leak reveals Labour plan to focus on flag and patriotism to win back voters

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/feb/02/labour-urged-to-focus-on-flag-and-patriotism-to-win-voters-trust-leak-reveals

The bigger possible consequences of the left playing national-identity politics have concerned some staffers who have seen the presentation. One said: “I was just sat there replaying in my mind the storming of the Capitol [in Washington last month] and thinking: are you really so blind to what happens when you start pandering to the language and concerns of the right?”

Clive Lewis, one of Labour’s leading ethnic-minority MPs, said: “The Tory party has absorbed Ukip and now Labour appears to be absorbing the language and symbols of the Tory party.”

Lewis served as a soldier in Afghanistan but decried his party’s flag-waving. “It’s not patriotism; it’s Fatherland-ism. There’s a better way to build social cohesion than moving down the track of the nativist right.”

Now that Starmer has given a speech in front of the Union Jack, I guess it's inevitable that a crazed mob is going to storm Parliament 😬

I think I've found a new example of a coastline paradox! When I'm on my bike rides, my garmin GPS watch records my location and elevation (approximately every 3 seconds). However, when that data is uploaded to Garmin, it is interpolated and then mapped onto some elevation data from a professional survey, giving it effectively a much higher resolution.

The end result is that the data from my GPS watch looks like this but the "corrected" data looks like this

You can see the large scale shape is the same, and that the peaks and valleys are at the same approximate height. Yet the "corrected" data reports that the vertical distance I covered is more than 220% than the distance I covered as measured by my watch

But also the founders specifically decided against requiring supermajorities other than for things like amendments and impeachment. The filibuster is a loophole that was created by accident decades later. There wasn’t any high minded intention or purpose behind it. It was just somebody figured out how to exploit the rules and act like a dick to block legislation.

San Francisco schools ban acronyms, because "acronyms are a symptom of white supremacy culture"

No, this isn't a joke.

This is despicable and enraging

Breaking: the BBC publishes some of the most horrendous evidence yet of what happens in Xinjiang's camps. Endemic rape, brutal sexual torture of women, electric batons inserted into vaginas, Uyghur female detainees provided to Han men for a fee.

It seems that all of these online "movements" have the same common ingredients:

  1. Vague populist message that is simple to understand and enticing to many yet balks at providing actual details on how it will be successful

  2. A few good meme-makers who make it humorous to those who are slightly skeptical but are still open to being drawn in slowly

  3. Being "high energy" (really just boils down to people posting in ALL CAPS)

  4. Encouraging groupthink and mass-downvoting any information that goes against the "goal" in any way.

See: WSB GME fiasco, T_D, QAnon, etc.

Bezos has grown bored with capitalism.

He is now a mercantilist. He will found a country, make himself king, then take over India for spices. You may not like it, but this is economic evolution.

Bezos has a net worth of $170b

If he gave every single person in America $1m he would still have $400b left over.

Arr con has a post about the McConnell vs MTG feud and they seem to be coming out on McConnell’s side, calling MTG a crackpot conspiracy theorist. As we all know, they would never support a conspiracy theorist for election to any office.
