GameStop investor retracts suit accusing Roaring Kitty of pump-and-dump scheme
  • To me, all this stonks nonsense is just investors with a new scam trying to supplant the investors running the old scam.

    Anyway it's a good thing in that it exposes the grade-school explanation that the "stock market is a meritocracy where the best businesses/ products rise to the top" as total bullshit.

    An alien looking at the stock market would assume that Tesla makes the best cars; MacDonald's the best food; and Microsoft the best software.

  • Is there a chat/dating app that isn't complete shit and pay wall restricted?
  • A better question is can a dating app be good?

    Around 2010, every tech bro that's creaming shorts over AI today was trying to figure out how to make money behind the fact that everyone had smartphones. But it turned out, that smartphones can't solve every problem.

    Dating I would argue, is just one of those things tech made worse. Never mind how often the damn thing fails, think about the conditions where it would function well. A dystopian world where everything is shallow and operating on incel-math.

    And how could it be otherwise? Dating apps are just math people trying to solve for love. This is the plot to a comedy movie, not a business plan.

  • Who is a character you feel is overhated and despised too much ?
  • Thanos' reasoning is idiotic.

    People are a resource. If you eliminated half the people, not only have you wasted all resources that went into those people, but you've wasted everything those people could produce. Minus half of agricultural workers would probably mean way less than half production. The post-snap world would be a place of austerity and starvation. You could recover sure, but it'd be time for another snap.

  • S-500 is kill
  • Sure, but in the 90s intercepting a ballistic missile was a new capability. The tech must be more mature now. Besides, the way Russian procurement works, prototypes are usually light years ahead of what eventually gets produced and issued.

  • ACLU suspects warrantless surveillance in neo-Nazi’s prosecution
  • This is an odd test case. Not only is the defendant unsympathetic, the circumstances seem to be exactly what section 702 was intended for.

    Whatever information was obtained through FISA (if it was), wasn't used as evidence against this guy. So they can't even prove that the Nazi was subject to a FISA search, much less that it harmed him.

    What's the most likely end of mankind and our world as we know it?
  • What if the great filter is just when civilizations learn to live sustainably at home? Perhaps the assumption of infinite population growth, resource consumption, and expansion is flawed.

    That's my optimistic thought for the day.

  • I’ve never quit a game due to lack of skill, until Sekiro
  • Sekiro might be my favorite game, but it's not for everyone. According to Steam global achievements, only half of the people who purchased the game get past Lady Butterfly.

    Right now I'm on the fence about the Elden Ring DLC because I'm not sure I want to invest the effort on what I know will be frustrating bosses.
