  • Honestly, with all the fuckery going on, nothing has changed. Gamestop has got an “out” for when it does happen and if people blame them they can say they offered up shares.

    The company is not going bankrupt any time soon, making the shorts even more fucked. The drs numbers haven’t changed, only the percentage. Locking down the float was always an unobtainable dream, but worth a shot. And even then if you believe the DD there are so many shorts that the dilution is just a drop in the water.

    Their cash on hand is now >40% of their market cap, making this the smartest investment from an objective and squeeze-less point of view. Add in the shorting and fuckery that still goes on to this day, I don’t see a problem.

    Momentum was probably still going to lose if they didn’t dilute, considering this is one of the most, if not the most manipulated stock on the market.

    When MOASS happens, it happens. All the rest is just noise.




    • They sell the shares on the market, for market price during market hours. I might be wrong, but I think AMC shares were diluted directly to hedge funds. I might be misremembering.
    • Gme is not in debt, like AMC is
    • RC is still holding all his shares unlike AA who sells as soon as he can.

    There’s probably a plan at Gamestop for the money. We don’t know what it is.

    If anything it absolves gamestop from any manipulation accusations. And gives them an out by saying they offered shares to prevent MOASS.



  • Implying that Kubrick isn’t a genius in his own right.

    Stephen King wrote a lot of stories. Not saying that a lot of them aren’t good. But it feels, to me, like he’s been throwing a lot of shit at the wall to see what sticks with a lot of years even releasing multiple books in a year. The man is a machine, with some good stories sometimes.

    Kubrick’s movies on the other hand have been classics for the most part. And yes, that includes the Shining.











  • I always enjoy browsing Xitter(formerly known as muskless) during eurovision, but all I’m seeing is posts about people calling hate on Israel antisemitic and people defending Israel’s actions using whataboutism. I know I shouldn’t expect anything else from xitter, but I’m still appalled. They defend annihilating an entire country for what a certain group in said country did.

    By giving voting money to a song contest, and bragging on social media, I guess.
