Look I’m not saying that to be a jerk it’s good advice. But hey it’s your life. Enjoy continuing to feel bad about shit that’s completely out of your control. People don’t choose the lives they are born into. There is a mutual aid comm too, something we might be able to actually use more if some of us were able to get more money somehow. Or hell maybe even pay the mods! The idea that this website is poor shaming by trying to squeeze a little juice out of a rigged system that’s falling apart before our eyes is a level of self pity I can’t even fathom. I doubt this community has over 10k in GME and it’s probably a lot less, even if you include other stock symbols. But yeah no it’s the users who are gambling with what little they have that are really ruining this website.
Yeah there's been some terrible takes recently. One that got me was someone saying that hating on the r/wsb thing was "western leftism". Nah, in fact probably the most "western leftist" thing ever is trading stocks to try beat the capitalists at their own game if people want to throw that take around.
I don't like to dunk on fellow chapo people on this site (unless they're an obvious wrecker of course), feels like I'm harassing them. We're all allowed to have a bad take now and then
Yeah there's been a ton of terrible takes with regards to the wsb stuff. That was definitely the worst. Also you can undelete the post by clicking the bin symbol again
No where near a direct hit but it's caused non stop rain that is breaking 50 year flood lines/records and I live next to a river so yeah. It's stopped raining now and I hope it stays that way
Pretty much what I said. Person left the site because all the wall street bets stuff and seeing people gamble with probably to them a large amount of money was making their depression worse. That's what I could get from their posts before they deleted their account.
But then they need to be addressed somehow. If I see another "woe me I'm a CEO and finance ghouls suck" post or "I have substantial amount of money invested in GameStop when do I pull out" post I'm going to turn into an irl agony emote.
Maan. I'm broke as hell, lost literally everything getting out of an abusive relationship. Starting over for the 2nd time (finished school in 2007 lol rip). Yeah, I'm a little jealous I can't be in on this, but like I'm not going to judge other people. I don't know why people can't just be happy for comrades catching a break
I'm beginning to regret not pushing back harder against this kind of shit. I'm interested in this gamestonks story and have responded to WSB posts because I'm a (rogue) economist, not because I'm speculating. The mods who put up the WSB comm and designated it a "Dengist safe space" are too irony-poisoned to realize that people unfamiliar with Deng's role in opening up the PRC to exploitation by western capitalists (and the fact that "Dengist" is usually a pejorative) would interpret the comm as sanctioning participation in market speculation entryism instead of a quarantine for WSB posts that should probably be shut down when the hype dies down.
If nothing else I've realized just how easy it must have been for the CPC leadership to go in this direction in the 1970s-1990s after their country stayed dirt-poor for the first couple decades after the 1949 revolution while under constant siege.

Yeah same. That poster left the site now because of what's been happening. I'm just waiting for all of this r/wsb stuff to blow over tbh.

Yeah 100% serious. They were saying the current talk on the site was making their depression worse so yeah.

Whoops, deleted my post when trying to see the quote above.
Kudos to you for being an ethical comrade, but that is one of the biggest brain takes I’ve ever heard in my life. Just in awe of that brain.
(Post was saying to put it in the dunk tank)

Sweet.
By the way, you almost had flooding from the cyclone right? Did it barely miss you or just wasn’t that bad? Hope all is ok.

Please no, I'm going to turn into an irl agony emote soon if someone says that unironically again

Gotta do the one with the cowboy hat. That’s the best agony emote

Gotcha. Man, that fucking sucks.
:deeper-sadness:
I hope the fucking stonks were worth it
Person left the site and some posters want a lumpen community now, yeah it not been the best

what the fuck could possibly go wrong :this-is-fine:
"Creating a stocks gambling community, what's the worst that could happen???"
Class divisons on chapo are not good

Yeah, I used to work in a finance risk management and compliance adjacent role, and know about this stuff, so it’s fascinating to watch and talk about
