I'm not completely up to date, but isn't that double jeopardy? Wasn't he already arrested and detained for shooting those scumbags?

All I know is that using this gun database will be pretty useful if you wanted to rob someone.

So she's grandstanding. She COULD help the common people have upward mobility by allowing them to have the equal treatment as wall street, but instead of doing the brave and morally good thing, she's going to spread the LIE that she's under physical attack from someone who cares little about her outside of the poor ideas she's made in a position of power. YOU CAN STILL WORK WITH POEPLE YOU DISAGREE WITH. Trump supporters have to do it constantly at their jobs. She's just giving a bullshit excuse to tie her hands so she can keep living with a cushy elite-funded salary while still seeming like the good guy to some redditors who are barely paying attention.

Even my dad, who listens to CNN like it's gospel, thinks this is fucking stupid.

The media is already spreading false information about the investors going under. These companies may be losing money, but it’s not as much as people think, they’re literally just losing the ability to invest money somewhere else. The stock is overpriced and the companies will buy back the shares once the stock price goes back to normal.

"Shuffling money around" is the backbone of any economy that has private ownership. It's an important role of banks, for example, and the phrase I'm familiar with that helps show it's benefits is "transferring funds from those who want to save money to those who want to borrow it" (i.e. from trader to "owner"). I think the problem with it stems from the fact that it's being done by huge companies that get to write their own rules and put themselves in too-big-to-fail scenarios. Don't knock actual individual investors, tho, because it's a super interesting way to make money while helping the economy function.

When the left cancels someone for something innocuous it’s justice, even if it’s over a lie, but the right acting the same was is a bad faith harassment campaign perfected by those who have no qualms with journalistic integrity.

Yeah, I used stagnate incorrectly there. I want to specify that what will most likely happen is that after people realize that they can’t get any more people to buy the stock (because the long term price is dubious), people will start to sell over time. It might even be true that some people will short the stock AGAIN because it’s so high. Whatever the case is for management at GameStop, nothing it’s been doing could warrant a tripling in common stock value over 10 days. In the end the only people making profit are the shorters who held or started now and the people who bought and sold the stock already.

You're not understanding my argument. Right now the stock price propped up by people constantly buying it. If people stop buying it, the price will stagnate at where it was i.e. drop because it's overvalued because of speculation. If the price starts to drop, people will most likely panic sell in order to make sure they don't lose money, in which case the selling will accelerate the price drop, causing the stock to become undervalued, and THEN big investors will drop all at once. The problem isn't that investors will sell all at once, it's that the stock buyers think they can beat out the big investors by forcing them to buy at an artificial high, but you can hold a short position indefinitely, and the buyers have to keep buying in order to prop up the price, whereas there is no opportunity cost for the big investors to hold their short position until this idiotic charade ends.

I don't think people realize how stupid this idea is. The first few people to buy stocks, maybe, because they're practically betting that some mouth breathers will follow their lead. But after that, what's gonna happen is that it'll spike when everyone else buys, but the justification for buying is complete malarkey, because if the big investors see the price spike, THEY CAN KEEP HOLDING THE POSITION. What's essentially happening is that dipshits are buying expecting everyone who shorted to buy back the stock all at the same time, but all that's happening is that people who think they're big braining stocks are inflating the stock price by buying it in the first place, and they're gonna lose their shit when people realize what a stupid idea that is, and then the big investors are gonna cover their position when everyone else sells their stock. TL;DR: Internet mob thinks people shorting a failing company is stupid, so they buy it, artificially increase stock price, and will eventually run the stock price into the ground after the meme is dead and people sell the overvalued stock, causing the big investors who aren't stupid to buy back the stock at an even lower price than expected in the long run.

You say that, until you realize that all of the pros in football/rugby/wrestling are getting complete mental breakdown caused by tons of concussions, leading to them beating or killing their wife, motor loss, and suicide. I'm fine when people talk about becoming famous off games, but it pisses me off when they do it riding someone else's coattails. The ones that deserve praise are the ones who add rigorous analysis to elevate the game and figure out its intricacies, or those who just add something new AND interesting to it.

It's really sad. He posts a pic of his children and most of the comments are "you murdered 400,000 Americans, your kids should be disappointed in you" and "thanks for being black, but also fuck you"

That wordsalad sounds like a cool architectural project for those who know a lot about soundwaves and the sort, it's more like "planning a military invasion where we try to maximize successful backflips by our soldiers". You can hit your stupid goal, but doing so will almost exclusively lead to everyone dying.

My sister read that book and loved it, and unsurprisingly, she’s a huge race baiter, liar, and classist. She got into a big name university off of a essay about her “humanitarian trip to Africa” which was actually a safari paid for by her parents. Her black friends are carbon copies of her rich white friends in a different color. Her and her father’s self-importance made living under the same roof as them hell and has made me consider never coming back for holidays.

Except there's a kind of poetry called "free verse" poetry that is taught in schools, where the style is pretty much "whatever you want"

Drill rap is poetry just like a fat woman screaming the dictionary is poetry; Poetry, outside of it being words, is defined with completely subjective qualifications like “invokes emotion” or “has distinctive style”. Of course, these styles of “poetry” suck. Apparently rappers who valorize and encourage senseless violence, political violence, theft, and fraud get to keep their twitter accounts. Why? Because they’re wearing their “artist” hats!

We have proof that both Antifa and white supremacists were in the building, and that a majority of the people there didn’t even enter.

Gotcha. I was worried it was gonna be one of the HololiveEN girls. It’d be sad to see someone like Ame or Kiara be political, let alone hyper-SJW. Even in the best-case scenario where they align perfectly politically with me, it’s kinda uncomfortable to have a cartoon character voice such an issue with such seriousness

The absolute nonsense that these people are trying to fit the square box of the 25th amendment into the round hole of kicking out Trump is astounding. Firstly, open any history book, even the left leaning ones, and you'll find out that the amendment was intended for when the President is LITERALLY incapacitated. As in, he "can't perform the duties of his office" because he's unconscious or kidnapped or something. When you literally read the amendment, it even says that he can continue acting if he sends a letter back saying "Bullshit, I can do my job" and the only way to get him removed again is to have Congress meet AGAIN and gain a 2/3rds vote in favor which would take forever. It just shows how quickly they'll go to manipulating the rules in order to get what they want, and how little they know about how they work.

It’s entirely in bad faith. There’s no good reason to believe that a woman connected to several concentrated groups whose goals were to bomb political institutions ISN’T holding explosives to use for terroristic activities. What else was she doing With them? Fracking? Deep sea fishing?
