What if you short the market?

Putting a lot of money into shorts (money you can barrow mind you), is essentially massively selling stocks you don’t have with the promise of buying them back later.

If a lot of rich people do this, it will trigger a panic sell, get the price low, they buy back the “barrows stocks” at cheaper rate and now they have profit and some people have sold, so the stock is lower.

They can now buy more stocks and we’re back to the first step but with the rich having a higher share than before cause of the panic sellers.

Not only that, I’ve tried pitching the fediverse to right wing people, but they didn’t bite.

Even the crypto bros that were all about decentralization couldn’t see why a decentralized social media platform was superior.

This also didn’t matter for people who care about “free speech”.

You think the allure of being fully independent and having your own instance would be right up their alley given how they value independence, but nope.

Seriously? Why isn’t there a right wing instance? My guess is that a right wing person can’t fathom owning something that benefits others which doesn’t give them back profit.

It’s gonna be the golden age of piracy ya’ll.

Time and time again they keep “fixing” piracy with good access (Netflix, steam) and then spend the next decade(s) ruining it.

V for vendetta is my go to for a political movie.

Some thought that cartoonish villains taking over western countries while the rest of the world went to shit was far fetched but here we are.

While I haven’t convinced anyone, I have seen things shift to a more class conscience level.

Luigi might have been the turning point. Slowly right wing spaces are turning anti rich.

I haven’t been able to convince anyone, but I’ve gotten people to agree if I just focus on “I want this in my country cause it would benefit me as a working class man”.

So imo it’s less about going head on and more about finding something you could agree with and just solidifying that, if they are gonna move left it’s gonna happen slowly by them observing their life.

Everytime I see limewire I feel left out.

Where are my Kaaza hommies at??

The entire article reads like:

No one is pointing out that this was inevitable result of having more options.

When I was a kid, sure we had TV and video games, but they weren’t much. There was no big library, all the better graphics games were recent, and realistically you got a few games a year.

Me and my friends went to the movies cause there honestly wasn’t much better things to do. Having a home theatre meant having a tiny screen and a handful of movies you’ve seen many times if you happen to have a VCR. TV reruns were super old and had 5 mins of ads every 15 mins.

Did they really expect teenagers to be desperate to see a new flic when it’s no longer the only way to see new content?

6 was what I ended up with after considering all options before I went fully digital.

The biggest problem with AI is that it’s the brut force solution to complex problems.

Instead of trying to figure out what’s the most power efficient algorithm to do artificial analysis, they just threw more data and power at it.

Besides the fact of how often it’s wrong, by definition, it won’t ever be as accurate nor efficient as doing actual thinking.

It’s the solution you come up with the last day before the project is due cause you know it will technically pass and you’ll get a C.

Is the cat’s name snowball 3?

I’d say it’s 10% bird flu and 90% companies raising prices in unison because they can blame bird flu.

Why yes, there was no consequences during covid so the companies are gonna keep doing this until there are consequences.

Remember, there was the bread price fixing in Canada too, yeah, feels like such a long time ago

Is it because the AI has to avoid certain topics?

“It’s not our fault our AI sucks, you made the poor thing quit”

Courage or shamelessness?

I know but it’s only 2025.

I feel like shit that was suppose to happen in 2040 is happening now and I just wish I had a little bit more time to get my shit together.

Really? Cause I was thinking climate solving, fusion powered sex robots.

The smart phone doesn’t do one thing, why shouldn’t my robot?

Well all we know is that the guy on the left doesn’t know, or maybe he prefers it that way.
