Reddit files to list IPO on NYSE under the ticker RDDT

I will short the ever-loving shit out of that stock. This is a no brainer.

It’s a TERRIBLE investment. The business model is completely flawed and dependent upon assumptions that there will be only positive growth in the user base.

Google is going to use Reddit to train its AI. That software is going to immediately become a smug, whiny, racist, pedophile femboy.

I look forward to capitalizing on this completely predictable sunbaked diaper.

can anyone tell me the justification for putting Samuel Bankman-fried in prison for 25 years but Trump gets a fine? Is it federal vs. state?

I understand what you’re saying but the logic is a little flawed.

Yes, they both committed fraud.

SBF defrauded the crypto community, his investors, and FTX users.

Trump defrauded lenders, property insurers, and various tax authorities (and via that tax fraud, the taxpayers of NY and possibly the USA.)

SBF was charged criminally and found guilty. I assure you, the civil cases are coming against SBF. And the plaintiffs will most likely win those civil cases.

Trump was charged civilly and found guilty. I assure you, the criminal cases are coming against Trump. And the plaintiffs will most likely lose those criminal cases.

That’s the true difference.

Trump loses bid for mistrial in New York fraud case

Reply in thread

Both the banks AND the people of New York.

He would over inflate the value of the properties in order to take out massive loans using the properties as collateral. So when it came to financing, his properties were cited as being extremely valuable. These lies defrauded the banks and lenders.

Then when it came time to pay taxes on the properties, he would massively deflate the values so he paid a fraction of the taxes on them. These lies defrauded the people of New York State as the beneficiaries of state taxation.

That’s who he defrauded (in this particular lawsuit.)

Multiple D.C. LGBTQ+ bars pull Jack Daniel's orders over distiller's retreat from diversity & inclusion

Like they mention in the article, I also recommend the Uncle Nearest brand.

Uncle Nearest (his name was Nearest Green) was a slave who worked with Jack Daniels to create his famous whiskey. He was (I believe) the first black Master Distiller.

His descendants have created their own distillery. His great-great-granddaughter is now their Master Blender and man are those blends good. I went on the tour last year - highly recommend if you’re ever in Tennessee.

Trump White House Told DOJ to Wait Until After Midterms to Push for Abortion Pill Ban

This was always coming.

First mifepristone/misoprostol will be removed from pharmacies.

Then Plan-B mysteriously disappears from shelves - the excuse will be that it shouldn’t be OTC, it requires a prescription. And those will become super ultra mega restricted. Anyone prescribing it will be scrutinized.

Then hormonal birth control pills will be declared too dangerous - they’ll say that stroke and cardiac risks need to be “reassessed.”

That’s their plan.

Andrew Tate indicted for trafficking minors in Romania

I get it and he should totally reap what he sowed.

I think we as a society should not normalize this whole casual talk of prison rape.

I’m not calling you out personally. Please don’t take it that way.

My comment is that incarceration should be about rehabilitation. Our system is not - it’s geared towards punishment. And the whole prison rape talk reinforces that. Not to mention rape in any context is dehumanizing. These shit-ass Tate brothers are evil as fuck but they are human and should be treated as such. IMO a society should be measured by how they treat the most vulnerable - this includes the unhoused, victims, and the incarcerated.

I don’t mean to soapbox here, but I think it’s worth trying to change the conversation when it comes up.
