There is no reason to get down when the price is on a downtrend and thereβs little reason to get up when the price is on an uptrend except at the increasing chance that the upward movement is threatening forced liquidations and forced closing of short positions.
Otherwise all thatβs happening is weβre buying moon tickets at made up, arbitrary prices that are completely divorced from the real world or the real state of GameStop.
Thereβs no way to know when it will finally pop, but when it does we can be reasonably sure it will come out of nowhere and be fast and violent. Anyone not already on the rocket will be left behind.
Thatβs why Iβve bought at pretty much every price point over the last year. All price points are fake and hugely suppressed compared to where itβs going. I donβt know when itβs going, but I do know that I want as many moon tickets as possible in my possession when it does go. I was willing to pay a premium for that, Iβm positively giddy at being able to buy them at $116.65.
Edit: Iβm not saying that when the price hits the thousands itβs time to start selling, Iβm saying when the price hits the thousands it will no longer be under the control of the shorts and thus will signify the beginning of Moass.
I think they could have survived Geri's exit if not for the long hiatus they did. If you look at the numbers, their first single post Geri, "Goodbye", was a big hit. It even did well in the US. By the time, they returned with "Holler", the group lost a lot of its hype. They were still big in the UK but the song under-performed everywhere else. It didn't even chart in the Hot 100.
Geri was the excuse but it was not the main reason. I mean, look at how Headlines performed. It was their first song not to reach top 10.
The Hepburns were once a cool band.
They were part of the C86 scene, one of the most pivotal moments in indie history. They released The Magic Of The Hepburns on Cherry Red, one of the most watched labels. They had a Peel session, and if you were around in the 80s, you'd know that nothing was a bigger badge of coolness than a Peel session.
Time forgot The Hepburns. There's numerous reasons for this. They refused to leave their small Welsh town. Their label decided to stop releasing music entirely. The master tapes for their second album, Road Movie, disappeared when their band manager died in a car accident.
It would take 12 years before The Hepburns made a follow-up to their debut. By that time, it was 2000 -- the last thing hipsters wanted to hear was a jangle pop album.
Yet, right after that follow-up, The Hepburns kept releasing new albums. Between 2000 and now, that's 10 LPs, 1 EP, and 2 singles. In 2017, Road Movie finally got released.
Often when I hear a band, I ask myself, "Would their music still stand up if it was removed from the hype cycle?"
I've been listening to The Hepburns' latest album Architecture of the Ages since November. Not once have I got tired of it. I listen to them on my FiiO, I listen to them in the car, I listen to them on my turntable. When they're not on, I find myself humming their tunes.
One time, I was at the grocery store, and without realizing it, I found myself bursting out into song: "Seagulls on a frozen lake / A vision of hell by William Blake..." and then stopped myself when the elderly lady at the cash register was leering at me.
I keep wondering to myself, "What is it about this band that has a hold of me? Why can't I be without them for a single day? Why am I like a shameless addict indulging in the audio version of crack?"
There's vocal harmonies, key changes, bridges. When was the last time you heard a new album with a good bridge? The instrumentation has variety with trumpets, organ, flute, and more. Then there's the guitar. Even with the compositional precision of each perfectly placed note, it jangles.
I started wondering if The Hepburns just have this effect on me, so I asked my flannel-wearing metalhead friend to come over. He should be someone who hates Architecture of Ages, right? I eased him into it, gave him an IPA. A half hour passed.
Then I put on the vinyl. At first he cursed me out. "What is this shit? This sounds like the soundtrack of two moose mating."
"Just wait..."
... keep reading on reddit β‘Around the time he did that to Rihanna, he was still pretty relevant and popular but since then he kinda got lost in the media and not really talked about anymore. He had a few popular songs, one including the rapper Lil Dicky, and he's had a few publicity stunts like fake banging Piru and becoming a cochise addict. But aside from these things, he hasn't really been in the popular media anymore, let alone making any chart songs. What do yall think?
Relevant detail: My brother and I both think OG Judas is the superior Judas.
So it happens we were rehearsing βJudasβ Deathβ and he was doing Judas, and we were playing through the chart when we got to the βI have been spattered with innocent bloodβ part, where we both went βWait! Doesnβt he say βsplatteredβ?β
Convinced we were right, we ran directly to the original recording (see detail above) and, lo and behold, Murray sang βspatteredβ! But wait, here comes the line for the second timeβ¦ and he sings βsplatteredβ!
I have been spattered with innocent blood
I should be dragged through the slime and the mud
I have been splattered with innocent blood
I should be dragged through the slime and the slime and the slime and the mud
We checked several other charts and heard many other Judases (Judasi?) perform the song and, right enough, they all sing βspatteredβ both times. We eventually went back to rehearsing and corrected the chart to say βsplatteredβ because βScrew it, OG Judas is the dopestβ.
tl;dr: Murray probably messed one line of the song up and we have played the OG recording so many times we learned the song wrong and, as a homage to the 1970 album, weβll continue singing βsplatteredβ first like a fun little easter egg.
Thanks for reading!
Sorry I was on moot.
This line from the new event has been going around the whole day, and between RN fans doomposting and KMS fans enjoying every second of it (including a certain moderator that likes trolling the other group a bit too much) this subreddit has become even more unbearable than usual.
But i'm happy to announce that... said line is utter bullshit.
The Chinese script for the event, aka the original story has no mention of Scapa Flow, at all.All that's happening in that scene is Tirpitz telling to FdG what her and others were doing in the first chapter of Operation Siren, when a singularity appeared in the Bermudas, where a singularity previously appeared (during Ashen Simulacrum). The other factions didn't react because nothing of major importance came out after the raid on Scapa Flow from the event Aurora Noctis.
Soooo... what happened here? well, this isn't the first time an event has been rewritten by one of the 2 other servers but, usually, EN's mistakes are simple translation errors or messy locaziations, with the random shitty remark added every now and then (I'm looking at you, Line about not being an hotel from Mirror Involution), while JP Changes are... much more drastic (I'm working on a post about that, stay tuned).
So whose fault is it this time? well, we dont know yet, but im 99% sure it's JP again, we are currently just waiting confirmation from the JP wiki after they add the event script on the site.There are other mistakes in the script we currently have access too, like Marco Polo actually referring to herself instead of Vichya, because the characters for Vichya in CN and "Holy See" are read the same way.
Not much to the story. I was assistant manager in a warehouse for a clothing company (for the opposite of short and fat men), and on what I thought were good terms with the owner.
Last April I found out I was pregnant. I had been trying for years and sought help at a fertility clinic, so this pregnancy was a pretty big deal. I told my employer around 6 weeks due to bad morning sickness, and he was happy for me.
A couple months later the topic of maternity leave came up, and he asked how long I intended to take. I live in Canada, and we are entitled to 12 months of maternity leave and paid 55% of our wages, or 18 months and paid 33%. I thought this is what he meant, so I told him I intended to take 12 months.
βThe whole 12 months?β Yeah, of course! Itβs my first child and I couldnβt imagine going back to work beforehand.
βAfter a year away and a year of company growth, Iβd be worried about becoming irrelevant if I were you.β
That comment caught me off guard. He went on to explain that I should only take a couple of months, and that I should be involved in weekly meetings so I donβt miss out and βno one forgets I existβ. What the fuck?
This comment, paired with other ill treatment related to my pregnant, made me decide to take an early pregnancy leave (legally they could not do anything to terminate, in my province Iβm legally entitled to taking an unpaid leave 17 weeks before my due date). I was due in December and I left in September, as soon as I could.
I also took the 18 months. I wouldnβt be back until March 2023.
I canβt fathom that my boss believed my worth for the company outweighed the precious time I have to bond and care for my childβs first year of life. That somehow Iβd find my position in the company more important than this. The sheer fucking entitlement is atrocious. I intend to quit closer to the end of my maternity leave and find something else.
Being irrelevant never felt so good.
So, I've noticed that whenever anyone mentions that Mark Hamill had to resort to thinking of his character as 'Jake' rather than 'Luke' to justify why he's not doing what Luke would do, defenders of Rian Johnson have a new defense. They point out that Hamill himself has said he regrets explaining a simple acting technique because people are using it to mock the character. Then the defenders try to say that Hamill doesn't think his use of 'Jake' justifies mocking the TLJ version of the character.
But what Hamill regrets is irrelevant to what he has revealed.
Think back to December 2017 and the major argument was with people who were confused by the passive, mopey Luke we got VS Disney defenders trying to bulldoze over objection to rah-rah the idea that this was all perfectly in keeping with previous installments of Luke.
No matter how much we pointed out the stark differences, these defenders refused to acknowledge that TLJ's Luke was a deviation.
Then the 'Jake' video broke!
Oh wow. He had said these things months before, but they went viral on Youtube after the movie came out and didn't really affect the debate until a couple weeks later, but once it got airtime it changed the whole conversation.
Suddenly the snowjob had to end. The actor himself was pointing out that HE saw the bizarre and serious deviations. The defenders could no longer pretend that this was all the same character. They had to shift their arguments to justify the differences rather than to deny them. It fundamentally changed the dialogue around this movie for someone as high up as Mark Hamill to point out the emperor had no robes.
So instead of the complainers and critics of TLJ getting sidelined and ignored, the argument has grown so much over the years that Hamill's reveal might have shifted the cultural debate to the point where most people can openly state their dislike for TLJ.
Hamill doesn't deny the truth of the statement he made about Jake. He is sorry that the truth he revealed kept an argument going when he doesn't like fan arguments.
It's like when grandma slips and reveals your 4-month-old puppy wasn't sent to a farm 10 years ago but was put down because your stepfather didn't like it. Grandma regrets spoiling Christmas dinner, but the truth of the wrong that was done isn't negated by her regret. And you anger is still justified.
Hamill's statement showed fans that they weren't crazy for being bewildered by the strange 'Luke' they saw on screen when TLJ's de

I am easy to shop for - I have a ton of well known interests and hobbies that can be shopped for at any price point. My IL's got me a pair of really ugly gloves from a secondhand store, to which my MIL said "they fit me well so I thought they'd be a good fit for you." My MIL is significantly smaller than myself, and takes every opportunity to mention it.
Did anyone else get irrelevant and/or insulting gifts?
You have a daughter.... Cool. So what? You want a cookie?
How about before you had a daughter? What if you didn't? What if you had a son.
What do you think this adds to the conversation?
Why is you having a daughter so important about women's issues?
What if you didn't? Didn't you notice the other half of humanity before you had a daughter?
What changed?
Didn't you have a mother? Nobody on this earth was born without a mother.
What does you having female relatives contribute to the validity of female issues like rape, harassment, stalking, sexism and everything else?
When I was sexually harassed nobody stopped to think: "Holup, she has a father!" lol
Mothers, sisters, daughters, wives, girlfriends why do women have to be related to a man to be considered valid, valuable, relatable, protected or cared for?
I'll say it again, because it's worth repeating: women represent half of humanity.
No man needs to bring up his family relations with "females" when talking about inequality or outrage.
No moral behavior needs to stem directly from your personal experience to be valid, just or necessary.
Where do they come from, these men who feel particularly entitled to speak on sexist issues with a "higher" authority as a father of a daughter?
Nobody cares about your daughter, just as nobody cares about my father.
Not much more left to say, perfect texture and the taste was so strong and perfect. I was genuinely stunned and had to tell someone, I apologise.
