Look apes. Honestly, the "DD" getting shoved around this sub is getting worse.
A week or two ago, everyone here was up in arms about naked shorts. Rightfully so. It's an illegal practice (to add to the laundry list of actual illegal shit being done by hedgies with AMC, GME, and without a doubt many other stocks).
But clearly those crayons you apes ate last week and the week before didn't put even a single wrinkle on the brains of many of you, because now I see "tHeY sPeNt FiVe HuNdReD MiLLiOn yEsTeRdAY" running through this sub. To say nothing of all the "It's cost them XX BILLION DOLLARS ALREADY. QUIT WHILE YOU'RE BEHIND."
No. No they didn't. They cannot simultaneously naked short and have shares being bought in the same transaction. The two are inconsistent with each other. They also have unrealized losses. They only have cash out of pocket when they cover.
Clearly, we need to get back to fundamentals in this sub. Whether it's new apes arriving, or old apes that never really got a handle on some of the more technical pieces of the situation, it's clear that people on this subreddit are failing to connect some critical dots.
Short Ladder Attacks (aka "ladder attacks") Short ladder attacks are a method of high frequency trading between complicit parties at successively lower prices to rapidly lower the price of a stock. It is a form of market manipulation, and can land people in jail. Ladder attacks require precise timing, and essentially work like a game of ping pong where the ball is a few hundred shares of stock being bounced back and forth at incrementally lower prices.
Why does this matter?
By continually lowering the price by small amounts, in rapid succession, it creates the appearance of downward price pressure. It creates a sentiment that the value of the stock is declining based on market movement when it is, in fact, based on manipulation. This is why you'll see large run ups in price followed by sharp downturns in the price on very low volume.
For example, here's a chunk of AMC trading prices and volumes:
Upward volume to lower volume - night and day difference
The curves are very rough MS Paint curves, and someone that knows calculus far better than I do could actually do an area calculation for the area beneath them that would be the total volume.
Note that the volume to get price up is

If so, mods please delete. Didn't feel different from guessing Coach is actually Dr. Dre or Chris Pratt or whatever, but I defer to someone else's judgement.
In TAA's 2021 post: says he asked Gina if the "single intelligence" is like that hospital show that ended with a kid imagining it in a snow globe.
Ok, I had no clue what that was, why would Gina? I googled, and it's "St. Elsewhere," which ran 1982-88. I've never seen this, so did more googling.
The series finale is as TAA described - the characters name is Tommy Westphall. (Unrelated but interesting - I have come across this theory before, which basically implies due to the sheer amount of crossovers, if St. Elsewhere was all in the mind of this child character... then the bulk of tv shows would also have to be a part of the kid's imagination. ttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Westphall#The_Tommy_Westphall_Universe_Hypothesis )
The actor that played that kid seemed like he was having some pretty decent times with his career, and then quit in the early 2010s to go to school, and is now a psychologist. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chad_Allen_(actor)
I am proposing that TAA could be Chad Allen (or perhaps another actor).
Age mostly matches up... born in 1974.
Don't see anything past 2012 in the Wiki filmography (I didn't dig) and he was possibly already enrolled in 2013 (date of first TAA comment) to get his undergrad degree in psychology, since he graduated in 2015.
Sooooo maybe the original comment was just something to do with a random psychology class assignment?
This could be backed up by TAA saying Jack & Gina are "sort of like college students" - if he was one himself at the time, then it'd make sense to incorporate that detail. I also feel like TAA's writing style tends to waver between normal stream of consciousness, and then actively trying to sound like a not highly educated "regular guy."
TAA alludes to being embarrassed of the videos "they" took of him when he was young ... maybe because he is embarrassed of his child acting roles?
One of which was a guest role on Star Trek TNG, lol. His character is sort of doubly abducted by aliens and then humans.
Back to St. Elsewhere - there is a har

Go post NSFW jokes somewhere else. If I can't tell my kids this joke, then it is not a DAD JOKE.
If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.
Mods... If you exist... Please, stop this madness. Rule #6 should simply not allow NSFW or (wtf) NSFL tags. Also, remember that MINORS browse this subreddit too? Why put that in rule #6, then allow NSFW???
Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.
Thank you,
A Dad.
So far nobody has given me a straight answer

Cred once again my sis wants credit lol
Keep in mind, my son is 4 years old, so everything is an original to him.
I had to work late into the evening yesterday, and he was just going to bed when I got home. I had left home for the office nearly 14 hours prior, had a long day, lots of meetings, traffic, etc.
When I walked through the door, I was exhausted, run down, and starving. My wife hugged me and asked how my day was, and I replied, "Done. It was a good day, but has got me exhausted. I just want to grab a bite and go to bed. I'm hungry."
From my son's bedroom, I hear him shout, "Hi Hungry! Nice to meet you!"
Not only did it make me laugh, but I completely forgot about how hungry and tired I was. I went to his bedroom, and we laughed together about it. It was exactly what I needed.
Edit: Thanks for all the awards, kind strangers! I'll let my son know y'all enjoyed his joke too!
