Also Israel is killing more queer people than Iran is. Queer Palestinians exist and are dying in a genocide with the rest of the their people. Queer Lebanese people exist and are having their homes and lives destroyed too. When you kill indiscriminately you are killing queer people in the process, as well as numerous other demographics.

It is outrageous what is happening with AI right now, I work for a large company that does contracts with the US government specifically for the VA. Not only did they just lay off a bunch of people but they just announced that not only are we being required to use AI in every step of our workflow they have decided that AI is so great they now have people who have never a day in their life been coders doing development work. The guy whose job it was to create and manage schedules is now being required to use AI to write code and ship it. These AIs are wrong so so so much its crazy that this is the direction we are going in. If you thought things were bad already its about to get way worse.

I am so deeply sorry to all the vets who will be struggling to get the healthcare that they need because of this. We don’t want to do this either but its clear as day they will fire us and replace us with any warm body regardless if that person has actual experience or not. I am looking to leave but the market is complete dog shit and Its been a struggle to get any kind of response for applications.

Yeah I could do that, I have never done it before though which is why I was looking for another remote to use. Are there any good guides/tools out there you would recommend?

lol I just created my gitlab account today to get away from github and after reading this the account has been scheduled for deletion and now I have a new account with Codeberg. When are these dipshits going to learn that we don’t want AI in our workflows? I am capable of breaking things on my own, but at least when I break things I will learn from it.

He never wanted to be CEO of GameStop, in fact he chose someone to do the job but ended up not liking how he was running the company and couldn’t find someone he liked so he took it over himself. He’s not a gamer and is most familiar with Ecommerce so it makes sense why he would rather Ebay over GameStop.

He doesn’t have one he actually doesn’t have any compensation for being CEO.

Ryan Cohen is very strange and uncomfortable.

I don’t think that, but it doesn’t really matter either as numerous CEOs could be described this way.

Public perception of game stop is already poor and he is not helping that.

I don’t see how its poor when they have lines outside their buildings every time a new game/console comes out just like they have since I was a child. I still shop there and so do my friends and family. Maybe there is negative comments online but IRL doesn’t seem that way.

A few quarters of profitability is hardly enough to go on if you are trying to measure long term stability.

We are talking about a company that was started in 1984 and has a recession proof business model that has proven it numerous times. I think they check the long term stability especially since as long as Xbox, Nintendo, Playstation, Steam Consoles and trading cards exist so will GameStop.

Gamestop revenue has never recovered to pre-pandemic levels.

Revenue is down because they have been cutting bloated stores that were not profitable so revenue is down but profits are up which just means they have been cost cutting something that is seen as a benefit to other companies. Also profits lead to more revenue as we see with them trying to purchase ebay, their revenue will be at an all time high if the deal goes through and if it doesn’t they will try and purchase a different company.

Gamestop sells cheap plastic shit, I cannot make myself believe in that.

They primarily sell electronics and collectables with trading cards being the largest part of their collectables. I wouldn’t call my Playstation and my pokemon cards cheap plastic shit, but hey maybes its not something you are into like me so I understand why it doesn’t interest you.

Frankly the whole idea of investing in a company to make personal profit out of it is cynical and rooted in exploitive capitalistic thinking.

You are not wrong there but this is the system we live in, I would love for something different but I would also like to retire one day.

Sure but they are doing well, they are profitable and using that money to grow. Ebay + GameStop merges the physical and online used products space, not to mention both are huge on collectables too. You say I am only seeing what I want to see so enlighten me on what I am missing.

Last I checked when you invest in a company you want them to be profitable and maintain those profits while growing right? IDK why I would be out of touch for liking a company that is doing that, also a company I shop at and have been my whole life.

I mean GameStop is a great investment, they have had 7 positive earnings in a row now and have been able to build up a lot of capital in the process which they are now trying to utilize to acquire other companies like with ebay right now. Maybe this deal doesn’t go through maybe it does but they are clearly trying to make moves to expand. Its been nothing but positive since Ryan Cohen took over as CEO.

They mention that gap even though GameStop has already explained how the deal works. They said the deal is half cash and half stock, so GameStop has $9 billion on hand they can spend and a $20 Billion loan from TD, there you now have the cash needed. As for the stock how it works is GameStop and EBay will become one new company and the EBay shareholders will receive a larger percentage of that company than the GameStop shareholders will. The exact percentage needs to be negotiated but it could be 80% to EBay and 20% to GameStop as an example.

The idea here is that GameStop compliments EBay really well as GS has thousands of physical stores that already know how to handle used products. So an EBay seller can take their products to a GS and to have them graded if needed and to drop off the product so GS handles the shipping. The Buyer of the product now knows that the item has been inspected and graded by an employee giving them confidence and they have the option to pick up at their local GS for cheaper shipping prices at a time when shipping is becoming more expensive. Also the GS board is really good at what they do and could make EBay a more profitable company.

Smaller companies buy larger companies all the time. For example Paramount buying Warner Brothers.

You can literally just say :shitholesite said “very evil shit”. No need to feed clicks to their website.

Which is why he is ok with destroying our environment.

Just as I hate your sin of being a dumb fuck, but I love you as a person still.

This is like the 10th war he has resolved, including the Ukraine war.

I mean some people have started see Luigi, warehouse guy, guy who threw moltov at Sam Altmans house, guy shooting at politicians home for voting in favor of an AI datacenter in their town, and I am sure there are more that I am unaware of too.

Yup, people need to understand its the candidate’s responsibility to get people to come out and vote for them. If they aren’t able to do that people should blame them for being a bad candidate and not trying to reach the masses.

Kamala spent so much effort trying to court republican voters, whom would never vote for her, rather than focusing on the 35% of the population that didn’t vote. Two policy choices would have convinced a good chuck of the non voters to come out, no genocide (This is literally the bare minimum and should be easy) and one of the following: universal healthcare, universal childcare, legalized pot, or a reasonable path to citizenship for immigrants. She refused to try and win in my opinion it should have been such an easy election but she did everything possible to fuck it up and people should be pissed at her and the democrats for doing that, not the people who didn’t want to vote for genocide.

I would also say that you don’t need to be the person we leads a group of armed people or even in that group to begin with. The best thing you can do is think about the resistance you can provide in your daily life and if everyone does the small things that they can it will really add up. Thinking about where you spend your money and avoid any business that props up the fascist government, slowing down your pace at work and making things take longer (assuming you aren’t like a doctor or something that benefits the people), join a mutual aid group and/or donate to one, reduce the amount of oil you consume and take the bus to work one day. There are millions of everyday people and if each one started to do something small it would be huge.

Israel will probably just bomb Iran and everything will continue, they still want this war.
