Comment GenX 1974 (Score 1) 284

Duh. Internet is nice to have, but I do not like having it crammed down my throat as the only option for common activities like applying, ordering, forms, communication, etc. AND I'm too old to work in Information Technology according to some and mention cobol in the same breath, wtf. So I don't make good money and it doesn't save me time usually as it tries to monopolize all of my time. No, I liked the oversized calculation devices when it was a convenience or nicety, not my leash, homing device, pacifier, antagonist, excuse, etc.

Bankruptcy made me homeless for a short time until I could get on my feet, Northeast USA.The shelters and missions I spent time at were mostly mentally ill people who rebel against the system and chemical dependency of drug or alcohol. Only a small percentage were divorcees. Can't say it was lack of education as I met a few masters degrees along the way. If they want off the streets they'll get off the streets. Most of them are doing the limbo to see how low they can go by moving from the shelter to camping in a tent and so fotth. We say they are a problem, they don't see themselves as a problem and like their lifestyle. /shrug Not my cup of tea and wrong direction as I prefer to improve society.

Warp is good, AI built into prompt to ask it real world questions of what the command is for the platform. Rust fast. Blocks for scroll back and current block stays at bottom. popup tabbing for selection, etc. Not just an old vt100. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.warp.dev%2F Starship with warp is just neat. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstarship.rs%2F

GME was shorted with 120+/-% of the available shares which don't exist (as wallstreet does not play fair) and hurt the forces by billions that tried to drive the business in to the ground / bankruptcy. I can't speak for GME or what they've done with the investment opportunity. But AMC was in a similar position and being picked on and trying to be driven out of the business. They capitalized on the faith of their mass retail investors and puled their collective fanny out of the fire and doing quite well. If you invest in the future and not their past and not play pump and dump it may work out. But high and sell low only works if your short the position, going long thats bad advice to take your losses. Investors and traders are not the same species. I am not a financial advisor.
