Watching the GameStop meltdown brought out the economics nerd in me that I lost in high school right around when microbiology seemed like the coolest shit around.
Watch me explain how a Reddit forum is saving the economy but also possibly shutting it down. Don’t get me wrong, the bubble will burst at some point soon, I just hope it swings the pendulum against the hedgefucks.
My favourite part about this entire thing is the public realization that Wall Street isn’t as rational or analytical as people thought, there isn’t really a lot of brainpower going into this as they want you to think. It was, is and has always been a dick-measuring contest among those who have money to throw around. If those are the rules, then let everyone play.
If they keep holding, this would be big for retail investors. But also for brokerage firms as the next wave of experimental, hungry and driven individual investors might not be so kind.
Power to the people. Make them bleed green.
There are two types of people:
Type A: Life is a mess but every app on the phone is categorized into neat folders and knows exactly which folder to navigate to for an app.
Type B: Got life figured out but the phone is an unholy mess waiting to erupt like a dormant volcano. Knows where to find stuff, but anyone else trying to navigate is just heading towards a level 7 migraine.
Did a little soul searching...I am in fact, a narcissistic little shit with no concern for consequences but if someone mentions a cat I will build a shelter with my bare hands and protect it from the elements.
Life just makes so much more sense at 3am.
Can’t explain it, it just does.
Maybe I’m sleep deprived but I probably wouldn’t give a shit since my mind is uninhibited like the members of barenaked ladies.
The weirdest thing about online teaching sessions are that the lecturer is explaining this abstract concept that flies by your head while you lie in bed and check the WhatsApp group where everyone is commenting on his drapes/lighting/interior decoration.
Wei WuXian: *breathes*
Everyone else (mostly Jiang Cheng): Lord Almighty above, please give me the strength not to roll my eyes and strike this man down.
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I’ll head into the kitchen in the dark, get me a glass of water, sigh and whisper ‘hydrated’ into the empty void.
I came here for the jokes, I got indoctrinated into a cursed cult instead.
Wei WuXian:
*Looks for LAN ZHAN all the time in the first life*
*Always chasing after LWJ in the first life*
*Got branded for a dude*
*Always saving and helping LWJ in the first life*
*Seeks him out even after death and reincarnation*
*Constantly giving him ‘eye-fucking invitations’*
I mean he lusts after him worse than any straight couple flirting I’ve seen...it’s a wonder he didn’t make LWJ’s block list.
And LWJ suffers through all of this and more, ever so patient and generous.
I bet if he had a phone, LWJ would be his emergency contact which would of course make JC extra mad.
Even the gods went, you’re not a villainous soul but please go find your man, he’s pining too hard on earth.
Meanwhile, the Untamed:
Two bro’s chilling in a bath tub five feet apart because they’re what? Not Fuckin’ Gay.
“Hey fuckface, get off my property.”
“Not until you return my limited edition Ben 10 watch with the camo strap.”
“Already sold it, what ya gonna do?”
“Hope you like your phone flushed down the toilet.”
Exit stage right.
I’m right and I should say it
Good morning to everyone but Wen Chao. He can get his from the Xuanwu tortoise.
