  @pixie_girl3 you're entirely missing the point. we don't have trouble with female protagonists. think about Aloy from Horizon, or Laura Croft from Tomb Raider. we're just sick and tired of the cultural engineering. They turn Thor into a woman, ruined the Star wars franchise, same with Amazon and the Lord of the rings TV show. Mass Effect Andromeda killed their franchise as well. gamers just don't want to be preached at. we don't want to be told how we're supposed to think and feel about anything.

  My earnings tier list: 1 month returns: S Tier: $SNDK: +31.4% $GOOGL: -7.2% (due to $80B capital raise) A Tier: $AMD: +28.1% $PLTR: +3.6% $META: +3.1% $ARM: +85.0% B Tier: $AMZN: -6.3% $MSFT: +1.9% C Tier: $AAPL: +8.3% $MELI: -12.6% F Tier: $CRWV: -16.0% Directionally, overall I'd say it's a positive read-through of earnings + broader environment. Small sample size ofc. Apple being up 8.3% is the most surprising one tbh. Probably because they're getting included in the AI trade now via new Siri features / AI agents running on Apple hardware. Amazon being down 6.3% is quite abnormal too. Macro headwinds e.g. higher rates + some institutional selling are the factors that come to mind. CoreWeave...lol.

  A Brief History of... (@_abriefhistory) reported 8 minutes ago

  A (Brief) History of the Garden Hose The garden hose was designed to fight fires. It has since been used primarily to fight weeds. The first flexible hoses for water were made in the 17th century from leather, stitched by sailmakers, used by fire brigades in Amsterdam as early as 1673. Garden use followed fire use — once a flexible water delivery system existed, applying it to plants was obvious. The garden hose kink is a problem that has existed for as long as the garden hose and has not been solved. Anti-kink hoses arrived in the 20th century. Flat hoses appeared. Expanding hoses that fill with water and contract empty appeared in the 2010s. The expanding hose is the most-returned gardening product on Amazon, with complaints including "burst after two uses" and "reduced to a tangled pile of plastic." The kink, a 400-year-old problem, remains the preferred alternative.

  @MrJoeMcBob I wish they would not charge shipping, I am too used to Amazon (I know I am terrible) or buying in stores, so I just can’t get over adding another $12 to an already expensive item.

  Everyone is chasing the next AI stock. Meanwhile, one of the most impressive growth stories on the planet is hiding in plain sight. $MELI Most people call it the Amazon of Latin America. I think that’s selling it short. Because Amazon isn’t a bank. MercadoLibre is. Amazon doesn’t issue loans. MercadoLibre does. Amazon doesn’t process billions in payments across countries where much of the population has historically been underbanked. MercadoLibre does. That’s why I think investors looking at MELI as an e-commerce company are missing the bigger picture. The real bull case isn’t online shopping. The real bull case is becoming the financial infrastructure of an entire continent. Think about where the United States was 20 years ago. More online shopping. More digital payments. More mobile banking. More consumer credit. Now imagine those trends are still in the early innings. That’s Latin America. Every year more people move from cash to digital payments. Every year more merchants move online. Every year more businesses need payment processing, logistics, advertising, lending, and banking services. And MercadoLibre sits in the middle of all of it. The flywheel is absurd. A customer shops on MercadoLibre. They use Mercado Pago. The merchant processes payments through Mercado Pago. The merchant buys ads on MercadoLibre. The merchant takes out a loan from Mercado Crédito. The delivery gets fulfilled through Mercado’s logistics network. One customer. Five revenue streams. That’s not an e-commerce business. That’s an ecosystem. And ecosystems are incredibly difficult to disrupt. Amazon learned that. Apple learned that. Microsoft learned that. The deeper customers get pulled into the network, the harder it becomes to leave. Now ask yourself a simple question. What happens if Latin America’s middle class continues growing over the next decade? What happens if digital payments continue replacing cash? What happens if consumer lending expands? What happens if online shopping penetration moves closer to U.S. levels? MercadoLibre wins every one of those trends. At the same time. That’s what makes this company so interesting. The market loves stories about robots, AI, quantum computing, and rockets. I do too. But sometimes the best investments are much simpler. Find a dominant company. In a growing market. With multiple ways to win. And let time do the heavy lifting. That’s the bull case for MELI. Not that it becomes the Amazon of Latin America. That it becomes something even bigger. The commerce platform. The payment network. The lender. The logistics provider. The digital backbone of an entire region.

  This reminds me of when the local shopping centers were having such a problem with crowd that they started reporting it in the news. news: “Mall owners have hired a crow expert to manage the issue.” me: *thinking* They have crow experts? news: (OTS reporter interviewing the hired expert) What’s the strategy? expert: Right now, we’re driving around the property (points to comically large speaker on the roof of a VW Golf) blasting a recording of a crow distress call, that gets ‘em moving.” me: *thinking* Crow distress call? To the internet! Amazon had recently expanded offerings from books to music. *checking Amazon* “Crow distress call recording on CD” *typing* How… do you… record… a crow distress call? Internet: “1) Capture a crow. 2) Turn crow upside down and shake. 3) Record.” True story.

  @Pirat_Nation The announcement that 007 First Light from IO Interactive has moved 2.2 million copies and generated around 150 million dollars in revenue after that 1.5 million unit first day surge is being sold as straightforward proof of a major commercial and critical win, yet when you actually sit inside the full set of facts including the reported development cost exceeding 200 million dollars across seven years of work the way these particular numbers are chosen and amplified and the exact language wrapped around them it becomes clear this is operating on the same gaslighting logic track that Assassins Creed Shadows followed where early positive signals were deployed to create an impression of overwhelming success broad embrace and vindication for the creative direction even as the deeper financial mechanics and eventual corporate behavior revealed a more calculated effort to control the narrative and buy breathing room rather than deliver an unfiltered account of how the release was truly landing. Start with the concrete sales picture itself because that is where the spin begins its work. IO Interactive announced 1.5 million copies sold inside the first twenty four hours which is genuinely the strongest opening they have ever recorded and beats the launch pace of any Hitman title they have shipped which matters because this is their first major original project outside that series in a long time and the James Bond license carries real name recognition that can drive day one purchases even from people who are only casually interested in the films. Steam data from analysts put roughly five hundred thousand of those units on PC alone generating something like twenty five million dollars there before platform cuts and the overall estimate now sits at 2.2 million total copies with 150 million dollars in revenue mostly concentrated on PlayStation 5 at around fifty five percent of the total. Those figures are real and they arrived quickly which is why the company and outlets covering the story are able to call it the fastest selling game in IO Interactive history and one of the stronger openings of 2026. At the same time the development budget has been reported at over two hundred million dollars which immediately changes the math because that number does not include the substantial additional spend on marketing a Bond title or any ongoing live support costs or licensing arrangements with the rights holders and when you factor in typical platform revenue shares that can run thirty percent or higher the 150 million dollars in top line revenue shrinks considerably before anyone even talks about actual profit or recouping the full investment. For a project this expensive many single player AAA releases need to reach lifetime sales well into the four or five million range or higher before they cross into clearly profitable territory especially when the goal is not just breaking even but funding sequels or studio growth and 2.2 million in the first week while respectable is still front loaded in the way almost every story driven game is with the biggest spike happening immediately and then tapering as players finish the campaign which in this case appears to be in the twelve to sixteen hour range based on how long to beat style tracking. The sharp drops in Steam concurrent players that some observers have pointed to as a crash are in reality the normal pattern for a completed single player experience rather than evidence of live service collapse and the majority of sales appear to be console driven where concurrent tracking is less visible anyway so the raw launch data does contain legitimate positives for a studio of IO Interactive size stepping out with a new IP flavored Bond origin story. The gaslighting enters through the specific way these numbers are framed and the loaded phrases attached to them because the press materials and coverage do not simply report the sales they actively construct a story of unqualified triumph and consensus. Phrases like overwhelming global enthusiasm broad appeal and successful execution of IO Interactive vision turn a solid opening into proof that any skepticism was misplaced and that the direction taken with a younger reimagined Bond has already been embraced at scale. The strong critic scores in the high eighties on Metacritic and around ninety on OpenCritic are repeatedly paired with the sales claims to create the impression that both professionals and the wider audience are aligned in celebration and that the game stands as one of the most successful releases of the year without qualifiers around what success actually requires for a two hundred million dollar title or how much of the revenue will ultimately remain after costs. This framing does not lie about the first day or first week movement but it selectively emphasizes the metrics that support the victory narrative while downplaying the budget context the front loaded nature of the sales and the difference between gross revenue and net profitability which is the same selective emphasis that appeared with Assassins Creed Shadows when Ubisoft leaned on player count milestones rather than direct sales figures and described performance as overperforming expectations even while independent tracking suggested more modest results in the low millions range and the company continued to face broader financial pressure and restructuring moves. In both cases the early positive signals are deployed not just to celebrate what happened but to lock in a public perception that makes later adjustments or quieter admissions of shortfall feel surprising or external rather than the predictable outcome of high cost ambitious projects in a market where many releases need sustained long tail performance to truly succeed. What makes this pattern function as gaslighting is the step by step way it shapes reality for the audience over time beginning with the flood of early positive data that establishes the game as a hit in the collective conversation then moving to the elevation of critic validation as evidence that the vision was correct and any pushback on tone casting or design choices is therefore coming from the wrong side of history followed by the use of that locked in success story to support real business moves such as partnership discussions or internal morale and finally the delayed moment when actual lifetime sales retention curves or studio headcount decisions reveal that the opening numbers while real did not automatically translate into the scale of victory the language had implied. During the first phases anyone raising the budget math or noting that 2.2 million units on a project this expensive is a promising start rather than automatic proof of generational dominance gets positioned as overly negative or out of step with the data and the critic scores and by the time corporate actions like targeted restructuring or scaled back plans appear the earlier triumphant framing has already done its work of making those outcomes seem like unforeseen shifts rather than developments that were always possible given the cost structure and market realities. Assassins Creed Shadows followed nearly identical steps with pre launch financial distress and controversy around its protagonist casting being met with strong defensive positioning that the game would deliver and post launch claims of strong player engagement being used to suggest the direction had been validated even as the overall company picture continued to involve cuts and the independent sales estimates remained more modest than the savior level performance some had hoped for. The effect in both cases is to make the audience doubt their own reading of the situation in the moment and then later feel the rug pulled when the business consequences surface without the earlier narrative ever being directly corrected. The incentives driving this approach are straightforward once you look at them without the marketing gloss because a studio and its partners have every reason to present the strongest possible version of early results in order to maintain momentum for future projects protect the perceived value of a major license like Bond and keep talent and external relationships intact during the uncertain period right after launch when true profitability is still unknown. IO Interactive coming off years of Hitman success has built a reputation for quality stealth action and this Bond title represents a significant expansion of scope and ambition so the pressure to demonstrate that the move has paid off quickly is real especially with Amazon and MGM involved in the wider ecosystem. At the same time the actual game appears to have landed well with both critics and players based on the Metacritic user scores sitting around eight point seven with strong positive percentages which suggests the quality concerns that sometimes accompany these high budget releases are not the primary issue here unlike some more contested titles where review gaps or player pushback were more pronounced. The spin is less about covering up a bad game and more about accelerating the conclusion that the commercial and creative bets have already been fully vindicated when the data so far supports a promising opening that still requires time and additional performance to prove it can carry the full weight of its production costs. This is why the pattern repeats across different studios and different levels of actual quality because the short term value of controlling the narrative buying time and shaping expectations often outweighs the longer term cost of eroded trust once gamers learn to treat first week victory laps as standard operating procedure rather than definitive proof. What ends up happening over repeated cycles is that the audience becomes increasingly attuned to watching what studios do after the initial wave rather than what they say during it because the gaslighting logic ultimately relies on the gap between the immediate celebratory framing and the slower arrival of full financial and operational reality. With 007 First Light the strong reviews and solid launch numbers give it a better foundation than some previous examples but the same structural pressures around high budgets front loaded sales and the need to justify ambitious scope remain in place so the question becomes whether the game sustains momentum through word of mouth sales periods and any post launch content or whether the trajectory follows the more common path of a respectable opening that does not automatically scale to the level the early language suggested. The comparison to Assassins Creed Shadows holds because both cases show the same mechanism at work where positive early signals are used to establish a story of success and broad acceptance that then makes any subsequent adjustments appear as surprises rather than outcomes that were always within the range of possibility given the costs involved and the selective way the data was presented from the start. Cooking through the entire sequence from the first day announcement through the revenue estimates the budget context the critical reception the normal single player player count behavior and the business incentives reveals a consistent pattern of narrative management that prioritizes short term perception control over complete transparency and that pattern is what makes the whole thing feel like gaslighting even when parts of the underlying performance are genuinely positive.

  AB Invests (@all8rite) reported 25 minutes ago

  @saxena_puru @_rob_anderson There are certainly some bubble-like characteristics in today’s AI trade: concentrated leadership, aggressive capital spending, and elevated expectations. But the biggest difference between today and 2000 is that the leading companies are generating enormous amounts of real revenue, earnings, and cash flow. During the dot-com era, many internet companies had unproven business models and little to no profits, while infrastructure spending was largely speculative. Today, Nvidia is generating tens of billions in quarterly revenue, and Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta are investing heavily because AI workloads are already driving demand for compute. That doesn’t mean the risks aren’t real. The chart becomes more relevant if AI spending peaks, returns on AI investments fall short of expectations, hyperscalers slow capex growth, or semiconductor earnings begin to decelerate. In that scenario, semiconductor stocks could easily experience a 25-40% correction without requiring a full-blown 2000-style collapse.

  Bill Ackman says investors are making the same mistake as 2000 — chasing chips and semiconductors while ignoring quality. He owns Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft. He calls them undervalued. In 2000, investors called Berkshire “old stuff” while chasing internet stocks. Berkshire traded at its lowest valuation ever. Then the bubble burst and Berkshire tripled. Ackman thinks $MSFT, $AMZN, and $META are today’s Berkshire. 💰 YOUR MOVE: Ackman bought $MSFT in February after earnings. It’s up since but still trades at a discount to pure-play AI names despite owning the largest stake in OpenAI and generating $196B in operating cash flow. The rotation starting today — Dow up 800, Nasdaq down — is exactly the trade Ackman described. If you’ve been overweight semis and underweight Big Tech platforms, today’s price action is the signal to rebalance. $MSFT , $AMZN , $META are the quality names getting left behind. Ackman says that’s temporary. History says he’s usually right about this pattern. @Blackintus
