Engineer. Husband. Researcher. Proud XXXX Gamestop shareholder. I post commentary on that saga. Sometimes post political memes. Anti-MAGA/DNC/Russia/Hamas/IDF. Some flag emoji bio types need to be less reactive, please. If any of that triggers you, bye 👋

Wildly important information for anyone who cares about their financial freedom. This shit is going to meltdown so badly it's going to genuinely ruin millions of lives.

The whole "let's pretend Trump isn't a king and libs overreact to everything" shit by conservatives is so fucking stupid and exhausting, because the tariffs are the literal effect of a king you can observe at your gorcery store.

Fuck off, do have a king, you dumb fucking fucks

Let's just let billionaire criminals blow up this country though and then let money printer go brrrr right

Sam @samnoack.bsky.social · 1d

America has not been a serious nation for some time, and our unwillingness to prosecute "complicated crime" is going to be our undoing. It's going to be complicated to explain to you all why everything costs a million dollars and random meme stock owners are "middle class billionaires" someday.

A lot of them really do believe in hell though, so I love rubbing it in on them. It really drives them nuts when you start quoting Bible verses saying how damned they are

No, FOX "conservatives," you didn't "sell" your soul to the devil, you tattoo'd the mark of the beast on yourself, swore allegiance to the devil, already let him use your soul as a home decoration, and are probably hellbound beyond turning back according to almost any religious doctrine lol.

Market corruption around Gamestop is not a boy who cried wolf situation, it is more like everyone realizing we are actually surrounded by wolves in 2021, and everyone just got collectively used to that fact by 2025 lol. Whatever happens now most people will be like "eh, that's just how it works."

Not really ironically - the monarchy sucks. Not many young people there support its existence

Kick him out of the royal lodge jesus christ.

People get kicked out of homeless encampents for less.

I wanna see what happens when he has to survive on the normal streets with us normies lmao.

Trump pardoning George Santos is so fucking bewilderingly stupid I have nothing to even say about it other than it is a clear attempt to just flood the zone with shit, and therefore I will not comment about it further.

Correct

Malls are just very lame at the moment, in general

Sam @samnoack.bsky.social · 3d

All gone, instead now just endless rows of stuffy sounding store names that all sell a slightly different selection of extremely overpriced shirts, dresses, or handbags that are all shockingly expensive yet somehow packed with 16 year old girls, often accompanied by questionably older men.

Where are the toys r us? Where is the hippy aesthetic place? Where are the skateboard shops? Where do I get a cool selection of electric scooters? Where is the fun game store outside of the Gamestop?
Where is the airsoft/tactical store? Where is the antiques store? Where is the cool handmade shit?

Malls in most towns just slowly dying and turning into one stop shops for rich corpo bros or their extremely spoiled kids really goes to show the bifurcation of the USA economy as a whole.

Sometimes I go into one to find a nice corpo dress shirt and am like "wait it's ALL corpo dress shirt stores?"

Is GameStop becoming modern-day Berkshire? Early investor says Wall Street is missing its second act | Investorsobserver

Once a meme stock punchline, GameStop (GME) is quietly building a fortress balance sheet and a patient, Buffett-like playbook for its next act.

Like we are seriously just gonna "nuh uh, libtard" our way into oranges costing $5/each, while the billionaire class bounces to New Zealand with half of the American economy funneled into their pockets as we descend into unmitigated clusterfuck, aren't we.

Sam @samnoack.bsky.social · 4d

If you can't tell people have really been fucking pissing me off today.

The conversations I have with people constantly remind me that the tiny sliver of hope I hold that smart people will give a shit and set this ship straight before it's too late is terribly misplaced. It's so absurdly depressing

Sam @samnoack.bsky.social · 4d

When you have to apply to 300 jobs just to have a hope at maybe getting 1 interview, it's insane.

When the median salary in America is only twice as much as a 1 bedroom apartment almost anywhere, it's insane.

When 400 people have more wealth than 170 MILLION people, it's fucking broken.

You know what fuck it I'm just going to post the rest of this. I think it's safe to say this relationship is cooked. For the record, this is a private access road I was raging on, I do not recommend losing your cool in a rage response on an actual highway.

Sam @samnoack.bsky.social · 5d

Part of something I had to send to a stupid ass person who refuses to accept the fact that GenZ is getting absolutely fucked. They are NOT lazy. They are bent to a breaking point. I might make $120k/year now, but I will not stop speaking up for my less fortunate neighbors who had the ladder pulled.

I was trying to cheer a woman up, and told her that her home was gorgeous, that we don't have views like that out East.

I kid you not, she looked around for a few moments at the endless grass, and then said: "it's our prison."

What the fuck do you even say to that? It struck me that she was right.
