From what I’ve read it seems like stock/ ownership of SpaceX is going to be purchased via 401k funds. I don’t know what popular index funds really means but it looks like savings for retirement can be forcefully converted into stock asset? Fill me in on what I might be missing here, please and thank you.

Is the Manosphere the same as the incel community? I hear about these communities a lot but see very little content from them, how are boys finding them? Is it just boys or is this affecting men too?

Answered What is up with so many pictures of people holding things at arms length?

153 Upvotes

This has been driving me nuts for the past month or so. It seems like I’m seeing more and more posts on here, in many different subreddits, where instead of photographing something the poster found on, say, a table or a shelf, they take the picture with one hand while clutching the object at arms length with the other. Here’s a recent example. Is this from something? https://www.reddit.com/r/transformers/comments/1tu7q6f/got_topspin_today_for_40/

Unanswered What is going on with the (seemingly organised) hate campaign against Steam/Valve?

0 Upvotes

All the arguments Ive seen trying to make them look bad are either referring to ''reportedly'', ''seemingly'', but nothing concreet. The other arguments are about things Valve does that every other gaming company does as well.

Same about the hate on Steam increasing their handheld prices, which to me seems like a logical and unavoidable consequence of increasing prices of the necessary resources to make the device. This makes it seem to me its an organised effort to bring down Valve.

Then you have the critiques saying that they have a monopoly, all the while every other big publisher (sony, windows, gog, ea, etc.) have their own massive game stores so this just seems like they are popular because of reasons gamers like? It just doesnt seem logical. Im so confused.

Has there been an incident that made it big online, maybe involving streamers or something, that has created this negative offset towards Steam? The reason I say seemingly organised is Ive seen it on other social media alot too, but cannot link those

Unanswered What's going on with Epstein?

0 Upvotes

I have a basic understanding that a) Epstein sexually abused many women, some of which were underage, b) Donald Trump and Epstein were closely linked, and c) Jeffrey Epstein supposedly killed himself in prison in 2018.

Beyond this, I've seen some evidence of a cover up -- the DOJ-released evidence apparently redacted a lot of useful information -- but mostly I've read wild, emotionally-charged claims about things Epstein supposedly did.

This leaves me wondering:

  1. What is Epstein confirmed to have done?

  2. What did Epstein most likely do, and based on what evidence?

  3. What did Epstein maybe do, and based on what evidence?

  4. What evidence exists of cover-ups (destruction of files, intimidation of witnesses, investigative misconduct, etc), before and after his death?
