- So far, so good! -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:30
TIL: TRL is not always Total Request Live but can mean Technology readiness levels - JD Jun 11, 14:25 3
- I'm more familiar with Technology Readiness Levels than Total Request Live -- (link) - Roger More Jun 11, 14:28 2
  - But you still knew what a 'stan' is correct? ;-) - JD Jun 11, 14:33 1

  - (It can also be used as a verb) -- nm - Roger More Jun 11, 14:23 4
    - I think I mostly hear it that way. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:30 3
      - I wonder if it has a different connotation as a verb too. As a noun, I hear it most as a put-down - "All the ... stans are complaining again" - Roger More Jun 11, 14:35 2
        
        Well, you're calling someone a crazed fan. But you can say "Is it bad that I stan the Jonas brothers wives?" -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:37 1
        
        Exactly. "You stan Hanson" = you're a loser. "I stan Hanson" = Look at my great taste! -- nm - Roger More Jun 11, 14:42

- There's no 'second wave' ... The first wave never stopped -- (link) - decline Jun 11, 14:29 1
  - This was obvious. They reopened all of those states with the infection rate on the rise. The stupidity is mindblowing. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:31
- Those nasty liberal blue states, its always th.... oh waitt -- nm - Jovian Jun 11, 14:20
Hmm, discless version of the ps5 too. -- nm - Ender Jun 11, 14:14 1
- Do they really have to be standing? I can't fit them in my space! - Marlowe Jun 11, 14:18

- Don't blame us for Rowling. -- nm - ty97 Jun 11, 14:04 17
  - I'm just confused by Rowling. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:08 14
    - I can't quite figure out what she's complaining about. -- (edited) - . Jun 11, 14:44
    - I am too. I had no idea that a trans person was infringing on her rights as a woman. nm - John Murphy Jun 11, 14:09 12
      - That reminds me. If someone is a trans woman, is she bio female, or is she MtF? -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:10 9
        
        Hufflepuff. -- nm - Diva Jun 11, 14:48
        
        The latter. (The way to remember - women don't like to be referred to as men) -- nm - Roger More Jun 11, 14:11 7
        
        Right - trans women were born with a penis. Trans men - not. -- nm - John Murphy Jun 11, 14:14 6
        
        broadly speaking, you'd probably be correct, but my understanding is that it is considered more correct to say "assigned male (female) at birth" rather than making assumptions about anatomy. -- nm* - znufrii, silly old man Jun 11, 14:16 5
        
        This. If you see "amab" or "afab" now you know what they mean. Basically the person was misgendered at birth. - TWuG Jun 11, 14:23 4
        
        Oh, that's simple then. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:36
        
        now do "ace" "enby" and "pan". :) -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jun 11, 14:35 1
        
        Ace = asexual, enby = non-binary, and pan = pansexual -- nm - TWuG Jun 11, 14:41
        
        But now it looks like that acronym will have to be updated. -- nm - Roger More Jun 11, 14:26
      - This isn't her first foray down this road, but it seemed to get more publicity this time. -- nm - ty97 Jun 11, 14:10 1
        
        For a professional writer, that was just strange -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:11
  - Also - I ain't canceling Harry Potter because the author is an idiot. Just sayin. -- nm - John Murphy Jun 11, 14:06 1
    - There's been a rather heated discussion on my fb feed what with the overlapping of HP fans and trans friends and allies among my friends -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jun 11, 14:12

  - I had hopes for this in Texas but... -- nm - Epiphany - the wicked wind Jun 11, 13:45 2
    - And it's now a hot spot1 -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 13:46 1
      - word. -- nm - Epiphany - the wicked wind Jun 11, 13:48

"Biden 'absolutely convinced' military would escort Trump from White House if he loses and refuses to leave" -- (link) - mud Jun 11, 13:30 7
- it would be the job of the secret service to secure the premises and protect the "president" so if he's still there after the inauguration .... -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 11, 14:29
- and good on him for not perpetuating that line of 'ohh what if he wont leave!' - Jovian Jun 11, 13:44 3
  - He's never stood up to anyone physically that we know of, right? -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 13:47 2
    - God no, he's an extreme coward. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 13:49 1
      - Exactly. God, I hope someone gets video. I would give both pinky toes to watch it. - loosilu Jun 11, 14:07
- Of course they would. What a dumb question. -- nm - spamlet Jun 11, 13:36
- I assume a couple of cops can do it. Just remember, 'please don't be too nice'. -- nm - Mop Jun 11, 13:35
Kelly Clarkson has filed for divorce from her husband -- (link) - budice Jun 11, 13:30 2
- that's sad. I've always liked her, comes across as very humble. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 11, 13:42
- :( -- nm - ty97 Jun 11, 13:30
Ok - so why are we canceling Paw Patrol again? Anyone? -- nm - John Murphy Jun 11, 13:30 28
- Just as long as we’re also canceling Joe Don Baker, I’m fine with it. -- nm - Qale Jun 11, 13:48 2
  - Mitchell! -- nm - Dark Callisto Jun 11, 14:16
  - But can we cancel J Don Birnam? nm - John Murphy Jun 11, 14:08
- It's clear that all law enforcement should be done by masked crime fighters. -- nm - PJ Masks Jun 11, 13:42
- too many #metoo complaints about non concensusal leg humping -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 11, 13:40
- Wait, seriously? -- (edited) - znufrii, silly old man Jun 11, 13:37
- Same reason people want Brooklyn 99 off the air. -- nm - spamlet Jun 11, 13:37 18
  - I'm actually wondering about that whole genre of "Cranky old white cop who doesn't play by the rules and everyone worships him." -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 13:44 1
    - Well, the Dirty Harry thing started with America losing Vietnam but LAT covers media analysis a lot. They just did an article on Dick Wolf (L&O) -- (link) - con_carne Jun 11, 14:45
  - I had my suspicions that this show was in peril. I believe it'll survive, but it's gonna be awkward. -- nm - Mop Jun 11, 13:43 2
    - It’s not. -- nm - spamlet Jun 11, 13:44 1
      - They legitimately are one of the most diverse casts on tv. - Will Hunting Jun 11, 13:55
  - It's on you to demonstrate people are actually saying this. Snopes from 1 hour ago. -- (link*) - con_carne Jun 11, 13:42 8
    - I mean is the Washington Post enough? -- (link) - spamlet Jun 11, 13:53 5
      - Or Vulture? -- (link) - spamlet Jun 11, 13:55 4
        
        That article's more criticism than a call for cancellation -- nm - Roger More Jun 11, 14:03 3
        
        And the WaPo one is really saying that police TV shows have to do an immediate rethink about how they tell their stories. -- nm - Roger More Jun 11, 14:05 2
        
        the literal headline is shut down all cop shows. -- nm - spamlet Jun 11, 14:24 1
        
        ... for a rethink. -- nm - Roger More Jun 11, 14:46
    - Not enough people are complaining? *grabs a torch* -- nm - Strongbad Jun 11, 13:44 1
      - If 15 people are yelling at you in real life, it would sure be a lot. If 1000 people out of 100k followers are ... that still might *feel* like a lot - Reagen Jun 11, 13:49
  - Wait, what? I missed that. - sycor Jun 11, 13:41
  - Are there more than, like, 12 people yelling on Twitter about this (who are serious about it)? -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 13:38 2

LIR: Hertz stock. $20.25 02/21. $0.56 05/26. $5.53 06/08 (the "rebound") $2.06 today. They filed for bankruptcy 05/22. Even a pro would have to have - zunk takes things literally Jun 11, 13:21 9
- Why don't the markets freeze a stock when the company declares bankruptcy? -- nm - Mop Jun 11, 13:38 1
  - Because then whomever is holding the stock has their money tied up potentially for years. - spamlet Jun 11, 13:41
- (99.9% irrelevant) I am less than 5 minutes from their HQ right now. -- nm - ty97 Jun 11, 13:29
- Let's see... carry the 4, divide by Pi. Yeah you could have made a good profit on that. -- nm - sycor Jun 11, 13:25 2
  - Actually if my math is right, had you invested the stimulus check in to Hertz at the .56 and sold at 5.53 you would have made about 10K. - sycor Jun 11, 13:31 1
    - trying to time the market is a fools game. I'm still kicking myself for not buying back into TSLA on the dip though. -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jun 11, 13:48
- r/investing is full of "Don't tell me what to do, I've been trading for 8 days and I'm riding this to be a millionaire!" idiots right now. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 13:23 2
  - and how is r/WallStreetBets reacting? -- nm - JD Jun 11, 13:26 1

    - That was a thing? I want a Flynn's token - JD Jun 11, 13:30
