No its not dated, generally transgender is used instead but many trans folks still use transsexual especially those that have undergone bottom surgery.

For me cooking is a sign of love. I cook a delicious meal for my partner to show that I appreciate her and that I love her. Its something my dad would do for me as a child, even after a long day at work he would come home and cook a homemade meal for us all. As a kid I didn’t understand what it meant but as I got older I started to. It would have been easy to just do TV dinners or pick up food on his way home but he knew a homemade meal was special and worth it.

Its also how I can relax after a long day as I usually play some music and lose myself in the process. The creativity of it too, to go from no idea what I am making to opening the fridge and taking in all the different ingredients and then the inspiration begins to flow.

Microsoft owns the company that makes Call of Duty so in order to make more money they would want people to buy the game each year instead of just having game pass. The big hope being that someone both buys COD and subscribes to GamePass.

I literally just did this last night lol it was a great time.

You can’t call it self defense when you are the invading army. The Lebanese have every right to kill every single invader in their land and launch missiles into Israel to make them stop.

I’m just glad I never throw shit away or sell anything. I have a bunch of ram that I wasn’t using and now I’ve got some builds to do with them.

Nah they couldn’t get to silver so now they play TFT.

Thank you!

Yeah I could do that, I have never done it before though which is why I was looking for another remote to use. Are there any good guides/tools out there you would recommend?

lol I just created my gitlab account today to get away from github and after reading this the account has been scheduled for deletion and now I have a new account with Codeberg. When are these dipshits going to learn that we don’t want AI in our workflows? I am capable of breaking things on my own, but at least when I break things I will learn from it.

Ryan Cohen is very strange and uncomfortable.

I don’t think that, but it doesn’t really matter either as numerous CEOs could be described this way.

Public perception of game stop is already poor and he is not helping that.

I don’t see how its poor when they have lines outside their buildings every time a new game/console comes out just like they have since I was a child. I still shop there and so do my friends and family. Maybe there is negative comments online but IRL doesn’t seem that way.

A few quarters of profitability is hardly enough to go on if you are trying to measure long term stability.

We are talking about a company that was started in 1984 and has a recession proof business model that has proven it numerous times. I think they check the long term stability especially since as long as Xbox, Nintendo, Playstation, Steam Consoles and trading cards exist so will GameStop.

Gamestop revenue has never recovered to pre-pandemic levels.

Revenue is down because they have been cutting bloated stores that were not profitable so revenue is down but profits are up which just means they have been cost cutting something that is seen as a benefit to other companies. Also profits lead to more revenue as we see with them trying to purchase ebay, their revenue will be at an all time high if the deal goes through and if it doesn’t they will try and purchase a different company.

Gamestop sells cheap plastic shit, I cannot make myself believe in that.

They primarily sell electronics and collectables with trading cards being the largest part of their collectables. I wouldn’t call my Playstation and my pokemon cards cheap plastic shit, but hey maybes its not something you are into like me so I understand why it doesn’t interest you.

Frankly the whole idea of investing in a company to make personal profit out of it is cynical and rooted in exploitive capitalistic thinking.

You are not wrong there but this is the system we live in, I would love for something different but I would also like to retire one day.

Sure but they are doing well, they are profitable and using that money to grow. Ebay + GameStop merges the physical and online used products space, not to mention both are huge on collectables too. You say I am only seeing what I want to see so enlighten me on what I am missing.

Last I checked when you invest in a company you want them to be profitable and maintain those profits while growing right? IDK why I would be out of touch for liking a company that is doing that, also a company I shop at and have been my whole life.

I mean GameStop is a great investment, they have had 7 positive earnings in a row now and have been able to build up a lot of capital in the process which they are now trying to utilize to acquire other companies like with ebay right now. Maybe this deal doesn’t go through maybe it does but they are clearly trying to make moves to expand. Its been nothing but positive since Ryan Cohen took over as CEO.

They mention that gap even though GameStop has already explained how the deal works. They said the deal is half cash and half stock, so GameStop has $9 billion on hand they can spend and a $20 Billion loan from TD, there you now have the cash needed. As for the stock how it works is GameStop and EBay will become one new company and the EBay shareholders will receive a larger percentage of that company than the GameStop shareholders will. The exact percentage needs to be negotiated but it could be 80% to EBay and 20% to GameStop as an example.

The idea here is that GameStop compliments EBay really well as GS has thousands of physical stores that already know how to handle used products. So an EBay seller can take their products to a GS and to have them graded if needed and to drop off the product so GS handles the shipping. The Buyer of the product now knows that the item has been inspected and graded by an employee giving them confidence and they have the option to pick up at their local GS for cheaper shipping prices at a time when shipping is becoming more expensive. Also the GS board is really good at what they do and could make EBay a more profitable company.

Smaller companies buy larger companies all the time. For example Paramount buying Warner Brothers.

You can make a good ramen stock with vegetable broth, miso paste, soy sauce, and seaweed. Its takes like 5 mins to make too, just heat and mix.
