An unfortunate naming collision. They aren't related.

Okay, so then it must be purely a coincidence that both r/wallstreetbets and r/WSB use the same thumbnail image of the cartoon guy wearing the suit and sunglasses...

I think the media coined the word “bigly” when they didn’t think Trump properly enunciated the two words in the phrase “big league” and mocked him for it. Then Scott Adams further popularized the neologism by including it in one of his book titles. I disagree with a lot of Scott Adams’ positions, bu...

Ah, thanks for the background, Smithy!

It looks like r/wallstreetbets is publicly accessible, but r/WSB is private. What’s the story there — are they related?

Here Vinny, let me Google that for you. This article by Schwab in the World Economic Forum was the top search result for "Klaus Schwab on coronavirus": The only acceptable response to such a crisis is to pursue a “Great Reset” of our economies, politics, and societies. Indeed, this is a moment to re...

Finally returned to barbell strength training last night after six months off following the birth my baby daughter. Felt really good. Part of what felt so nice about it was that the routine of the workout reminded me of what my life was like prior to the insanity of the 2020 election. Simpler times....

Would that be like letting private businesses impose their own speech and decency requirements? If you don't like it, then just go elsewhere kind of thing? Yes, basically. Some businesses have signs that say "No shoes or shirt, no service". Other businesses cater to upscale clientele, so if you wal...
