Imagine being in an abusive relationship with a fucking stock lmao
Replace tesla with “the sun” and instead of Twitter it’s a priest explaining to a pharoh they’re doing everything they can to appease Ra.
Hey man, at least the sun is real and worth something to life!
Cargo cult lmao
cargo cults imitate an example of something that actually happened, these guys don’t even have that.

I kind of hate this term. it originates from the US/UK withdrawal from Polynesian islands after the local economies had been warped to depend on food shipments via plane. when people started starving, they tried to replicate what they observed as rituals associated with the arrival of planes - bright yellow vests, reflective rods to signal where planes should land, etc… desperate people did something desperate and I hate that we denigrate them for it.
the military bases on relatively small islands decimated the local flora and fauna. we commandeered their boats during the war and deforested the islands so they couldn’t build more boats to go fish. calling it a cult of any kind is utterly bizarre and it shifts blame for the tragedy onto the victims and allows the west to mock them for it. we inflicted famines because we didn’t view them as fully human. we didn’t even do it intentionally - we gave literally no thought to them or their continued existence. and we memorialize those dead as “cargo cultists” - because it’s their “barbarism” to be blamed and not the withdrawal of an empire.
Not op but:
Never heard it explained like that before. Very good comment. Will find a better term in the future.
It’s more like gamers complaining that their favorite game doesn’t get a new update precisely every three months.
Except, these are armchair investors complaining that the market evaluation doesn’t correspond to their “faithfulness”.

Playing Skyrim would cure them from that.
this is like reading one of those accounts of “how Amway ruined my life”, but right before the author realizes it was a scam all along and all that effort they put into it only served to destroy more lives.
anyway, strengthPlan more like weakPlan. boom, gottem.
Why number not go up? My very normal and based in reality life depends on number go up
I’ve been dutifully putting money and time into brand loyalty regardless of how the product or the CEO perform, why am I not making money?!
M’LORD, M’LORD THE CYBERWAGON LINE GOES DOWN
material conditions? pah. history is shaped by which side focuses their spirit energies better
Goku got 100,000,000 Zeni and killed god, so I’m inclined to believe this.
See i told you all that he’s dead
Im terribly grateful to you m’lord for selling me this golden goose, and I believe very much in it, but Sire the thing is, the golden goose you sold me, well it isn’t laying golden eggs m’lord.
Still love the goose though.

this is even worse than the normal religious belief of the unknowable rectitude of the market, this is a child praying for divine intervention without any adults or religious figures to temper their expectations

not a cult though
Tesla Bears?
In gambling terminology, “bear” and “bull” refer respectively to thinking that a bet is bad or good, so a “tesla bear” would be someone who thinks that “tesla will be more valuable in the future” is a bad bet
How did I play New Vegas for over 1000 hours and never figured this out?
??? I think the only bears in new vegas are the yao guai
I think they were referring to the Bear/Bull comparisons made to the NCR and the Legion since those are their respective symbols. Plus in lonesome road Ulysses is constantly going on about the Bear and the Bull when talking about them
Someone said New Vegas! I’m going to the Prospector Saloon!
There was surprisingly low amount of gambling there for something with “Vegas” in name.
Poland fact: in Polish, the word for gambling is literally “hazard” which would tell you everything you need to know (but it means nothing more than gambling in Polish).
i assume it gets into gambling from stonks bear and bull markets but stock markets and gambling are kinda the same so it’s possible it’s older in explicit games of chance
No, I’m just directly calling stocks gambling
Should’ve given that money to a mega church instead
