EDIT 3: No i am not worried about my parents cutting me off financially. I just need them emotionally.

EDIT 2: Thank you to the people who have actually helped me with my parents. I have gotten great advice and continue to receive more. I appreciate this a lot.

EDIT: Stop telling me to give up my child. I will not get rid of my baby. I have made sure i am financially, mentally and academically okay to go through with this, even without any support. No, i will not consider abortion. I have nothing against people that get abortions, i just personally don't agree with it for my own body. I want this baby. I just need advice about my parents. I also don't think adoption is for me, i want to raise this child. Yes i will still be able to graduate. My bf's family is very much in the picture (his mom is very excited and even planning baby stuff).

I just thought i'd just answer these questions which everyone seems to repeat.

hi reddit, any advice on this issue is appreciated. This is a throwaway account. I'm sorry for any typos or formatting issues since i'm using my phone.

a few days ago i found out i was pregnant. At first my bf (28M) and I were scared and confused about what we should do especially since i'm still studying to get my degree. I decided i wanted to make sure i really was pregnant so we went to confirm and yep, i am pregnant. After talking about it we both decided we wanted to keep the baby, we just couldn't bring ourselves to think about abortion. We live comfortably so money wouldn't be a problem. After the initial shock and fear, I was happy. I want this baby.

Yesterday i told my parents (I waited a few days because i was nervous to tell them). I expected them to be a bit upset at first because i'm only 20 and I kept it from them for a few days but still accepting of my decision. instead they told me under no circumstances could i keep the baby. They said i was throwing my life away and that they'd cut me off if i went through with this pregnancy. I just couldn't believe what they were saying. I thought they'd understand that my bf and I were happy with this decision but they were so adamant about getting an abortion. My parents live in a different state so all of this took place over the phone. my bf just got pissed off and stopped talking to them after he said it was our decision and my dad started calling my bf names for getting me pregnant and it was all so chaotic.

I said i'd think about it being the stupid person that i am even though i have no intention of getting an abortion. my bf and I are happy and excited in a scary way, we're also getting married and i want this, even if it's way earlier than i expected. I need my family too and i'm so scared.

I don't know what to do or what to say. I need my mom and my dad and I need my child to have grandparents. Any advice is welcome, please help. Thanks.

The Tweet Heard Round the World

So Gamestop decided to be cryptic af while also jacking all of the tits yesterday when they tweeted this pic with the caption "Been away for the past few months. What did I miss?"

UM EXCUSE ME I HAVE SEVERAL QUESTIONS!! 🙋‍♀️

Let's look at the pic a little closer shall we? 🧐

Some people have pointed out that this is an old original Carlsberg Beer advertisement. And that is true.

As you can see, the astronaut is both holding the Carlsberg beer in their hand, and resting their feet on a Carlsberg cooler.

But let's think about whether this was intentional... ok. They didn't edit out the original Carlsberg, yet they edited in the GS on the sleeve? So it is edited, which logically tells me they left the Carlsberg there for a reason....

AND TODAY IS THE CARL HAGBERG AMA.....

🚨GAMESTOP KNOWS ALL ABOUT CARL HAGBERG, HE IS THE EXPERT THEY CALL AND HIRE TO OFFICIALLY EXAMINE THE VOTES IF THEY'RE FUCKY. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?! GME CORPORATE ALREADY KNOWS CARL WAY BEFORE THIS AMA!!!!!🚨

From Carl Hagberg's bio:

"He is also considered to be a leading expert on the proxy voting process and has served as Independent Inspector of Election, both in contested and uncontested situations, at over 300 annual and special meetings of shareholders."

When a corporate election uncovers something wonky, like OVERVOTING, they call experts.

LIKE THE LEADING EXPERT IN THE FIELD, CARL HAGBERG!

It has also been pointed out that Carlsberg (the Beer) has been- and continues to be- in the middle of a share buyback.

If that were to happen with GME, that would be more than checkmate for Hedgies, although that doesn't make a whole lot of sense considering they just unloaded a bunch of shares to clear debt. But maybe they are just getting back on the rocket with us BECAUSE THE PRICE IS A LIE!!! 🚀

Now do you see why it's not just a bunch of tin foil conspiracy? DO YOU SEE IT? (Laughs maniacally)

And don't forget that yesterday was the first day that Gamestop Corp was actually able to see live poll results from the proxy voting. THEY KNOW!!!

Not only do they get REAL TIME results, they are ACTIONABLE results, meaning when they see the numbers and reports, THEY CAN BE UPHELD IN A COURT OF LAW!!! Read more about it here!

This is the website we retail investors can use to find the results!! I will update here with results! None are posted at the time of publication. 👀

Edit 9:00 am NYSE time: I think we hugged the website to death. Idk if the link works now 🤷‍♀️

__________________________________________________________

📢📢Clear your schedule for today at 4pm Eastern- No, SERIOUSLY YOU CAN'T MISS THIS AMA 📢📢

Remember how much the Dr. T AMA changed the game for us? Well the world is taking us seriously. And leading experts are now willing to come and educate this community, free of charge, because THEY HAVE BEEN FIGHTING NAKED SHORT SELLING FOR YEARS AND SO FAR NO ONE HAS LISTENED!!

We are the pitchfork army of individual investors that Dr. T, Carl Hagberg, Dave Lauer, and many others, have been waiting to come and grab Wall Street by the absolute BALLS like we have, to where this issue can't be ignored any more.

You know what makes us different?

THIS COMMUNITY!!

YOU APES!!

If you watched the old Wall Street Conspiracy documentary LIKE I'VE BEEN TELLING YOU TO (I can still give out poopoo flairs for not watching, y'know 👀) then you know there have been apes for decades. Apes just like us. Apes fighting to stop corruption and expose the criminal financial system. But you notice something in that documentary about the apes?

THEY DIDN'T HAVE REDDIT!!

The apes in that documentary are just an earlier generation of us, that lacked the platform we have. Sure, they had an online group, but it was moderated by A SINGLE MOD. And it wasn't a huge community like ours. They had to physically pound the pavement to get the word out. Whereas they stood on the street corner of Wall Street with a bull horn, WE HAVE AMAs ON YOUTUBE. 📢📢📢📢📢 We are doing this not only for this community, but for every ape before us who has tried to get someone's attention about the Naked, Short, and Greedy.

Tune in today at 4pm Eastern on Superstonk YouTube Live to watch u/atobitt interview the legendary Carl Hagberg in this game changing AMA!! 💎🙌🚀

Upon Dr. T's recommendation, everyone needs to read this comment from Mr. Hagberg to the SEC regarding overvoting!🚨

Here's a comment from u/Atobitt:

"Honestly, I don't see how the vote can be low.

I've talked with Carl and we both agree there's no way for hedge funds to get out of a 140% short position. The highest daily volume in Jan was on 1/22 with 197 million shares traded. Its much harder to explain that figure as legitimate shares being traded, because the entire company would have to exchange almost every share 3 times. The way hedge funds counter a dramatic and rapid increase in stock price is through shorting, and the pattern in GME and other heavily shorted stocks looks exactly like that. It's more likely that hedge funds were naked shorting millions of shares to suppress the price, which still went up until Robinhood halted retail buying.

After that, their only option to get the situation under control was to cause a panic sell and bankrupt the company. If they couldn't tank the company and convince people to sell their positions, it would allow the buyer of those phantom shares to vote at the annual shareholder meeting. We saw flash crashes, short selling on circuit breaker events, and additional short selling when hedge funds were supposedly covering.. It started to look like they were desperate, which we knew they were.

So.... By hodling through these events and voting at the meeting, we now have the most transparent way to illustrate the effects of their market f*uckery.

I think people (including myself) are going to be surprised by the number of votes cast this year. People like Carl Hagberg serve as proxy election specialists and audit the process to ensure everything checks out. He is considered one of the country's leading authorities on annual meeting matters. When the situations described above start to show up, its damned-near impossible to explain it any other way.

Hedgies R F*cked

Meet Finley and Quinn Mulligan- The brothers behind the Apes Together Strong Documentary

The one told by apes, for apes.

This is pasted from the OP by u/albanak

🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍-- INTRO -- 🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧

My name is Finley Mulligan (u/albanak), my brother is Quinn Mulligan (u/cyclopsQHM). We are apes.

We've been hodling since early Jan, joined the exodus to r/GME and eventually migrated with the first wave of settlers at r/superstonk — we are not outsiders, we want to make sure this story is told right and from within.

🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍-- BACKGROUND -- 🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍

We got sick of seeing "retail" investors being portrayed like shit by the mainstream media.

We couldn't stand seeing the narrative build that the current untenable state of our markets is somehow our fault — meanwhile, everyone turns a blind eye to the corruption, illegal practices, and blatant manipulation being practiced by the "institutions" lining the pockets of the asshats condemning us.

Then the hulu doc came out and we kind of hit a limit. SO. I posted a simple question — "Who wants a REAL documentary about what's happening with the squeeze?" and the response was overwhelmingly positive — you had some key points of guidance:

• The story isn't done 'til the squeeze has squozen

• Ask the questions no one's asking (naked short selling, FTDs, etc)

• Make sure to features the community as much as possible

• Tell the truth even if the truth hurts

• Fuck off, we just like the stock (fair enough)

We took those tenets to heart and posted THIS.

This story isn't finished.

It feels like a war of attrition at times but with new rules, SEC head, and the simple fact that time is on our side we believe that we will soon see an end to this saga.

This last act is still unfolding and we won’t be telling an unfinished story — apes are very clear that this film shouldn’t finish until the squeeze has squozen and we want to respect that.

We’ll be including the community throughout the creation of the film. Offering to show rough cuts, consulting when we’re stuck or need fresh eyes. We believe very much that community engagement is vital to being able to call this a film for apes by apes.

If you'd like to follow along you can join our mailing list at apestogetherstrongdoc.com

or our twitter @ apestogetherdoc

Please hit us up at [email protected] or tag u/albanak in any post you think is worth calling attention to! Special thanks to u/not_ya-wify who's been super awesome doing this.

This film is for you all, we'll answer any questions you have.

APES. TOGETHER. STRONG.

🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍🦧🦍

Read the full story about the Mulligan brothers and their awesome documentary here. Please note that neither Superstonk, nor Superstonk Live YouTube are affiliated with the production (or any resulting profit) of this film. We just think it's cool as shit that they're telling the story from apes' perspective and wanted to share with you guys :)

DTCC Liquidity Test (yes, again)

So the DTCC is having a liquidity test tomorrow, May 13th.

What the hell is a liquidity test anyway?

Well... This doesn't effect anything in the market in real time, it is merely a computer simulation test meant to test the liquidity of the market when the new rules get implemented (think 002). It's odd that they would do a test that they just did in April, and they usually do ANNUALLY, to be doing it again just a MONTH LATER. And liquidity tests do require... liquidity... in order to pass them. So you miiiiiight need to sell a few things to rack up those liquid assets.....

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Stocks just suffered the worst bout of concentrated selling pressure in history i.e. MASS SELLOFF YESTERDAY

So I can't find anything to really verify this tweet besides the tweet itself, but I will say, as u/bye_triangle pointed out, that u/deepfuckingvalue follows this account on his twitter, and I know that guy doesn't follow bogus sources. So I'm just saying take this was a liiiiittle grain of salt. But mods think this checks out. ✅

👀 New Mod-Only Post Flairs 👀

After an influx of requests for tighter moderation in the sub and much deliberation amongst the mod team, we decided it would be best to instead of removing questionable/unverified/contended posts, we would instead create some Mod-only use post flairs that we can assign when posts have been determined to be unverified, or totally debunked.

So we decided that removing some posts was too much, and instead made a mod-only flair

⚠Inconclusive⚠

so we can mark posts that seem suspect, inconclusive, or are potential FUD. OP can then revise their post with accurate info to have flair updated. Additionally, you apes can still see the post, and it's very transparent in what we are considering to be suspicious or potential FUD without removing it. You can then discuss for or against a flair change in the comments;

We also added the

🚨Debunked🚨

flair to the mod-only flair lineup. Please note, we will still remove posts that blatantly break rules; but this way we can manage in a transparent way whether to be cautious or not with posts.

It's a seriously thin line to toe between democracy and something else. We are a pretty liberal mod team and we try to let the apes decide what we read in the jungle, but we also realize the weight and responsibility we have to provide accurate information to the community. Hopefully this satisfies both sides of the dilemma.

We're all just a bunch of smooth brained apes tryin' to get a couple wrinkles here. ✌

EDIT: Breaking News- IBKR changes its terms of service (in preparation for MOASS?)

Mod comment from u/leaglese:

This post flair has been changed on the basis a lot of assumptions are drawn from the changes in this document.

If you are unsure about a policy change with your broker, contact them to explain the changes.

You are their client. Ensure to ask them what this means for your concerns before making any decisions to transition or leave them with apes on the internet, as they will know best.

Not financial or legal advice.

REMEMBER YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SELL YOUR SHARES WHEN YOU TRANSFER BROKERS! JUST A FRIENDLY REMINDER!!

Talk to your broker about what's the best investment strategy for you!

It goes against years of finance education, but you gotta have some skin in the game right? Hope you apes are right! Bought on IEX for $138.805.
