Me neither. Sorry, Smithers

We must all seem really old to you. But I *am* glad you’re enjoying.
If that’s about Jim Cramer on cnbc i can’t stand him, but not because he’s Gollum. It’s because he talks about his wife’s restaurant and Italy or his dad & baseball or some inside joke that Carl and David have to explain. And maybe a few words about stocks — usually how he met the CEO. Unwatchable. Bloomberg & Fox Biz are better. What do they watch in Canada?
Tell me in another thread if you want.

We don't have much in terms of any kind of robust or highly-watched money show here in Canada. We pretty well just piggyback off of U.S. outlets like CNBC.
Huh, I never realized that. Kind of sad.

Three logisticians just finished dinner, and the waitress comes up and asks "do y'all want dessert?"
The first logistician says "I don't know." The second also says "I don't know." The last says "yes, we would."

Took me way too long to get this, and I did some searching.
And even though i think I get it, it doesn’t make sense. EDIT- oh, wait, yes it does. How great.

And as for him who lacks the courage to defend even his own soul: Let him not brag of his progressive views, boast of his status as an academician or a recognized artist, a distinguished citizen or general. Let him say to himself plainly: I am cattle, I am a coward, I seek only warmth and to eat my fill.

Smithers, is the basic idea that big Wall Street investors short-sold GameStop stock because they thought the company was about to go bankrupt, but then a group of activist investors on Reddit (r/wallstreetbets) who had fond memories of GameStop and wanted to keep it alive decided to fight back by going long on the stock, thus creating a short squeeze that's now screwing over the Wall Street short-sellers?

I'm guessing that Smithers found the rant itself humorous, as I did, rather than whatever it was trying to say but he can speak for himself.
That reddit post has now been censored so let that be a lesson to those who post memes providing only links to the original. Better to do what Smithers did and provide the image and/or the gist of a story before somebody takes it down.
