I am a potential employer. Speaking on behalf of only myself, there are two reasons I may feel inclined to rush an applicant. If the unfilled position is causing hardship on operations or other team members (Like having someone having to fill the spot while I search) or if the intended start date falls towards the end of a current pay period. Because if the new hire doesn't have paperwork done by then it can slow down payroll for all of us.

I learned very quickly not to rush folks out of desperation, but honestly sometimes that does happen. It doesn't necessarily mean it's a terrible place to work. In my case our labor market is lacking viable applicants. It can sometimes take weeks or months before finding even a good interview. If I have somebody that hates overnights, but is working them to cover for a recent loss then you bet I will be motivated to fill the spot ASAP. It takes emotional control to make sure that doesn't turn into rushing the applicant.

These may not apply to your situation, but that's my two cents.

I'm still salty about years and years ago when they started banning the modders. Obviously something had to be done, but what ended up happening is the same people bought the game again. In some cases 3 or 4 times over. It was a real eye opener to Rockstar and a dark moment for consumers. They've been squeezing the lemon ever since. Now they're capitalizing selling the same product to a new generation 12 years later.

You vote with your dollar. If you want a new game, stop buying the old one.

The term asset in espionage just refers to somebody who does is being utilized for active measures or intelligence collection. They manipulate those people all the time. In some cases assets may not even know they are providing intelligence or carrying out an agency's objectives.

Fair enough they didn't outright buy NFTs. They attempted to enter the market and failed. It's still a loss. And I'm not feeling great about the trading card idea. But hey we'll see, maybe it works out for them this time.

Good luck man. What happened last time they got a huge influx of cash from retail traders? From what I read they wasted it in NFTs.

Now they're wasting it on trading cards. The company is floundering. Surviving purely from generational nostalgia at this point. When that runs out the rug will be pulled.

You're just selling to some roaringkitty fanboy the actual company couldn't care less. If you're in a 350 you may as well hold it on the off chance something weird happens and you could break even.

Or, you can sell at a loss for the tax benefit, but that only applies if you have capital gains to use it against. So if you find one year you make some money off some other stock that would be a good time to sell the GME at a loss.
