Imagine joining a book club only to find out that 40% of the members don't read books but rather read the Cliffsnotes version of books and watch YouTube essays with titles like "This book broke me". That's what being in a fandom with larpers is like

The "CliffsNotes" card's design is getting better and better 🤓👍

I hate calling people a larper because I've been called a larper over having opinions on games I've played and have hundreds of hours but this is crazy. This is the same as someone claiming they're a fan of Lord of the rings but have only read the Cliffsnotes version. ( 1 )

Video games isn't the only form of media? Go obsess over something else then? It's like someone who's only read a Cliffsnotes version of a book demanding their opinions in the fandom be given the same weight as someone who has read all the books and own physical copies

It’s okay, I can give you the CliffsNotes Tennessee bubba hillbilly version: We STARTED a war with a group of people who have only been defeated on their own ground once in 200 years, froze the Strait of Hormuz, destroyed much of our defense infrastructure in the Middle East, shit all over our Gulf State partners, increased the price of EVERYTHING for EVERYONE requiring oil in its production or transportation, etc. And now we’ve PROBABLY agreed to give Iran $12B-24B of the funds we stole from them as well as fund the $300B required to reconstruct their country in exchange for things returning to where they were before. We basically round-tripped a shitcoin future with max exchange fees. “Winning”

Guy who thinks he read Moby Dick because he read the cliffsnotes

It's quite simple, I don't want posers around my hobby. It's the equivalent of reading a summary of a novel on cliffsnotes and claiming you're a fan.

they would know that if they actually read the QUESTS and not the cliffsnotes. maybe adding a skip button was a mistake after all

Universities dumbing down the Western canon because their ‘elite’ students can’t finish a book? This isn’t adaptation—it’s surrender. The future leaders of the free world can’t handle Aristotle or Dante, so we just hand them excerpts and TikTok summaries? Civilization doesn’t run on CliffsNotes. Huge respect to @athenaeumbc for actually fighting back with a real book club. Sign me up. Who’s joining before it’s too late? 📖⚔️

youre not the master of hsr's lore if the only things you take away from the story is from the game's equivalent of cliffsnotes

So genuinely why are you a fan? It's too hard for you and you don't want to watch the gameplay. It's like reading some CliffsNotes and then proclaiming it as your favorite book.. what are you doing??

MIDLIFE MICRO[X]-19, Saturday, June 13, 2206 - Investing Long-term, and or, "Pump and Dump.” This article by Jared Blikre, Yahoo Finance's "global markets and data editor” (1.), is well written, and a short and sweet history lesson on long-term investing. Albeit not investment advice from me, here are several excerpts that I thought were the most notable takeaways, a CliffsNotes version of sorts, in the context of the SpaceX IPO yesterday, Friday, June 12, 2026. That said, make sure you read the full article for contextual, and historical, details. - “SpaceX (SPCX) may be one of the biggest and most important IPOs in Wall Street history. It still has to clear one of the oldest IPO problems: turning a decades-long growth story into a price investors can buy today” (1.). - “When the Dutch East India Company — abbreviated VOC from its Dutch name — first traded in 1602, it helped create what became the Amsterdam Stock Exchange and gave investors exposure to global trade. But the stock took roughly three decades to double, a slow grind by modern market standards” (1.). - "The Dutch East India Company was not just a paper promise. It was a real business tied to ships, trade routes, military power, government backing, and the opening of a massive commercial frontier" (1.). - "That is why JC Parets, chartered market technician and founder of TrendLabs, recently argued that the better historical analog for SpaceX is not simply another hot tech IPO — it is VOC" (1.). - "VOC sent spice fleets to Asia — a far cry from building data centers in space — but the market logic rhymes. VOC gave investors a way to buy into global trade without getting on a ship. SpaceX gives investors a way to buy into rockets, satellites, defense demand, Starlink, space infrastructure, and whatever the orbital economy becomes next" (1.). - "[M]ost [IPOs] undercut their first-day low within three weeks, and most will trade down 10% or more within 10 weeks" (1.). - "In other words, investors usually get another shot, and there's no reason to rush in on day one. In fact, history shows that big IPOs can arrive late in a hot trade, raising the risk that new market debuts lose steam in the subsequent six months" (1.). - “None of this suggests SpaceX is merely hype. Its $19 billion in revenue is as real as the ships, spices, and trade routes that made the Dutch East India Company more than a story stock” (1.). - “The lesson for investors is narrower. Real frontiers can still punish impatient entry points” (1.). *** Not to compare space technology to the news industry, and the Conservative segment within the news industry at that, but there is a lesson to be learned from the IPO, and hype, regarding Newsmax Inc. (NMAX). Newsmax’s IPO launched Friday, April 28, 2025, at $10.00 per share, peaked as high as $265.00 per share in intraday trading on the following Tuesday, April 01, 2025, while closing about a year later at $8.19 Friday, June 12, 2026 (2.). Does that mean that Newsmax as a company is a bad investment? Of course not, but it is certainly a great example that timing is everything when trading stocks. On that note, SPCX is going to have a volatile couple of weeks as Investors – sophisticated, and novice alike – are going to jump in, run the price up, then dump it for profits. So, the underlying price in which the company holds value is an unknown baseline from which long-term investing – and in relation to the price at which an Investor, buys, and holds – becomes profitable. Like VOC, SpaceX is doing real things in an industry void in which we have a lot to learn, thus there is a lot of business potential for growth. So, post hype? A $130.00-$165.00 per share band is the likely medium value range, until SpaceX does something of substantive business significance within its industry, and in regards to outperforming its competitors … but what do I know? We will see, and I repeat … well … quote, “The lesson for investors is narrower. Real frontiers can still punish impatient entry points” (1.). *** Investing Long-term, and or, "Pump and Dump." - Matfucius 1.) yahoo.com/finance/markets/ar… 2.) ir.newsmax.com/stock-info/de…

Why is reading a cliffsnotes summary of a book not considered reading the book

Obama was a dumb person's conception of what a smart person looked like. Lots of fronting with, say, his book lists, but no evidence he ever read anything on more than a surface level. Bill Clinton, evil as he was, was both more intelligent and more intellectually curious than Obama. Clinton was known as a "policy wonk," a guy who intimately studied the details of governance, the nuances of legislation and rules. He was able to clearly communicate his political objectives in ways that demonstrated he knew what he was talking about. This only comes from a genuine intellectual curiosity about the world. Obama was never a policy wonk, though at times he fronted as one. He had no interest in the inner workings of government. If Clinton was the kind of guy to read a bill from front to back, memorizing every nuance and coming up with objections or suggestions, Obama was the kind of guy who ordered an intern to read it and write a CliffsNotes. The difference between the two men was the difference between reading the book versus reading the Wikipedia page. I have no doubt that if Obama were president today, he'd be using ChatGPT to summarize policy papers. Successful politicians in the pre-Trump era appealed to the prejudices of their constituencies. With Dubya, it was the false image of him as an everyday Joe, "the kind of guy you'd like to have a beer with." Stuff like the brush-clearing photo op outside his ranch, him hiring a voice coach to maintain his fake Texan accent, even arguably his malapropisms were used to reinforce this. In actuality, Bush was a deeply reflective individual who read voraciously. Obama's image was that of the pretentious NPR wannabe polymath, the kind who has a David Sedaris hardcover on their coffee table and self-consciously carries around a Moleskine notebook they bust out at Starbucks or on the train. 105 IQ pretending to be 150 IQ; a summary of the libtard mindset.
