It depends on the writer.

I would say "she took the book off the table".

Having said that, I know what you mean. I am often guilty of using prepositions unnecessarily . This happens if I don't proof what I write before I submit. One can only try to improve, eh?

Tricky on spelling being country dependent:

Stating the obvious, eh?

So is pronunciation. Actually, that's regional to both countries.

I realize it's called "English". Still, I prefer our "improvements" when it comes to the written word. (A bit more efficient for the most part, or so I believe. And yes, I know I am biased.)

Although I have come to truly appreciate British humor over my many years interacting on this board.

Google and Stupidbook are two totally corrupt companies.

Even though I own a healthy slug of Google, I'd love to see those dbags get taken down several notches in terms of their behavior.

Note proper spelling of 'behavior".

Tricky,

I really don't pay attention to these sort of events. I think it's a civil case, so it's all about the Money. She wants to cash in. Never mind she was already paid for her services years ago, and she knew exactly what she was getting into.

One thing I do know, you guys can have Harry and that worthless wife of his back....please, take them...get them out of here. What a pair of totally worthless people.

Tricky,

In the first paragraph of your 18:00hr post below, do I detect a note of sarcasm? Are you attempting to nudge me into being a bit more civil in my discourse?

Good to know you're on the mend. From what I understand, none of the vaccines work against omicron. The vaccines have no doubt saved many lives with the other variants of this insidious virus, yours possibly being one of them. (It sounds to me as though you may have had the Delta variant. (Call me Dr. Dog.))

Tricky,

I am drawing an inference here, correctly so I hope: it seems pretty obvious to me you feel cloth masks work against the virus.

Question, if cloth masks (or even the standard masks we all wear over here)...if masks work, how come they're not working? Omicron is exploding over here, for the masked, double vaccinated and boosted mask wearers, big time.

If they work so well, how come they don't stop the rampant spread of the virus? Note: I wear mine in public settings around people, but I don't trust they'll work, so I take a number of other precautions as well.

Eagle, yes, it is a mess. My bet is we'll see a landslide during the mid-term elections in November 2022.

Tricky, as usual, your ignorance shows through. That's what many virologists, scientists and doctors says about masks over here. Bongino just relayed what he heard on that matter. He quotes "experts" in the field, and is excoriated for it.

Actually, the most recent news is cloth masks don't work against aerosolized particles, and neither do the common surgical masks we all wear over here (in blue states such as Oregon). The most effective, by far, are the N95 masks, which are quite uncomfortable for many.

Adri, point made and taken. We shall agree to disagree on this. Frankly, I prefer a civil discussion with you, such as this, rather than our old relationship, which was quite acrimonious. Seems to me we've come along over the years, and I am glad for this.

Busy day for me. Hope to hear from a few of us tomorrow during the presentation's Q and A.

BTW: Bongino is number one on Rumble. Dude has a lot of fans.

I'm not signed up on Rumble, so I am not one of the over 2,000,000 he has as subscribers. His numbers are impressive given the fact that Bongino's only been on Rumble about 18 months. Rumble had about 1 million followers as of August, 2020. This grew to over 30 million by August of 2021.

I want the ad revenue. From Rumble, Youtube, anyone who's out there and has an audience. I do not care how they lean politically. I am here to make Money, I am not here to make some sort of social justice statement in order to virtue signal.

YouTube, owned by Google, leans decidedly left. Even they'll take what they can get from Bongino. I want some of that action as well.

Hey adri,

I don't believe that's what happened, although I could be wrong. I believe we (TRMR) were pressured via intimidation tactics by a few "shadowy activists" (Rumble's term) into trying to censor Bongino, at least that's what Rumble said in their statement.

I've not heard anything to the contrary from TRMR. The only people talking are Rumble. The only thing we heard "from" TRMR was through Rumble, and this is what was said:

"Citing vague complaints from unnamed “partners,” Tremor attempted to censor Bongino by removing advertisements from his websites and Rumble’s hosted video player. The company provided no proof or examples of the allegedly “fake covid information” that was the source of the complaints, instead expecting Rumble to bow to the demands of a few anonymous censors. Tremor wanted ads removed from Bongino’s pages even though YouTube and many other sites monetize Bongino’s content."

The cancel culture is never happy. They will never stop. Not ever.

We caved into them regarding Bongino, and I believe it'll cost us all Money. Who's next on the list of people the "shadowy activists" want cancelled? Believe me, the list is long. Endless, in fact.

No offence taken. None at all.

My take: I hardly believe being intimidated by a few woke snowflakes having their usual tantrum, causing us to take political sides, rather than remain neutral, to the point we censor free speech, is "good for the gander".

Where does it stop with the cancel culture crowd? (That's exactly what this is, it's cancel culture.) It only stops when people with a backbone and common sense take a stand and tell them we've had enough, we won't stand for it.'

If we do not take a stand against cancel culture, they'll be cancelling you one of these days.

Nobody is forcing anyone to listen to Bongino.

Censorship of speech and ideas you do not like is most certainly not allowing free speech in what's supposed to be a free society.

The below was the press release from Rumble. (Note, I'll be more than happy to take Money from Liberals doing their thing. I don't care what they say, even though I disagree with pretty much everything they say. Live and let live.)

TORONTO, Dec. 14, 2021 — Today, the video platform Rumble announced the termination of its relationship with the Unruly Group and Tremor International (NASDAQ: TRMR) after they attempted to censor Dan Bongino, the host of a nationally syndicated radio show and a Fox News television program. This decision reaffirms Rumble’s commitment to a free and open internet by hosting a variety of viewpoints on topics of public interest.

“Tremor’s attempt to censor Dan Bongino violated Rumble’s core principles,” said Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski. “Shadowy activists may not like what Dan Bongino has to say, but Rumble will always encourage open debate without taking sides. That is why Rumble decided to terminate its contract with Tremor. We won’t tolerate politicized attempts to cancel creators.”

Citing vague complaints from unnamed “partners,” Tremor attempted to censor Bongino by removing advertisements from his websites and Rumble’s hosted video player. The company provided no proof or examples of the allegedly “fake covid information” that was the source of the complaints, instead expecting Rumble to bow to the demands of a few anonymous censors. Tremor wanted ads removed from Bongino’s pages even though YouTube and many other sites monetize Bongino’s content.

Rumble gave Tremor the opportunity to provide examples of violations of Rumble’s content policies, but the group failed to do so. Accordingly, Rumble terminated its relationship with the company.

Rumble is a high-growth neutral video distribution platform that is creating the rails and independent

infrastructure designed to be immune to cancel culture. Rumble’s mission is to restore the

internet to its roots by making it free and open once again. The company recently announced the execution of a definitive business combination agreement with CF Acquisition Corp. VI (NASDAQ: CFVI). See the announcement here: https://corp.rumble.com

I strongly believe this is only the beginning of Rumble.

Hey Coathanger, thanks, bro.

We call it cancel culture here as well. It amounts to a very few, very loud voices, voices of screaming little children, jumping up and down, having an hysterical tantrum because they don't want to hear anything that doesn't fit their narrative.

I agree with you 100%. I am not at all religious, but I go out of my way to wish all a "very Merry Christmas".

She got back to me within a matter of minutes:

Xxxxx:
Any chance you can you type this question into the Q&A box on the zoom this monday?
If not, no fuss.
I will try to remember to ask your question- I have 10 questions of my own I’ve already drafted and I’ll do my best to remember to ask your question stated below.
Best, Laura

Tricky,

If you believe what you read in the NYT, you're even more clueless than I thought.

He spreads absolutely no misinformation. He gets that all the time, to which he asks those who accuse him of so doing to present a case where he lied or spread misinformation, and not one time, not ever, have they presented a case where he was spreading misinformation.

If you want to invest in a company that tells half of its audience to FO, you are not only clueless, you are monumentally stupid.

I sent the below message to Laura Martin. I hope she asks the question. In case she's not the one hosting TRMR on Monday, I asked her to forward my question to whomever it is who'll be the host.

Hey Laura,

I am a longtime investor in Tremor International. (Also Magnite, Perion, FUBO, and others you follow.)

I have a question which I’ve asked management at Tremor, to which they did not respond.

TRMR was caught shadow banning Dan Bongino last month. As a result of this, they were dropped by Rumble. I see this type of behavior as an enormous mistake.

What are Tremor doing to fix this problem? Are they going to play political favorites to whom they serve ads, or are they going to be apolitical?

There are many investors that would appreciate you bringing up this topic. This is very important. Being such a small company Tremor cannot afford to make these sorts of mistakes, especially after the obscene pay packages upper management, the board, and the compensation committee granted upper management.

Thanks for all the work you do. (Fingers crossed Magnite performs as we feel it may.)

Sincerely,

Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx
Private Investor

Dude is a cucking funt.

Curly,

Why are there only three recommends for your post (including mine)?

Not only is our village idiot a bar steward, he's a slimy berk.

Happy New Year to all longs.

I need to get used to the pigs at the top feeding at our trough. Angers me every time I think about it, but it is what it is.

The compensation package handed out by the board and upper management, all for the benefit of upper management, at our expense, should be insulting to all shareholders.

I see the UK has shortened hours tomorrow; closing at 04:50hr my time.

That being the case, I want to wish all longs a very Merry Christmas, or a wonderful whatever you may celebrate.

Also good luck to all of us (longs only).

Dawg
