    New Yorkers going to Montana to fuck it up? Who wants to watch that?

    In the early retirement community, that scenario comes up very often. The bulk of people find paying off the mortgage to be worthwhile for peace of mind, even though it's not the ultimate min-max option.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I like how so many posts have said the lack of light is a major feature of the game, and then every single one says "yeah, I'm picking a race that negates that." Almost like they don't actually want that shit.

    Fallout

    This episode actually had really good pacing, which seems unusual for this type of show (the big budget prime time type dramas, versus serials). It seems like so many of these shows just have a limited amount of forward moving story, so they waste a ton of time on useless shit. This was mostly...

    Pretty much exposes their lie, doesn't it? "Well, it's in a release state that we feel we can sell access to it for money, but you leaving a review on it in it's half completed state after you paid money for it? NO WAY JOSE!" You either charge for it and take the negative press that comes with...

    Too bad you can't just stop watching it.

    So basically a collapse is limited to the Great Depression, and the 1880's depression? 2008 recovered within a couple years.

    Sure. Two dumb broads saying "a market collapse is guaranteed to happen this year" is retarded. You responded saying 2020 wasn't a collapse because overall the year was up 18%. What exactly do you call a "collapse" then?

    Looking at end of year is a mistake sometimes and misses the fact that bear markets can be short lived. Like last year was like a +17% year, but you forget we dumped by about 12% in February/March. Or December 2021 through October 2022 we were down almost 25%. Yes, we recovered from the covid...

    Landman

    I mean, for the most part I've enjoyed the show. I even find (usually) the mother and daughter hilarious. This episode was just something else though. And it seems they've basically abandoned anything to do with oil/gas. We're 8 episodes in to a 10 episode season, and basically the only scene...

    Wow, so Texas Christian University apparently has trannies, and allow pets in their dorms? I can't even with this shit. Seriously, what the fuck is this? This episode on a whole is just...shit I don't want to watch. Stupid fucking son throwing his weight around? Great. A bunch of shit with...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    This thread makes me regret only going with a 4070 Super when I built my PC last time.

    The Pitt

    It seemed odd that it just so happens to be a day where a bunch of people started back at work after a long break. Guessing the infant has something like mumps from not being vaccinated and they make a way bigger deal about it than a doctor normally would.

    Weed Culture

    So I'm enjoying the bong a lot more than edibles. Oddly, I had leaned into edibles because I was under the impression they'd give longer lasting effects, but I've noticed the high I get from a bong hit can last me a pretty solid 8 hours (and honestly, I'll feel pretty pain free the entire rest...

    That's an easy trap to fall into. You think "surely the market can't go up anymore" and then you're wrong for 2 years in a row and even though on year 3 it pulls back 20% in a bear, you're behind because you missed the massive run up to it. That's why time in the market beats timing the market...
