7 year gain in 5 years is a giant oof. Talk about purchasing power going into the toilet.

I hate to say it, especially because I feel like most people invest too conservatively, but if it's stressing you out that much it may be a sign that you're invested too aggressively. Have you considered taking up a position in a non-equity asset?

People keep talking about the game "the devs want to make" while ignoring that the game is being marketed to people that aren't the devs. If the devs just wanted to make a game for a dozen devs to play, we wouldn't have this thread. It seems like an irrelevant talking point. The game the devs...

Him explaining the whole thing to his daughter floored me.

I feel like this has come up so many times over the last decade. If it's not detached from the US economy, what's the point? I still contend that the only people still touting Bitcoin are doing it because they see it as an investment, and convincing more people about how amazing it is means...

If you have raids, they will have the best loot. If they didn't no one would bother with the raids at all. It's just a fact. It's why everyone ends up funneling into the same few areas in these types of games, and why making a massive world is meaningless. Your players will go to where the best...

I feel like the vendor thing is one of those things that makes sense in a realism sense, and is a neat "feature" when you first start. But eventually it becomes tiresome. People will say it's not a big deal to run to a dozen different vendors to sell shit, but after a while it's just tedium. You...

It's going to be a shit show. In alpha there are already (and have been for like 2 months) people camping out for the level 20ish world boss. In alpha. For a level 20 boss.

I'm not sure I've ever seen people go from "this game is going to be awesome" to just complete frustration and contempt as fast as I have with this one.

So I knew about Space Cop, but for some reason I got a recommended thing for a clip from Gorilla Interrupted, and it's blown my mind. So I started searching for stuff from it.

Wasn't he predicting a massive crash years and years ago? Feel like he's one of those "predict a crash every year and celebrate when it finally hits" guys now. Yeah, he made a good call in 2008, but that shit was obvious. I remember calling it out on the Fatwallet forums sometime around 2006.

I overthink things. Probably why I kind of like it so much, and why it works so well for PTSD. Allows me to finally turn the brain volume down a bit. With how expensive this shit is, I don't want to waste my money though. So I research. I don't want to even get started on the anxiety I have...

So these gummies are such a crapshoot, think I'm going to end up buying some buds at some point in the next week or two (likely after my actual card comes in). I didn't realize you needed to "prepare" it before smoking though. Would I be okay just finding any smoke shop and buying a grinder, or...

On the flip side, Netflix started this whole streaming thing and did it because they had tons of catalogues they could offer. You can say it's not good because Netflix is super woke, but are they really anymore moreso than the rest of Hollywood?

I mean, you see my point I hope? That show was on 25 years ago. You're hoping to see the tits of someone who was in their 20s who's now in their 50s. Hell, even Lucy Lawless was in her early 40s for Spartacus. I guess if you're really into old chicks though, you do you.
