I've been putting off buying Elden Ring for years. It's on sale a decent amount right now and I'm tempted to buy it, but I feel like I'm going to end up like you and it's just...not for me.

You expect blatant propaganda to have good writing?

I feel like this describes just about every "mystery" show lately. Cool concept for a first season and it's clear they had no fucking clue what to do with it after that. Yellowjackets, From, Stranger Things, Severance, Westworld, Leftovers, even a comedy like The Good Place. It makes you...

I've made this post several times over the last two decades, but if shit really hits the fan where you'd need gold, you would've been better off with bullets. And if you need bullets, the reality is you probably should've made a plan for either family or neighbors, on large scale (dozens or...

Some of my wife's family work at the gaseous diffusion plant in Paducah. They were getting ready to decommission it sometime in the last decade, and then it was like, just kidding, we should spin it back up again. This country doesn't really take nuclear seriously.

The difference is Walter White and Saul Goodman are rational characters who descend into dark places due to circumstance, whereas Carol Sturka acts completely irrational and narcissistic in basically every scenario. Anyway, for 9 episodes of this show, I feel like not a whole lot happened. You...

His point is that Congress (or the IRS?) would have to adjust the capital gains brackets incredibly frequently to adjust for hyperinflation. Otherwise you're paying current rates in pulling out millions in equities to pay for your bread. And I don't know about you, but I don't see a situation...

Maybe they're counting on no one caring about Marvel anymore? What's the last one that wasn't a gigantic flop? Can't count Deadpool either since that wasn't really the same.

I'm sitting here wondering if that Red One movie with The Rock wasn't inspired by someone watching the beginning of Scrooged with that Lee Majors movie where Santa and Mrs Santa and the elves all break out guns to fight off whatever it was.

I'm traveling, but there was a portfolio I saw a long time ago that's probably right up your alley. I want to say it was called golden butterfly, but I don't have my bookmarks to confirm.

This is recency bias. Look at a historical chart of gold prices and tell me how you would've felt investing into gold in the 80s without its price moving for two decades.

I remembered hating Skyler, but holy shit was she a repugnant character. Vince sure does know how to make unappealing female characters. I think that's why Pluribus is floundering, because Carol fucking sucks. Then again, if Carol had been a male character, you'd cut out 90% of the retarded...

It's a bet on the US economy. If you assume the US economy keeps chugging on, you invest in the public companies that encompass it. Not only that, but it refreshes itself dumping the losers and adding the new winners. Do I think the US economy is impervious? Obviously not, see my posts in the...

I was bored to death this episode. Carol just isn't interesting. It's so odd because we started rewatching Breaking Bad and a lot of the cinematic elements are identical, but it's just so much better to watch. I also feel like that restaurant scene was really jarring with all the cars driving...

What's the 1996 door? A massive run up for 4 years?
