    The Netflix Thread

    Alice In Borderlands was cool as shit. Lots of people hated on it, but for a Netflix show it was legit. Here’s to my guy with the white hair, what a champ

    The Synthwave Thread

    Nirgon linked The Magic Sword, that whole album that starts with ‘In the beginning’ is good. Beginning takes around 4 mins to ramp up, then punches you in the balls.

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    Far fetched, but if Baker gives them a spark and he’s on the fence, I could see Staffords retirement decision being easier

    No, I’m definitely not sure. Great actor, have to admit, you don’t know if it’s a man, tranny, butch, or other

    The Peripheral

    So she saves the town and that makes sense. The town going up would rapidly increase the blackjack, so on the surface her sacrifice all adds up so far. She also prevents the secret plans from being captured by the socs and the preps, or whatever the 2 factions are, which still makes sense bc...

    How do you deal with someone's suicide?

    Lost my buddy that brought me into MTG, Eq, and Diablo a few years ago. Agree it’s not your fault bc you’ll naturally feel guilty about reaching out before, but you can’t go back. I know I’m better than most about reaching out to friends to check in on them, but after my bud’s death I told...

    I use a lot of those positions to build out portfolios and appreciate the simplified view with the $100 application. Peg would be awesome

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    mischief + a random mob generator would be neat - like every rare has a 15% chance to spawn something same level. Mobs drop their loot + % of random loot. Classic 1 mo, but gear is interesting BC the randomness can reach out to the next expansion. Ghoul Lord can be Drolvarg Captain, etc, but...

    Health Problems

    sorry kind of unnecessarily long. Since my terrible sleep night a week ago or so I’ve been sleeping like a baby. I think it’s become clear that work/life stress are the big offenders and I have to keep working at being grateful/enjoying life vs trying to get everything right. I’ll have...

    The Peripheral

    Still a fan even though the local drug kingpin is just filler plot device shit. They used him to further develop her brother at least, which was cool. I like how he thinks and isn’t scared to say what’s up. I guess the show can’t be totally about future land and one of the main themes is...

    I have this thing where I fall asleep / get enough sleep most of the time, but once in a blue moon my mind is just not going to let me sleep. Probably only 6-10 times a year. would you just accept those numbers and call it a day or try a sleep aid when you feel like you won’t fall asleep ?

    I enjoy the thread and can add that I prefer general strategy discussion and specific holdings talk, but I’m not a huge fan of the ‘markets down 2% today, I’m up 6k lulz, markets up today I have that position and I bought it all in the dip, guy. It’s not that we think you’re full of shit, I...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    I get all the hate and think some things were really well done. I won’t mention much hate bc I don’t have much to add that wasn’t mentioned: Hate The characters have depth issues. They don’t feel real. Even idiots operate in degrees of idiocy, but to witness the most wise and intelligent...

    I’ve swapped a chunk of bond positions to US treasury 3,6, and 9 month ladder. We’ll see how it works out as it’s my first time buying anything market with the plan to hold to duration.

    I’ll try to find it. If there’s no liquidity or opportunity cost concerns, then why wouldn’t I build that out to replace a majority of bond positions? I’m almost 40 but I’m the young punk at this really old fashioned firm, so im sure many people have been doing this for years, but we are not...

    A little embarrassing, but I’m buying clients their first cd ladders and treasuries and I really want to sub out the building of this bullshit. There has to be an easier way through wealthscape. I’m sure companies like Pimco will build it out for you, but then you’re back to not knowing what...

    Just an update on getting through the series - finished the Tides / Bonehunters.

    Awesome Games Done Quick 2016 - 2019

    I would agree that it’s unhealthy, but natural, to take too much pride in something like a gaming community or football team that you grew up watching. That’s why they’re called fans- fanatics! It is totally natural to feel like you’re part of that team of fans or gamers - that rare connection...

    Awesome Games Done Quick 2016 - 2019

    It’s fair to have some pride associated with consumption based on the selection and timing of the purchases. When you find a gem like Alundra, Wild Arms, Ogre Battle- or anything before the masses, then I think its ok to give yourself a little pat on the back for having the balls or tranny...

    I like to look up the results for standard tourneys, copy the best decks, and then tweak them with my own ideas for arena. I don’t have the time or will to be creative enough to build from scratch, but stealing the best deck is boring too - so meet in the middle! I think it’s top8 or some...

    EQ tlp is all about executing your plan. The game is great to repeat because you get to try to get the most out of your hours every time. just like the real world, some will cut corners, commit crimes, and operate on a whole ‘nother level - it’s what makes it fun and gross at the same time...
