    I think its more just young people being young and dumb usually. Its kinda rare to meet people 30+ still getting tattoos and most of them are usually drug addicts/criminals

    Mercy for None

    Just watched the first two episodes of this and it's pretty good. Guess the thread got derailed by these back to the future dipshits who think they're bringing back Oriental as a slur. Maybe we should all start calling people "Yellow" again too.

    Just binged this the past week. Its fine. I'm not entirely sure what story it's trying to tell. Hardy's character is way too much of a black box and surprisingly I think this should have been at least 2 episodes less, maybe even 4. The weirdest thing about this show for me though was.... what...

    The Waterfront

    Eh, wouldn't say it's terrible but I watched the first two episodes and have no desire to finish it. It's not particularly interesting and none of the actors are really selling it.

    That's not what the "too big to fail" rhetoric was about. The government doesn't insure huge portions of other sectors that house private citizens savings. That's not a thing. That was very specific and also true, and fucked. The AI crash will be like the dotcom bubble, not the housing and...

    I sold 15079 shares at $73 when it hit a stop I had set. 8 months later and those shares are worth 7 figures more than what I made. Oh well.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Heh, well the truth and reality are often wildly disconnected. It doesn't matter if the attempt will fail, the attempt will still be made. And that doesn't do any of us in this industry much good. I'm sure all the same conversations were had by our contemporaries 40+ years ago when...

    You need to invest atlas points to get ore. And when you do that you get more ore than you'll ever need, because it's only really useful early in a league for gear. There are also scarabs. The implementation of kingsmarch is actually one of the better core additions they've done.

    What the fuck are you smoking? They haven't capitulated to almost anything. That's literally why the game is so bad. And it's really, really fucking bad. Jonathon doesn't get it, at all. His ideas and vision suck. Chris had some great ideas and some not great ideas and when people revolted...

    What I'm looking forward to is... Hahaha, I stopped giving a shit about PoE2 in record time. I have 0 desire to ever play that game ever again. I'm not even in a "wait and see" phase. I just don't give a shit at all about it already. It's incredible how fucking tone deaf Jonathon is.

    The show is "good with some problems" Its worth watching, it's not must see. My biggest issue with the show was actually that they had a great character played by the right actor that they killed off WAY too early. Kinda like if the showrunners of Justified had just let Boyd Crowder die like...

    I wanted to test that shield on mercs since they have mana, but don't actually use it. In theory should be a nice, permanent flat boost for them. But at the prices now Im not gonna drop that many divs to test.

    Game is easily worth $28. End game is kinda boring, though they greatly improved it in the latest patch and seemingly are committed to continuing to do so.

    Comparing the central bank rates of countries around the world who's populations, corporations and governments treat and leverage debt vastly differently than the US does seems... fairly disingenuous.

    Keep in mind that the CAGR, or compound annual growth rate of the S&P500 is historically over 10% but that's year over year. Personal loans will be compounded monthly. Not really an apples to apples comparison. Also, the type of person that needs a personal loan (regardless of where they get...

    This is, not true. When I bought my house I had a huge, unexpected, catastrophic retaining wall failure next to my house that pushed mud and water throughout my basement. I couldn't afford to just pay for the new retaining wall + water remediation so I took out a 401k loan. It had a 60 month...

    The new ring doesn't have the downside of Doryani's and doesn't require mirrored rings with -res but "hopefully" other good stats. As a Scion it is laughably easy to hit the pen cap with the ring with some minor Aura and Flask investment. Purity of Elements + Purity of Fire + Bismuth + Ruby. And...
