    Ok, I might have asked this before but I am struggling a bit with my index fund allocation. I have VTSAX (Total Stock Market, 74%), VTIAX (International, 20%), and VBTLX (Total Bond, 4%) in my portfolio because I am an amateur and wanted to go with the boglehead 3 fund allocation. The problem...

    College Football 2020-2021 Season and the Covid-19 Bowl

    I'm going to be honest with you. If the whole OU team kneels before a game I'm probably not going to watch this season. I'm sick of politics in my sports.

    The Fast Food Thread

    Ok frito burrito lovers I came us with an approximate solution. Order the new beefy burrito from the dollar menu, sub real cheese for nacho cheese, no rice, add red strips. Those are the crunch in the new nacho cheese double thing on the dollar menu. The extras make each one two bucks but it is...

    Lovecraft Country

    Look at the guy who has lived in a representational democratic republic his whole life tell you voting does not matter. 4/5ths of the world would shank you for the chance to choose their ruling class. As for 'voting' with your time/money not meaning anything.... ask Marvel or DC's comic...

    Lovecraft Country

    I agree with all of this except the very end. Chuthulu mythology was never about 'humans are the real monsters;' it was always 'humans are the real monsters when they are secretly cosmic monsters.' That is actually the main thing that disappoints me aboutthe premise of this show. Focusing on...

    I'm going to have to see if mine has the chili cheese ones, those were my absolute favorite growing up. The nacho crunch stackers are decent but my issue is that they are *literally* a double decker taco but with nacho cheese instead of beans in between the tortilla and shell. Is it really...

    It is hard to pay a couple of bucks for a package of something that I have been paying 10 cents or less for my entire life. I get why, it is just hard.

    Energy Drink Thread

    Update on the Mio energy drink. I have the Acai Berry Storm and squirted two full pushes into a 10-12 oz water (says 1 squirt per 8 oz). It may be too much but I like the flavor and it definitely isn't weak.

    This is exactly what I was thinking. He wanted the story to be good and they wanted it to be inclusive.

    Lovecraft Country

    I have too many books on my plate to dig into this one, but I generally like Peele's stuff (I thought US was great). I will give it a watch but I am skeptical because when he does racism he makes it almost comical. One of the reason I liked US so much is because there wasn't really any racism...

    Lovecraft Country

    So you're saying someone cannot have an opinion if they are a huge HP Lovecraft fan but also think that this is a stupid concept? Acknowledgement of racism? They literally talk about saying which is worse, white people in the 50's or cosmic horror monsters. I'm not saying that it won't be...

    Path of Exile

    Why not add them to beastcrafting, fossils, incursion rooms, and syndicate benches? What about essences? So much of that shit is ridiculously underpowered and worthless that adding functionality there with no new bloat would be smart. But they cling to dumb shit for the sake of.... something...

    So I made this bad boy in Harvest by grinding currency to buy the set of cards that give you the 6-link Crusader Astral Plate, then working with a friend to get all suffixes blocked with no prefixes, then slamming three aug physicals on it to get explody chest. Then we gambled twice with remove...

    Lovecraft Country

    I am all for that sort of stuff as a backdrop; the Umbrella Academy had a major storyline about it that didn't seem forced because it was proper for the time period. This, however, seems way too on the nose since it literally talks about whites in the same sentence as said cosmic horror like...

    I am in the heart of growth west of Houston (fort bend county). The lowest prices houses in this community are in the low 400k, and for Houston that is upper middle class. I only say all that because they are putting in a brand new Popeyes smack dab in the middle of our planned community. It...

    9 year old me still remembers Raph running down the street yelling "Come back here....I'm not finished with you yet.......DAAAAAMMMMMNNNN!!!" That was the longest, loudest cuss word I'd ever heard in a movie that I was allowed to watch.

    It never was, you dumb fuck. I have a 2 year+ backlog of 15 games because I have a life outside of the computer. Your 1000 alt spam? Sure it may be the easiest way, but it isn't fun. I still play POE because it is fun; but every league they add shit ass mechanics that make it less and less...

    You are the most pretentious cunt of a video game player on this forum; and that is saying something. If you poke fun at semi-casuals for being normies than I relish the title.

    Path of Exile

    Why not? Who gives a flying fuck if 1% of the playerbase is done after 3 weeks? The other 99% having a better experience *should* be the focus. But if they did some sort of internal data gathering showing that 50% of the mtx purchases come from that 1% then they have a marketing and engagement...

    Path of Exile

    I don't think anyone is arguing that the harvest mechanic should stay. All of it was terrible. What confuses me and a ton of other people is the fight against better crafting. That is what everyone loved about this league. But instead of saying that some level of that is what the developers want...

    Yeah, why should those fucking normal people with only a few hours to play each day get to enjoy all the content in the game? If you cannot spend 8 hours per day grinding then fuck your normal ass. Go play Minecraft.

    College Football 2020-2021 Season and the Covid-19 Bowl

    Because there is no NCAA football championship for whatever reason. That is why everyone always calls them MNCs; short for mythical national championship. So it can go on because the NCAA never had anything to do with it in the first place.

    The league mechanic was shit but the deterministic crafting opened up a whole bunch of casual and semi-casuals, like myself, who had never bothered with POE crafting before because the barriers to entry in time, money, and knowledge were all too high. It changed with this league. A ton of us...

    Nope, they introduced a mechanic that made the entire game more accessible to everyone and now they are going to give us back the shit from before. They better have a doozy of a league mechanic lined up for the next one or everyone is just going to remember how much fun it was to craft their own...
