Maybe I have a screw loose 🤷‍♂️. Would I personally hang out with Gus Fring on a Saturday night? No. Do I like watching him as a character on a TV show? Absolutely. Liking a fictional character for what they bring to a movie or show is totally different from finding someone personally...

I liked most of the characters in BB. I think a lot of people did. I liked Walt, Jessie, Mike, Gus, Saul, etc. Hell, I even liked a lot of the minor characters. Likable characters can do bad things. But bad characters are hard to like regardless of what they do.

Biomes look great. Feeling stoked to try the game out. Personally I'm totally fine if this feels like Norrath reskinned, something totally new, or something in between

You provided a lot of information here and I really only have one question: do you mean that your ex-wife is currently your long time girlfriend? Or do you mean that you dated her a long time before you married her and you're now divorced?

Nevermind

Jesus, it's like three dudes all struggling to share the same brain cell.

Depends on the loot tbh. High resist geared tanks and monks can tear though casters.

Was going to say the same thing. BoB was a bit of a slow build. First two eps were good enough to keep me watching for now. I like the narration giving info on some of the behind the scenes stuff you don't normally hear about- the bomb sight thing, the ground crews etc. But I'm a sucker for...

Ok, ok, fine. Let's see. If I really thought about it, I'd say this about the subject: 1. Fuck revamps anyway. Every once in a while they are worth doing for certain movies, in certain circumstances, with the right cast and crew. But only about 5% of revamps actually hit that formula. The...

Reasonable assumption, but no. I've got my vices but overeating isn't one of them.

No, no. By all means, keep objecting to the replacement of skinny people with fat people in movie revamps. I don't care enough about the subject to try and argue with you either way. I was just trying to figure out the point of the post. Now I know. Carry on.

What does this mean? You want the new one to look more like the old one? Or you just don't like the heavier version?

Yeah I consider myself more of an investor rather than a trader, but I've definitely noticed a lag between crypto prices and crypto-adjacent stocks. Some of the outcomes seem extremely consistent. Can't help but think there are traders making money off the lag time.

Woohoo. That's a list of pretty much everywhere I put my gbtc profits after I sold. Nice to wake up to that. Of course it's crypto, so it could be down double that by lunch (or up twice again).

I decided to just forget that the show is supposed to have anything to do with the True Detective IP and I find I'm liking it a lot more. That, and the second episode was definitely better than the first.

🔸 U.S. FILES NOTICE TO SELL $130 MILLION WORTH OF #BITCOIN SEIZED FROM SILK ROAD: BITCOIN MAGAZINE

We're arguing on the same side here (that every season of Fargo has had overt supernatural) but I gotta point out that this is not an example of overt supernatural. This is a great example of hinting at supernatural without giving the viewer seemingly indisputable evidence of supernatural.

Been years since Ive seen S1, but I'm specifically remembering him straight up vanishing from a basement with no windows or doors- basically he went through cement walls- that's overt.

A literal ghost led that woman to the dead scientists... And to be clear, I mean heavy-handed compared to the rest of the TD IP. Edit: In Fargo you have had overt elements of supernatural every season. You can argue about how overt or how subtle, or how long the aliens hung out and did...

I tend to dislike really heavy-handed supernatural stuff IF it's incongruous with the previous seasons in a series. This season of True Detective, for example, is definitely cranking the heavy handed overtly supernatural stuff way higher than the previous seasons that mostly just hinted at it...

As someone who worked for a federal agency that had frequent interactions with those other agencies, I can attest to the truth of that statement. The Coinbase lawsuit is a completely different lawsuit from Chevron, which is in front of the SCOTUS. However, it seems extremely likely that the...

For those invested in defi and altcoins, this is a really big case to keep an eye on: Supreme Court likely to discard Chevron - SCOTUSblog If Chevron is discarded (and it looks like it will be), it's going to have a huge impact on Gensler and the SECs ability to regulate the crypto space. Defi...

So S5 was ultimately about... forgiving student loans??

Yeah, that's where we disagree. I think scams abound in crypto world, but I don't think everything is a scam.

lol if you have ETH at a $178 cost basis, no one is going to blame you for taking profits. And yes, decentralization is definitely something that makes BTC unique. It's one of the the reasons BTC is worth so much more than the other coins. Any crypto that doesn't have the level of...

Right, but it's the judge's job to determine if the 1933 Act applies to crypto (or anything else). It definitely matters what the judge thinks of the Act, insofar as how it applies to crypto (or anything else). That's part of what interpretation is. She can't say something like "I don't like...

Wow, Judge Failla says the Securities Act of 1933 is outdated and doesn't allow for new technologies like crypto. "We've had a good run... but this is something new." I frankly was not expecting this.

SEC getting killed in oral arguments vs. Coinbase today. Judge making it clear she isn't buying (at least some of) SECs arguments for why BTC is a unique case over other coins. Stuff im reading sounding very bullish for defi.

Anyone with big tesla bags?

Respectfully disagree. The philosophical issues the script tackles and the depth of the dialog go way, way beyond the scope of dime store stuff (not that I have anything against pulp- it has its place, but this isn't pulp).

No lol. The writing in S01 was awesome. For sure McConaughey made it even better, but you're crazy if you're comparing the S01 script to dime store stuff.

The TD show is never going to be judged against the dime store trash novels of yesteryear. All seasons after S01 will be judged against S01, as they should be. And S01 set a really, really high bar. As for this season, after 1 epsiode I'm pretty meh. I think it misses a ton of the subtlety...

BTC has been as flat as I've ever seen it since Fri. Crazy how quickly this crypto merge with tradfi has impacted typical dynamics. This week should be pretty enlightening as to how things will likely play out for the short term imo. The TA people I know are suggesting we are leaning...

Wish I could point out all the ways this theory is ridiculous and unlikely to happen but... TBH, if something like this were to happen, BTC would be the best hedge. Until Satoshi wakes up and joins forces with Michael Saylor and a few others and they perform a 51% attack and control all the...

We are going to get money printing and rate cuts either way- a Trump victory probably just turns a crypto bull run into a mega crypto bull run.

If you have any doubt that blockchain and tokenization are going to be a big part of our financial system (and our life in general), just watch this interview with Blackrock CEO Larry Fink: The only question is which current products are going to blow up and which ones are going to get...

Blackrock targets Boomers for BTC in new ad. https://x.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1746539470491447585?s=20

Larry Fink just got outed as a btc maxi lol Edit: (Actually he may not be a maxi- just very pro blockchain/tokenization). This was him in 2017

Not very forward-thinking for a company named Vanguard.
