It looked to me like Warren realized he had the wrong envelope, didn't know what to do, showed it to whatshername and she just saw the words "La La Land" on the paper and said it without really looking at it. Sadly I watched that and as soon as she read it I changed the channel since I didn't...

Yeah, I have no argument with anything you said here. Going on vacation is fine, it's just about where you prioritize it. I went fishing in Alaska this summer, although it was only for 4 days and I don't feel the least bit bad about it because I didn't sacrifice anything more important for it...

Just go to the company website, find a picture of the upper management team, photoshop dicks in all of their mouths, and then enclose it with your resume as an example of your skills. This will guarantee you only get jobs in places where they have a sense of humor and/or hate their upper...

I imagine Adebisi's managers being in a conference room and going "Well, we have to lay somebody off, who should it be?" and the boss says "Just have IT check the weblogs and lay off whoever has the highest message board post count." Also I made a squarespace website once for a local school and...

Unless you're a real weakling, don't get too hung up on weight. You don't want to carry 20 lbs of shit you don't need, but I think for a lot of those ultralight guys it's more of a religion than any practical reason. If you're cutting the handle off of your toothbrush to save weight you're...

You couldn't be more wrong. I spend every day doing what I like to do. Maybe that's the reason I don't think it's worth thousands of dollars to hike in mountains that are halfway around the world instead of the ones I can drive to in a couple hours.

That's still some high dollar pussy.

About 20% is where I'm at too, although I was lucky enough to inherit 50% of a piece of land that is worth $5+ million and could be leased out for at least $120k a year I choose to bust my ass and live on $30k a year because this cowboy shit is just so much fun.

For the record, I'm not saying you can't go on vacation or ever go out to eat or whatever, you should just prioritize it behind your savings, because compound interest is so fucking effective on money you save in your 20s and 30s and so much less effective on money you save in your 50s and from...

Whatever you want. The good thing about it is that there will be about 20 times as much of it as you gave up in your 20s and at that point you may not have the option to work and get more.

It's tough to get more bang for your buck than IRA in your 20s, or better yet, your teens. You could even stop contributing in your 40s while your kids are in college and probably still come out ahead of someone who didn't contribute in their 20s and goes hard in their 40s-50s. Also, the...

Come on now. That corvette he bought and then totalled at age 24 was way better than financial security in the golden years. My cousin's husband works in the oil fields and he told me about a kid that worked 2 jobs there right out of highschool, close to 80 hours a week with no days off for a...

Maxing the employer match should be the minimum level you should consider. Maxing the federal limit is a goal to shoot for.

This. Go hard on the 401k from the first check. There will never be an easier time to do it. You can't miss what you never had.

Getting grilled chicken at KFC is like ordering spaghetti at a Chinese restaurant. You're in the wrong damn restaurant and even if they give you want you wanted, it's not going to be good.

Yeah, 200 years ago or 2000 years ago having an efficient body was a big advantage. In the current age of unlimited calories, it's a problem.

My aunt actually got my uncle a trip to an Asian massage parlor for their anniversary. They are both nice christian folks and apparently neither of them had any idea what goes on in those places so he went thinking he was just getting a massage. My cousin's retelling of his Dad telling him...

Yes, which gave me hope, but then he said "Our main story tonight is about Michael Flynn" and I turned it off. He did the same thing during the election. Led off by talking about how he doesn't want to talk about the election, then spent the whole show talking about the election. Someone...

5 guys is very tasty, but also overpriced. I tried out the new one in Billings over the weekend and found it to be quite satisfactory. When Noodle immediately agrees with anything you say about food, you have to take a hard look at yourself.

As old Fred Nietzsche used to say "Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies".

It will. It's pretty handy when you need to get in touch with someone whose phone number you don't know as well since everyone has FB.

How does it feel to be so wong?

WTF? Now I can't take anything you say in this thread seriously. Welcome to Noodlesville.

I love FB messenger.

From what I've heard the Russian mail order bride thing doesn't work too well because Russia, while shitty, isn't shitty enough. All these hot blonde chicks think they're going to the US to be some rich dude's fuck doll and live in a mansion but what they don't realize is that American hot...

I'm with you on this. I don't want sugar on my tater chips. I'm more of a salty/sour guy, hence my love for salt and vinegar.

I think I'm going to need a lit professor to explain wtf I just spent 10 hours watching. The acting, writing, and especially the cinematography were amazing but what the point of it all was I have no fucking clue.

What was the situation where you couldn't get around? If it's just a couple inches of snow and ice then your cars probably do better than a bigger vehicle and certainly better than a pickup truck just because they handle better. If you're not dealing with deep snow then your current cars...

The show is funnier when Todd is a fuckup but it makes it less believable to me. I really feel like they went to Oregon to make the show more entertaining, not because they actually thought that they were going to make money mining there. Maybe I shouldn't be so cynical but the whole "we went...

Do you know how rare something like Trump is? Once in a lifetime or maybe less. This is the kind of thing that should be happening every election cycle. I don't think Trump is a step in the right direction with regards to what he wants to do with the country, but he is a sign of hope that...

I can't imagine any kind of study that could be made on this. I'm just talking about being rational. It's not like there's any evidence to what you're saying. Having two parties means your choice is between two rigid ideologies that are BOTH going to be wrong about a lot of shit all the time...

Again, there is no rational reason outside of tradition that these "halves" of the spectrum exist.

You think this because you've been told it all your life, but there's no rational basis for it. There are not two kinds of people that are bound to have certain opinions by their very nature. Right wingers and left wingers agree with each other for practical reasons, not rational ones. The...

Turned the episode off halfway through when I saw he was just going to talk about Trump the whole show.

Noodle if you don't stop posting this shit we're going to have to import the faggotry rating from screenshots.

This is how I envision this meeting going down...

I've never met anyone from this board but I've met EQ people IRL quite a few times and it was always a good time.

I sometimes ponder what the point of these boards are since I spend so much time on them. I used to get into the debating more, but after a while it's just the same old shit with the same old people over and over. People hammering current events to fit their worldview and other people...
