    Actually I'm not sure @Masakari actually lifts. And I forgot about giant black nerd @Brahma, who's a brick shithouse.

    Only like 3 of us (and 2 of us are miscers). The other one is a dog fucker. But no one on the misc lifts anymore either, so yeah. https://www.firesofheaven.org/threads/arkks-weight-lifting-fitness-thread.68/

    Yeah, they'll be mutual funds (VTSAX) out of our taxable account. I've mostly been hoping we can hit 4100 for the first bit I sell. But with only a month left of the year, the time is running out for me to sell. It's a big risk waiting for a Santa rally at the end of the year, cause we could...

    Damnit, I strongly considered putting in a sell order for maybe 1/4 of our 2023 expenses yesterday. I'm not sure when Vanguard executes trades, as this will be the first time we sell. I imagine you probably have to have it in by a certain time and then it settles out at the end of the trading day?

    I posted about it about a month ago, but there was a massive institutional buy threshold at I want to say around 4030. Once we hit it, it was off to the races. I'm still concerned this is just a bull trap, but I'm hoping maybe we can hit something like 4200 by the end of the year.

    1899

    Disappointed that you all aren't enjoying it. Only read this thread so far, but it got me watching Dark and I'm really enjoying it (only a few episodes in, but I'm a sucker for time travel). Was hoping this would be just as intriguing, but it sounds like it's shit. Bummer.

    This is what I don't understand. The goal of interest rate hikes is to do just this. So why is the market down today? Shouldn't a bad jobs report be good news? It means the Fed won't need to be as aggressive.

    Those seem like Gen Z kids set in the 90's. Probably because that's what they are, and Gen Z kids are insufferable.

    Only watched the first episode, but Guzman is just creepy as hell as Gomez. I imagine he's probably not in the show very much though. Raul Julia just ruined it for everyone else though. He was perfect.

    Sailing on the Seas of Fate - Plague Ships of Nurgle

    It was similar, but the other guests were significantly older. That said, it was also Alaska and not the Caribbean like our Carnival ones. Honestly, I'm kind of surprised by people saying they saw fights and shit, or tons of super inebriated people. That's never been my experience. In fact, our...

    Sailing on the Seas of Fate - Plague Ships of Nurgle

    We sailed Carnival a few times in the 2000s. Never had any issues and I enjoyed every one. Did an Alaska with Holland America for our 10th anniversary in 2014. Can't say we'd ever go on one again though. Much like our Disneyland trips, it seems like something that is now ruined and we don't...

    It's not a class action. I think that's why it's weird. But it also doesn't really seem worth anyone's time. Unless you're a whale who has spent tens of thousands of dollars, you're not getting enough for it to be worthwhile.

    Probably need to separate the "company value" part from the "woke" part. For company value, Iger fucking crushed it. He really turned Disney into a juggernaut. But along with that, at least for the latter half of his tenure, it also allowed the woke part to creep in. Look no further than ESPN...

    My wife has started to watch the US version so I went and downloaded the UK one. She said it wasn't even comparable and the US version sucked. I enjoy the UK one. Not sure I care to try the US version.

    That doesn't seem like it'll work because a lot of that stuff isn't static. Or at least, it may be static but have multiple potential spawn points, like buy stations which can be in a number of places you won't see every time.

    There's a place you spawn in pretty regularly at the SW corner of the map (near the boat). You literally go there and it's probably a dozen guys that spawn and will two shot you. If you decide to push just 3 houses further in, where the houses are flooded, you get about two dozen more...

    I wonder if that's a thing then. I feel like the bots have been significantly stronger lately. So much so that if I run into any at the start there's like a 25% chance I get killed.

    Yeah, season one pass costs 1100 COD points, and you earn I believe 1400 if you unlock it all.
