Every millennial on this show drives me fucking insane with how big of assholes they are; Tracey Ullman's daughter and her husband, the sweater guy, the two bitches at the drug store, all of the secretaries. They're all so grating with their entitlement shit. And I can't tell if they're written...

I guess it depends on what they do. If they raise rates and we have a crash, will they stay on course? If so, there may be hope. If they lower them again we just kick the can down a bit further and the market finally realizes that we're a ticking time bomb. Edit: And like Sanrith said above, we...

I guess you have more faith in the Fed than I do (or maybe I should say Lee does). I think we're finally at the point people have been waiting a decade for, where the Fed interventions finally don't have enough away and it all comes tumbling down. I think at best, they may be able to deter a...

How is inflation off the table? Fed just announced 3 plan rate hikes. Inflation hasn't even started.

Getting old is fucked up. I was active duty from ages 18 to 24. I remember the crusty old officers and senior enlisted guys who seemed ancient. Like one of my XO's who I was so impressed when he maxed out the PT test (keep in mind he was a fucking Major in Special Forces, so uh, shouldn't be a...

Covered? Like, insurance? I have no idea. All this wind talk is funny to me though. City I lived in in California would regularly get 60-70 mph gusts, and being the desert, dust storms weren't unheard of either.

Prices here in Florida haven't slowed down. We kind of regretted our timing as we sold in California in April, and then bought here in October. But it's looking like it really probably didn't matter. I'm definitely interested in seeing what happens this spring. If people see the inflation and...

If people like you would start ignoring it, maybe that'd happen. As it is, you start reacting to it and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Just know you're part of the problem.

Been out of town for a couple days, but my sister-in-laws family had their house destroyed in Kentucky, and her aunt died (heart attack during the tornado). Sister-in-law said that the coroner had a property assessor with them for addresses because there are basically no houses (it's close to...

I mean, he's definitely the biggest fangay of the game on these boards.

Except all a war is is deficit spending. It's not the colonial era where we plunder a country's natural resources and come out ahead. We're not lacking in deficit spending, it's why we're as deep in the hole as we are now. The lesson the Fed learned from the 2000's wars was that we can print...

Probably. Just like how porn decided the Beta/VCR debate, titties have the power to miracle currency into adoption.

Guess there was a pretty severe tornado tonight. Hearing it's been going for over 150 miles so far. Friend's parents live in Mayfield, KY I believe and had a boat knock out a wall. Used to live in that area a decade ago and I fucking hated tornadoes.

It's sad, we've been in the "we don't need anything" demographic for a few years. But I'd totally be stoked for some socks.

True, although my dollars are also worth 20-50% less, so maybe it's a wash?

Strange, because this feels like the worst economy of my lifetime. Definitely worse than the tech crash, and I think because of the inflation and long duration, worse than the Great Recession. Take the stock market out of it and nothing looks like it's going well. Heck, just the fact that...

Did they fix it finally?

Investors don't know what to do with good news anymore? So it just stays flat.

Almost green today. Meanwhile it's down 30% in the last month.

Yep. Back at $23. Down 20% now. Like I said, I'm done with this one after this.

Don't forget PLTR which is down another 2% today. Once I get out of this one, I'm never buying this piece of shit company again.

Just finished 14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible, about a Nepali guy attempting to break the record of the completing all fourteen 8000 meter peaks in 7 years...in 7 months. The guy is pretty nuts, previously being a Gurkha and in the Special Boat Service. It's on Netflix so pretty accessible.

Yeah, looking at those numbers, watermark is nerfed into the ground. Those are horrendous. It was already pretty grindy for anyone who isn't putting in several hours a day. It's now just going to cause people to say fuck it. Because the reality was, the difference between 500 and 600 was barely...

Found the guy whose parents walked around naked.

That's a tough question because it really focuses on what we want as a country. For someone like me who thinks that government spending is the problem, then yes, people making under $500k a year should be able to take advantage of as many tax deductions as possible. Because right now people in...

Yeah, we already knew that was in there months ago. Edit: I should add, the whole thing is just another attack on the middle class. Read someone's comment elsewhere that said (paraphrasing) "No one is becoming super rich with a backdoor Roth (or mega-backdoor Roth). It's just a tool to help...

Isn't failure pretty standard in a roguelite?

It was okay. Bottom of the middle tier is about right. Oddly, Awkwafina bothered me a lot less in this than she did in Raya. She's still terrible, but I think because they really relegated her to a side character, it wasn't nearly as bad.

It has to be. Every time I bring up EV's, I bring up the power grid. They already complain about how our power grid if shit and can't keep up. But let's replace all combustion engines? Good luck!

This happened to me with PLTR. Several times. Thought it was going back up when it hit $23. Bought back in. Nope, it's down almost 7% just today, and 30% in the last month. Think the easy money market shit may be over finally.

Nope, this was a first. Probably a last, too.

Finally got around to watching this and I'm super disappointed that so many people here liked it. This was horrendous. Some of the worst writing I've seen in a while, for sure, but the directing was also terrible. Especially the last episode. Everything was so telegraphed and then they spend 5...

I own like 90% of the survival games on Steam. At this point I don't think there any releases that aren't unfinished copycats. For some reason the genre is just plagued by the same problems.

Wow, what a bigot. If you're not exposing your 6 year old to docking, I'm pretty sure you're committing a crime in 2021.

Just hoping the market outpaces inflation at this point. Otherwise I'm fucked.

It's funny, because I don't particularly love dividendss, but not because of the taxable event. It's more just that they don't seem to perform as well. Like he mentioned, after the dividend is paid out, the stock drops by that amount. The person who wrote that letter seems like the type that...

So I guess you see this as separate from the expected taper drop? Meaning we potentially recover over the next 3-4 months before getting another taper correction. Which then leads into whether it keeps dropping, or the Fed changes their mind?

Hard to show off your new phone when you're also a Karen who is afraid of being around your friends. So what's the point when you're not showing off anymore?

That really nails it. I've seen posts on FoH about how mobile games make infinitely more money than classical gaming ever will. Why dedicate resources to it then? Go after the easier money and tell "gamers" to fuck off.
