    Fargo

    Sounds like another show I look forward to where the writing just kind of nose dives. Oh well. Will continue to check this thread to see if it's worth my time.

    For the broad market, this doesn't seem to hold true. So what are they trying to hint at? Are there plenty of overvalued companies? For sure. This just seems like another Zero Hedge panic article.

    Twitch.tv

    So I've got Prime, and run AdBlock and uBlock Origin, and I'm getting fucking ads on Twitch now. What the fuck? How do I fix this? The one ran 7 ads and went on for like 2-3 minutes during the middle of the stream. That seems fucking retarded. Edit: Shit, guess I should've read the previous pages.

    Genshin Impact

    So my gaming group wants to play this, but they mentioned that the anti-cheat doesn't turn off when you quit the game. Kind of makes me not want to play this shit at all.

    The Umbrella Academy

    Wife and I just finished season one last night, and I thought it was funny that she said she really liked the show, but she wishes they had cast anyone other than Ellen Page because she's awful.

    I had thought they were buying equities. That's all I was saying. There was all this talk about buying ETF's and the impact on the market. Usually when you say that, you think "stock market." Which is why I thought it was crazy they were injecting cash into that market. But buying corporate...

    Didn't realize they were buying bond ETF's. That's kind of a different story.

    Eh? I've been in several anechoic chambers. It's not some mind fuck of psychology. It's an idiot meme-maker who heard about it for the first time.

    Hackers (1995)

    Pixie cuts can be pulled off by attractive women, but they always look better with longer hair. It's basically a "I can get away with it, but be uglier than otherwise."

    Just like pubg, they finally start addressing the cheaters when I'm done with their bullshit game.

    Disney+ Streaming Service

    This is even worse than just not showing support. This is outright saying "you play by our rules or else." It's basically gotten to the point where living your life and not acknowledging their bullshit is seen as openly hostile. We've gone from "what goes on in the bedroom is your own business"...

    It's weird, you read some of the comments here and everything sounds great. But that Worth a Buy video I posted shits all over it; buggy, boring enemies, grindy, equipment is meaningless, etc. Not sure what to make of that.

    Crusader Kings 3

    Went ahead and grabbed this off Game Pass based on this thread. I just did the tutorial, and holy shit that's the most complex tutorial I've ever played. This game may be way too much for me to even comprehend.

    I'm watching old episodes, and on Thor: Ragnarok at the moment (from 2017). It's interesting because Mike basically says movie theaters need to die. For the money concessions cost, you can buy a giant TV and the movie companies can charge you $20-30 for a movie. Keep small art house cinemas...

    I'm confused, because those numbers don't seem to be big enough to move the entire market. I only skimmed though; were they leveraging? A few billion dollars sounds like a lot, but Apple for instance has a market cap of $2T. Throwing a couple billion at it wouldn't be that big a deal.

    Cool larp and all, but where's the evidence any of that happened? Where are the massive amount of companies missing earnings? Wouldn't we have had a massive market loss prior to this, and not a giant runup in August?

    The markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain insolvent. Keep that in mind. If you're nervous, it likely means your asset allocation is not correct for your risk tolerance. If you're too heavily invested in equities and nervous, it may mean you need to be less invested in equities.

    Eh, I mean, it's not like we're doing poorly. We're actually $9k off my original early retirement target this month, which a few years ago I figured we'd hit sometime around 2023 or 2024. Our taxable account is definitely not where it needs to be for us to start a Roth conversion ladder though...

    Absolute insanity. Wish I owned more than .4% or whatever the fuck the index is. Edit: Just called my mom. Sounds like they started buying at about $200 and have been buying continuously ever since. From the sounds of it, they've got about $1.5M just in Tesla. Wish I had that same kind of faith...

    I don't think the election will impact much (probably a slide if Biden wins), but I think sometime around the end of the year we're going to get a major correction when this shutdown finally comes to roost. We're on borrowed time I think before the economy takes a major hit.

    I grew up on them, and this was kind of meh. I mean, it was nice to see Bill and Ted again, but maybe I'm just too old for this shit? It wasn't bad, just not really good either. I watched the first within the last year and enjoyed it. My wife slept through most of it and after I told her it...

    Not unusual. I remember seeing caravans of them driving through Kentucky every couple years over a decade ago. They come from all over the country.
