    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    I find that they REALLY try to obfuscate your "returns" inside of a 401k because they don't want you to see how much of your growth was just you and your company match vs. the actual % change in the account. I do have a good barometer, though. I changed jobs in 2017 and decided to roll my 2...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Well he is an absolute fucking idiot, but in the best way for you. Now he has income and you have none; so you could *technically* threaten alimony if he tries to go after shit. Unless you think he would literally refuse employment to make you pay for a table and loveseat. Tell him that...

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    It's really weird that it started as him hating on a dude trying to help the most financially ignorant group out there and then turned into him hating on something designed for truly wealthy people because he is financially ignorant about its true purpose.....

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    See, this is the crux of my post above about his advice. To the vast majority of people, those are absolutely traps since you have to have a plan that they slot into before they perform the job that they were intended to do well. Insurance agents pushing Whole Life plans on people in 50k of...

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    I don't understand how people with no knowledge of his total outlook tell people not to listen to him. My whole family has been financially illiterate going back generations and taught me NOTHING about personal finances or how to build wealth (since none of them had any). To me, he was a...

    Well we know this is fucking fanfic. Carl's feet have never known the feel of being shod.

    Alien: Earth

    No one even remembers that Ripley sat out the first mission because she wasn't a trained soldier. They didn't listen to her, Paul Riser tried to kill her, and then she had to become the one that everyone relied on because she was smart about tactics. It was only the last 20 minutes of the...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Your dude is fucking panicking because he is finally realizing that his comfortable life of doing fuck-all while you work is about to be over. Now he is starting to understand that he will be jobless and have very little runway before he is going to have to find a job and start to be a real...

    The trailers have made it looks at least good enough to give it a shot. I am going in with super low expectations.

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    I am probably doing this prematurely since I am 44 at the moment, but my ex and I had a fee-based financial planner audit and so I got a roadmap to what retirement could be. My youngest is 6 so I have been thinking about 12 years from now when he hits college what it would look like, and I...

    Bro, every stereotype I heard about nurses turned out to be 100% fucking true. It is CRAZY (and so are they......but good for a fun time).

    Rick and Morty

    Well, the last 3 or 4 episodes were a good enough show for me to watch. Here's hoping that the continue making those and not the absolute abortion that was the first half (plus a few more) of this season where each episode will go down in the bottom 10 of the series.......unless the plumb to...

    See, I get this; and the girl that I am most interested in currently actually has 3 small tattoos. The kicker is that you would not be able to see any of them unless she was in a bikini. The amount of women I see on these apps that have near half-fucking sleeves that cannot be hidden by...

    That fucking sucks; I bet it must have been something about waves, current, and undertow. It is scary how fast that shit can go south in the ocean.

    Predator: Badlands

    It looks better than I thought, but goddamn why couldn't they just make the predator a practical mask instead of the CGI. No matter how "good" it is (and it isn't good) it will still look worse than the alternative.

    I don't care how culturally acceptable they are or aren't; they make girls uglier 99% of the time.

    That really is how it comes off to me. Some sort of "be different" mentality with a side of "don't understand what permanent means."

    Really, though. The amount of lower arm/ elbow tattoos that cannot be hidden......I'm talking 50% OR MORE.

    The amount of 30+ women that have shitty tattoos is TOO DAMN HIGH. The number that double down and get a bunch...also too damn high. It is nice because it nicely points out the ones that have absolutely 0 impulse control AND the ones that are so deluded that they continue to get more...

    Wheel of Time series

    You motherfuckers have now made me want to reread the entire series for the first time since I finished the final 3 books. GAH. I don't remember exactly why, but my mind still tells me that my favorite part in all of the books was Rand alone on Dragonmount struggling with who or what he was...

    We get our best episode of the season, possibly of the last 2 seasons, and no one says anything? I actually sighed and thought about how I was going to come and post how much this week's episode sucked BEFORE I watched it. Then it turned out to be good. It takes so little for these...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    The biggest thing I need to remind people is how hard it was to actually buy and sell bitcoin more than 5 years ago. If you didnt know ehat you were doing it was super easy to get scammed or just lose track of it completely.

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    I think it is one of my favorite CRPG's because of how faithful it is to the in-universe lore. There is just so much to like about WH40k and this game goes hard into all of it. Like when the killer of the former Rogue Trader was revealed it was only surprising until you though about it for...

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    I truly hope each of these games with cosmetics just containerizes their character selection screen as some sort of wardrobe program and gives it out as a way to "keep" those digital assets. Enjoy looking at your stuff once every few years.
