I worked with a guy that would pull up his bank account on the phone and go around showing women it and asking for a date. It eventually worked even. There’s all sorts out there.

Interrogation techniques is an interesting thing to learn, I’ve done it as part of my job, and I’m sure lawyers get plenty of education on the subject. Summed up very simplicity, being direct is an awful way to speak to someone you don’t have an established relationship with. People generally...

I eat my pimento cheese like a dip. I used to like Stacy’s pita chips with them, but apparently they think a bag is worth 11$ now, so haven’t done it in a while.

It was invented in Texas at a minimum more than a decade before, but probably a lot earlier than that.

That's the one thing I dislike most about where this series is going, they're trying incorporate everything else in to legitimize it or something. I like mando for being mando. The less bullshit interfering with that the better. I get that they're setting things up, but there was just a lot...

What I learned about Coruscant is that it has fucking terrible CGI. This shit is last decade. Get out of here. Yet it looked so good in andor.

@Foler what’s your team?

I’m not a pats fan. I’m an insufferable cowboys fan.

My family are all patriots fans, I was born pretty close to the stadium. Last decade the family super bowl gatherings have largely been insufferable.

Zesty Italian dressing packet into a 16oz sour cream is pretty legit.

The biggest difference between svb and the other American banks vs CS, is that CS has been a garbage fire for over a year. That they are having issues isn’t exactly breaking news, and I assume would fuck with the euros a lot more than the US.

I’ve been looking for a good excuse to go after them, but have been pushing into Italy to follow my mission tree, and going after them would have made the coalitions big enough that it would have attacked I think. I’m actually surprised it didn’t. I think it’s now the appropriate time to go...

I'm kinda skeptical of the FDIC's plan to contain the contagion that is this by hefting the costs onto other banks. While it might ease the public fears that would lead to wider spread bank runs in the short term, and the government is obviously very scared of a panic, I think it's contradictory...

It's just proof sanctions are hurting russia. Think of the big picture.

That coalition was gigantic, so I just chilled in europe the last almost 30 years, spending 25 or so of it integrating Castile. It completely fell apart just before castile integrated. Mostly been waging war in africa, indonesia, India and the new world. I think it's going to take me 20 minutes...

Absolution is a big deal because it raises administrative efficiency, which has a lot of really, really powerful bonuses. It's one of the most important numbers to get high in EU4. Time to tackle this monster France today. Do I feel bad for doing that to england? Not one bit. It's weird...

I think there's about 100b total in the fund that they are pulling from. After that we'd be in economic fairy land, not that I'm denying we might end up there.

Went to Arby's today. Reuben sandwich was alright. Was going for the ribeye sammie but they were out of so many things, reuben was like my 6th choice. Gdamn the curly fries were extra crispy and just fucking amazing. Apparently 7-11 is doing 3.14$ whole pizzas tomorrow to celebrate pi day. The...

It's capped at 25Billion, so there's gonna be a lot of banks that go home sad after trying.

Okay, I honestly never expected people to be talking about how great the interest on their CDs is in this thread.

Nobody in line and got my money no problem. Better rush to the banks while all the normies are sleeping on this. They did have a security guard, which they’ve never had before.

Headed to the bank to withdraw all my cash. Planned to do this today for like two months, so feels like a weird coincidence.

This handyman saito episode. I didn't expect an animation flex like this. Bravo series, that was a fucking fun episode.

Guess we’ll just need a transitory decade of inflation so banks can prepare.

Why do I have a sneaking suspicion that people in the know will have a special hotline to get their money out, so once lawsuits come to shut this down they can screw over everyone else.

Tomorrow is definitely gonna be some madness at svib. I suspect the fdic will have some trouble making good on everyone having access to everything when a 100b in withdrawals come a knocking.

It almost certainly is a sign of both systemic problems and poor management at this bank. That said, properly managed this shouldn’t cause anything too bad, but if you have concerns about the people in charge properly managing this in light of how well the fed has preformed recently, I’d say you...

I bet the lawsuits to block this will be filed tomorrow.

25B of loans backed by treasuries feels like a fart in the wind if things kick off for real.

Don’t forget that their primary business is stealing money though.

I feel like announcing that the entire financial system is at risk of collapsing is probably not the sort of messaging you want here. This is obvious not good, but with proper management I feel like we could get through this with minimal pain.

If you buy a 1.5% interest rate 10 year bond at 70c on the dollar, it’s the equivalent of buying a 10 year with around 5.3% interest rate. Obviously how long each bond has left and what not will effect this math some. Not what I’d invest in, but there’s plenty of reasons that places would buy...

I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of democrats, especially Cali ones, have fears of losing money over this. With how aggressively the FDIC is charging forward with an auction I can’t help but feel they’ll get low balled and this will be worse than it needs to be. I guess they’ve decided it’s more...

Yea I don't get it. Most of my jobs I started within a few days of applying, or at most two weeks. My current job was the only aberation, taking about 2.5 years from application to starting. I almost blew off the eventual call and the four week time for starting as a prank call.

Seems perfectly reasonable to me. Gonna take some time to sort everything out, and these people know they are losing their job, so it will take incentives to keep the grunts from scurrying everywhere. Depending on how bad this is under the hood, I’d be a lot more worried about fuck you in the...

I gotta withdraw 10k on Monday, so hopefully I can be part of the problem.

Movie looks like stupid fun. Strangest incident I ever remember was a game where one person tried executing an unconscious enemy in a bigger fight. Three rolls in a row where the dice were all the worst roll possible and he ended up killing himself with his own sword. Player got mad and stormed...

I chose Kilwa because I wanted a colonial game where I lock Europe out of SE pacific until they come through the Americas. I’m playing on my steam deck and the screen is a little small. Mostly just trying new stuff.

Figured out why Spain and ottomans alliance broke, Austria got PU’d by Spain lol, so Austria isn’t even in the HRE anymore despite making up almost half of its territory. This is the most cursed HRE. Even Denmark is starting to invade them. HRE will probably be completely absorbed by 1700 by...

League war is frequently a long slug fest. I’ve had wars go 15+ years just to end in basically a draw cause everyone’s war exhaustion got to high. Big wars in the HRE tend to be annoying at times because of all the conderatti changing hands, and armies that weren’t there at all popping up...
