I'm probably the biggest Herbert fan I've ever met. Its very difficult for me to say anything bad about that series. Almost everything is colored so strongly by nostalgia for me that its hard to find faults. With that said, the "we're so good at sex its a superpower" shit Frank Herbert wrote...

grabbed some more SOXL this morning at 6.45, wish I'd been able to get more!

Putting aside any economic theories - anyone who thinks poor fat people are gonna eat less when food prices go up doesnt know any poor people, or any fat people. I agree with the statement that >80% of Americans should probably eat 50% less, I'm just saying food prices aren't ever gonna make...

You've got bigger balls than me holding inverse ETFs at SPY 357! I missed some profits by leaving early but its been fun riding TQQQ up the little nonsense rallies. Speaking of which SPY, tap tap tap, we're waiting I have come to believe that in the short term, right now, the market response...

I still don't get that "advantage" since the hair color already made it crystal clear they were bastards, but I'll give them this, they are at least using the out of nowhere black Valeryans in a way that is consistent with, and for some viewers enhances, the existing story instead of taking away...

I really hate this new meme, how Christians somehow have to apologize to degenerates for not approving of their degeneracy. Literally everyone on the planet is disgusted by gay men. Left, right, male, female, it doesnt matter. We all think you're fucking gross, gay dudes. Sorry, its just the...

I'm probably wrong, but I couldnt resist. I'm back in, TQQQ/SPXL/SOXL at these prices, I can't say no. Maybe I should have, but I didn't. Market, you have my permission to do another one of those retarded no-reason-for it rallies again.

I just read the funniest fucking way to refer to brits. Bri'ish Its funny because if you try to pronounce it you sound exactly like some prissy-ass Englishman talking about tea and crumpets. try it, its hilarious Reddit is a Treasure for the Ages

absolutely. For me this show finally found its legs with this episode. I may just be a sucker for surprise beheadings during dinners. But whatever, it worked for me.

well shit if its cheaper now you're speaking my language

thats fucked up, both of those casting choices look very good. Never watching this again, I spared myself the S1 finale and intend to continue sparing myself. But will continue to talk shit about it, because holy fuck did you see season1?

pre-peeled garlic? wtf peeling garlic takes seconds, like perhaps 2-3 seconds

Consistently, the last moment of each episode is the worst. They keep doing these absolutely retarded last second "reveals", and horribly. This show would be far better if they cut the last 10-20 second from each episode.

let my TQQQ/SPXL go for 6.8% profit day before yesterday. Holding non-inversed ETFs for too long makes my skin crawl. Lucky timing. Its funny cause I sleep like a baby holding SQQQ/SPXS

Any attempts to transform the homebuilding industry needs to make sure you don't end up in an iphone situation. When your home is built by hand it can be repaired and modified by anyone, by hand. When your home is built by a machine using machine specific technologies and tools there is a risk...

Put a quarter of my portfolio in TQQQ and SPXL last week. I know all our portfolios are going up today but still, what a week.

After the middle-school-play costumes in WoT I can't see any problems with the costumes in rings of power. I think my standards may have been permanently damaged by watching that show. This looks great. Casting and writing are another story

I'm gonna have to confess I had no idea they flapped in the comics because of the lack of animation. I always interpreted them the same way as the wings on Thors helmet - decorative, just something retarded comic artists thought looked good and went with it. The flapping thing cracks me up, it...

it was the single grossest thing ever posted in this thread, and that includes every single reference to cottage cheese

No no of course he has. The wings are normal Namor, as is flight. Its flying by actually *flapping* the tiny wings that I'm talking about. Watch the trailer. Its hilarious.

wait a second, they made Namor a Mexican* and now he flies by flapping the tiny wings on his feet? lol. lmao (*no I don't care; Mexican)

Fuck that style of graph right in its concentric asshole. There is no information conveyed by that graph that couldnt be better shown in a series of simple bar graphs. Which would have the added benefit that you wouldnt have to fucking read sideways curved text just cause some graphic arts...

theyre pulling off these last second reveals really badly. they love to end the episode that way, but they suck at it. a couple episodes ago it was the "pretend to send Galadriel off the island, then reveal her at the last second" stupidity. then this time the "oops it was just a hatchet not...

This was an awesome rabbit hole. I still can't wrap my head around the distinction between West and Midland. Your site says its sometime about the beginning of too vs toe, but this makes zero sense to me. Anyone have a more useful example? How is Utah accent different from West Coast accent...

While the midwest accent is indeed hot I have to argue with your insane statement that Midwest accent=no accent You're looking for West Coast Girls if you want no accent

the southern accent is hands down the hottest of all American accents a woman can have. if you're looking for vomit-inducing accents you gotta go farther north

Are the prices of ETFs based only on the price of the underlying asset (index or commodity), only on buying & selling of the ETF itself, or both? The reason I ask is that it seems to me ETFs don't perfectly track the performance of the assets they're based on, in some cases just a time lag but...

such a what the fuck moment. Women in childbirth are going through a lot, but "set me and my baby both on fire" had to be the absolute most retarded, least believable way they could have played the scene. also the least ethically acceptable choice in that situation, just absolutely retarded

The dwarves really are great. With the inexplicably black-out-of-nowhere dwarf queen I'm just trying to pretend this is like a high school production, and there was that one black chick, and they had to find a part for her even though its hilariously miscast, and she ends up knocking it out of...

closed the last of my inverse ETFs today. It was a fun ride down but I'm not confident it goes any lower, so this is my stop. what a great week

US10Y 3.7%, lol

Otherland by Tad Williams. Cmon its even got a black female protagonist, how can it go wrong. Its like made for 2022.

Had to google, the diagrams look weird as fuck, gonna need to investigate further to know whether I'm rustled

This article for once notices the central cause of the problem with modern Academia: https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/arts-letters/articles/academic-administrators-strangling-universities and then they come to the stupidest possible conclusion: get faculty involved in all this...

The dwarves really are great. Even if Durins wife is ridiculously, fish out of water, fat man in a skinny jacket level of miscast - she does a damn good job with it. I wish anyone acted like an elf in this show half as well as she acts like a dwarf.

Fucking smoke alarms deserve a rant thread of their own. That sound. When I hear that sound I am compelled to eliminate it as quickly as possible. Shit will probably get broken, people will probably get upset, but I have to eliminate that sound NOW. Afterwards its always like wow, I really...

Links an article from Ars Technica entitled "our dumb healthcare system" "I don't know why you're making this political" neither side is pro rape but thats clearly a left wing pro socialized medicine piece. Fair point on the deductible if they didnt include that into the average out of pocket...

While nobody's defending the cost being > 0, what a dishonest headline. It doesnt take long in the article before they admit that actually for insured patients the cost was about 7 times lower. And only about 10-15% of patients were uninsured. But somehow the "average" is 3500. Classic...
