I fail to see why this matters as much as they're saying. It sounds like a lot because the Yen is worth pennies on the dollar. That 2.8 trillion Yen? That's like $12 billion USD. The Yen hasn't been floating the entire global financial system. That's fucking retarded.

This show was fucking mental.

What does "financed" even mean in that case? On a credit card as opposed to cash?

Can't tell what's real or not. Makes the Kool-Aid movie joke from The Studio seem a lot more on the nose though.

Does the game eventually open up? I tried it yesterday and got up to the guy at the very start who gives you the bow book. It was a slog just to get that far though. I hate games where you have to spend 90% of the first 5 hours watching cutscenes and story shit and tutorials. Just let me play a...

The mother and daughter are funny in a "they're totally detached from reality" way. The lawyer and mexican girlfriend are, and have been, terrible. I was hoping the girlfriend would be written off the show, but it sounds like we're in for a season of him trying to woo a widow. How fun. Not a...

We talking about Stranger Things or Last of Us? I didn't watch either. But these threads amuse me. Shows for modern audiences? You're in one.

I don't know that I ever finished the game back when it came out. Maybe after Christmas though.

Was just catching up on this thread, and wanted to highlight your post. My brother-in-law had shown us Stremio earlier this year and I was just like whatever (I usenet everything). But we got it going this week and holy shit is it awesome. It's like Plex and torrenting in one without any of the...

Fucking hell, I completely missed this thing this year. I thought we used to get a notification or something? This bracket is terrible. Araysar vs. Lanx - Seems like the only viable person left in the whole thing? wellijustdontknow vs. Bandwagon - Would it be ironic if I said I just don't know...

We watched the first episode last night. I'm hoping my hypothesis is wrong because it seems super lazy. We'll see.

I was getting super bored with this one up until that point. It just kind of seemed to really drag on. But then the movie just goes all in, and it was great. And like @ubiquitrips said in his review, I was basically on board with however they decided to conclude the thing. Basically anything...

This show has become more and more unhinged with each episode. It kind of seems like each scene is almost a sketch comedy bit that's very, very loosely held together by this main plot. Like the porn store was almost irrelevant to the story, but was really there to just provide some laughs. The...

That's a shame. Wife and I started it the other day and it seems like it had the potential to be decent.

So economy is actually on the upturn but sentiment is finally catching up way too late?

Sounds like we've just been subsidizing the other plans for the last 4 years then. Switching from gold to silver will cut our premium in half, our out of pocket by 2/3, and shit like copays and prescriptions to almost nothing. Oh well.

This post made me laugh a bit to myself. I've mentioned before I had the bullshit jobs conversation with my coworkers probably 7 or 8 years ago now. Since it was F/A-18, which meant lots of engineers and mathematicians and shit as a make work program, my solution was that we could retool the...

We actually just met with some guy to talk about different plans (he was an idiot and didn't provide any help), but the summary is our premiums didn't really change whatsoever. The only thing we're considering is changing from a gold plan because we can't quite figure out what it's providing us...

I'm not sure I buy these numbers, otherwise the current model of massive hospitals buying up the regionals and building massive upscale compounds wouldn't exist.

I mean, if we're being honest, even in games like Arc Raiders it puts people off the game. I'd say the only place it's actually ever been successful is battle royales, the CoD/BF franchises, and for some reason Eve. Outside of that, pvp is just toxic every time.

An Act? Sounds like something Congress would have to pass, which means this is likely just more hot air. I don't necessarily blame Trump for it, but it doesn't fix anything.

C'mon now, she's a boss bitch. She's way smarter than her husband who became a billionaire from nothing. She learned it all through osmosis and then became better because she's a woman. And she's much more cutthroat and ruthless than he could ever hope to be.

Yeah, the acting and sets were phenomenal in this. They did insert a good bit of woke shit, like the black doctor being super smart and knew better than the white doctor, but couldn't say anything because racism. I'm curious how much of the political stuff is reality, because I couldn't tell...

And now he's struck paydirt on his very first well, which was already operating, and is now making $10 million a year. Seems legit.

Feel like they're missing the mark a bit. BBT going off on a tangent about breakfast food companies instead of how everything is made of oil? Really? Seemed too forced to me.

Feels like we're on our way to a bloodbath to end the year. Usually I'd say the fact that everyone is pessimistic about the market and feel like we're heading for a cliff would mean we've still got time and the market actually isn't inflated as much as it feels, but in this case the market has...

Pretty sure someone called this in this thread or in the General forums yesterday.

On the one hand, as an asset owner, I absolutely agree. On the other, I'm not super excited about an economy where everyone is fucking dying out there because of how bad it is, and I'm sitting on my throne like some rich asshole. I don't think that system is sustainable.

Because literally everyone is sitting there like @Haus thinking this is a giant AI bubble. But everyone also wants to ride it. Just not first.

It's pretty wild that it feels like the entire market will move on what Nvidia says.

That's weird, I was watching that and thinking that in the not too distant future we'd probably see delivery robots. But it's going to rely on autonomous driving. And then I read your post and I'm like, holy crap, if they did night delivery and didn't really mess with daytime traffic, that'd be...

Guess the magic of guessing, week to week, about a show like LOST almost 20 years ago are dead. Someone will figure the shit out in a couple of weeks. Oh well.

I was so tempted to take out a 10-15% bond position in our retirement accounts the end of last week, but I chickened out. Oh well. Speaking of tops though, I absolutely nailed our last living expenses sale at the all time high (whatever day that was, Oct 28?).

Why would anyone be upset? I don't think anyone is hoping the game fails. I think most of us just see the areas where they're fucking it up and hoping they fix it. That ends up being perceived as attacking the game because apparently some people think whatever the vision they have for this is...

I rewatched the first episode with the wife to see if she liked it. The part where the USDA head is talking to her is the most infuriating thing I may have ever seen. Instead of asking for answers, she literally just starts yelling at them. "Are there are questions for us, Carol? Anything at...

Am I missing something? It sounds like the compensation is almost identical based on what you said, except in the W-2 job it's in stock incentives...which, seems significantly less appealing than actual cash. Is it just that it sounds like a fun adventure?

Feel like many said similar years and years ago. The giant map thing I've just never understood. Giant maps just mean lots of empty wasted space.

Man, saw this thread get bumped and I was like...holy shit, how is this show still on? Then I saw it's only on season 5? I watched season one and it was good, but I remember quitting very early on season 2 (think my wife finished it). But that was a decade ago. 5 seasons in a decade? What the shit?
