    Should probably not speculate until finishing, because the rabbit hole just gets fucking crazier. Edit: To clarify, in this thread. Have fun figuring out WTF is going on on your own.

    God damnit, now I really don't know which @Brodhi @Bodhy is the misc one. I really though he had fucked off back to misc, but apparently not? Either way, fuck him for making me always confused with one of our actual long time members.

    Lots of religious mentions in these votes. Is there some weird religious war going on under the surface of this board I'm unaware of (once again, outside of the Intifada thing)?

    Always feel weird with these votings because I don't frequent all the sections of the board like I did a decade+ ago. Zaara vs. Dicktrickle - Like this one, neither bothers me. So eh.

    Was going to respond to Sanrith the other day when he said I was making emotional decisions on when to sell, but I'm just going to quote you instead. These are the 3 points I've sold this year. Yeah, one of them was shit, but the trend was looking pretty bad.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Likely had a dodgy heart from the drug use. Combined with exercise and jumping into a hot tub. That's a recipe for heart failure.

    Holy shit, I hadn't seen that. That's a massive drop. Had been at about 16b for forever. I know Khan hearts dropped a bit.

    We moved in two years ago, and it's appreciated about $60k. But yeah, still nice. Plus we threw in almost all the equity we gained from our California house so we're a good $110-120k up if we sold. If that number gets high enough, we'll sell and build a house in Orange Beach, AL.

    That's insane. My house on the Florida coast less than a mile from the beach, in a tourist destination, is barely at $350k.

    Nope, this is only the second year. I had considered it though, especially after last year where it just progressively got lower. At the very least, doing quarterly. Maybe that's something I try next year. I'm honestly still feeling the whole thing out. At the same time, I probably overthink...

    I mean, it's not like it's doing great, either. Up half a percent after dropping 4% in the last month.

    Got 2 of those Halloween boss boxes from the Black Spirit's adventure, and got two Kutum Hearts. So now I have 2 Garmoth, 1 Karanda, and 2 Kutum.

    I mean, it's not my first rodeo here. How did "selling low" look last year? I waited all year for it to recover and it never did.

    Haven't done any selling for 2024 funds yet. Getting pretty nervous about the current market trajectory so I just pulled the trigger on 2 month's worth. I kept hoping we'd pull out of this rut. And we have, just in the wrong direction.

    I was thinking this was a relic of covid, but apparently last year was still $18M and 2021 was $38M. Not sure why this one is so shit at $3M? Did they not do a pass or something?

    I did 100 pities at Navarn and it still only took me maybe 7-8 hours? You earn basically no silver, but it's not a super long grind. That's with hedgehog though.

    And yet, markets are still going up. I'm guessing people are just thinking the Fed is a failure and they're going to have to give it up.

    Just wanted to correct you on your first statement. You said this was "pre-woke," but the Marxists infiltrated the schools long ago. It may not have been overt, but it was definitely there.
