    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

    Thought this was neat, and you all would like it since some of you simp so hard for her. Not sure why she had to lie about getting in trouble. This completely looks sanctioned.

    The Little Mermaid (2023)

    Holy shit, this thing is over 2 hours long, too? Drinker points out that the original was just 82 minutes. This one is almost an hour longer, with an identical story.

    Like I said. Although we don't live in Navarre, but close enough. It's going to be a shit place to live in a decade as every article keeps telling people to live here.

    I think a lot of the beach towns are like that, mostly as a relic of where they came from and now new development as people flock to the areas. For instance, I've mentioned my in-laws have a place in Orange Beach, Alabama. It's a single wide trailer on a double lot that they bought for like...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    I never got into the game. Think I got to the first little town, did a few missions, and it never grabbed me. Not even sure how many years ago that was.

    Black Desert

    My spring season one was the dumbest horse ever. Think it was at 11 skills at level 15. Forechop coupon'd it, and it didn't learn a single skill all the way to 30. I'm mostly annoyed that I got a 2nd dine (first was at 24 attempts, years ago). I really, really wanted that arduanatt. Guild said...

    Trained that T8 horse from season. Got it to courser by level 15 I think. Figured I'd try for an ardunautt with all these free materials that have piled up that they keep giving away. Fucking 2 tapped it, and got another dine.

    Black Desert

    Helm is caphras level, gloves and offhand are jetina (reform level 4). I haven't been grinding much lately. Like I said, I finished up my infinite HP pot and then basically did carrack shit almost exclusively. When I was doing Ronaros though, I was getting in generally 1-2 hours per day. I...

    S&P 500 cracked 10% for the year. Still another 15-17% to be where I predicted though.

    Not sure what my next step should be. I haven't really done any farming since finishing my infinite pot. Currently with about 6 billion silver. I know the recommended one is a Vell's, but I'm really hoping one finally just drops. I kind of paused doing AP upgrades since I was at super low DP...

    Probably about two weeks. Cobalt was super easy. It's the brilliants that suck. The combat artifacts aren't great either, but I was averaging 3 a day from barters at 3k. 5111 actually would make it insanely fast to get brilliants, but getting there from 3k takes a while. Guildie recommended...

    Yeah, the rocket thing seemed like a callback to when the show was a comedy. I laughed. This whole thing is very confusing though. Hopefully it starts to come together soon.

    It's funny, because my usenet provider price went way up this year, and I asked my wife if we should renew. She said no. I'm inclined to agree. For the most part, I just get annoyed when I watch TV nowadays. I don't even bother with movies anymore.

    I picked this up last week and watched the first five episodes. I've enjoyed it so far, but definitely became worried that it'd be one of those LOST type shows where you just spin around in circles without anything happening. Skimming recent posts, since I don't want to spoil anything, makes it...

    Pro tip, the new Magnus 2nd puzzle is easily done with a Lahn. Had 30 seconds to spare. Just fly over the gaps. For the first one, you don't need to stand on the circle, which helps so you can see everything.

    The Netflix Thread

    Seems like it would've been smart had they timed it around some big content release. Maybe they don't have that anymore though. Seems like the only thing I ever see is some race swap historical show. Netflix needs to just die.

    The Little Mermaid (2023)

    It's amazing what happens when you leave the bubble of what qualifies as "racism" in the US. The correct lesson might have been to acknowledge just how coddled blacks are in the US. Although considering how innocuous the comment was, there's no way she'd make the connection.

    I can't remember if this is the thread people were talking about credit scores, but it seems the most likely. Anyway, my wife checks hers regularly and she did it today and despite no changes to anything (it actually says this), her score dropped 18 points. The reason? We aren't paying our...

    Basically just more of the same that we've seen the past several months, right back to where we were. None of these rallies seem to have any momentum to sustain them.

    That to me says it's entirely tech driven. Small and mid caps probably getting crushed on the actual news while the big tech companies keep the indices afloat.

    I usenet that shit. Wife and I had a DVD collection that kind of disgusts me in retrospect (close to a thousand maybe when we combined them?). I gave those companies enough money for a lifetime.

    Only thing I heard was that they said DoD cuts were off the table. So sounds like more uniparty nonsense.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    My 16 year old niece was listening to some cover of Radiohead's Creep, and then turned on the original. I was thinking it was kind of neat she knew the song, and when I looked it up, realized it's over 30 years old.

    It was explained as a glitch, like it saying "redirect, 1042" or whatever. Why it had dozens of people singing Electric Avenue as a glitch was kind of weird though. I imagine just for the shock effect of how fucking bizarre that'd be as an ending to an episode.

    Yeah, this show was pretty fucking good. I'm hoping it's contained to one season because that was about perfect. Super weird which may put people off. But good mixture of genres and pretty solid. Oh yeah, and it also reminds me of that Wait Buy Why AI article I reposted the other day, and have...

    Markets really shot up today. New YTD high. We're almost at 10% up for the year. Granted, after such a shit year last year that's not really meaningful. Wondering if we keep this rally up or go back to our sideways moves. My original prediction at the start of the year was that we'd see a fall...
