    Isn't that what the Fed wants though? A slow down in the economy, meaning less jobs?

    The Astronomy Thread

    It's funny, because people would much rather watch rocket landings now as opposed to the takeoffs.

    I hate ZipTrader on YouTube (he's a sensationalist for clicks, like they all are), but he has some charts of where the institutional buy targets are, and it was at 3955. Don't know where the data comes from though.

    Call of Duty Modern Warfare II 2022

    So it sounds like it's pretty decent? Only CoD I played was in 2019 (buying it after getting into Warzone). The rest of my friend group have all bought it, but I'm still reluctant due to the price point being bullshit.

    Call of Duty Modern Warfare II 2022

    As much as I want to play this, I'm not particularly excited to pay $70 for a fucking game. Will probably just wait for Warzone.

    Yep, I think the real question is, is this a full on bull trap and we fall a ton, or will it just be a consolidation as we march back up. I think it's unlikely we end next week above today's close.

    Call of Duty Modern Warfare II 2022

    Not related at all to CoD, but one of the first nights after we moved here, my wife woke me up at like midnight saying it sounded like someone was banging on our door. It took me a while, and two trips outside, to figure out what was going on. Apparently we're close enough to the ranges here...

    Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities

    Hollywood types just can't help themselves. I think a lot of us just ignored it because we all leaned liberal. Now that all that heavy handed animosity is directed our way, it's much more noticable.

    If we can crack 4k on the S&P before the midterms, I may liquidate 1/4 to 1/3 of next year's expenses finally. Pretty big risk, because it may shoot up after, but I'm also worried I'll have to lock in a much larger loss if it doesn't recover more.

    So this thing is over now? What's the verdict, should I watch it? Have em all downloaded on the off chance it wasn't complete garbage.

    It's funny people acknowledge that technology can drive GDP, but still cling to population growth as being required.

    Bullet Train (2022)

    Probably one of those cases you have to turn your brain off for. He had a picture of the actual Hornet, which we know cause Pitt's character opens it. But, Pitt's character is also the one who ran into The Wolf at his wedding, causing him to spill his wine and ruin his jacket, and then the whole...

    Wow, this was some good shit. Really enjoyed it. Think my favorite part was the Hornet scene where he starts it off with "I should stop, I'm mansplaining." The Carver cameo was great too, as was Channing Tatum's. The Guy Ritchie comparison really nailed it to me. Felt like I was watching...

    Except they wouldn't know that when the show was in production. Heck, the CGI wouldn't even be a thing at that point, so they wouldn't have known it looked cheap.

    70% not paying attention is why we have shit like statewide lockdowns, mask and vaccine mandates, and an administration pushing us to the brink of nuclear war.

    The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM (2022)

    I'd say this is why the "right" is such a shit show. We're always skeptical and won't support people even if they're saying the right thing. Whereas the left will support the scummiest of fucks like their life depends on it.

    Nah, I'm good. I told my wife that even if we have to draw 2023s living expenses when the market is down, it'd only be like drawing an extra $10-15k or so. That hurts, but it's not the end of the world. If we don't see a positive year in 2023, I'll start getting antsy. If 2024 is also a down...

    It's sad that this is even considered a rally, when we're still down 5% just this month. This year has been such a shit show.

    Couldn't finish the first episode. Read some reviews saying the true story is more unsettling (although it seems like the show added in all kinds of terrible horror tropes). https://www.thecut.com/article/the-haunting-of-657-boulevard-in-westfield-new-jersey.html

    And the public rejected that model as soon as it was an option. That's what led to streaming services booming in the first place. Going back to that shitty model isn't the answer.

    Yep. It was just covid recovery and supply chain issues. Then the inflation was transitory for a year. Meanwhile we all knew that was bullshit. We all saw how much money we printed and how large QE had gotten.

    I saw Jeff Garlin at the American Comedy Co. in San Diego about a decade ago. It's where my coworker got up on stage with him as a dare (he was super drunk, as was the guy who dared him). Jeff absolutely roasted the shit out of him. It was one of the best things I'd seen with someone dealing...

    I was really hoping for an upswing prior to the midterms, because I think November and December are going to be a fucking bloodbath. And I need to liquidate next year's expenses at some point before the end of the year. Doing it now would fucking suck. My wife has been talking a lot about going...
