So what you're saying is inflation is going to get a LOT worse.

I think the problem with a lot of new ones is it's all CGI gibs which just doesn't look the same as practical effects.

Taylor Sheridan is just a really good writer. Something that should be easy but apparently eludes most screenwriters is having characters with consistent principles who you can somewhat predict how they would act. And then having them evolve throughout the journey the show/movie takes you on...

That's one of the reasons I stopped. I got to about GS 550 and just thought...why am I doing this? There's no noticeable difference in content you can complete as your gear score goes up. The power curve doesn't exist once you hit max level. So if they bump it up to 700, why would I assume it...

There a class overview that's not an hour long YouTube video?

I still like whip just for the heal.

Not a fan of that kind of system either. The one where you need to plan out what you're going to want 6 months in advance, because fucking it up means you're fucked forever unless you spend months fixing it.

I hate their system even without items blowing up. Going from a III to a II when trying to upgrade to IV is shit. It makes you weaker for trying to play the game. That's shit gameplay.

You're really not selling me on this game. The more you explain, the shittier it sounds.

One of the first things I looked at with buying our last two houses was the orientation. 50+ years ago they made sure houses were built facing north/south. At some point retarded builders started building east/west, which is incredibly energy inefficient.

Sounds like maybe Admin is going on Galatur. There are other big streamers too though, like shroud, with a significantly larger follower count. I imagine this won't be like New World where you can avoid it completely.

So... Regulus? I'm assuming everyone is deferring to someone like @Raes who will probably put in way more time than anyone else with this.

Had what I thought was going to be an amazing run, but it really didn't want to give me Ebony birds until the very very end (had a level 1 one early, but couldn't max it til about min 28). 5 evolves, and I had hoped the last would be a fire wand (for 6), but then I saw Lancet so I figured I'd...

Reversion to the mean (edit: Shit, @Sanrith Descartes beat me to that in a reply). It's been said many, many times, but pretty much no fund manager can beat the market return long term. Sure, you get some that can beat it one year. There are a couple rockstars who beat it for maybe 3 or 4 years...

Apparently a SpaceX rocket launched back in 2015 is expected to hit the moon. I'm amazed at how improbable that is. Unfortunately it'll be on the far side so we won't see the crater.

Well shit, we're almost to 4450 at the open.

I lied, played a bit more yesterday. I wish the 30 minute thing wasn't such a bullshit mechanic. Apparently there are two weapons you can get that can help you make it past that point, but you don't always have them as an option, which is also bullshit. Anyway, I had a super good one last...

I watched tons of movies from before I was born. It's most of what I watched growing up.

Left to go hang some garage storage before the Fed meeting. Come back and everyone is talking about how everything is fine and the Fed said nothing of importance. Meanwhile the market took a massive shit and I can't figure out what happened?

Played about 30 minutes and almost refunded it (yeah, even for $3). Then I played a bit more and it was fun...except I "beat" it (lasted 30 minutes) after a bit over 2 hours total playtime. Can't really convince myself it play anymore. In fact, if you can make it to 20 minutes, you're...

Feel like someone posted that a year or two ago. Could've been somewhere not FoH though.

I think CGI heavy actually works in favor of quicker post production. It was brought up during Black Widow that essentially all the CGI had been done beforehand, which is why you can just plug in same rando director who's never done anything, because the movie is basically already made and you...

Jesus, so you're trading your entire net worth? Not just that, but your family's too?

Are they doing it with their entire portfolio though, or just play money? From what everyone has said, they're mostly invested for the long haul in index funds, and this is all just for fun with maybe 5-10% at the most in trading.

And those people probably won't buy back in until we reach a new ATH. If I hadn't seen it happen so many times, I'd be shocked by it.

For as much bear talk as I do, keep in mind my wife and I are all in on total market funds and despite it all, we still hold for the long term. I'd love it if this is the biggest pullback we see, because at some point this year we need to pull out some money for 2023's living expenses. But I...

Well that's definitely a good sign. I wonder what the delta between that and the ones that closed is.

I think we need to reflect on where our economy actually is though. Nothing is good right now. I don't have numbers, but how many businesses closed in 2020? We never really felt the pain of that. The rest of the market has been dipping, but it's been obfuscated by a handful of companies (mostly...

"Experts" That's a meaningless word in 2022.

It's a long march down. We'll probably get a few green days, but I doubt this is over. I still think we see a 25-35% fall from the top (S&P in the low 3000's) before we start recovering. If the Fed decides to bail again, we may see a smaller decline but eventually this shit needs to course...

We're finally in correction territory. 8% more and we're officially in a bear.

That's always funny to me. What other item do people purchase that when the price falls, they say "woah, maybe I should stop buying this." Much better to buy when it's at the highest price it's ever been! Now, retirees asset balancing out of stocks, sure, because you're not contributing...

This is definitely one of the steepest drops in the market over such a short time span. Probably not a good sign that we pull out of it.

Where? Because unless you're talking a specific index, this isn't true.

I'm amazed that everyone has the market being positive for the year. We just had a 27%, 18%, and 29% span of years. Unless everyone collectively believes the new CAGR of the market is like 15-20%, we're due for a negative year.

...right as the Fed floats the idea of their own cryptocurrency. Not that this hasn't been expected (and talked about in this thread) for several years.

She's topless in one of the American Pie movies. I can't tell if they're real or not. If they are, they're pretty amazing.

You're not planning on watching Jay's pervert movie about a carfucker?

I feel bad, when I talked to my mom around Thanksgiving she mentioned she had some money in ARKK. I wanted to tell her to dump it, but I didn't really want to go telling her that I think Cathie is a fraud. I don't think it was a significant amount, because she still mentioned retiring soon the...

Rate locks are only good for generally 30-60 days. I think ours was 45. We ended up closing 1 or 2 days after and they charged us to keep the rate, which I was pretty pissed about.
