It's sad, we've been in the "we don't need anything" demographic for a few years. But I'd totally be stoked for some socks.

True, although my dollars are also worth 20-50% less, so maybe it's a wash?

Strange, because this feels like the worst economy of my lifetime. Definitely worse than the tech crash, and I think because of the inflation and long duration, worse than the Great Recession. Take the stock market out of it and nothing looks like it's going well. Heck, just the fact that...

Did they fix it finally?

Investors don't know what to do with good news anymore? So it just stays flat.

Almost green today. Meanwhile it's down 30% in the last month.

Yep. Back at $23. Down 20% now. Like I said, I'm done with this one after this.

Don't forget PLTR which is down another 2% today. Once I get out of this one, I'm never buying this piece of shit company again.

Just finished 14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible, about a Nepali guy attempting to break the record of the completing all fourteen 8000 meter peaks in 7 years...in 7 months. The guy is pretty nuts, previously being a Gurkha and in the Special Boat Service. It's on Netflix so pretty accessible.

Yeah, looking at those numbers, watermark is nerfed into the ground. Those are horrendous. It was already pretty grindy for anyone who isn't putting in several hours a day. It's now just going to cause people to say fuck it. Because the reality was, the difference between 500 and 600 was barely...

Found the guy whose parents walked around naked.

That's a tough question because it really focuses on what we want as a country. For someone like me who thinks that government spending is the problem, then yes, people making under $500k a year should be able to take advantage of as many tax deductions as possible. Because right now people in...

Yeah, we already knew that was in there months ago. Edit: I should add, the whole thing is just another attack on the middle class. Read someone's comment elsewhere that said (paraphrasing) "No one is becoming super rich with a backdoor Roth (or mega-backdoor Roth). It's just a tool to help...

Isn't failure pretty standard in a roguelite?

It was okay. Bottom of the middle tier is about right. Oddly, Awkwafina bothered me a lot less in this than she did in Raya. She's still terrible, but I think because they really relegated her to a side character, it wasn't nearly as bad.

It has to be. Every time I bring up EV's, I bring up the power grid. They already complain about how our power grid if shit and can't keep up. But let's replace all combustion engines? Good luck!

This happened to me with PLTR. Several times. Thought it was going back up when it hit $23. Bought back in. Nope, it's down almost 7% just today, and 30% in the last month. Think the easy money market shit may be over finally.

Nope, this was a first. Probably a last, too.

Finally got around to watching this and I'm super disappointed that so many people here liked it. This was horrendous. Some of the worst writing I've seen in a while, for sure, but the directing was also terrible. Especially the last episode. Everything was so telegraphed and then they spend 5...

I own like 90% of the survival games on Steam. At this point I don't think there any releases that aren't unfinished copycats. For some reason the genre is just plagued by the same problems.

Wow, what a bigot. If you're not exposing your 6 year old to docking, I'm pretty sure you're committing a crime in 2021.

Just hoping the market outpaces inflation at this point. Otherwise I'm fucked.

It's funny, because I don't particularly love dividendss, but not because of the taxable event. It's more just that they don't seem to perform as well. Like he mentioned, after the dividend is paid out, the stock drops by that amount. The person who wrote that letter seems like the type that...

So I guess you see this as separate from the expected taper drop? Meaning we potentially recover over the next 3-4 months before getting another taper correction. Which then leads into whether it keeps dropping, or the Fed changes their mind?

Hard to show off your new phone when you're also a Karen who is afraid of being around your friends. So what's the point when you're not showing off anymore?

That really nails it. I've seen posts on FoH about how mobile games make infinitely more money than classical gaming ever will. Why dedicate resources to it then? Go after the easier money and tell "gamers" to fuck off.

Almost definitely that people felt it wasn't woke enough. That's the story of the 2020s.

My situation is obviously slightly different compared to you accumulators, but right now we're at about 5-6% cash. Which is the money we'll live off of for 2022. And in 2022 we'll liquidate another 4-5% to cover 2023. 5-6% is higher than we need, but it was because we planned on putting in a...

Finally uninstalled. Don't see myself revisiting this with these developers.

And this is why Ashes will fail, too. They're going down the exact same road, because the guy in charge is one of those people who thinks only the top tier people should be able to participate in the best content. His game will fail because of it.

I always laugh when I see stuff like this. 30-50% dips are among the worst the market has ever seen. That's not a dip, that's a depression.

He brings up a good point. There have been a dozen variants that no one cared about. Meanwhile Pfizer is up 6% and Modern 20% today. What makes this one special?

Yikes, S&P down almost 2% at the open. Russell 2k over 2.5%.

Shit, left off the most relevant part of my first car story. Bought it with money I made selling my EQ character!

Yeah, I enjoyed the game but grinding out seasons seems pretty unfun. My very first car was an '89 240sx. It's god awful in this game, but man did it feel fast when I was driving it. It is kind of funny though that HokiHoshi did a video about learning to drift and that's the car he used. My...

That's a complaint I've seen elsewhere. Shit like portals being broken for 2 (or was it 3?) weeks at launch, but anything that's a benefit to the player? Shut. It. Down. Have they even fixed those 580 weapon quests that had the bugged NPC? I know that one lasted a minimum of 6 weeks.

I'm not sure if it's hubris, or they're just trying not to panic markets? There's no way they cannot see the obvious that we eventually have to pay the price for over a decade of QE and money injection. Maybe it's just a game of hot potato and no one wants to be the one in charge when it blows...

I haven't bought anything from a Steam sale in almost a decade when they decided to have shit sales.

Another great episode. Glad we're getting solid Curb again. That stupid show pitch plotline with the fat Mexican girl just wasn't working, and it brought the rest of the episodes down with it. Unfortunately it's only a matter of time before they get back to it. The last two have been home runs...
