Why aren't the episodes that funny? I like that they even threw a C.H.U.D. reference in.

So yeah, just reiterating everything else, this was just okay. It was really more "Bourne" than Marvel up until the end. In fact, I'd almost say it was a pretty good spy movie up until she had to face off against the big bad at the end. Everything in that last sequence just kind of ruined it for...

Seems weird how little hype there is for this with just over a month til release. I'm really jonesing for something to play, but with how little anyone talks about this it makes me think it's going to be really trash.

Hope they're busting their asses trying to find a place. The rental market is just as cutthroat as the real estate market. It literally became an all day job for me to find us a place. I'd get up early and hit refresh on every property management company's website every 15-20 minutes. And even...

I have no idea. All I know is he begged them to be a part of it and he's in it. Tom Cruise, Jennifer Connelly, Val Kilmer, and then all those young fuckers were for sure on site for the filming they did where I was.

Holy shit, this new agent is amazing. We've worked with 4 agents ever (buy, sell, and then our crap agent before this one), and she's by far the best. We went to see two houses today, one of which is one we asked our previous agent to see (she said the other agent was mean, and never got us...

Anyone still banking with Wells Fargo deserves what they get. Complete scum fuck company.

College gets a lot of shit, mostly because it's become a "everyone needs to go" option without consideration for differing interests and abilities. But if you're of above average intelligence, your kids likely will be too, and as long as they don't get a useless degree it's still probably worth...

Looking forward to it. I remember years back when Top Gun 2 was announced and how much he wanted to be a part of it, occurring right after his throat cancer diagnosis/treatment. I was glad he was able to act again, and I wish I would've seen him on set (note that I never got to see anyone on...

That's definitely true. But I feel like people here would be talking about it, so it seems unusual that this one is so volatile. It's likely it's just my perception since I'm new to buying single stocks.

I'd say most government contracts are IDIQ. And it's not unlimited, it's capped at $3.8B. It's also not guaranteed, it could be they make the minimum order (which could be as low as 1 unit) and never order again.

I swear I read that the institutional investors weren't actually buying more real estate than previously and whatever article it was that brought it up first was basically fear-mongering. No idea where to find it again though.

PLTR back in the toilet. Again. Dropped below $23. Can't say I've seen a regular stock that has so much volatility so frequently. 16% drop in about a week, after just about that much gained in the previous week.

So normally I'd say the market will be super red today. But I guess we'll jump 2% because it's opposite world. Also, fucking L-O-L at 65% dividend tax.

I think I've decided I don't really find this show funny anymore. But at the end of an episode, I still enjoyed it. It's essentially become an absurd sci-fi show, but without much comedic aspect. Almost like a continual Love, Death and Robots. I'm just along for some shorts about some weird...

Guy I used to work with had his wife do it because they didn't want to give away 6%, and because they figured it couldn't be super hard. Guy is an engineer and I'm assuming his wife is on par intellectually. It apparently was easy enough, and she ended up quitting her job and doing it part time...

And then think about how Disney thinks this is who they want for their movie, but yet Gina Carano is problematic.

The part that's different for me is that I've been in the contracts business for a decade. Granted, it's a different type of contract (federal contracts), but I feel like I could probably manage that and negotiation on my own no problem. I need someone who knows the area, knows other agents and...

So yeah, we felt locked in until we figured out what happened with this house (putting in an offer means we're kind of stuck with her). We went to see it this morning and really, really liked it. Met her there at 9:30, and despite asking her to be prepared for us to make an offer, she had...

Wait, what? I feel like I've seen him on there recently. Maybe I was just watching old ones...hmm.

Who knows? Mostly depends on inflation. One of the reasons I'd say yes is because if interest rates rise, and they likely will sooner than the Fed wants, you can afford less house. So as a buyer, it might be good to lock that in.

Not entirely related, but we bought our house in CA in 2015. About a year afterwards we had considered buying a condo in either Orange Beach, AL or Perdido Key, FL. They were going for under $150k at the time and I just couldn't justify it (we had only recently discovered the early retirement...

So I'm not super happy with our current buyer's agent. We probably fucked up by being a walk in instead of specifically requesting an agent, but she's really new at this and it's a side gig for her so I just don't think she's particularly suited to it yet (or will ever be). We've had to do most...

There was a week around 115 where I lived in the desert this year. That's not normal for June. Glad we missed it, Florida has been nice. My guess is all this weird weather is China fuckery with cloud seeding. Or maybe Bill Gates, wasn't he talking about blocking out the sun?

PLTR back to the toilet I guess.

It was my criticism in one of the threads we discussed UBI here. It's a solution to a problem we don't have yet. "What about automation?" How about we get to a point where that matters before disincentivizing everyone from working?

I live in a touristy area now and pretty much everywhere you go has a sign up apologizing for slow service because they're short on workers. In fact, nearly all the workers are teenagers. I figure because they actually need the income and don't qualify for unemployment. All the adults have...

We're a year and a half into massive layoffs though. With most of the red states finally ending extra UI. Are new jobless claims actually meaningful right now?

Eyyy!

Not that it really matters, but I wanted to see June close out above 4300. Doesn't look like it wants to. Oh well.

Just seems odd to pick four years when the entire thing has been around for just over a decade.

S&P bounced hard as fuck off $4300. I was thinking yesterday that August - October is usually kind of rough, and this year seems like a good one for a major correction to happen. My guess is September, but if they start pulling covid variant omega out, we might see it in October instead.

Right, the dark pool is so it doesn't appear as a high volume trade. That's why I asked questions like "is this normal?" I'm just not entirely sure what I'm supposed to take away from those trades. Market going up? Market going down? Neither?

Except from reading about the dark pools, it's essentially someone trying to buy/sell a massive amount, but because that impacts the market negatively, it's something that then goes to the public in smaller chunks. The examples are all like someone offloading 1 million shares. You can't do that...

Literally have no idea what any of that means. Bunch of large blocks of stock, but doesn't say whether it's being bought or sold. Or whether it's normal volume. If you're going to post that kind of shit, at least explain to use why you posted it.

Do VA loans usually go bad? I used one and nothing seemed bad about it.

So we're almost there. Smart people, what's going to happen from here on out? Is there resistance for this going above $30 again? Should I sell when I break even and rebuy when this inevitably drops back to $20?

Chuk is super old.

Tell that to Clint Eastwood.

2 months before release isn't really the time to be figuring out what kind of game you want to be. Nor 3+ months after release.
