    Damnit, rejected again? Why did it reject this time, FOH?

    Finally, got my damn profile in, and order placed. Now we wait to see if it ever fills. Fuuuuuuck.

    The problem is it just sits there spinning until about the 20th click because they're slammed. By the time I get through the end of 20 questions, it apparently forgets everything I input. So I literally cannot trade, and my money is locked up in their platform.

    Well, fuck it, guess I'm not meme investing. It won't save this profile, and won't let me trade without doing so. Awesome platform you faggots.

    At this point I'm pretty sure Robinhood's shitty "investor profile" has cost me a good $300. Not sure why it didn't ask me this shit last night?

    I'm about to fucking quit. Seriously, Robinhood, what the fuck? I can't invest with you until I tell you if I'm risk averse? This is a gay platform. Has nothing to do with anything.

    Guess I'm in the same boat as everyone. My trade got rejected last night. Now I'm trying to buy again, but Robinhood apparently wants all kinds of additional information from me, but their shit is so fucked I can't actually enter it. Awesome. Fucking 20 questions about how long I plan to...

    Yeah, I'm curious how that works. I imagine they will fill orders as they came in? Might get stuck buying it closer to $20 at market open depending on how this goes. But I'm completely oblivious to anything that's not index funds. Despite having a finance degree, it's not my field. Edit...

    I'm fully expecting to lose like $800 of my $1k, but I was thinking it'd be some shit if AMC does something similar to GME, and then we just keep rolling through that list. I can take my $1k off the board and just roll the rest into each new meme stock. The power of 2 million plus people to...

    Fuck it, guess I'm a meme investor now. Put $1k into AMC. Based on the amount of stock it quoted me on (93.54 shares), it seems like it's over $10 now? Was explaining the whole thing to my wife. She's just like "it'd be super cool if you put $10k in and it turned into $50k." I'm like, uh...

    Isn't that going to take way too long? And I'm assuming it has some kind of waiting period before you can go wild?

    Before I do anything stupid, this is where I am: It gives this message, as I currently have $0 in my settlement. I'm okay if they liquidate some of my VTSAX to cover it though, as I assume this goes through immediately when the markets open tomorrow morning?

    Okay, maybe I'll reconsider. Is there a way to buy an individual stock with Vanguard? Otherwise, I'm unlikely to find some other brokerage to do this with. With the amount of time to setup an account and all that, it's just probably not happening.

    Investing General Discussion

    Yeah, thinking about it more, my point about not putting enough into it to matter really prevents me from caring. I think at most I'd do 2k, which once it doubled I'd probably pull it out. $2k upside isn't very exciting when my other investments swing by more than that most days. It's...

    This shit is crazy. I hate to have FOMO, but I was explaining all this to my wife and how I read about Tesla here back in August. But I just don't buy individual stocks, and certainly not in amount high enough to make a difference (I'd likely need to put in a good $20k+ to be worthwhile for my...

    Or, like most of the shit in this show so far, it was just filler for "laughs." Seriously, 90% of this has had no impact on the story or forward progress or explaining anything.

    Mr. Mayor

    For a long time, comedy has been stuck in a rut of "hey, we're Hollywood liberals and we know better than you," and it was shit. I miss the days where comedians lampooned both sides. Doing a political comedy (that's not Veep) seems like a big gamble. At best it seems like half the audience will...

    On this scale, I just don't see what the end state is. The rich suffer in this plan as well. It's one thing when we talk about screwing the poor. But is Bezos going to want to eat a 10-20% tax on his $180 billion every single year? We always joke about how plebes don't understand that the...

    Cool, and how are the economies in South America doing in comparison to the US? And what if the US economy ceases to exist, how do they fare then? The US is unique here. Taxing unrealized gains here means you just crushed all investments, across the board. All that foreign money that comes here...

    Uh, that's so much worse than just taxing capital gains. That's taxing unrealized gains. That craters everything. We're talking you just destroyed the entire economy with that nonsense. These people can't really be that dumb, can they?

    Got a source on this? I saw some old stuff about taxing them higher for earners > $1M, but not much else. That'd be fucking awful if it was across the board. Good luck retirees!

    WandaVision

    So more than half the reviews are shit, and you still have people defending it as if its the viewers fault. It's like Tenet. Christopher Nolan can do no wrong? Or maybe his artistic vision is just shit and blaming everyone else is retarded?

    Well, my goal was to be able to barter. Apparently you need resources before you start (Epheria Sailboat's selling for about 550m right now). I think my problem is actually more that I should be investing in the boat accessories to make it faster, and not the boat itself.

    Black Desert

    There's a quest to get the Bartali sailboat which is okay, and that one is pretty easy. The Epheria Sailboat is the tier 2 one. You need 20 "plans" to make it though, and you can get one a day through a daily. There's a quest that's "recommended" that gives 5, but it's once per family. Well...

    Black Desert

    It's not necessarily that it's grindy, just obnoxious. Like, it's a quest because you can't sail for shit...so they make you sail back and forth to the furthest places in the game. Or like I mentioned, you have to dive deeper than you actually can, even with the two crystals you get and...

    I wish someone had told me not to bother with this Epheria Sailboat questline. What a fucking nightmare. Seriously, whoever designed this thing was an asshole. Let's start with the 45 minute boat ride just to get to the fucking place. And then you've got shit like diving deeper than you can...

    My wife was just telling me that Disney+ just released something on Facebook about this show and the reactions to the show are incredibly negative ("what the fuck is this show?"). I can't see it since I don't have a Facebook account though. Also a lot of people wondering why there are like 10...

    WandaVision

    Just as an example, about 4 or 5 times during the first two episodes my wife looked over at me and said I didn't have to watch it with her, "this doesn't really seem like your kind of show." It's a motherfucking comic show! I kept telling her I was waiting for the hook, or twist, or whatever...

    WandaVision

    Yes, there have certainly been hints. But none of this "it's Wanda's projections because everyone knows she has that power" is explained in the show. That we're two episodes in and nothing has been explained is a failure. It's very easy that someone could come away from watching two episodes...

    Very, very true. Basically everything in the game is centered around the idea of doing something in the thousands. Likely hundreds of thousands. It's the ultimate grind game.

    WandaVision

    So this is a whole bunch of comic book nerd shit that is your interpretation. For people like myself or my wife who basically watched the movies (and we're probably the minority having watched them all), none of that is shown in the first two episodes. That's the complaint. You can't assume...

    WandaVision

    Second episode was too. Pleasantville did this concept almost 20 years ago. Why they needed to drag this shit out is beyond me. Doing 2 episodes of "mocking 50's comedy series" is stupid. What a seriously dumb idea for your series that you probably spent an exorbitant amount of money on.

    Is there any point in enhancing the Grand Prix gear? Seems like since it's only good for about another week, and the upgrade is marginal, that it's a giant waste of time. In fact, outside of getting the season reward for it, it seems pretty pointless.

    Well shit, now you all have me doubting my choice of Lahn. I didn't go experimenting with other classes, I just jumped in. I feel like it's a pretty crazy class though with good AOE clear, good gap closing, and high healing (not sure if other classes heal at all?).

    Speaking of, my wife went to the grocery store here in CA and said everything seemed out of stock. Her family in Kentucky said the same thing about a trip to Sam's. Is there some kind of supply chain disruption right now that no one is talking about?
