    What a bunch of fucking whiny bitches. Try eating MRE"s every day for 6 months you faggots. Or my deployment where we had Iraqi cooks and it was goat every single day. Had the shits for months.

    The Outer Worlds

    I haven't played in a few days, and likely won't, because of this. I just can't stand having to sort through an inventory of useless shit items. I'll never use a buff item that gives me +1 mind skills for a minute. What the fuck is even the point of that? Worse is that you have a weight limit...

    The Outer Worlds

    So I'm a few hours in and started on normal, and I kind of regret it. Steamroll most encounters. But I don't want to re-do it all on hard.

    Are you smarter than a 4th grader?

    I think this is the crux of it. Let's be honest here, most people are fucking retarded. Getting them to understand why the math works, when they're children, is an exercise in futility. If you're a future engineer and have an aptitude for it, over complicating math so they can "understand the...

    Technically, yes, having 10-20% in bonds allows you to rebalance and smooths out some of the volatility. And it's a small enough amount that it doesn't destroy your returns. That said, the math behind it is heavily biased because we just came out of, what appears to be, a multi-decade bond...

    Are you smarter than a 4th grader?

    Yep. Work with engineers, software developers, and financial people for the bulk of my interactions and almost everyone is just shit at math. Heck, my wife has an applied math degree and she's horrendous at math.

    Man, Europe's financial situation is absolutely screwed. Seems like it's just one recession away from total collapse.

    Investing General Discussion

    Whole post was good. But this really nails it. If you're someone "working to make a living," it's almost always a bad idea to actively trade. The reason is that your regular income should always dwarf the amount you could make trading, as long as you're not being overly risky. You could be...

    Survivor

    That sequence with Noura may have been one of the funniest Survivor moments ever. Boston Rob saying how terrible she'd be if she was the "caller," then her colossally fucktarded story she told her tribe, and then at the challenge her tribe with zero hesitation to "who's sitting out the...

    Wow, week 2 and the only mildly attractive woman is gone. This season is going to be a slog. I'm definitely rooting for Putin though (Tom Laidlaw). I've gotten worn down by these shows, especially Survivor, when players start playing final 3 from the start. It's just bad gameplay to vote out...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    And here I got all the MCU movies for free off Usenet. Except the first Spider-Man, god damnit. For some reason all of those were nuked and never reuploaded. Makes me tempted to go back to Torrents.

    Jesus, what a shitty way to end the season. Michie was completely blindsided and just looked like shit, despite winning. I guess if you want to be called a racist on TV with no context, apply for Big Brother now!

    The Division 2

    The fucked up part, and I've said it before in this thread, is that up to WT4 the system was perfect. And that period before WT5 got introduced I was hooked. Why they decided to do something completely different is beyond me.

    Big Brother

    I agree. They were dumb not to send Holly home. My problem with them is that afterwards, they did just like Christie did. Basically saying, "You're coming after us now, killing the alliance." No, motherfucker. You killed it and he was just reacting. Michie has been completely loyal this game...

    Big Brother

    Ugh. Going into top 5 I said it was the first time where I'd be happy with anyone winning. But now, fuck that. Cliff is a retard, and Nicole is a hyprocrite. The fucked up part is that now Holly and Jackson have been screwed twice in the same way, and each time the offending party tries to...

    Yeah, uninstalled a long ass time ago because they obviously weren't going to fix it. And just like D1, by the time they "fixed" the game, I don't give a shit anymore.

    Good. Fuck them. They built a model around screwing their customers, and held onto a dying model without any attempt at using that "fucked our customers" money to do something marketable. At least the cable companies were smart enough in the late 90's to realize that divesting was a good idea...

    Rocketman (2019)

    I've only made it about halfway through the movie (I'm not interested enough to do this in one go apparently), and it's like, "First time writing a song...instant hit." "First time ever performing...massive venue, sells out multiple nights, instant success." Followed by a montage of him...

    Game is a bit unpolished for sure. I've fallen through the map twice (both during the Beneath the Meridian mission). Also had the game lock up on me twice. Still fun as hell.

    Borderlands 3

    Played for about 5 hours in a 3 person co-op last night. Enjoyed the shit out of it. Only complaint is that it seems harder to tell teammates apart from enemies than BL2. I'm not sure if it's nameplate or what. The beastmaster pet, especially, is awful. When I see people complaining because of...

    Been a really long time since i fired one, but I don't believe it has any kind of safety (and if it does, it's similar to the 50 cal where it's just pressing up on a little knobby thing under the butterfly). Once it's loaded, it's basically "go time." Bump into it and grenades are probably...

    So you can get the XBox Game Pass for 2 months for $2 right now. I've been going through the games list and I'm pretty amazed at how many games I've been meaning to play are on there. In fact, I'd say it'd be $2 that every single person on this board should probably spend. Not sure how you...

    It's been looking more and more like the last 30 years were a bond bubble. I wouldn't expect anywhere near the return on bonds that we've had; probably barely beating inflation. Additionally, @Blazin's advice is decent, but I would be reluctant to align a target date fund with your actual...

    I thought about trying a Beyond Burger, but it's like $10 a fucking pound. So now I'll just never eat one. Because why eat that shit for more than a steak costs? Also went to a restaurant but it was an extra $3.50 I think. Extra for the non-meat option? Wtf?
