I feel like I missed a training montage or something, because like 2 weeks before that scene, Maximus was a pathetic squire who all the other squires beat the shit out of, but now he's overpowering men almost twice his size and armed.

I've been putting off buying Elden Ring for years. It's on sale a decent amount right now and I'm tempted to buy it, but I feel like I'm going to end up like you and it's just...not for me.

You expect blatant propaganda to have good writing?

I feel like this describes just about every "mystery" show lately. Cool concept for a first season and it's clear they had no fucking clue what to do with it after that. Yellowjackets, From, Stranger Things, Severance, Westworld, Leftovers, even a comedy like The Good Place. It makes you...

I've made this post several times over the last two decades, but if shit really hits the fan where you'd need gold, you would've been better off with bullets. And if you need bullets, the reality is you probably should've made a plan for either family or neighbors, on large scale (dozens or...

Some of my wife's family work at the gaseous diffusion plant in Paducah. They were getting ready to decommission it sometime in the last decade, and then it was like, just kidding, we should spin it back up again. This country doesn't really take nuclear seriously.

The difference is Walter White and Saul Goodman are rational characters who descend into dark places due to circumstance, whereas Carol Sturka acts completely irrational and narcissistic in basically every scenario. Anyway, for 9 episodes of this show, I feel like not a whole lot happened. You...

His point is that Congress (or the IRS?) would have to adjust the capital gains brackets incredibly frequently to adjust for hyperinflation. Otherwise you're paying current rates in pulling out millions in equities to pay for your bread. And I don't know about you, but I don't see a situation...

Maybe they're counting on no one caring about Marvel anymore? What's the last one that wasn't a gigantic flop? Can't count Deadpool either since that wasn't really the same.

I'm sitting here wondering if that Red One movie with The Rock wasn't inspired by someone watching the beginning of Scrooged with that Lee Majors movie where Santa and Mrs Santa and the elves all break out guns to fight off whatever it was.

I'm traveling, but there was a portfolio I saw a long time ago that's probably right up your alley. I want to say it was called golden butterfly, but I don't have my bookmarks to confirm.

This is recency bias. Look at a historical chart of gold prices and tell me how you would've felt investing into gold in the 80s without its price moving for two decades.

I remembered hating Skyler, but holy shit was she a repugnant character. Vince sure does know how to make unappealing female characters. I think that's why Pluribus is floundering, because Carol fucking sucks. Then again, if Carol had been a male character, you'd cut out 90% of the retarded...

It's a bet on the US economy. If you assume the US economy keeps chugging on, you invest in the public companies that encompass it. Not only that, but it refreshes itself dumping the losers and adding the new winners. Do I think the US economy is impervious? Obviously not, see my posts in the...

I was bored to death this episode. Carol just isn't interesting. It's so odd because we started rewatching Breaking Bad and a lot of the cinematic elements are identical, but it's just so much better to watch. I also feel like that restaurant scene was really jarring with all the cars driving...

What's the 1996 door? A massive run up for 4 years?

Average looks to be around 7500 just eyeballing it, which is like 8% up for the year...which is below the average market year of 10%. Looks less bullish in that context to me.

It's weird because I feel like I just posted similar about someone else a few weeks ago (can't remember who), but Cameron seems to get a lot of credit for a really limited run of success like he's some amazing director. But it's basically two Terminator movies, Abyss, and Aliens which was a...

Brown Bunny? Her career took off afterwards. That thing came out in 2003. She got Big Love in 2006. Hell, she was also in Kids. Look at her acting credits and I don't think it had any impact whatsoever.

Good thing I live in the US and basically everything I buy is denominated in USD then.

Nah. It dates all the way back to before the first great depression in the 1880s. Fuck off with your "equities only did well for the last 50 years." http://www.moneychimp.com/features/market_cagr.htm

Complex isn't better. There are a myriad of articles you can point her to that show she should just index and forget it. Most people assume that it shouldn't be as easy as just investing in the entire market and moving on, that there's gotta be some secret investing sauce that makes you a...

She's got those retard eyes too far apart thing that seems to be the new trend in Hollywood. Is it fetal alcohol syndrome? Seems fitting.

Honestly, Sprong is the one who opens up the rest of the game. Which kind of makes it a giant pain in the ass. I'd keep grinding it out til you kill him, and from there everything will seem easier.

It's the end result for any game that tries to force PVP on the playerbase. Especially one that was PVE focused up until endgame. That's why you're seeing it for a "new" game. PVP players never want an even footing. Ever. They want to shit on people they have an advantage over (grief). Game...

Sounds like you're going to get an even crappier version of PoE.

Maybe the economy is non-existent because there's nothing in game to facilitate it? People aren't going to sit in one spot in a zone spamming an auction channel for hours.

Because it's almost 2026 and there's no reason the game shouldn't include one. Players aren't going to put up with retarded shit just because it's in some bizarre vision of the devs. Even people who will dick suck any idea these devs come up with. It's like the not including maps thing, or...

Better go pay to see the movie 8 more times!

I mean, that's my prediction. I didn't trade anything based on it. I'm a buy and hold investor.

Dang, I whiffed on this one at 5500. I really expected the downturn to hit midway through the year and that we'd start hitting the lows about now. Guess I couldn't have really foreseen the AI thing lifting the entire market.

So my drum teacher somehow got linked up with the drummer from Tedeschi Trucks Band (or possibly Duane Trucks, I can't remember what he said), who wants to have my drum teacher's band come up to Atlanta to record an album in his studio (my drum teacher is in his early 70's). Anyway, he mentioned...

I keep clicking this thread forgetting that the new season has started, and I haven't watched it. Luckily you're all mostly focused on video game shit that I don't remotely remember, so I guess it doesn't matter.

This is the effect of getting old. 15 years ago when Spartacus first aired, Lucy Lawless probably was the "much older lady" to most of us. Now, the character is probably in your prime dating range, but her character hasn't aged. So you still think of her as the older lady in your mind even...

They have these boats now with motors. And he could just follow the shore.

Same, and if that's not the case, well the people making this show really fucked that whole thing up because it seems like everyone was under the same assumption. So whatever they were trying to show they absolutely failed at.

I thought it was a new Archeage? Because Steven wanted to whale and still got his shit kicked in, so wanted to make his own where he could do the shitting on?

This episode wasn't bad, but every single time that fucking son or that Mexican chick had a scene the whole thing dragged down massively. He's just a giant fuckup and I hate everything about that storyline.

Which means obviously Manousos is Jesus and Carol is Judas. The part I don't understand is why he chose the Darien Gap over sailing. Without governments that seems way faster and safer. Also, alternative hypothesis is Gilligan watched The Leftovers and was super disappointed in the execution...

Could've fooled me, because no one fucking uses Truth except for the fucking President.
