This show has become more and more unhinged with each episode. It kind of seems like each scene is almost a sketch comedy bit that's very, very loosely held together by this main plot. Like the porn store was almost irrelevant to the story, but was really there to just provide some laughs. The...

That's a shame. Wife and I started it the other day and it seems like it had the potential to be decent.

So economy is actually on the upturn but sentiment is finally catching up way too late?

Sounds like we've just been subsidizing the other plans for the last 4 years then. Switching from gold to silver will cut our premium in half, our out of pocket by 2/3, and shit like copays and prescriptions to almost nothing. Oh well.

This post made me laugh a bit to myself. I've mentioned before I had the bullshit jobs conversation with my coworkers probably 7 or 8 years ago now. Since it was F/A-18, which meant lots of engineers and mathematicians and shit as a make work program, my solution was that we could retool the...

We actually just met with some guy to talk about different plans (he was an idiot and didn't provide any help), but the summary is our premiums didn't really change whatsoever. The only thing we're considering is changing from a gold plan because we can't quite figure out what it's providing us...

I'm not sure I buy these numbers, otherwise the current model of massive hospitals buying up the regionals and building massive upscale compounds wouldn't exist.

I mean, if we're being honest, even in games like Arc Raiders it puts people off the game. I'd say the only place it's actually ever been successful is battle royales, the CoD/BF franchises, and for some reason Eve. Outside of that, pvp is just toxic every time.

An Act? Sounds like something Congress would have to pass, which means this is likely just more hot air. I don't necessarily blame Trump for it, but it doesn't fix anything.

C'mon now, she's a boss bitch. She's way smarter than her husband who became a billionaire from nothing. She learned it all through osmosis and then became better because she's a woman. And she's much more cutthroat and ruthless than he could ever hope to be.

Yeah, the acting and sets were phenomenal in this. They did insert a good bit of woke shit, like the black doctor being super smart and knew better than the white doctor, but couldn't say anything because racism. I'm curious how much of the political stuff is reality, because I couldn't tell...

And now he's struck paydirt on his very first well, which was already operating, and is now making $10 million a year. Seems legit.

Feel like they're missing the mark a bit. BBT going off on a tangent about breakfast food companies instead of how everything is made of oil? Really? Seemed too forced to me.

Feels like we're on our way to a bloodbath to end the year. Usually I'd say the fact that everyone is pessimistic about the market and feel like we're heading for a cliff would mean we've still got time and the market actually isn't inflated as much as it feels, but in this case the market has...

Pretty sure someone called this in this thread or in the General forums yesterday.

On the one hand, as an asset owner, I absolutely agree. On the other, I'm not super excited about an economy where everyone is fucking dying out there because of how bad it is, and I'm sitting on my throne like some rich asshole. I don't think that system is sustainable.

Because literally everyone is sitting there like @Haus thinking this is a giant AI bubble. But everyone also wants to ride it. Just not first.

It's pretty wild that it feels like the entire market will move on what Nvidia says.

That's weird, I was watching that and thinking that in the not too distant future we'd probably see delivery robots. But it's going to rely on autonomous driving. And then I read your post and I'm like, holy crap, if they did night delivery and didn't really mess with daytime traffic, that'd be...

Guess the magic of guessing, week to week, about a show like LOST almost 20 years ago are dead. Someone will figure the shit out in a couple of weeks. Oh well.

I was so tempted to take out a 10-15% bond position in our retirement accounts the end of last week, but I chickened out. Oh well. Speaking of tops though, I absolutely nailed our last living expenses sale at the all time high (whatever day that was, Oct 28?).

Why would anyone be upset? I don't think anyone is hoping the game fails. I think most of us just see the areas where they're fucking it up and hoping they fix it. That ends up being perceived as attacking the game because apparently some people think whatever the vision they have for this is...

I rewatched the first episode with the wife to see if she liked it. The part where the USDA head is talking to her is the most infuriating thing I may have ever seen. Instead of asking for answers, she literally just starts yelling at them. "Are there are questions for us, Carol? Anything at...

Am I missing something? It sounds like the compensation is almost identical based on what you said, except in the W-2 job it's in stock incentives...which, seems significantly less appealing than actual cash. Is it just that it sounds like a fun adventure?

Feel like many said similar years and years ago. The giant map thing I've just never understood. Giant maps just mean lots of empty wasted space.

Man, saw this thread get bumped and I was like...holy shit, how is this show still on? Then I saw it's only on season 5? I watched season one and it was good, but I remember quitting very early on season 2 (think my wife finished it). But that was a decade ago. 5 seasons in a decade? What the shit?

At this point I don't even know where del Toro gets this mythical director status from. Feels like it's just nerds who liked Hell Boy, or because Pan's Labyrinth was good looking. But I look at his works and not only am I unimpressed, I'm confused.

It's funny, RLM posted a video today about how October's box office was the worst in 30 years. One of the movies they talked about at the end was a horror Kickstarter by some YouTube guy, and they highlighted a comment someone made about how "we shouldn't criticize it because then people won't...

I think Burry knows that being correct is the smallest portion of it, and the timing is what's really important. So yeah, I'd agree that those are absolutely concerns. I'm not sure they pan out within 2 years. Likely why his bet isn't actually that big.

So it seems like what really happened is Burry made a small stake bet on the AI bubble crashing within the next two years. If it doesn't, he's not even losing very much. The difference in my opinion between this and 2008 is that investors are betting that AI makes the industrial revolution look...

Now that I'm a day and a half removed from it, yeah, I think I was just unprepared for the whole thing. I definitely got way too high, but I don't think I was in the right mental headspace for it which led to some anxiety. I'm pretty annoyed that people can take half a gummy and get that high...

It's not TV, it's HBO? That whole sequence at the bar and then that dude's house was fucking wild. I don't even know what else to say about it.

Shit, I already forgot about that show. Yeah, it was great.

It'll be interesting if they pull it off. Reminds me a bit of For All Mankind in the first season or two. Shit, you could probably replace hive mind for AI and have an even more relevant show in current year. At this very moment I have no idea where this story will go though, which is kind of...

I like that instead of discussing how awful a 60 second TTK would be, we're instead talking about lguk mobs. The combat in MnM isn't engaging in any ways. Even the people who like the game admit that. You can alt tab out of the game unless you're the healer. The idea that you just want to bash...

Like I said, at this point I'm pretty sure I've never actually been high until this week. Whatever effects I had in high school weren't it. Nor all the gummies and shit I tried in the last month. If what I had today is just "high" and includes hallucinations, travelling to different planes of...

That's the weird part. My tripping was just with a single bong hit. Two days ago combining them was a much more pleasant experience. I did try a different strain, but still indica.

So apparently I've never actually been high before. The other day I took a bong hit, felt okay, and took an edible a bit later. I think maybe my THC receptors just weren't working, but it finally activated them. It all sort of clicked and made it easier to understand why people get high. I...

Oh, I'm smoking outside. I just mean my containers make the whole house smell. I figured putting them in a ziploc bag would help but it does nothing.
