Finally smoked some. Went with a bong since that's what my friends growing up had. Still trying to figure it out though since it's been something like 23 years. My first go at it I think I packed too big of a bowl (red biscotti), and took one huge bong rip and coughed my fucking head off...

I'm not sure about that. There's a comfort, at least for me, that if there were a world ending event that killed everyone that I wouldn't care because we're all dead. That part of death where you're concerned about your loved ones and everyone else moving on without you suddenly isn't a...

Is it just me, or did they make all the brown people essentially no apple retards who can't actually understand the gravity of the situation (they don't seem to understand free will)?

Well, this wasn't really on my radar, but I guess I'm in to watch it. It better not suck.

7 year gain in 5 years is a giant oof. Talk about purchasing power going into the toilet.

I hate to say it, especially because I feel like most people invest too conservatively, but if it's stressing you out that much it may be a sign that you're invested too aggressively. Have you considered taking up a position in a non-equity asset?

People keep talking about the game "the devs want to make" while ignoring that the game is being marketed to people that aren't the devs. If the devs just wanted to make a game for a dozen devs to play, we wouldn't have this thread. It seems like an irrelevant talking point. The game the devs...

Him explaining the whole thing to his daughter floored me.

I feel like this has come up so many times over the last decade. If it's not detached from the US economy, what's the point? I still contend that the only people still touting Bitcoin are doing it because they see it as an investment, and convincing more people about how amazing it is means...

If you have raids, they will have the best loot. If they didn't no one would bother with the raids at all. It's just a fact. It's why everyone ends up funneling into the same few areas in these types of games, and why making a massive world is meaningless. Your players will go to where the best...

I feel like the vendor thing is one of those things that makes sense in a realism sense, and is a neat "feature" when you first start. But eventually it becomes tiresome. People will say it's not a big deal to run to a dozen different vendors to sell shit, but after a while it's just tedium. You...

It's going to be a shit show. In alpha there are already (and have been for like 2 months) people camping out for the level 20ish world boss. In alpha. For a level 20 boss.

I'm not sure I've ever seen people go from "this game is going to be awesome" to just complete frustration and contempt as fast as I have with this one.

So I knew about Space Cop, but for some reason I got a recommended thing for a clip from Gorilla Interrupted, and it's blown my mind. So I started searching for stuff from it.

Wasn't he predicting a massive crash years and years ago? Feel like he's one of those "predict a crash every year and celebrate when it finally hits" guys now. Yeah, he made a good call in 2008, but that shit was obvious. I remember calling it out on the Fatwallet forums sometime around 2006.

I overthink things. Probably why I kind of like it so much, and why it works so well for PTSD. Allows me to finally turn the brain volume down a bit. With how expensive this shit is, I don't want to waste my money though. So I research. I don't want to even get started on the anxiety I have...

So these gummies are such a crapshoot, think I'm going to end up buying some buds at some point in the next week or two (likely after my actual card comes in). I didn't realize you needed to "prepare" it before smoking though. Would I be okay just finding any smoke shop and buying a grinder, or...

On the flip side, Netflix started this whole streaming thing and did it because they had tons of catalogues they could offer. You can say it's not good because Netflix is super woke, but are they really anymore moreso than the rest of Hollywood?

I mean, you see my point I hope? That show was on 25 years ago. You're hoping to see the tits of someone who was in their 20s who's now in their 50s. Hell, even Lucy Lawless was in her early 40s for Spartacus. I guess if you're really into old chicks though, you do you.

That's my problem with these games. It's similar to the deep desert in the Dune game. Actually, it's almost an identical problem. You're better off going in with nothing. But if that's the case, what's the gameplay loop? Go in with nothing so you can build shit that then sits in your storage...

Had to look up who this was. She's 53 and...not exactly a looker. What the fuck am I missing here?

This is what I worry about. The map seemed very small in that play test. And if I'm just running that over and over? Hopefully there's more they didn't show.

Gummies are becoming really frustrating for me. The Tums thing worked the one time, and then not really since. Doesn't seem to matter what I eat or don't eat beforehand, it seems like a crapshoot. But on top of all that, I'm up to 15mg and still it seems like a "maybe" if it does anything. I do...

I thought the same a couple weeks ago with my TSP transfer when the market was about 6600. The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent. Maybe we get a 20% correction but not until we go up another 30%. Stranger things have happened.

All that friction we keep talking about. The core gameplay I found very fun, but all the roadblocks to get to it made me nope out. I feel bad because I got an alpha key and even with unlimited playtime, I just never play it. It's not worth my time. And so yeah, when they decide to add a...

Still experimenting, and I found some stuff about how it may not be the missing enzyme, but rather just super fast metabolism (which I have). Apparently taking an antacid first can help slow down your stomach acid from breaking down the gummy (sublingual hasn't seemed to help). Sure enough...

This is why the FIRE community really emphasizes the FI part more than the RE part. Yeah, retirement sounds like the goal, but financial independence means you're no longer beholden to a job. That's the important part. If you love your job, it means you have more flexibility to negotiate for...

I mean, we're still two months away. At what point is the cutoff from "too close to Christmas?" Are companies and not allowed to do layoffs through July? Plus, it's Amazon, so most of those people probably don't even celebrate Christmas or have families for that matter.

There's an alpha (formerly friends and family) server that runs all the time, except when there's an open test ongoing.

Jesus, I'm so high and had to read this like twenty times.

It's definitely a massive leap. And there are phases of it, especially starting out. It'll feel weird knowing everyone else is going to work and you're going to wonder what to do with yourself. Eventually you start adjusting after a year or so. I'm 4 years in (this week) and I can't even...

If I were Cad levels of rich I wouldn't pay attention. But I'm not quite at the level where the market movement doesn't matter at all. Maybe if the wife and I get an inheritance my opinion will change.

This market is so retarded. All I see is people attributing today's new high to Trump maybe making a deal with China. Except it only fell by about a percent when they were going at it (last weekend?) and recovered almost immediately. So now a new high because... we're returning to the status...

Fucking casual. You're meant to sit there spamming trade channels for 14 hours a day. That's how people in EQ did, and that's the most perfect video game of all time.

I really wanted to avoid smoking, but I think I'll likely end up having to. Yesterday was actually a good example of when I would've preferred it. Had back pain in the morning, but something in the early evening where I needed to drive. So I just took the day off (since I have no idea how long...

Surely the tolerance takes months to build up though, and not 4 days?

I'm still experimenting, but it's looking like I might be one of those abnormally high enzyme people. First 5mg dose from my drum teacher gave me some back pain relief. Second 5mg didn't do anything whatsoever. Got my card after that. So far I've done 4 5mg doses (both were a 5mg, waiting...

Yeah, I didn't think it was terrible. Luckily it wasn't too long, although I do feel like they could've cut another 20 minutes. But that said, the ending wasn't good. The Major seemed like a fucking cartoon character. I didn't realize it was Hamill, but he blew ass in that role. What the fuck...

I mean, yes it's absolutely concerning, but we can't really do anything about it. If the debt bomb really comes, having some gold won't do shit for you anyway. At that point we're looking at global economic meltdown and you can't eat your gold. Good luck trading for anything with your fucking...
