That shouldn't have been a surprise from February though?

It's because if you're at the point where gold is currency again, well, everything has collapsed enough that rule of law is now gone and anyone with more guns than you can physically take your gold by force. So at that point, what's the point of holding gold and not guns?

Proceeds to post weeb shit. Jerking off to cartoon women with big tits is niche, sorry to break it to you.

So hard to tell anymore. Could say it's bad economic news, so market goes down. Alternatively, bad economy means Fed more likely to reduce rates, so market goes up.

I just remember trying to fit in implants and it was a giant puzzle of swapping shit and getting buffs, but if you figured it out, you'd become a god. It also had the one class, fixer I think, which made Spirit of Wolf look like a joke as you just zoomed around the map. Plus that matrix-style...

I guess not. I went and looked at the JRPG category in Steam, and the only ones that I've played were Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, and those were a good 25 years ago. That kind of weeb shit just doesn't appeal to me, and I would 100% call it niche.

That's a strange take, because Funcom games are fucking fun as shit. The problem with them is always the jank they start with, that sometimes takes years to fix. But Anarchy Online? Secret World? Conan? They were all fantastic games and etched into my mind as some of the best I've ever played...

Yeah, I've been trying to figure it out too. I don't know if maybe this is a story game or something? I've never really been into those though. I can't really figure out what the appeal is. I don't think it looks bad though. There's been tons of games where it's seemed obvious to me, like...

This is probably just like the Amazon store with "AI," and all these people you think are AI bots are actually Indians.

Man, how many centuries ago did Catholicism lose the plot? Ask yourself how any of that idolatry and displays of wealth have fuckall to do with Christ's teachings.

Assuming you're already maxing things like a 401k and IRA (and HSA if it's available and that's a thing you want to do), I'd say it's worthwhile. My usual problem with them is you're basically going with a "putting your eggs in one basket" strategy by doing so. If your income is tied to the...

The builder here, who probably cleared out a good 150+ lots, and has electric and plumbing ran to them, has basically all but stopped doing anything. It's pretty bizarre. They had been putting up houses super fast, but basically about when Trump got into office it was a hard stop. I chalked it...

Lemme guess without checking, it tanked 5% after.

Oof, so much for those "no recession coming." There's no way this quarter is going to be better than Q1.

Pretty sure this is why I never got into Oblivion outside of screwing around a bit. It actively punishes you for playing the game like an RPG. If I have to change the way I play to gimp myself so the game doesn't get fucky, that's not fun.

I don't think his stance ever changed. This is just people making shit up and it's enough to move markets 1-2%. Like @Sanrith Descartes said, the SEC should destroy these people. It's malicious.

Right, but he's insinuating volatility way worse than this, and for much longer. In that scenario I see money going overseas.

I hope not. If the market is more volatile like this, and it's a long term trend, money will probably move out of stocks and that'd be real, real bad. For everyone and everything.

Honestly, they're just fun to watch for the creative death scenes.

Except earnings aren't forward looking. We won't see earning hit by tariffs until next quarter. Stocks are forward looking, but it's why I said this correction seems kind of retarded to me as the tariffs are applied and then the next day rescinded. I mean, we probably needed a correction after...

Man, went and listened to a bunch of their shit. I really dig it too. Hope this grunge type stuff makes a comeback.

It's probably like 4 or 5 feet deep. It's basically a giant barrel in the ground with a pump that takes your sewage out to the main line in the road. My thing is it'd be installed by a plumber, and they'd know that dropping a fucking vape pen would be a ticking time bomb of destroying the pump...

I honestly barely remember any of the other seasons. I just know this one was very slow and really nothing happened. The brothers storyline could've had some character development, but they decided to throw the incest shit in there which basically killed it.

But how much of that is just the Trump administration piling more bad tariffs news anytime the market starts moving up, and then the Fed who has impeccable timing with tanking it as well?

I mean, the market generally goes up. I suppose it's notable that 100% of the time it's positive within a year, but maybe not unexpected when you just had a massively volatile event. Plus, that thing is entirely 2008 and 2020.

So are smart TVs basically the only option anymore? We've been using a Sony TV we got probably a dozen or more years ago. Works great, and we use a Roku on it. We've had a few different TVs in the bedrooms though, and they all come with some bullshit interface from Amazon or Google or whoever...

It's funny you say this about stuff being cut, cause we just watched the last episode and my wife said "how long do you think these episodes would be if they cut out all these extended transition scenes?" I didn't pay all that much attention to them, but they had so many of them. They weren't...

Remember when that Chinese AI came out and everyone was speculating on how China got ahold of export controlled chips? Not sure how many months ago that was, but now apparently they're not only acknowledging it but it's a massive portion of their revenue?

So basically Benjamin Button, but with a normal person? It seems like it could be decent, but Stephen King and Mark Hamill make me very hesitant.

Wait til he finds the horse shampoo.

Also probably helps that we started Southland (me for the 2nd time) a couple months ago, so I was more aware of the actor.

I thought that was obvious, but maybe it was more fresh in my mind since we had just rewatched the entire season with my mother in law just before the finale.

Seems decent so far. Hamm really does well with TV.

That's fair. But it's getting to the point where not having a clear message looks incompetent. Which in turn pisses off the citizens who now have their retirements on a rollercoaster and are getting fucked. The midterm season isn't that far away.

I made my post prior to the final episode, although it apparently was pretty relevant after it, too. I definitely agree to the point about it no longer being their first day making the next season a bit...off? Also, regarding the woke shit, it wasn't all over the place, but even my wife made a...

Seems like this history making sign was really an indication that nothing remarkable was going to happen.

Even reading the responses, I have no fucking clue what this means. Market about to drop off a fucking cliff?

And yeah, I won't know til later since my shit's in VTSAX, but I would imagine we had a > $100k swing today easily. Saw QQQ was over 11%. Insanity.

What the fuck? Haven't read the thread. Got home from about 5 hours ago, saw the market went up almost 10% today. WHAT THE FUCK?

I'm curious what a "fair deal" means on reciprocal tariffs. Seems the rest of the world really doesn't like being on equal footing.
