    Yeah, there's no way that's the bottom. This is going to be a long painful grind downwards from what it looks like.

    I really hope this raid is as fun as everyone is making it sound. I'd also like to know what all this GvG shit is. But yeah, it's getting old just pissing an entire week of materials on hones and you make zero progress. Two days ago I found myself just not even caring enough to log in for...

    I said it a few weeks ago, but there's literally no good news about the economy, heck, maybe about anything, coming out lately. I mean, what exactly is going to make the market turn around all the sudden? As @Furry said, the only possibility might be inflation running so hot that dollars become...

    Not that 25.5 was a great number or anything, but uh, yeah... Today seems to prove my point that it's a worthless "metric" anymore (or the people buying VIX options are colossal fucking morons).

    Also things are a lot different when the government hasn't forced all your competitors to close. And you market tranny underwear to kids (although I know that hasn't impacted these previous quarter numbers).

    I feel like the VIX is one of those things that holds even less meaningfulness than technical analysis. Just look at the last six months of VIX versus what the stock market did and tell me that this is a valuable tool anymore. Or are VIX values of 16 a sign that 3% daily swings are normal?

    I think this is part of why I like the support classes so much. Of the classes I've played you either feel like you're made of paper, or tanky as hell. And supports with their ability to essentially take care of it themselves makes them fall into that tanky feel.

    It's bizarre they still haven't moved the super easy gold off the welcome pass thing. They fucked up rapport but that remains.

    Seems weird to say the economy isn't impacted. We've had plenty of people here talking about how the supply chain is fucking their business. It's only not impacting it if you buy into the bullshit numbers the administration puts out about how amazing everything is. Otherwise it's actually a...

    Weird for ZH to make that mistake. A recession is always trailing. Generally we've pulled out of it by the time we get two quarters of data. It's very possible this is the 2nd quarter and we start pulling out of it immediately. Meaning recession isn't "on deck" but "almost over." Or it could...

    Awesome, another -1.5%+ red day. We're getting fewer bounce back days. Shit is starting to look more like an actual bear market with a massive drop off. Unfortunately that pattern is starting after we already had a huge drop. There's basically no good news anywhere in the economy. I don't see...

    Part of this is also not really feasible for the masses. Guessing you have a shit load of gold, cause most people don't have the excess to do instant una's. I also forgot rapport. Guess that's completely optional, but that shit adds up too. I'm also a bit suspect on these 3 minute chaos runs...

    People keep saying stuff like that, but there's no way it takes you an hour unless you're literally just running lopang on all 9 chars and that's it. Just doing one character with 3x una, 2x chaos, 2x guardian, and loading screens you're probably at least at a half hour. If you're completely...

    Bullshit. You can go back in the Politics thread when Trump signed both omnibus bills and find tons of posts of people who like Trump but hated the decision. I'm also not sure of anyone who's said interest rates near zero when the economy was booming was smart. I think the consensus was it'd...

    Negative GDP, highest gas prices in history, low workforce participation, but I should be happy because it could be as bad as other countries?

    Man, this shit is getting tiresome. I know we're not supposed to get political, but our country is such a fucking shit show right now.

    I really hope we pull out of this tailspin before the end of the year. Don't particularly want to liquidate anything when we're down 20%.

    That's funny, we just got back from a van trip a few weeks ago. I told my wife I sometimes wondered if people were judging us when we had California plates.

    You're saying if we went back to before everyone realized they were trying to groom all children we wouldn't have had a problem with it? What a shocker. The part you lose me is that you're saying now that we do know, we should just ignore it as harmless.

    I think people forget 2008 and how it didn't all come crashing down in an afternoon. It was really a 3-5 month event from top to finally fitting bottom. In this current situation, we've done so much to try to soften the landing that it'll probably get drawn out for way longer. Edit: And as...

    They can still do whatever they want. I just don't get the lying about stuff that anyone who would actually listen to the Fed knows isn't true. It's not like Biden lying about something so CNN can run a soundbyte. No one who actually makes an effort to listen to the Fed is stupid enough to...
