Agree with everyone else. This was damn fine writing. I don't think the episode had any low points. Nothing superfluous. Everything was important, everything was interesting. Much better than any of these other MCU shows.

It's inevitable. The points they're using to refute it are vaccination rates, of which Florida is basically identical to the rest of the country.

Time to invest everything I own into JNCO's!

Except Jan - Sep of 2017 was an 8% increase, followed by an 8% increase through the end of the year. 2021 has been a 22% increase from Jan - Sep.

It's just baffling. There has been shit all to play for the last year. This is a game that doesn't require much to push out the door. But in another 6 weeks or so the floodgates of gaming open and there will be tons of competition. Amazon in their infinite wisdom decided that they wanted to...

It's funny, because I feel like delaying New World was a fuck up with so much other stuff coming out in October. Now they're delaying this one and making the same mistake. Again.

Geez, not even just 2022, but summer 2022. It'll be like 3 years after filming wrapped that they release it.

I guess I don't know shit about Hawkeye, but I feel like it was kind of implied there was something special about him (vision? a "6th sense" about shooting arrows?). Is that not the case, where anyone can just pick up a bow and be a superhero?

Yeah, it's also why I feel pretty good about everything though. This is how rich people feel; the inflation gets rolled up into equities so I don't feel the pain. My wife has pretty high anxiety about retiring, but I can tell her even if we get a 20% drop, we're still good because that's more...

Just did our monthly account checks and we've doubled our net worth in 2 years. Shit, my TSP is up 13% since quitting my job in March. So that's without any contributions.

I saw an article the other day highly critical of the 2nd season. Basically amounted to, "everything is too happy." Fuck off. I enjoy this show because it's got a cheery disposition. Every single other piece of media has a conflict that runs through multiple episodes, has to tackle the...

Just call me the Rajaah of investing.

Great. I'm all for a race to the bottom. When none of us have electricity or even clean water, I can't wait to see what comes next.

I always like to point out the income inequality between someone born in a western country and the other 90% of the world. Your median $50k salary puts you into the top 1% of the world (1.3%, but close enough). Would it be fair for someone in India or the Congo to get a piece of your pie...

Wife started watching and I wasn't really paying attention. I told her it suffers from the same thing as "I Care A Lot." The characters are just complete assholes. Why should I care about any of them? I don't know if it's a Netflix problem, or Millennial problem, but they write characters who...

The baffling part was mid-way through that was their security breach thing.

Is that not a projectile?

Sold the last of what I had this morning.

So it was my understanding that the real danger with hurricanes is flooding/surge and not wind. And when it is wind, it's because of projectiles. Since most of these buildings had been through Katrina (and likely replaced), why does it seem like the wind is such a major problem? I feel like a...

Yes, the lastest and last season.

I downloaded the first six episodes of this season since Hatorade said the Judy episode was good. And even despite knowing the first episode was going to be bad, I figured we'd just leave it on and not pay attention before picking it back up. But wow, it was so much more in your face than I was...

Does this mean it leaks oil everywhere? Or does it just mean a platform is adrift?

NO being on the dirty side of the storm is going to blow ass for them.

I really don't get these models. The entire time, to me, it's looked like the storm is going to track mostly NNE. And yet all the models have it suddenly just shooting way west to hit New Orleans. But every few hours when they update, it's still on that track NNE. The veer is becoming more...

Revenge trading? I honestly don't care that much. It's 0.09% of our net worth. Or really, 0.046% that I lost and want to recover. Like I said, the money doesn't matter, just the principle. Our net worth fluctuates by about 10-20x the amount we lost every day.

Sadly, to make back the 50% I lost on AMC and just get out of short term trades altogether. Don't need the money, it's just the principle. Unfortunately I took my 50% loss from AMC and bought PLTR close to a top. Been slowly getting back to even with it, but I've still got the 100% to go to...

Yeah, I've done pretty well at timing the last two tops (assuming today was a top, I was super close to the high today), and bought back in around $22 last time it was there. Sold about 2/3 of what I had today, probably should've sold it all. I'm tempted to put this play money into something...

Katrina landed on August 29th in New Orleans. Looks like this will be on the same day.

So I've mentioned before I fucked up with PLTR and ended up buying near the ATH. I've managed to dollar cost down to $26.01. Should I just get out of it now and wait for it to inevitably fall back down towards $20-22? Or just get out now and get out forever?

What'd he say? Markets at a new intra-day high. Again.

I hope there's no movement on interest rates until I can lock in my rate for this mortgage. Fucking thing sucks!

Shit, reading comprehension failure for me. For some reason I thought the post I quoted was talking about New World and not Bless. Never played Bless. I got hooked on New World during beta and despite my apprehensions about it, am really looking forward to playing it.

I wasn't super convinced about it, but something about the open beta really hooked me. Not sure how long it'll last, but I'm looking forward to it for at least a month or so.

You don't think viewers will know what to make of a black man in an orange jumpsuit? Seriously?

So no one's mentioned it, but we briefly hit 4500 today. The peak prior to covid was about 3300, and we hit that again around a year ago. Since then we've stacked another 1200 points with barely any down days.

Why the talk about inflation all the sudden? Is it the extra $7T that Congress is getting ready to approve? I'm not sure why that'd be a surprise at this point. The spending has been out of control for the last 12 months.

What kind of psychopath is still in AMC?

I'm glad everyone else isn't enjoying it, because I tried and figured I just wasn't getting it. Game just wasn't fun.

Likely going to get another ATH today. This just seems completely unsustainable.
