    WandaVision

    This is why I said, before the final episode, if this is a letdown it's a crushing blow to the IP. This is the first piece of phase four of the MCU. Doesn't really instill confidence.

    Ugh, market timing your retirement accounts is always a bad idea. Look at it this way, are you expecting to need the money in the next 10 years? If not, it's almost a guarantee (spare me the Japanese example) that the market will be higher in 10 years. So why sell? Also, keep in mind when I...

    WandaVision

    Rambeau is a perfect example of how terrible the writing for this was. The final episode had two glaring scenes, which, I think she may have only really had two scenes, so that's pretty bad. She's got these brand new powers, and is being held captive. She just randomly uses her powers to solve...

    Wow, what happened there? Fucked off for a few hours and the market ended up green by about 2%?

    Yeah, I like the outside, but the inside is a fucking train wreck. That said, that's more than double the size of my current house (in both square footage and lot size), and it's about what we're putting ours on the market for. And it's not like I live in LA or SF or one of the other major...

    WandaVision

    In this case though, weren't the fans just regurgitating comics plotlines? So the writers were so bad they couldn't even come up with something interesting when they could rip off an already completed work and look good for doing so?

    Yeah, yesterday I was like, "darn, I wish I had bought more around $22." Today I'm like, fuck buying more of this. It's too volatile.

    It's going to be incredibly damaging to the Marvel brand if there isn't some kind of payoff for this show.

    Yeah, I'd really like to just rip the band aid off. This 2% drop, 1% gain, repeat shit is crap.

    So if nothing worthwhile happens in the finale, what the fuck is the point of the entire show? This would be like a movie with no forward plot. Just a bunch of stuff happens and no one cares.

    I'm not entirely sure I want to do that. In theory I do, but it's kind of daunting and I've got a lot of shit already stressing me out (like getting ready to move across the country). But what would I need if I do? Do I need a real estate lawyer? Just print off some contracts from the internet?

    Anyone got any tips for finding a listing agent? I know it's probably locally dependent. But this will be our first time selling a home and I'm not entirely sure the best way to find someone to sell our house. Like, I had mentioned finding a realtor who has a lot of sold properties, but my wife...

    The maps/cover system is probably the most off putting thing about this. It just makes the whole thing feel ridiculous.

    Yeah, the meme stuff is one thing, but the fact that the federal government seems to be getting more and more invested in it is worrisome. Like the Fed pumping trillions into the system isn't something that makes me feel great.

    So is the last episode going to be like 3-4 hours to get that runtime to whatever they said the average was? What the fuck? This was a heavy exposition episode, but I'm intrigued.

    It definitely gets better after world tier 4 or so. Difficulty ramps up and the item drops are way better. Blue tier items start to impact your skills, which makes it fun.

    Wasn't bad. Definitely not worth $60 though. If this was a $30 game I might consider it.

    Ending the correction? This still isn't even remotely a correction. I swear some of you are way too sensitive to red days. We'd need to drop another 7% or so for a "correction," which is usually a 10% drop.

    Which should surprise literally no one. If you weren't smart enough to get out when it jumped up 300% yesterday, you deserve to languish when it's back at $40 at the end of the day.

    We bought points in 2015, VA loan, and got it at 3.25%. Since it's a military town, I was excited that we could potentially get a small premium on the sale by transferring our rate to someone else with a VA. Turns out, that's a pipe dream now. Now I'm worried about what kind of rate we'll get...

    So I've been trying to avoid reading too much about this one in the event I end up playing it. I've basically run my course in Valheim, so I'm looking for something else to play. Did about 100 hours in Factorio and loved it. But my question is more about whether this game is in a "finished"...

    They probably realized how much they made (or could have) with Kobe and so they're trying to hype this shit up. Media in this country is a disgrace.

    I was going to post it earlier today. Some of you are going to have a heart attack with this shit -- when the SPY is down less than 1% and you're acting like it's the end of the world. And that was only the first 2-3 hours of the day. Meanwhile it's back to positive to end the day.

    I'm thinking he's just an idiot WSB'er that got super lucky. The fact that he didn't cash out at like $40M was pretty retarded in my opinion.

    I don't think we get another huge drop. We probably get a normal correction in the 10% range. People still freak out plenty with those. But for the most part won't remember them a year later. Does anyone care about Dec '18 or Sep '17 (shit, or was it 16? I can't even remember) anymore?
