No.

If you choose to work for a Nazi billionaire you get what you get. I can’t imagine all the things they’ve seen and heard.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 1 week ago:
That’s not what lame duck means. And sending people to prison in Guantanamo Bay, El Salvador, and Panama is pretty significant. They can’t even find one of the legal guys who has been ordered to be returned to the US. US (possibly world) heading for economic recession if not depression. Inflation and lack of work like you’ve never seen unless you’re 100 years old. We’ve got an anti vaccine fuckwit in charge of healthcare. An unelected oligarch has dismantled large portions of the federal government. They’ve got their eyes on social security, Medicare, and Medicaid. It’s certainly not nothing.

I have a shark vacuum, I don’t know the model. It’s really good for two reasons. First, it slides down low profile to go under things easily. Second, it has a three foot long detachable suck stick so you can get bigger stuff or get down in cracks. It’s great for around the litter boxes. 4.5 stars because things could always suck more.

It’s very front of mind because these are the “interesting times” from the Chinese curse. Even people I’ve always known to say they don’t pay attention to politics, can’t watch the news it just makes me sad, etc. These people are talking politics every day. It’s hard not to.

I love eating the box, that’s for sure.

They’re delicious, good for you, and two large ones are only about 100 calories. I didn’t eat them for years but now I get them every week.

I suppose you could shave them. But really you don’t even notice the hairiness. Try it! Tons of fiber and vitamins, it’s good for you.

It’s not owned by a corporation and doesn’t sell your data or use it to feed an algorithm. So yeah I’d say it’s a lot better.

Like most (all?) big counter-culture movements, most of the people who were “in” it were not really there for deep seated beliefs. It was cool, there were parties and music, sex and drugs were plentiful. Then it was time to grow up put all that stuff behind them.
I don’t mean to disparage the whole hippie thing. Lots of people really believed in it and do to this day. I just think the majority were there for the fun then got back to “real life”.

It’s just something people will keep repeating until the end of time because they don’t have anything important to say.

This is the right way to go unless you’re totally incompetent with money or a gambling addict.

You make good comments, I’ve seen you around. Take it from a 41 year old if you want, you deserve to be here. You’re more thoughtful than the average person your age and that will only improve once your brain gets finished cooking 😉
- Comment on Why am I like this? 4 weeks ago:
So I tend to tear up when I eat really hot temperature food and then I like to add a lot of chili paste and jalapenos to pho. So I end up crying in my soup. I look ridiculous but I just joke that I’m adding some salt.

So I wore my beautiful waxed canvas jacket for like five days without a shower. It really smelled. I threw it in the washer with other clothes and the bottom hem on one side got ripped and it’s not as waterproof anymore. Listen to this person.

We’ll see. I would have “lost” another several grand today if I’d stayed in. So I’m right once. Given that I check the market several times each day, it would have to be one hell of a jump for me to miss it at this point. But I doubt it’s coming any time soon.
This isn’t luck or gambling. This is recognizing that the economy is being destroyed either purposefully or through wild incompetence. Right now the market is reflecting that.

Hopefully anyone buying a new car understands that the second you drive it away it’s losing 20% or more of its value.

I’m talking something one year used with 10k miles on it will save you $10k+.
- Comment on Who needs retirement when you can buy an asset that loses value over time? 1 month ago:
Not having it invested has “saved” me thousands of dollars so far. This could be a full on depression coming. The market is not smart. It is irrational.
- Comment on Who needs retirement when you can buy an asset that loses value over time? 1 month ago:
You’re totally right and normally I would ride the dip. But we’re not in normal times. I’m thinking recession inevitable, depression possible. I’ll try not to miss the bottom of the dip, but that could be years from now. I’m happy with my decision.
He will say something incredibly stupid just about every day, you can take that to the bank. After delaying the tariffs again he announced 250% tariff against Canadian dairy because he misunderstood their variable tariff protection scheme. Even if the tariffs never officially come to pass, this on and off shit is terrible. The market is irrational but it hates uncertainty.

So I bought a Challenger R/T with 14k miles on it four years ago. I have put almost 70k miles on it, and it’s now worth $4k more than I paid for it.
For real, if you can get an old Ford truck from the nineties in good condition with low mileage it is probably a better investment than a 4% 401k match. My next door neighbor picked up a decent 90s Toyota truck that had been sitting in a barn for $1000. He is a mechanic so there’s that, but I thought he made an excellent purchase. So what if it’s missing some clear coat and has rust spots in non-critical locations on the body?

Personally I pulled everything out of index funds right before the market tanked. I know trying to time the market is a fool’s errand, but it was so obvious that the US was about to shit the bed.
Now if that money is worth anything in a few years I have no idea. If we pull through I will reinvest. I’m literally thinking about buying gold, something that I thought was stupid just a short time ago. I read that JP Morgan Chase flew $4 billion in gold to their vault in NYC a month ago. Other big banks are doing the same.
Fuck the big banks, don’t get me wrong, but they know about risk and hedging.
- Comment on Germany to reach out to France and UK over sharing of nuclear weapons 1 month ago:
Just curious from an American here -
Why should the EU have treated the UK better during brexit? It was clear at the time that they were weakening Europe and themselves on the back of things like immigrant fear stoked by far right and Russian propaganda.
The people of the UK that voted leave or didn’t bother to vote fucked themselves didn’t they?
