  1. A lot of reasons. I think it removes us from our communities and allows us to ignore others in a way that blocks empathy and what not. But I also just want to test my strength of will. I used to say I "don't have an addictive personality." I never got into booze, drugs, gambling, gaming, whatever, in a way that I couldn't just drop it whenever I wanted to. It's clear to me I can't say that any more.
  2. my phone addiction is getting really bad. i'm going to try to go without idle phone stuff all through may. no pull it out while waiting in line, no grabbing it at a stop light, nothing.
  3. no way a gorilla could take 100 dudes. i saw a tweet where a lady goes "is it just me or does it seem like running a marathon wouldn't be that hard." it shows an obliviousness to exhaustion from mass repetition.
  4. I think it worked. Trump just tweeted BOOM is my BFF
  5. Checking on my stonking skillz. I've got nine individual holdings. Four of them are -76%, -89%, -94%, -97%. Not bad, not bad. My five that don't look like that aren't nearly high enough to offset.
  6. NFTs will become the symbol of this era as historians look back at the cycle of Gilded Ages that our country goes through.
  7. it amazes me that grubbs can throw 90. he is completely vertical the whole throw. it is all arm action.
  8. i know we laugh at mizzou all the time, but it really is baffling. i feel like you line up arlington martin 21 times in the SEC you'd get one win.
  9. Can’t find on Roku. ESPN says this event has not yet started.
  10. Feels like just a diversification strategy. Why not guarantee a 5% return on a small chunk of the 401(k)? There maybe some political brain rot buried under my reasoning there, but I don’t think it’s the overwhelming part and I don’t think it’s irrational. It feels conservative.
  11. Run doesn’t get charged to him.
  12. the top .0000001% of the population is my type too, surprisingly.
  13. other 401K talk, throwing it here. 401K loans seem smart in the following situations: 1) you've got a steady job with little risk of termination before the end of the payback period. 2) you've got an existing loan you can use to pay it off. 3) you think the US is entering a phase when there won't be a ton of growth of your 401K. I think all three are true now. I've got a 5.75% loan on a car for $45k. I'm thinking of just paying it off with a 401K loan. i get all the interest instead of the lender. i'm not missing out on growth of that money right now. doing the math, it looks like i'm giving up about $200 a month interest right now while watching the $45 k that would fund the loan shrink in my 401K. The big downside to a 401K loan generally is that you are refilling your 401K, which was funded with pre-tax dollars, with post-tax dollars. But that is why you only use it for number 2 above: you would be paying off some existing loan off with post tax dollars, of course. So you're having to use post tax dollars on one or the other -- either to pay the lender or to pay you. I don't expect the 20% growth rates we've had for the last couple of years to continue, so I think this is a good time to use that money elsewhere.
  14. i managed to get spy at $510 just two days ago. $543 right now. 6.5%. this is dumb.
  15. I legitimately think I’ve watched this skit more than any other one. Every line kills me.
  16. I did a google on the youngest pope yesterday out of the same curiosity. Quite the story. 20 year old pope was pope 2 times and sold the papacy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Benedict_IX Poping also seemed to be the family business. Half his relatives were popes.
  17. legitimately news for retards. how can anyone read that site and think they are getting anything but spin.
  18. had some cash so decided to buy spy an hour ago. i'm already broke. they always say 'catching a falling knife is super easy you should try it,' but i'm not so sure.
  19. basically this. he started a ball rolling one way in a giant organization that was always rolling in the opposite direction. major in the sense that it was entirely new and opposite of what any that prided themselves on being doctrinal purists would say. incremental in that there is still not going to be a rainbow flag hung in the vatican for a few thousand more years.
  20. I bet theres a non European, non America/Latin American pope next, reflecting the growth of the church in Africa and Asia. He blessed same sex couples. It was a major shift. "they" are basically all Francis acolytes.
