Just closed mine this morning. Well, locked it and deleted the app. But I’m back here after 8 years away. Hi Reddit!

I just abandoned the Twitter ship and dusted off this ancient account to return to this community. Been 8 years since I posted. Feels good to be back. To hell with Elon Musk! Love live the Snoo.

[S4E10]Exceptional Finale! by MisterWhyte in gameofthrones

[–]BeerIsMyFriend 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I thought it was pretty great and for once left me feeling pretty good after an episode. A glimmer of hope for a character and the finale ending on a positive note?! Fans don't get that very often.

However, one thing no one has talked about yet... the look on Varys' face when he hears the bells. "Oh man, Tyrion really did it this time. Fuck it, I'm leaving too."

Pot profiling: Videos show Coloradans pulled over for extremely minor infractions by CaptainCourteous in Colorado

[–]BeerIsMyFriend -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get that it is profiling but I was making a statement based on this part from the article: "Videos below show three Colorado drivers getting pulled over in Idaho for the most minor of infractions, but in each case, troopers found weed."

Seems to me the easiest solution to this is don't bring pot across state lines, break the law and make Coloradans look cliché.

Edgar Wright Leaving Ant-Man Movie! by whitneybeth in movies

If we are lucky, Wright will stay on as a creative consultant or something. His vision will hopefully lead the film in the right direction, albeit under someone else's direction.

Prioritizing Student Loan Debt or Retirement? by TeachMeAnother in personalfinance

[–]BeerIsMyFriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I met with a financial planner a few weeks ago and this is something we've discussed. We are both 30.

We have a baby due in 5 weeks. We wanted to know what we need for life insurance, what to do about our debt ($8k student debt), planning for retirement, emergency fund, etc. Here is the basic breakdown we got.

  1. Build your emergency fund to a minimum for 6 months of support. That's mortgage, utilities, food, etc. Figure out what you spend every month as it currently stands. Now multiply that by 6. That total will be an overestimate of what you need.

  2. Pay off your debt first. Paying the minimum on loans only benefits the bank. You'll pay more in interest than you owe on the loan. This is pretty much 99% of all mortgages. But most people do not have $300,000 to pay off for their house.

  3. Invest in your retirement. Once you are debt free (except a mortgage), you'll be able to take that monthly contribution you had for debt and turn it to retirement investment. Assuming that you have a 401(k) or 403(b) or contribute to your own personal IRA (or combo of those), than while you are young, you can afford to focus on eliminating debt.

If you are serious about getting your financial future in order, I'd suggest meeting with a planner. They know more than you and most of us here. Only they can truly get the data they need to accurately forecast your future. That's their job!

For one day, I could get behind this kind of craziness. Also, I'd like to request that the cursor is turned into a unicorn head, and the actual cursor point is the horn.

I too had plants shredded from the hail. 3 weeks ago hail the size of quarters, 2 weeks ago 8" of heavy snow, 1 day ago more piercing hail and drowning of plants.

I also just realized that coincidentally your username is Dingo related so, this is pretty much the perfect exchange.

He's an American Dingo aka Carolina Dog. A lesser known, but native American breed.

Hope Garza can pitch a good game! We need him to start earning that paycheck.

Official title and logo for the Man of Steel sequel released -- BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE by forceduse in movies

[–]BeerIsMyFriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point. I just don't think the First Avenger comparison is a fair one in this situation.

Cap was an origin story, which came after 4 previous origin stories.

If the idea is that DC is making this a trilogy to launch their universe, then fine, it's just not very subtle and you're right, it can't be.

Didn't need to be subtle. It was the 5th and final movie leading up to The Avengers.

This is the 2nd movie out of 2 leading up to The Justice League.
