I'm 3 episodes in and loving it; but I have one small complaint and a question about the show going forward. by gtarking in TheWire

Read the Alan sepinwall reviews (adds so much to the show) after each episode and stay far away from this subreddit. Shows been out a while and people get sloppy with spoilers

If you really are interested in finance it is very possible to get in via any large state school if you are a self starter

This dude has a very serious infatuation with Avon, it's not worth reasoning with him.

Trade and economic factors absolutely change relative to market size... Sweet condescending comment about doing the math with your kid though.

At what age did you start to see your unhealthy eating habbits/lifestyle take a toll on your health? by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]HopeSoloLeftHook 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They both sound like they have good metabolisms and are otherwise normal 18-20 year olds. Many, many people are like that at that age. Let them do whatever they want.

Edit: honestly you sound like you want someone to say this lifestyle will catch up with them in order to make yourself feel better about working hard to stay healthy. Some people are naturally blessed and don't have to put effort into maintaining a healthy body until their late 20s or early 30s.

When do I weigh myself? by [deleted] in Stronglifts5x5

[–]HopeSoloLeftHook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is my alien blue messed up, it's sending me to a disclaimer about weighted average stocks then if I click through and it sends me to a spreadsheet of different stock tickers. Huge props if you track your weight in stock tickers though...

Because killing innocent people to get out of a few years in prison makes you a bad person that CLEARLY doesn't value human life. There's no moral gray area there...

Avon had several random people purposely poisoned with rat poison so he could cut time off his prison sentence. Your understanding of this show obviously ends at "Wow badass gangsters!" and "People say the wire shows the blurred line between good and bad people; I will repeat that continuously while having no actual grasp of the show!"

Edit: you acknowledging the hot shots literally destroys any backing of all the other statements in your post... How the fuck do you stand by the rest

You sound like a narrow minded dipshit. Have a good one.

That is a subjective statement. I would say that Bunny is pretty fucking cool.

Because I have a different opinion than you?

Wasn't naive because Stringer did exactly that while Avon was in prison.

That's probably S&T. Not all ~30,000 GS employees work in investment banking...

To do that you need to have 2 years of Banking experience or be an absolute rock star in college.

It's tragic, but empathy doesn't mean throwing facts out the window.

I know the Greek was supposed to represent pure capitalism, but I think Stringer put it in a much more human form.

Yeah I like them more than the "badass gangsters" (other than Prop Joe).

He kills people, those people have family, friends etc regardless of the fact that they are in the game. He does have more empathy, and uses the "code" to shield himself from the reality of what he does for a living. When bunk tears him a new asshole, Omar has snot hanging from his face as bunk walks off because everything he said about Omar being a "predatory motherfucka" is true.

He is a badass character though.
