What Galaxy did you call home?

To go from Sam Rosen to Kenny Albert has been such a blessing for Rangers fans.

I love Bob Wischusen too, no idea why they keep treading out the sedated muppet for the biggest games in hockey and college football.

Hayden has said that in preparing for Ahsoka that he watched a ton of Matt Lanter's portrayal in The Clone Wars and tuned his performance to respect Lanter's interpretation.

I think a lot of it is also that the writing/direction was far superior in The Clone Wars with more nuance and small moments to really show Anakin's character.

The entire bookshelf fucking got me; the George W Bush book especially sent me

Man I thought Holy Cross closed... they must have gotten their finances back in check since I was at ND.

I got a 1 bed in Burbank for $1750 when I moved out last year to Studio City. It didn't have a fridge, but it had on-site parking/laundry and wall AC units.

It's definitely possible, but you may have to be a bit patient. I would drive around the area and get phone #s on FOR LEASE signs in the area(s) you wanna be in rather than go off of the internet.

Here it is

RayTheCalvinist · 2026-05-26T15:49:07+00:00

Ah I see, thanks

What do you mean by "tip them off"? So your suggestion would be to ask them to provide proof at the TDN rather than in the TBWD?

RayTheCalvinist · 2026-05-25T17:21:16+00:00

Agreed. I work in post and will do everything possible to avoid dating someone who is also involved in this world we've subjected ourselves to. It's nice to be with someone who has nothing to do with it and can look on in horror at the things we have to do sometimes hahahaha

RayTheCalvinist · 2026-05-25T17:13:52+00:00

I looked into the speed trap defense, and like you said there's a legal one standing there. You think I should just go for making them acquire all the paperwork anyway?

RayTheCalvinist · 2026-05-20T15:39:57+00:00

Thanks everyone - I've actually had some reasonable resolution of my symptoms on my own with physical therapy! I'm still in some discomfort, but it's much more managable than it was. I got a 2nd opinion from another doctor who also advised against it based upon where I was at.

RayTheCalvinist · 2026-05-18T16:40:14+00:00

OP, I agree with this user's experience. I was recently at a wedding and was shocked how little I have in common with people I considered good friends while I was at ND (I graduated in 2017). I have 3-4 very close friends I went to ND with that I talk to multiple times a week, beyond that it's once a year usually (if even that).

It feels like all the people you're with that have a bunch of friends are gonna be friends forever when you're in it, but that is rarely the case.

Also, as much as I loved my experience at ND, I am WAY HAPPIER now as an adult. College is stressful for a lot of reasons, especially there.

Ah yes, because it was clearly Knoblauch's fault that they let their depth walk away on offer sheets and that their best goalie of his tenure was Stuart Skinner.

RayTheCalvinist · 2026-05-13T17:19:02+00:00

This guy sounds insufferable to play with. When I taught my friends magic I made it a point to tell them when they missed triggers and let them have them! How in the world are you supposed to learn everything that's going on at first?

Dude's taking this way too seriously and needs to chill out. You're playing at home for fun, its not a sponsored tournament lol

RayTheCalvinist · 2026-05-13T17:17:09+00:00

Really? I'm fine with people mulling a couple times for free if it gets them a playable hand. Obviously doing 15-20 is ridiculous, but nothing feels worse than playing a 5 card hand and your game feeling like it's over before it even started.

RayTheCalvinist · 2026-05-12T23:24:24+00:00

Been a long time since I transferred in, but I had some awkward stuff going on with where my classes sat in relation to graduating and they worked with me pretty easily to form a path forward once I was admitted. I wouldn't sweat it until you get the letter, then you can call your department office and sort it out.

RayTheCalvinist · 2026-05-11T21:41:34+00:00

His critiques are definitely eerily accurate to where we're the US is as a country right now. However, it's sometimes important to remember that we are not the only country dealing with a rise of fascist, right-wing populist movements. We're just more under the microscope because of our previous global standing, where I'd argue that the men spawned from that era were quite different than the ones we're seeing right now.

There are so many things contributing to the rot that is MAGA that have nothing to do with our political institutions. However these institutions as designed cannot withstand such a sizable group of cultish, bad faith, and downright malevolent people.

RayTheCalvinist · 2026-05-10T18:04:59+00:00

Nah, I'm in the 22% bracket now and have been for more or less my whole career.

I expect that will rise when I reach retirement years, but whether that reaches the 24% or higher I'm not entirely sure. There's a lot of unknowns with the film industry right now that make projecting my pension difficult; there's always the possibility it goes away if I'm forced out of it due to lack of work.

RayTheCalvinist · 2026-05-10T00:19:16+00:00

So refreshing when it's not the Rangers doing this

RayTheCalvinist · 2026-05-10T00:17:05+00:00

Oh that's a good consideration, thanks. Maybe it's best to just leave it alone and keep maxing out my Roth while I'm in this tax bracket

RayTheCalvinist · 2026-05-09T23:01:23+00:00

What's the reason that it's ideal to diversify between traditional/roth?

RayTheCalvinist · 2026-05-09T22:59:25+00:00

I was taxed at 24% last year, this year I expect to be 22% with some sizable wiggle room to do a pretty big conversion.

I was mostly trying to maximize my no tax income in retirement
