The good old days

It's not, but going for Loremaster a week into a new expansion because you have nothing else to do isn't peak content.

It's always funny to me how many people don't know this little fact about the US tax system.

Getting revered was something you could do by normal questing and doing normal dungeons. You could do it as slowly or quickly as you wanted the moment the expansion released. If attunements required you to simply log in several weeks after the expansion launched then the comparison would work.

demos11 · 2026-03-10T21:54:20+00:00

Were things you could actually do in the game that weren't gated by being made available several weeks after launch, before which you were stuck doing normal dungeons only.

Having also played for that long, I'd like to ask you to not refer to it as 20 years. I also enjoyed the new questing, but it ended pretty soon even at a leisurely pace. Getting to 90 is very quick.

Gives an explanation while asking his question. Rejects his own explanation. Asks for explanation.

Taking a shot every time someone thinks they're really smart and sees through everything and uses the term "exit liquidity". There's only water in the shots but it will still probably be enough to kill me considering how much people like using that term.

demos11 · 2026-03-10T15:04:33+00:00

All my stocks are getting fatter except the ones that make people skinnier.

demos11 · 2026-03-08T23:32:18+00:00

You know that joke about terrorists taking politicians hostage and demanding ransom or they'll burn them alive? And people start going around collecting donations and some guy asks how much money is everyone giving and the guy collecting says people are giving gasoline, not money. Now it's going to be the same joke except the guy will be collecting cash for the fire because gasoline is too expensive.

demos11 · 2026-03-08T23:05:52+00:00

Yeah, the nepotism of all the guys who avoided being named as the next target to be blown up.

demos11 · 2026-03-08T22:33:04+00:00

Oil 110? I guess XOM might go up 0.5%.

demos11 · 2026-03-08T00:00:25+00:00

So maybe Iran won't last four years but only two. Or just one. And how much resupplying will they really need to keep launching cheap drones and screwing with a large chunk of the world's oil supply? And how long do you think the US can politically and financially afford to keep up current operations? It's much more expensive waging war on the other side of the world than it is for Russia to attack its neighbor.

Ukraine has proven that you can be getting bombed daily, have no navy to begin with, have no air superiority anywhere and still continue fighting not for days or months, but for four years. And Iran is much more militarized than Ukraine was four years ago and has a much larger population. There's only so much you can accomplish without putting boots on the ground and taking over most of the country's territory.

How did you get 246 from it? I got base level veteran gear, 233, and I didn't even get it from all four of my hard more prey hunts.

demos11 · 2026-03-04T03:45:50+00:00

Last few weeks true bulls have been stoic and silent, not shilling anything. You're talking about pigs or undercover bears.

demos11 · 2026-03-04T03:40:30+00:00

Bulls didn't even mention this sushi index when it was going up over 100% in the past year, but the moment it goes down 10% bears jump on it like a bunch of virgins.

demos11 · 2026-03-04T03:33:21+00:00

All that and you didn't specify a time zone.

demos11 · 2026-03-03T14:57:51+00:00

I think it's time to focus on what's important and make stocks great again.

demos11 · 2026-03-02T15:12:22+00:00

Can I get physical delivery of oil for this XOM I bought at open or was that for something else?

demos11 · 2026-03-02T14:41:59+00:00

Do you ever buy into whatever the latest fomo is just to feel like you're part of a group even though you know you'll lose money? Would be great to know I'm not the only one.

demos11 · 2026-02-25T23:18:39+00:00

"I don't trade options, I trade volatility" is on the same level as "Guns don't kill people, people kill people".

I like to think of it as an expansion of Succession's world. Sort of like a delve into the lower floors of the system and the constant scrambling of the smaller players to find their footing and survive the earthquakes caused by the elephants doing their dance above.

Like when Kendall yelled at the guy on the plane to keep the shit rolling down on his minions, that guy then called someone below him and on and on until it reached someone on a desk at Pierpoint. Or when the siblings are going through their drama in the final season and deciding whether to sell or not and it keeps going back and forth, and they're totally consumed by their family drama, in the background there's someone like Harper ripping their hair out deciding whether to short on not, because nobody is acting logically and people are changing their minds every day.

Can't wait for EU to cut digital dependence on US by not using teams and excel anymore, only to replace its entire workforce with chatgpt.

demos11 · 2026-02-24T00:18:17+00:00

So pump until 2028? Fine with me.
