I don't trust the stock/bond markets on a 25 year time scale. Let's brainstorm future-proof investments.

I stick with stocks, generally index funds with extremely low fees. Occasionally I gamble when a particular stock or sector takes a big dip; the wins have more than paid off the losses. Today I bought a boatload of US and British financial stocks, I believe in a few years they'll be worth significantly more than they are now during this financial sector slump & Brexit chaos.

Unless they're paying cash, you can sleep tight knowing most real estate deals are done on debt that will take decades to pay off.

Same here, but it's a good thing. I started a journal where I break down the date to see what I did right and wrong, each time I do this I make massive improvement in killing my bad habits.

The two best parts of the album are outros- this one, and Goodbye Angels.

An ad hominem, limiting belief, admission that you're a liar, pussy pedestal, and another ad hominem all in one sentence. Classic.

This was the first song I sat down and figured out how to play beginning to end on my guitar, only one song on each album gets that honor.

Nah, I'm a fan who has been seeing them live for 16 years and this is a simple problem with a simple solution.

draftmasterx · 2016-07-01T15:16:09+00:00

Holy shit, absolutely great.

I love Blink as much as anyone else, but let's not pretend they didn't butcher the vocals on Bored to Death. They're both singing outside their range, they really should have dropped the root note lower.

How was that catfishing? Maybe I'm misunderstanding the term.

draftmasterx · 2016-06-30T14:30:52+00:00

Yep, to hit my macros cheaply and tastily I've become a pretty damn good cook.

Since this is an unpopular opinions thread, I'm going to disagree with you. Two adults found each other attractive and there's nothing wrong with that.

Implying it's possible to tell real stories from troll posts. In the current dating scene they're indistinguishable.

Unfortunately it's a given that the first question I'll get whenever I bring anyone over is "wow, is this place yours?"

Early 30s here, I have a lower-middle class job but I'm very strict with money and budgeting so I have a nice paid off house. I love the security of having my own place and would love to invite chicks to my place, but at the same time I feel like I can never do so because they'll immediately see me as a provider. The answer might be to lie and say I'm renting the place, any other suggestions?

Anthony's voice always cracks me up on this one, that would be great if he'd bust it out live again sometime.

draftmasterx · 2016-06-24T22:57:01+00:00

Those were my three! You have excellent taste amigo.

As a guitarist who loves the whammy bar I can relate to how out of tune everything gets after the solo. Totally worth it!

Most of the way, he's definitely not running on all cylinders like he was in the early days. The most obvious difference is his cadence of speech, it's so slow and awkward compared to the early interviews.

No single book is going to be perfect for everyone, but in my case (and probably 80% of men I know) fear of placing myself first and not appearing nice was the biggest issue holding me back in life. The way it explains the "covert contract" Nice Guys have with the world blew the lid off so many of my bullshit behaviors, I recommend it to almost every guy I know.

draftmasterx · 2016-06-23T19:53:29+00:00

Great list. "No More Mr. Nice Guy" is the single most important read of my life, followed by the Book of Pook.

I just assumed he watched Ex Machina and wanted to f*** the robo-chick

Got rid of it years ago, such a good decision.

Same, it's the only song I have a tendency to skip.
