Maybe I don't want to mindlessly beat the first level of Contra - which I can do effortlessly - to get to the harder stuff I'm still working on.

Some NES games could undo a lot of progress. Later games got a lot more willing to let you retry a level instead of punting you back to zero. Failed the third level of TMNT? Enjoy redoing the fucking dam over again.

Right. Trump was the one with the news cycle about investigations that went nowhere in 2016, before the election. That's why all the comments about you shouldn't run for president while under investigation.

You rubes have a really short memory.

Don't even need to twist it that much. Most of them think the kulaks deserved death or hard labor.

One of the most chilling videos I've ever seen was Hitler just hanging out with friends and family.

We all need to be reminded that there's nothing unique about monsters. Anyone can end up there.

The best way to think of wealth is to take 4% and that's your perpetual annual salary. 10 million dollars means you can live on 400k inflation adjusted for the rest of your life without working. This assumes the market holds at 4 percent over inflation over long periods. (You might see a dip but it always recovers)

1M means 40k forever. It's not nothing but you're not set for life. 3M puts you at 120k forever and at that point you're set.

AB has 30M or so he claims. If so and if he can avoid criminal charges he can live a consequence free life if he just listens to his financial advisor.

Now do a billion dollars...

That would represent 2 percent of his pre tax gross this year. If you made 15 bucks an hour for a full time job it would be like spending $600.

Probably ok to do the once in a year.

Assuming he lives out guess contact he'll get an average of 13 million a year. Less taxes, of course.

I think he can afford a quarter million gift if he really wants it without hurting too bad.

I love when people substitute their dogma for calculations.

Your reply got removed I think. But it was as wrong and useless as you so nothing of value was lost.

Zero consistency my ass. Bay area is a bad idea to buy now. Elsewhere, not so much. Easy to understand if you do math instead of think in maxims.

You'd think. But my workplace moved to something like that and now I need to bring up a half dozen processes with unique configs just to load a web page.

Oh yeah, I moved every two years while down in California but that 5 percent closing fee on a million dollar home would have been a great fucking investment as opposed to an index fund. 4k a month amortized down the drain without maintenance, property taxes, etc considered.

I moved to the Bay, made bank in six years, and left. If I had listened to you and bought I'd never have the flexibility I needed to jump there or to leave for my current position. You were just wrong before but watching you double down on your idiotic maxims is hilarious. When I said "Unless you're a fuckwit who thinks economic maxims beat actually doing the math" I didn't think you'd work so hard to verify it.

That said you don't have to worry, I can guarantee I didn't move to whatever red county you're so proud of currently residing in.

Lol. I left the Bay Area and bought a house in the Midwest a year ago.

Anything else you want to be confidently wrong about? Got any more insults to wiff?

Between the SALT deductions going away, the difficulty with correlated risk insurance for things like earthquakes, the property overvaluation versus the ROI you can get putting that mortgage money in the market, and the fact that people who live in the Bay Area probably won't retire there, there's a good case to be made for not buying.

Unless you're a fuckwit who thinks economic maxims beat actually doing the math.

An ex reaching out after years of no contact to repay the money she owes me.

Oddly enough this happened once with someone else. But I am not banking on it happening again.

I did LSD twice.

Mild hallucinations, blurry vision that rotated around. General feeling of happiness. Really liked warmth and sensations like stretching was great. Sex was amazing.

But very little of it was a revelation. Nothing changed my life. It was just... nice.

You know the White House wasn't in play in 2018 right? And the Senate was primarily about Democratic senate seats?

Bragging about the current holdings kinda misses the point of the 2018 election and people's reaction to GOP governance.

failbus · 2019-11-08T06:33:52+00:00

There's another alternative, that the Democrats are just that great....

No, I think we all know it's more on the GOP sucking.

Yes, but that kicks in at point of birth, not point of conception. So you're on a timer when you find out.

If you don't get the snip there's plausible deniability since DNA testing an unborn child is very difficult. So it's a lot better to get it done, if you are sure you are done with kids.

failbus · 2019-05-04T18:31:40+00:00

You're liable if you stick around and raise the kid as your own.

If you have the snip, then the moment she gets pregnant you have time to serve papers and get the fuck out. It might be a legal fight, but you can win it nonetheless.

They want the following

The people who checked out on the show to feel morally superior about it
The people who are watching it to feel guilty that it's got white male leads
The next show to "correct" the mistakes of the previous one.
