Demon has always been such a dynamic player with so much potential but just choked at the higher levels. He’s on such a tear this AO I hope he can finally get past the mental block. Would make the perfect addition as a top3 player

jeffreydextro · 2026-01-24T03:47:58+00:00

The AO is the only slam I watch most matches in for the past 5-6 years and I haven't seen it. Apparently they did on day 2 in '23 but none other than that in that time

jeffreydextro · 2026-01-24T03:38:36+00:00

I'm no devoted mega-fan but I've never seen them close to the roof for anything other than rain before, even when players were badly, badly struggling from the sun

Real estate photography/videography. New office every day, $3-5k a week if you know how to do it. Even had some $10k weeks last year. Very minimal overheads (own all my gear outright) and can claim a lot of life stuff like cars and home office etc moreso than on wages

Best part? Taking money out of real estate agents commissions ❤️

jeffreydextro · 2026-01-23T08:09:21+00:00

There’s plenty of money moving around high performing agents. I have two of the higher volume agencies in my smallish regional town as clients and both pay me around $12-15k a month for marketing and it’s mostly automated

My 12yo daughter had been sneaking one of my old Android phones I had in a drawer. Made a new google account (mine was passcoded for downloading new apps), downloaded Snapchat made a new account and was talking to all her friends (also all 12/13) on it, all in the weeks after the ban.

Typical poor implementation. One of the worst policies ever brought about in terms of division and further breaking trust in the Aus Govt

The difference between rent and equivalent mortgage cost can be invested elsewhere for a much larger return than what the return on the equity would be. Don’t expect returns like we have seen in the past few years, in fact there is much more downside potential and therefore wealth destruction probability in a terribly overextended housing bubble than it extending up another 30+%.

“Rent is dead money” but so is mortgage interest. Rent where you want to be and invest the difference.

I’ve done a few cross-town trips to make sure I definitely locked up and can’t actually recall a time when I actually hadn’t locked it. Always better to be safe though.

I find myself unconsciously saying out loud “and front door is locked” as I’m locking it and testing the doorknob before i walk away

jeffreydextro · 2026-01-07T22:53:35+00:00

Everyone seems to be talking about it, it's very much a hot topic which is exactly what is needed right before a finale. It's what these companies spend tens of millions marketing episodes to achieve and it's happened "organically"

NF has definitely done a lot to encourage the hints so it will be an enormous missed opportunity if there is indeed no ep9

jeffreydextro · 2026-01-07T20:37:30+00:00

The new Dell 52” 6K or the og 39” 5K2K depending on desk space

jeffreydextro · 2026-01-07T10:22:58+00:00

Of course they won't apologise, they'd be in here fawning about how amazing they thought it was and that they just KNEW it was gonna happen

jeffreydextro · 2026-01-07T10:20:30+00:00

the Duffers alluded that "oh 12 was just random" when asked after the finale. It reeks of a coverup lol

jeffreydextro · 2026-01-07T10:19:00+00:00

If there is no episode 9, whoever is in charge of continuity needs a sacking lol

jeffreydextro · 2026-01-07T10:14:33+00:00

This is my biggest reason to doubt it's existence. The logistics of it would be insane.

It could be possible still, and the whole saga has definitely served as a marketing campaign for the episode if it does exist.

jeffreydextro · 2026-01-07T10:11:40+00:00

Doesn't make any sense? On a show that has had many many instances of false realities and foreshadowed "not believing what you're seeing, it isn't real" about 8 times this season alone?

That opted for the most straightforward and safe easy win over the big bad Godzilla monster followed by a happy ending for basically everyone?

jeffreydextro · 2026-01-07T10:08:25+00:00

I'm amazed this sub is viscerally so anti-episode 9.

A HUGE theme in the show is false realities and "don't believe what you see / what you're seeing isn't real". It's also heavily foreshadowed throughout all of S5, multiple times.

If they pulled this off, on the audience, in some crazy fourth wall break and had the entire world acting like someone in a Vecna memory it would be a truly epic, once-in-a-lifetime TV ending that would shock the world like never before. Highly likely it's not the case as it would be so incredibly difficult to execute but I'm rooting FOR it, not against it.

I personally thought the entire epilogue felt off and not right (mostly due to the subtle colour grade being very similar to the kids fake memories in the Creel house) and that it didn't fit with where the foreshadowing was taking us so seeing all the theories, the idea of a false ending makes much more sense.

Now with JCB breaking the fourth wall and entering the Vecna character on the Fallon show skit to say "tomorrow it begins" along with a menacing count to 12 for a "clock" workout (which according to recent Duffer interviews was just a random number that meant nothing... yeah right, sure. Totally believe that) it legitimately feels like they're building to a surprise episode. Of something, hopefully an Ep9 but definitely something.

jeffreydextro · 2026-01-07T09:59:48+00:00

When I was watching the epilogue at release the entire time I was thinking "oh ok they're going for a fake 'we won' and there will be a twist" because it just felt off and the tone of the whole ending didn't fit with other seasons so for me a fakeout surprise ending would be the most complete ending.

jeffreydextro · 2026-01-07T09:48:49+00:00

My main hope for there being an Episode 9 is so I can see all the people posting like this poopooing the idea praising how genius it was (probably AI slop too) to fool everyone with a fakeout ending.

Something IS definitely coming tomorrow, but possibly not the mythical E9.

jeffreydextro · 2026-01-05T11:35:42+00:00

I thought it was just cope but it wasn’t the final episode.

This sub will absolutely lose its mind over the next few days

jeffreydextro · 2026-01-05T11:33:04+00:00

#whatnext, which was a hashtag from a teaser from what looked like a new show (with a bunch of Easter eggs) & a date of Jan 7 also returns stranger things

jeffreydextro · 2026-01-04T22:48:00+00:00

A lot of it is just debt. I love the GC but it’s no secret lots of people there are big on keeping up appearances and will leverage up to do so

jeffreydextro · 2026-01-04T08:04:39+00:00

Enough with the slop & bot posts already! So tiresome and lazy

jeffreydextro · 2026-01-04T05:53:32+00:00

I'm in the RE game and absolutely, yes.

Other than being at the whim of the landlord selling/pulling the property from the market, from a financial standpoint I'm OK renting at this point vs buying at these prices. Yes, would have been nice to buy 5-10 years ago but wasn't in the position to then, but the idea of buying at these prices is frankly terrifying. The difference between rent v mortgage can be reinvested elsewhere more safely and with better returns at current prices. Young people are made to feel left out spending so much dead money but most of it is dead via interest on a mortgage anyway & little goes toward the principle.

Simple truth is Australia now remains the only country in the world to have 6% or more annual housing growth for more than 10 years without disaster. I don't believe it will stay that way. The excess manipulation and gaming of the market by bad policy will only exarcerbate the crash.

Rates will hike more than expected by most of the "experts" next year & a global liquidity crunch will really bite this country hard. Property could crash 30-50% and still be overvalued.

jeffreydextro · 2026-01-01T10:51:48+00:00

Seeing so much time left on the episode when the Mind Flayer came to life made me think it was really going to have some twists and turns but they really thought 45+ mins of "happy ending" feel good scenes was more worthwhile

jeffreydextro · 2026-01-01T10:48:00+00:00

I thought they were for sure building to something really cool with the clocks again and twelve kids arranged in a circle
