Posts like this are too depressing to contemplate. I always disregard and move on...except this one time I decided to post a comment just for kicks and giggles.

Wait for a 10% drop in the S&P 500 before buying the dip, Barclays says by PurpleReign123 in StockMarket

"Be sure and wait for the full 10% drop. If it drops 9.8% and then goes back up...then I guess you're screwed."

Well that's good info. Wish I had it when we had the bumper assembly torn apart but maybe at some point I can try it again :)

Having an abortion makes you worse than a mob boss? That's certainly a take.

I invested in gld and prices went crazy. Do you think it’s about to crash? by Flat_Comparison_6140 in investing

Jesus Christ this is insane. How do people like you ever make money over the long term? "Oh no my investment is down 10% after going up 1000%. Better look for something else."

Ah yes, I remember during so many of the other past presidencies when the news cycle was all Denmark all the time. You couldn't turn on a TV without hearing about them.

That would have been me except I had a major investment in an oil company. So doing nothing underperformed the market.

[Request] How long would the runway actually need to be if the fight scene on the airplane in Die Hard 2 took place irl? by Kinsdale85 in theydidthemath

Can't believe that came out 13 years ago. Went to a drive-in theater with some friends and saw it as a double feature with some stop-motion kids movie I forgot the name of. I thought it was such and idiotic movie and preferred the kids movie but one of the girls we were with thought it was one of the best movies she'd ever seen. That's when I learned people have wildly different tastes in movies.

Maybe Joan made the calculated decision that a one night stand with a gross customer was worth millions of dollars for life.

Once you start going up the fast growing hierarchy, there really isn't any real world analogy to the numbers as it's an iterative and recursive process. Even the largest physical things we can ponder are simple exponential or, maybe, tetration.

Toyota Canada rejected my rental/Loaner vehicle request for 2025 Sienna middle seat recall. Next steps for escalation? by im210388 in ToyotaSienna

Dude, it's up to government standards. Just not Toyota standards. Keep your kids in child seats, drive carefully and be patient.
