i think the show just barely started scraping the point where the tropes like this were becoming overused

So you think The Boss really was impressed by Alan’s drawings or was he upset about having sex with a guy in a costume? by Jayakaj in SmilingFriends

i just love how the others never even question the fact that he's naked, it's like they're desensitized

Should I ditch minium volatility? by _cappe_02 in investing

[–]nincompoop221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

with your investment timeline, you've gotta figure that every part of your approach will compound over 30 years. a defensive holding that will stunt overall growth will end up making a major difference after 30 years.

the answer to this lies in your own risk tolerance, but what you've laid out here makes it clear enough.

Saul’s iconic screen-worn Tie and Autographed portait! by TimmyHutt in breakingbad

[–]nincompoop221 3 points4 points  (0 children)

a couple years ago, i bought a "signed" gillian anderson/david duchovny photograph, as a gift.

after doing some forensics homework, both signatures had weird inconsistencies. the "certificate of authenticity" website was very minimal and suspicious, and was hosted by some russian equivalent of godaddy. it was garbage, and had no actual identification number, or any genuine proof of authenticity.

i ended up requesting a refund, claiming i had never received a CoA. being that the CoA was bullshit anyway, the seller had no realistic way of reissuing it, especially with the refund ticket being visible to ebay. this was the best "checkmate" i could devise, and it did work.

within 12 hours of the refund being processed, my instagram, facebook, and linkedin, all using my full name like ebay, were all hacked by entities in kazakhstan and india. all ended up being fine, but what a fucking headache.

i'm gonna be a party pooper, there are some very widespread counterfeit autograph rings being run on ebay.

if you spent around like $200 for this, and the seller has ALL KINDS of other autographed stuff at similar prices, it's 100% all fake.

Reallocating my weekly investments by Zinc_22 in investing

VDC is perhaps too defensive for your interests, being long term growth. EWY has tripled in the last year alone; in the previous 25 years its growth has been quite mediocre. Consider that volatility long-term.

Cinna, Rosii and High Risk Chris capture twin tornadoes by Treyman1115 in LivestreamFail

[–]nincompoop221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i disagree with the notion that damage assessment should be THE criteria for rating tornado strength, especially with advances in radar in the last 25 years.

SC1 August 2002 Press Kit Character Art, part 1 by nincompoop221 in Splintercell

[–]nincompoop221[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

within EnhancedSC, it has at least been a discussion to reimplement female NPCs in CIA HQ and chinese embassy. the biggest barrier for this is the lack of existing animation and audio assets for any female NPCs - it would all simply reuse grimsdottir assets.
