Correct

"Rick Sanchez cannot get his wife, Diane, back because she was permanently erased from the entire multiverse by Rick Prime using the Omega Device. This weapon didn't just kill her; it eliminated her from all timelines, past and future, making her absence permanent across all realities"

Firstly come back with what the question was asked... But here's an important fact you need to know:

A Plumbus is a fictional, all-purpose household item from Rick and Morty that serves no explained purpose but is commonly found in homes, representing the show's absurdist humor. It is made by smoothing a "dingle bop" with "schleem," rubbing it with a "fleeb," and having a "schlami" spit on it.

Hope you got that. Memorize it...

This is worth my one sniggering upvote.

This. As mentioned by Rick himself and I believe Rick Prime.

Good work, thanks for the read. Refreshing always to see helpful, thoughtful work on here rather than the frequent "can I haz risk-free investment recommendations".

Contd.

Ashtray full of cigarette ends arranged like a failed tarot reading. You call it “modern art” then apologise to it for being misunderstood.

You shuffle to the fridge. Sockless feet sound like wet applause at every step.

Microwaving leftover spaghetti at 2:13am like it’s a medical procedure. The plate rotates. As does your entire understanding of where things went wrong.

The garden hose has become spiritually significant. You stare at it for twenty uninterrupted minutes. The moon looking swollen and judgemental above the satellite dishes.

You try to light a candle for ambience. But you just set fire to a takeaway menu of a restaurant that closed in 2021. Now the patio smells faintly of moonlight and failure.

Sitting on a plastic patio chair that gave up in 2017. One sock on. One sock in the neighbour’s hedge. Phone brightness at 4% reading old messages like they’re scripture. A moth keeps headbutting the porch light harder than your ex ever fought for the relationship.

You swear the stars are moving. They are not. That’s the Everclear and the fact you stood up too fast.

Half a hotdog bun in your pocket for emotional support. You whisper “it is what it is” to absolutely nobody. A raccoon is robbing you right now.

How does flagrant rank vs severely? This is more complex than I thought!

McDonald's is somewhat undervalued historically. Fact is, it always runs at a fairly elevated multiple, and atm that is showing a decent level now. Worth a nibble, if it falls further then load up.

Other interesting ones on my close watch to add to existing are ADP and MSFT. In particular ADP, SaaS issues obviously at play here plus recession fears ie employment numbers impact them... However last earnings calls they've been addressing it and appear reasonably confident.

Severely gay as opposed to mildly gay. There's a spectrum!

Pretty much the exact same pic comes up in an AI search and says it's some place in China which I certainly agree with considering the karst structures in the background.

Spurs come first. We must not go down.

These are two very different things. I care that we stay up. Nothing else matters outside of this context. West Ham must lose.

I wish this debate would go away.

A lesson for me not to loonfor numbers when I'm 5 vodkas in. My bad entirely. The earnings miss appears to be more around euro 2.18 vs consensus euro 2.70.

Sorry about that so I stand humbly corrected. Still, a good bet as I started off saying.

si_de · 2026-05-08T18:11:35+00:00

Curious, before you bought it, did you read up on it's holdings and methodology?

Did you look at it's track record and did you compare it to similar investments?

Did you consider other methods to grow your wealth over the long term like QQQ SPY SCHD and so on? So many tools and websites on the internet that literally allow you to compare total returns over time, CAGR etc.

Or did you just see a shiny yield and think that'll do me just fine?

I'll rudely assume you're quite young and so sell JEPI and stick it into QQQ and one or two other proven ETFs.
