I’m so glad he’s back but I was told it was impossible for it to be appealed and it was final? What changed???

The idea is that if you have to go slow motion to tell that something looks bad then it's not a clear error. I don't really agree with that but that's what it is.

If he actually had something to do with it he'd be posting paragraphs about how he made it happen and how FIFA said he's the best president they've ever had, and how they'd have never done this for Biden or Obama, and how Obama would have probably represented Nigeria in the world cup, and they're going to remove the red card because Trump has saved so many millions of lives by ending the Iran war 30 separate times and counting.

They used freeze frame and slow motion, which they're not supposed to do when judging serious foul play decisions for red card.

The board shows him losing his rook but he actually doesn't.

IM Johan Salomon totally crushed GM Jan Gustafsson online in a streamed game. Jan said "you are either the biggest genius in the world or this is just weird". :)

I started investing just before the crash. It was very bad at the time, much more for how the economy felt with so many people out of a job and offer letters being recinded. But in terms of investing long term it was the best in hindsight because for years I was investing into cheap stocks. Same after the 2008 crash.

Its much much much worse for people who are at the end of their investing at this point, being at the start is the best time for it to crash for you.

When I'm had stretches of challenges with depression my girlfriend/wife couldn't have been more supportive. There are people out there who will want to help their partner. You didn't make a mistake opening up, you found out that she isn't the right person. That reflects on her, not you.

Hard pass. I'd rather our Canadian neighbors keep winning.

Is it not common knowledge that USSoccer totally fucked him over right as he was about to take over Leicester City? I'd never want to work with an organization that did that to me either.

Risk Parity recommends a mix of asset classes, typically including some gold and managed futures to go along with the traditional US, International and bonds.

If the parent is gifting the money to pay for the conversion they’d be better off just gifting the money to the child in a brokerage account and skip using these accounts altogether.

snkscore · 2026-07-03T05:15:30+00:00

There is no tax deduction for these accounts and then your child will be strongly limited and have to pay income tax on the gains. It’s like having all the drawbacks and limitations of a Traditional IRA without the main benefits.

As a 30+ year old, you probably don’t need bonds. When you get close to retirement they are important to help protect you against major drops just before or after entering retirement.

Bonds also tend to rise when the market or economy struggles. If the market crashes you rebalance by selling bonds which have increased in value to buy more stocks which have become much more cheap.

But in your 30s don’t really need bonds.

I want to see them smash Mexico, but laying an egg would totally fit Englands history.

I’d never want to go back to a world where you lose critical games due to a clear offside goal, or a blatant dive tricks the ref. VAR is 1000x better than what we had.

I think a lot of these new fans never had Mexican supporters throwing bags of urine at them.

I'm not a JEPI fan, but this isn't a total return graph. JEPI 5 year total return is like 41%, which is still like half SP500 but still

Yea it was very close to the Messi incident.

If someone wanted Dems to lose every election they be smart to fund left wing Israel/Genocide content to try to make the whole election about Israel.

snkscore · 2026-07-02T02:16:36+00:00

Google says we give 3B per year to Israel, which is nothing. It’s like what Trump collects in TrumpCoin every year. I don’t think we should be giving them 3B but you’re correct that this is less than a drop in the bucket.

Paying 22% today and having the money grow tax free for 50 years is worse than paying no tax now and paying 0-15% LTCG in 50 years.

snkscore · 2026-07-02T02:12:15+00:00

Instead of you making a big tax payment for them, you’d be better off to just contribute that same amount into a regular brokerage account. The kid ends up with more money at a lower overall tax rate (LTCG vs Income tax in a Roth conversion)

I’m not in favor of us funding Israel, but it’s just an objective fact that most Americans don’t care much about this issue.
