  1. Im not a bb fan but one of the kids from my hometown got a ring. So Im happy for him.
  2. I unfortunately still haven't had a chance to watch it :'( I want to watch it with two of my friends who are also fans of Deadwood, and it's been hard to make the schedules line up. All good. I will refrain from saying anything then. I feel like cobf could use spoiler tags (>!Spoilers go here!<) that black out text the reveal it on click. I feel like its pretty easy css to implement.
  3. Why dont we see more of this on like reddit or something given that at any moment theres 15k+ aircraft in the air at a given time? Most Im willing to venture have cell phone cameras in them. Cloaking Devices?

  5. Hey, everything someone mentions on here is worth a look up at least. I might not like it but there's the chance that it could be something I missed.
  6. Cinemax's Mike Judge Presents: Tales From the Tour Bus is pretty good. I dont listen to all the artists but its pretty funny some of the stuff thats happened. Mature rated. List of episodes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Judge_Presents:_Tales_from_the_Tour_Bus#Episodes
  7. The opening line is goat:
  8. bot a small (speculative bio) position in ziop over the last month or so. not necessarily today but i haven't shared it because the "investing" community of which we are all apart of can be kinda judgmental from time to time and lets face it is a speculative bio these things generally dont work.
  9. He still bag holding that Sears stock?
  10. It makes sense that if you have to pay off your $70K student loans you'll have less money for a down payment and will then have to delay home ownership. Tuition was nowhere near this high 20 years ago. Smooth, I would also add that boomers are responsible for this insane increase in health care over the last 15years.
  11. I Came of Age During the 2008 Financial Crisis. I’m Still Angry About It. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/15/opinion/sunday/financial-crisis-student-loans-recession.html
  12. Here's the podcast I got it from. Unedited version is what I went straight to. The Mind Is a Difference-Seeking Machine. On Being w/ Krista Tippett. https://onbeing.org/programs/mahzarin-banaji-the-mind-is-a-difference-seeking-machine-aug2018/ For me the difficulty was wondering if I was fast enough. For the one I did, andI only did one so far, I already knew was bias and was honest with myself that I had that bias towards a particular side and it was interesting. Even before I took the test ive recognized that bias though my own interactions with a modern day app. In fact, I've been open about it with friends and even strangers. I plan on doing more later.
  13. Heres a cool little website to test your implicit biases. I was listening to a podcast and it forwarded me to this site. Blurb about Project Implicit. https://www.projectimplicit.net/index.html The test(s) website: https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html Ive only taken one so far but have found it interesting. Enjoy.
  14. The private replies have been great. Really appreciate those that reached out.
  15. Thanks, rb. Appreciate the suggestions.
  16. Lc, it leaves me wanting more...its like im missing some sort of piece of the puzzle. like a giant gaping hole. i dont know maybe its just me. like i understand its a hard kinda trauma because these guys are coerced into doing it. they dont want to but they throw a gun in your face and march you off to some foreign land when your young and dumb but its not like a car accident where it just happens....people emotionally force them to do this. it been over 15 years since I asked that q. like part of me just wants him to level with me as a father-son but the other part of me knows he was 18 when it happened...im older in my life than he was when he whent over and now he mid 60s. and thats part of the problem with me is that theres nothing real(or perhaps too real...probably that)...it was just a year..we dont talk about it. Its hard for me because its like this giant "thing" that happened. like i will never be there. i will never experience it. i dont say i wish i experienced it...the documentary has been kinda nice in a way since i get to hear about it from others....at least other guys/gals go back and visit that they reconcile it...what a mess. I dont know. thats shy im reaching out. perhaps thats not even wanted. I appreciate your words. Edit: I also want to say that my default position is not to talk about it but it is something that relates to me in a tertiary kind of way and i do believe I have some grounds to stand on when I to talk about it......probably not though....i never earned it. Edit2: The other thing that makes it difficult for me is I never went into service so I feel like I have no ground to stand on in this subject matter...("feel" is a shitty word....I completely understand, 100%, that i have no ground to stand upon) sorry I would just add that. I not mad about it I just know that Im not in a position to "demand" things here.
  17. This is a personal question. Serious replies only. No garbage politics. My father is a Vietnam vet. Came home with 2 Purple Hearts (Edit: plus others) years b4 I was born. When I was young I distinctly remember asking him "did you kill anyone"? I dont remember how old I was but it was the first time I remember registering in my brain that he was a Vet and what that meant. Should I ask that again? I dont know what to do. I wish I had a straight answer, and im pretty sure I know the answer. We dont talk about it. Anyone have anything. Any Ideas? I want a straight answer out of him but Im afraid of bringing all that up. I want to know. I want to know about it but am afraid of asking. My wishes are not all that concern me though and want to....for lack of better words.....lessen the impact on my father. He's been through enough. Although, my curiosity has me and I want to know about these things. Edit: I would also add that in our family talking about Vietnam is semi like what they talk about in the Ken Burns documentary.....ie its like talking about an alcoholic or something. We really dont discuss it. I dont push him b/c its....well its war....is legalized murder. I just wondering b/c hes like 60 and not dead yet but you know not exactly a spring chicken. He was US Army, drafted. Honorably discharged. Vietnam 68-71ish, not exactly sure...we dont talk about it. It was late though for sure. Ive seen the medals. Veteran (or legitimate personal experience with v's) replies would be best imo keep it away from the riff raff that has no personal experience in this. DMs are preferred and am very ok with personal email addresses as this is a boku private thing. I just dont know what to do but want to know but am ok with just letting it be. Edit2:I would also add that he's been an incredible father and has never laid a had on my mother and a wonderful human being. I will never be as good as he is as a human being hes just stern when I try to pick at this a bit and I just want to try and underand. Multitudes more humble than I am. Zero violence in my growing up. This is something Ive struggled with in MY relationship with him and am just looking for a new approach. And Im getting to the point that theres nothing and I should just stop. I care for him so I just want wats best for him.
  18. This is something to think about as you progress through your life but you have a digital footprint that is very real and doesnt take much talent other than putting a few keywords in a google search. I'm not going to get all preachy and ive made my share of mistakes through life but it is something you should consider and think about. I do from time to time. The internet wont go away. The information stored on it wont go away. Videos/Comments/Tweets/Whatever. For instance people are watching every tweet Elon Musk makes and recording them in a time line. Tweets are being used in court cases...SMS text messages are being used in court cases as evidence. These types of things. Your messages and internet traffic may be being routed through god knows what. Apps are saving messages hidden on your phones.....these things are real. And this isnt just about politics or the latest outrage. You can literally view old Michael Burry posts from 2000 and before. Theyre not even that hard to find. http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=578997 http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=1216693 http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=12689567 These are just examples and the same goes for me. Just some thoughts.

  20. I bought the Giza pyramids back in 1998 & here's me & my agent getting ready to go to the closing. He was much better as a sales agent than he is as a property manager. I still haven't received any rent checks & think I've got squatters. BTW, nice mullet, huh? A+ mullet. Or should I say rad mullet, man.
  21. It's always fun when a non-millionaire mocks a group of millionaires on how patient they are being for a thesis to play out. Wow. Hey man. You tilted? Lol, I’ve made money on trading this. Lol. Tilted? Not even close. Glad to hear you've made money trading it, but my comment was based on my pet peeve of those with less success at something (whether it's investing, athletic ability, personal finance, etc.) mocking the very traits that have made those more successful than them, well, more successful. lol. Ohh. Ok. Thats what set you off this morning.
