gop did kill the mandate which effectively wipes out obamacare, so there's definitely an increased cost since now we are supporting the high risk pool without anything to offset their cost

unless they massively increase subsidies

Settle down lol. Practically every blue chip in the market left that performance in the dust.


technically if he's including the price action over the last two trading days he did okay relative to the blue chip index. dow 1 year performance at present is exactly 21.4%

odds are his adviser just tossed him in a total stock market index and upcharged him for not letting him fuck it up (which, honestly, isn't the worst thing)

the recent price action made anything i did 2 months ago return zero and anything i did more recently than that get spanked

i'm glad to have some money on the sidelines to enjoy the 2-month old entry point again

How did you know your wife was the right one?

Great question I'd like to hear the answer to as well.

Mostly because I think true love is a lie.


in my opinion it is mostly a lie.

the basis of a functional marriage in my experience rests on mutual respect much more so than love. respect allows my wife and i to forgive one another when we have a heated argument and say something mean to one another.

it was when she and i were having some of our worst fights that I began to notice how strong our relationship really was.

IIRC Tolkien treated LotR as one giant story, and it's split into three books more for convenience than anything. That's why the first two films don't have strong conclusions - you don't conclude a story at the 1/3 and 2/3 points.


i agree with you and i think you are correct about the causes/drivers of the films' somewhat abrupt endings

to their credit they don't waste a ton of time getting started again either

but it means i will never sit down and say "Man, I want to watch fellowship today. JUST fellowship."

it will eventually fuck you.

i held out of this rally for ages believing it to be "overbought"

then caved when it seemed it could never be 'overbought'.

and now, it's overbought.

thankfully, i caved a bit earlier than its current position, but if it corrects significantly, it'll be a while before i see gains. ofc, i could sell now. and then it could turn around and rally back to the highs. wouldn't that be grand?

I think it's mostly because of the "comedians/voice actors get together and make a podcast/show out of their DnD sessions" fad getting bigger

a bit Stranger Things though


it's because of neither of those things

prior to any of that 5e sales topped that of every other edition ever

the latest edition was designed to be MUCH easier for new players to get into and became less of an inane math game that's all about the combat, and much more of a roleplaying game that rests on multiple pillars, with exploration/social interaction as important as smiting evil (or good).

5e uses bounded accuracy with very, very few attack/damage modifiers and a concentration system that prevents casters from stacking 50 buffs/debuffs, so the game is simple and straightforward, and for the first time ever the linear warrior, quadratic wizard concept was broken.

as a result, people who'd never have wanted to play 3.5 or 4e are interested in 5e, buying the sourcebooks and playing the game.

people got into it, THEN media got into it.

Here's a fair question about the Dem rebuttal: If we are to assume that Nunes memo is in fact intentionally biased to make false claims, why are we assuming that by default a dem rebuttal would be factual and accurate? If you can't accept the possible truth of one, there's no point in claiming value in the other.

Even better, there's a chance that the Nunes memo isn't biased because it wasn't designed for public distribution, but the rebuttal is explicitly designed for public consumption, so the odds of the rebuttal being unbiased should, in theory, be by default less likely.


we can't, but the idea in theory would be that between the two, all relevant facts should be presented to the reader, allowing them to form a coherent understanding of the whole situation

and i think GE will present a decent potential return over time relative to those indexes. AAPL has underperformed FAANG of late, so i'm either going to get a minor burn and a net underpeform, or a well-timed bump.
