    If most of this is hitting non-US born workers or government jobs then good fucking riddance.

    Path of Exile

    I often wonder about this particular example, Xev, and what it says about games like POE. There are probably 10x the number of players that are your second example as compared to your first. If POE made itself a little more accessible to the second type of player then would they have an even...

    Debt:GDP has to be lowered as the priority going forward. I understand that they want inflation so that they can inflate the debt away over time, but it doesn't work if they just keep borrowing more money at the newly inflated levels.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    This is just me, but if your life is good then don't fuck it up by trying to make this complicated. If there is truly no debt, house, money, or kids then give it to are and don't think about it again. Now, if you have rock solid proof that she owes you something then you have to weigh how much...

    FIL passed away - Financial advice?

    I want to stop and make sure that the two of you remind yourselves that this is a life blessing from her father and a gift that is not wasted no matter which way the two of you choose. Do not take this thing that he worked his whole life to enrich his children past when he would see the results...

    FIL passed away - Financial advice?

    I have a different question than anyone else to pose and that is: What will make your life better now AND in the long run? It sounds like the burden of living bi-weekly is hard on you; is it as hard on your wife as well? Posed a different way: if you could guarantee that the 300k invested...

    Rick and Morty

    I don't know what you are talking about, that was just as garbage as the last episode. I am not watching any more; two of the worst 10 episodes in a row means it is truly gone. What a fucking travesty.

    That was fucking garbage.

    Dating

    I honestly think my situation was the exact opposite; I didn't have any problem getting back out there because I had not had a real connection with a woman in so long. In fact, my first post-nut clarity thought with someone new after 15 years was "I married someone that I didn't realize was...

    Weather

    Can you imagine being a Plains Indian and seeing something like this pre-civilization? This is why there were no atheists.

    Dating

    This is just me (but I think @KDow would agree), but I have not gone on a date with a girl just because I think she looks fun. I text/talk with them enough to make sure our personalities align and I could date this person more than a few weeks/months. I honestly think that is one of the...

    Dating

    After hanging out at a bar for happy hour and staying until 9pm, I had one invite me back to her place. I have no idea how guys like @Nirgon get so down on guys chances with women; the bar most guys set is so fucking low that just acting/treating women decently seems to put you in the top 10%...

    2024-2025 NBA Season - In Bronny We Trust

    Damn, you guys are some salty bitches about SGA and free throws. Always ready to jump on some ESPN narrative to explain why a guy is good. Reggie Miller correctly pointed out that SGA averages less FTAs than he did when he was in the league. Cry more.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    An Oklahoma legend died today. Gary England was the meteorologist responsible for interrupting prime time programming to warn of severe weather activity for my entire life until I moved to Texas; and the week I moved he was the one that reported about the May 19th 2013 tornado that came within...
