I know several very smart people in the AI industry who say we have about 2 more years. Give or take.

If you're negotiating deals with adversarial polities the last thing you want to do is announce your tactics. If I were Trump I would be playing my cards extremely close to my chest. It's going to mean short terms pain and sacrifice (he's acknowledged as much), with the long term goal of...

You guys are still operating under the assumption that he gives a shit about what the stock market does. He has stated several times he does not. A bull market isn't the objective here.

Agreed, but I don't think you'll be here in the year 2100 to find out, unless you're way younger than the average age on this board.

Jesus man, how old are you? 15?

You're absolutely correct on this. My only thought was it's possible nobody "chooses" it, and that it ends up kind of inadvertently being the only option because no one can agree on an alternative. But yeah, gold certainly seems like the winner. That said, I don't know if gold would...

Assuming the new reserve currency is attached to a country.

Oof glad I trimmed yesterday

Sure, he acknowledged as much. One of the reasons I trimmed to get dry powder. We'll be back here in a week or two.

Didn't trim too much! I'm not overly bearish long term, really. But I think we all have to admit things are really volatile, so it makes sense we could see another big dip in the near future. Took some profit on PLTR which I have at a $30 cost basis and I got rid of all my AAPL. I've...

Just trimmed a bunch of stuff so I have ammo for the next drop.

Any idea who's dumping? The things I'm reading seem split between China/Japan/Hedge Funds

30 of them, I'm sure

It's been a bit but he always pops into this thread so I'm sure he can copy/paste it. Probably time for a refresher anway- considering recent events

@Flobee already has a good post on this.

Ive got my movie timing down to a science. I leave home exactly when the movie is listed to start, drive to the theater, walk inside, stand in line for popcorn, and by the the time I find my seat and sit down, the movie is just starting. Hasn't failed yet. I absolutely refuse to sit through...

Looks cheesy as hell, but let's be honest, the whole series starting with S1 has been kind of silly. It has still managed to be a fun watch though, mainly because the show doesn't take itself seriously at all. I'll watch. 🤷‍♂️

SCOTUS just struck down Chevron. Wow. Big crypto implications. Edit:

Sigh. Matt Gaetz isn't some pro government agent trying to help the feds steal your bitcoin. He's just pandering to the crypto lobby and doing a shitty job of it.

I don't really get the gimmick. I guess he's just appealing to the crypto lobby, which has actually become pretty potent lately. If you read the comments to that tweet though, it's pretty clear most of the crypto people aren't impressed and the anti-crypto people are disgusted. Doesn't seem to...

Kind of funny hearing how many people were blown away. I've been sitting here for 25 years assuming everyone had the same "meh" experience that I did when it came to the initial look/feel of EQ. Now I'm going to have to go back and talk to my friends to see if maybe I'm misremembering and they...

Ya, June or July 99. I missed the first few months. Definitely wasn't blown away. None of the small group of RL friends I played with were. But like I said it was my first mmo. I was coming from single player games that all looked and played as good (in some cases better) than EQ. If you'd...

For sure, but the trauma was part of the fun. Victory only tasted so sweet because failure was so fucking awful.

The size/scope of the game was pretty damn impressive, I'll grant you that. And being in a game world at the same time as thousands of other people was totally new to me (I never played UO) and awesome. But what I meant was the visuals/gameplay. Compared to other games I was playing in 1999...

TBH I don't know anyone personally who was immediately blown away on logging into EQ for the first time. The game's fun kind of crept up on you if you were patient enough to give it a chance. EQ didn't really get good until you got good- which I liked. If M&M can capture that feeling I'm sure...

For those who have played it- this game fun to play? Too early to tell? Does it feel like EQ? Early impressions?

Movie had a bit of an identity crisis. Seemed like it didn't know if it wanted to be a comedy, a drama, a romance, or a think piece about the psychology of identity. Unlike a lot of genre-bending movies, instead of blending the genres together, this movie somehow kept them separate and just...

Don't disagree. Others in this thread would disagree, but I personally don't think it will ever be a currency (as such). So far, it's been a super lucrative but volatile investment and people are beginning to realize that it's one of the best stores of value in the world. Most people would...

I agree it's still mostly a speculative investment, but 1 USD has been less valuable than 1 BTC since 2011. Even if you want to use a different formula than a simple 1:1 comparison, there isn't any question that the buying power of the dollar has dropped drastically in that time and the buying...

Lots of stuff, I'm sure. Depression, anxiety, obesity, loneliness. Birth rates are down pretty much globally. I've read some pretty good theories that 2007 was the beginning of the end for this iteration of civilization. We've been in a steady decline since. It's a funny chart, but you...

Anyone playing this? Is it playable? Fun? Someone give me a fair but critical review

Looks really cool, but I know I'd hate it. I used to love city build/rts combat games but I've grown really bored with super tedious mechanics when it comes to the building/management of territories. I don't mind making big, sweeping decisions about the direction/development of my faction, but...

The 80s were absolutely filled with movies where anyone in the industry with talent in other decades would have skimmed through the script, laughed and said "I'm not attaching my name to this garbage." But for some reason that didn't happen in the 80s, and as a result we got a ton of amazing...
