Русский корабль - иди нахуй
The proper from response from our dear leader should have been: "stop complaining, you're at war, you want the alleged attacks on your residence to stop, issue a ceasefire and end the war. You are indiscriminately bombing civilian targets and you expect Kiev to temper itself?"

No WAY is that the Same Actor/Actress
Great catch, Warriors. Some the younger Surlers probably dont know that one. I loved the DJ's narrating the whole throwdown. Classic

Everybody Loves Raymond
"Raybert' is our favorite episode....as I recall, Robert tells Ray about a hot chick he met and tells him that he used his name and she was a huge fan of "his" column. Ray just has to see who this chick is that really likes 'Ray'. He goes to Robert's apt and low and behold she is fire and keeps egging her on about her favorite columns. Great show with several laugh out loud moments. We like/appreciate the long shots and mastery of the dialogue, incredibly well written acted every episode, a true throwback.

Bugonia - Yorgos, Emma Stone, Jesse Plemmons
Not going to lie, I paused the movie and looked up surviving 400V shock treatment. Mixed bag on results but seems like its survivable, however she did seem to 'normal' immediately afterward, so it got me thinking maybe Plemmons was on to something.

Bugonia - Yorgos, Emma Stone, Jesse Plemmons
Watched it last night and enjoyed the ride. Its worth watching, we plunked down the $10 via amex points and id say it was worth it.

Adolescence
Through 2.5 episodes. Despite the difficult subject matter, im enjoying it. Questions im interested to find answers to: Early on in the initial interview he genuinely is adamant he didn't do anything wrong, but 7 mos in and he's still in jail (kid mental ward) and we've seen the video. Did the friend convince him to swap clothes and we find out he doesn't want to snitch? Seems like 7 mos in he would have broken. Did he actually do the deed? He seems way too smart to break bad, it just doesn't square. Will try and finish tonight

Rob Reiner found stabbed
I cut my brother off many years ago after a threat delivered in a phone call. We live in different states, but I refused to take his calls and blocked his # after the last threat. My dad financially supports him and he will inherit a 1/3 of the my parent's estate, with me and by brother as executors. That will a defining moment when he realizes he won't get a lump sum. He has been in and out of jail for various reasons, the most serious being purse snatching. He has slashed my ex-SIL's tires 2x, stole my mom's meds as she lay in hospice in my folks bedroom and overall been a menace since HS. He actually pulled it together to get a degree from UT-D after failing out of Texas. He's bipolar and the heavy drugs only added to the brain rot. He's on disability and bides his time in a small apartment in Bishop Arts, doing God only knows what with his time. He has been able to stay out of jail for several years and seems to be somewhat lucid. He talks to my dad weekly as that is his lifeline. Parents have the hardest time with it. I cut him off years ago from communication. When my dad does finally pass (he's 80), we'll cross that bridge. My gut tells me we will have an attorney be the go-between and we'll put him on a monthly stipend,but i know he's going to constantly be asking for more. He'll want to get a car and that may be his undoing. Following the Reiner murders has really struck close to home and at the risk of sounding callous, has been "comforting?" in my decision to refuse any and all interaction. My kids will ask where is Uncle X, they remember him vaguely as they were young, but now they are all late teens- early 20's and i explain it best i can without sounding like they would be in danger. It's just a risk I cannot subject them or my wife to.

- Financial Goals in 2025
Really nice year in the market. 401(K) +20% depending on these last few days. Most other non-cash investments mirroring the S&P, so overall a good solid year. Im probably a little older than most on here, graduated Texas in '92. Im here to tell you younger guys, just stay the course. Put $50-$100, per week forever, whatever you can muster.... augment with consistent 401(K) contributions and pay yourself first when you get bonuses. As soon as your kid is born, open a 529 and seed with a couple grand. Then put $50 a week, you will never miss it. If you are lucky college will be paid for and with solid market gains, you will be good to go. Live good, but be smart....metaphorically "don't buy the couch" was advice a mentor of mine gave me 35 years ago. He meant it as a way to train me to be frugal but not dumb. Especially if you are married, pick your battles. Take care of your shit, it will last. Buy and hold your car, get it paid off, nix the Rolex, buy nice set of clubs and resist the urge to get a new driver every year. Keep track of your bills on a spreadsheet....handle all the bills and money yourself, don't delegate that shit out...you watch the money. Use Vanguard or some other low cost , low fee provider. I started saving and investing at 25, about 3 years out of Texas before I could start saving, up until that it was hand to mouth and where is the party?! When my generation was young all the books (Millionaire Next Door, 401(K) Millionaire , Dogs of the Dow etc..) all said if you follow a simple strategy of dollar cost averaging and consistently paying yourself first, you will be very happy by 60. Hard to be disciplined at that age when buddies were buying Rolex watches and leasing BMWs etc..but the system works. Just need to start, start now, be consistent and don't waiver. I only pulled out once, right after 9/11, but quickly got back in. Once kids and houses come in to play it gets harder but not impossible. Mrs JDhorn (no pics) and i have done well.... next year will mark 28 years with the same firm, slow and steady wins the race.... hopefully that advice will have an impact.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Shit In One Hand, Hope In the Other, Tell Us Which One Fills Up Faster
