  1. I know many on this board love him but he couldn't win against CRUZ! Didn't he not even capture the latino vote. White liberals love him but that isn't a big enough voting block to win.
  2. Traveling for work way more than I like but stumbled upon Vice TV. Good shit. Had a whole series on the 90s culture and entertainment. Would recommend. Maybe it is just nostalgia though.
  3. Beto teasing another election run typifies the dems.
  4. i was given silent treatment after this incident. me over text: i have a work call so cannot pick you up from the airport work call ends early so I walk the dogs she ubers home without issue three days later after refusing to talk to me. her: I guess the dogs were more important than me!
  5. Would love to be told I am wrong as I am not active like I have been since early day of horfans but feels like this forum has slowed down a lot. Have posters aged out or just less need for forums given other social media. Know we are on the 4? generation of this forum given all the migrations but still surprised board isn't more active...
  6. not having obligations late in life can be a curse. i think i need obligations in life.
  7. just another vote for Jeffreys Comedor justines great spots.
  8. Have a work lunch here? Is the person flexing hard or actually a good spot? https://thecoreclub.com/location/new-york
  9. I go at least twice a year. No issues but more questions when I went last time. Lot less foreigners these days.
  10. everyone pulling earning guidance for the full year tells you how much a dumpster fire Q2 will be
  11. Worked with him to sell farm land years ago. Good enough experience. https://www.land.com/member/john-melnar/1681420/
  12. Been saying for months if not year + that sell Google (e.g. Alphabet) as the regulatory action will crush their stock. Seeing FANG be de--fanged even by the Trump admin.
  13. Have the same PoV but my parents were really great growing up so least I can do given I was a complete shit growing up.
  14. This topic makes me rage. I have multiple siblings, but I am the only one who helps my parents. Some of my siblings live within 15 mins of them too. I have taken over their finances and try to get siblings to help, but they never follow through. At some point, my parents decided they just didn't want to deal with taxes, 401k, insurance, etc and let it all lapse. Thankfully, it was maybe a year that nothing was behind but now have been managing their finances for ~5 years. Not fun and frustrating when siblings won't help.
  15. When does it happen? Is it on "accident"? Is it used to allow Trump to suspend the constitution?
  16. I was in NYC this week and had a meeting at Blackstone. Lots of investments are put on hold because of volatility. Funny enough on leaving I almost ran over Stephen Schwarzman coming out the elevator. The Sr. MD had to skip our meeting last minute because they were on the phone with PortCo CEO/CFOs all day/night trying to help game plan tariff mitigation.
  17. 3 days in other SLC mountains + 4 days in jackson hole
  18. i am conflicted. really strong employment numbers today.

    Getting old sucks

    I could only ski for ~2ish hours today then my joints locked up and had to get a mid day nap.
  20. the show is getting less bad but still fucking terrible.
  21. Wife sent me this about myself My response: truth
  22. Heading to Ecuador in June. Basically, I go to a random city alone without anyone else based on when I can get away and a country or city that I never been. Found a cheap 1st class ticket so booked it. Right now flying into Guayaquil and in the country 10 days. Have not booked anything. Last year I went to Lima, Peru and all I did was wonder and eat. It was great. Give me your recommendations.
  23. It then becomes who has the appetite for legal fees and brain damage. Just because it is legal, doesn't mean someone can't waste your time. My GC at current company was a partner in a litigation practice at a major firm. We have a high risk tolerance.
  24. PE may have its own reckoning as public markets won't buy it anymore. PE is only able to sell to other PE funds resulting in lack of cash on cash return for funds. PE is realizing public markets have woken up to the asset stripping strategy and won't be left holding the back. PE is going through VC correction that started a couple of years ago. Expect to see a lot "investors" unemployed because the industry needs to shrink.
