  1. I’m a degenerate and find Reddit a little too much. I can live without that place.
  2. You are definitely the asshole. But you also made the right call.
  3. Ok back after a well earned break from the internet for a week plus. Finished in exactly 2:30, which was the goal. Best part was my knees weren’t killing me. I will do it again next year, but hopefully at around 230 instead of 245 lbs. still too heavy…
  4. Exactly, someone asked what transactional means. I answered, but thanks for your thoughts on Tim Walz. Truly a dizzying intellect.
  5. Good question. For me it’s less general charitable giving, because fuck everyone else. It is going to be a lot less mentoring to staff because it’s not my problem anymore. Finally, I’m going to approach my retirement with a burn all bridges as necessary approach. I have tried to be a good steward of value but I don’t see the fucking point anymore and will just pull the pin when I feel like it and leave them hanging. That’s what I mean by transactional.
  6. The exit polls don’t lie. Men making under 100k elected Trump. It was all economic pain and immigration. Democrats suck at messaging. Democracy out front is not the issue. Abortion is a niche issue and identity politics really only works for certain races. Trump would have won in 2020 but for the Rona. I am going to sit in my corner with my tax cuts coming and count my blessings. We’re going to see some shit I think, so I’m going to make sure my kids are ok and their future secured. I am going to be a lot more transactional about things and I am definitely retiring sooner than I thought because I do think there will be a housing bubble coming with low interest rates being pushed hard. Inflation is going to come hard in about two to three years after we start QE in February again.
  7. Just to be clear, I voted all blue down the line. I just understand that my opinion is the minority. By a lot. The choice we have is to work with it or give up and leave. I think I’m just going to ride it out in my quiet corner of the country. I’m going to get everything set up for a quick exit just in case though.
  8. Yeah this was a legitimate red wave. I am sure everyone will learn the right lessons from it, too.
  9. Oh dang he gone. I still like seeing Dumas posts because it’s a good way to cope with Leon being our new technology czar. X is going to be buying truth social shortly or vice verse.
  10. Agree 100 percent. It was also a pocket book election. People feel poorer than they were. It doesn’t really matter why, they blame the person in charge. I don’t think it’s any more complicated than that.
  11. The world is about to change in a lot of ways. I would not assume moving overseas is a great idea and I have dual citizenship and the means to move. Things are going to get very unstable. China is going to make its move. That will force India, Japan, and even Russia to make theirs.
  12. The media ironically may be early to the leopard face eating party.
  13. Wow. I kind of had a feeling it was headed this way but it looks like the house went red too. Buckle up buckaroo because its about to get dark in January.
  14. Honestly fuck Ukraine at this point. We’re into triage in the USA. I am very curious to see all the trickle down effects of this election. I don’t think anyone has thought this through completely.
  15. Nah brah. You’re going to learn from wypipo.
  16. It doesn’t fit his world view. Science out front doesn’t matter.
  17. It’s over. My guess is nothing much changes at home except a bunch of bullshit with immigrants. But overseas, Ukraine is cooked, and Israel finished the job with Palestinians and Lebanon. I realized tonight that I’ve really misunderstood what the USA is all about. It’s not a good force in the world. It’s just a force. Very disillusioned right now.
  18. I guess I’m slowly coming around to my schadenfreude side. I’m going to watch all these people getting their faces eaten by the leopards and laugh at it. I’ll feel a little bad. But not too bad.
  19. I guess the fear of Transgender is the real issue facing our country given the ads. Furk
  20. Hmm. Glad my kids have dual citizenship. We may be looking to relocate eventually. Ironically as a white man in the top 5 percent I should be secure, but I am getting very uncomfortable sm with the direction we’re headed.
  21. This. We’ve shown that the US is basically horrible.
