Oh, you are in for a treat with hundreds of beavers, enjoy!

But basically agree, good comedies are depressingly rare.

Have you seen Waiting for Guffman and/or American Movie? Criminally unknown (in my opinion) pair of early mockumentaries.

Ha, I have no idea why it would blow up but the company is from my city, Vancouver. It is legitimately one of the most popular brands here in that I’d guess 3/4 women own at least one set of lululemon pants?

Caught up with Severance which was fantastic.

How about old comedies? Top.Secret was new to me and is now timely with Val Kilmer’s death.

Or, modern old Timey influenced, Hundreds of Beavers.

DAKKA DAKKA

Seriously?!? What funds was he holding? Almost all of them exploded during Biden’s term! Fox News is a hell of a drug.

Edit: Honestly, in large part, I think you’re right. And I’m usually the one playing the “well actuaaaaally card” so I ought to respect it more. I think you make good points about where people are at in their investment lifecycle. That being said, like a lot of things, I think it’s going to be harder for the younger folks. (I’m an elder, practically geriatric millenial.)

In part, yes, it’s an exaggeration as it is a meme.

That being said, losing a year’s worth of stock gains hurts.

That being said, I wouldn’t trust the advice to buy low. You’re banking on trump reversing course and other nations not ratcheting things up.

Really depends on what stocks you grab. Looks like at least Tesla may be in long term trouble (brand reputation is hard to recover) with competitors beating them on most fronts.

American defence contractors look to lose as Europe and other former purchasers will likely head to local firms instead so as to remove a strategic vulnerability.

And of course, most of the money that is moving through the markets are a few savvy financial players who have already priced in the odds and benefits of a return to normal.

Long term, stocks should come back but whether they do so faster relative to other stock markets or assets? Hard to say. American tech has been long seen as overvalued and wildly out of line with earnings, who knows if absurd valuations are really going to come back?

And of course, all of this ignores things like China taking Taiwan etc which could cripple global growth.

Prescient picture, in retrospect.

I am so curious as to how this will go over on lemmy.

I’m kind of stunned by some of the responses. People seem to have no goddamn clue. (Internet, what did I expect?)

I think mine would’ve been fine if I did it when she was younger but then she was down with her scratch pads, scratch post and the front yard adventures.

Now, she’s an elderly kitty who almost tolerates the medical changes (seizure meds twice a day, asthma inhaler and trimming) but is grumpy about it.

She’s almost 20 years, arthiritic and on anti seizure meds. She has multiple scratch posts and pads but doesn’t or can’t use them enough anymore (even with catnip inducement.)

As a result, without trimming, she gets her claws stuck and has yanked one out quite painfully.

This is how I can best help her as she ages, as recommended by our vet. (And, while she doesn’t love it she sort of tolerates it, just occasionally tries to leap from medicine couch to the treats and skip the whole trimming part.)

Minus the hurt!

Gotta love that clean bill of health!

Sounds like a groovy time for both of you! A six lane road though?!? Are those common where you are? I can think of a handful that aren’t a highway in my city.

It’s been great thanks! Putting the (hopefully) finishing touches on a massive chunk of code for a work project. Also switched to Deezer (part of dropping all my American stuff) and found they have all the weird little folk punk my last few streaming services didn’t have.

May go swim some laps with a buddy tonight which is always a good preface to make the night’s beers feel earned. And then taking it easy cleaning and cooking tomorrow as my rec league soccer team finds ourselves in the Finals and Lord knows we’ve wanted these champion shirts for awhile. Strongest team I’ve ever played with, but it’s terrifying as I’m a decade older than most and not as good with the footwork but I’m still fast and play a mean/hard centre D role which is nerve wracking but fun as hell.

I love a good jerk chicken:

Honestly, I’ve had a lot of success recently using LLMs for suggestions like this plus whatever I have in my fridge. Came up with a tasty siracha maple and maple mustard pair when I saw a deal on shitty bulk maple syrup.

They’ve really let me take advantage of deals and sales etc.

Man, Ukraine needs to stop goading Russia by having so many innocent civilians.

/s just in case I guess?
