re: Jordan Hawkins cut by Memphis

That's fricking dumb. Had games against dallas way better than anything Lewis ever did.

There was a stretch where Hawkins looked really lethal.

Lewis always sucked

re: Would you buy used clothes?

Is this a serious question? I rarely buy anything that isn't used. Cars, clothes, etc.

I've shared this story before but in the early 2000s I won some Hornets courtside seats and for whatever reason I couldn't go to the game.

There was a Ronald McDonald House on Canal St. in Mid City right down the road from my office.

I just walked over on my lunch break and donated them.

A week or so later, I got a letter in the mail with a thank you letter and a photo of an awkward looking little girl and her mom posed with Hugo Hornet.

The girl was Gypsy Rose...I still have it somewhere in my closet I think.
I remember that Stephen Adams video a few years ago where he was draining them lol
Success is trading Murray and Poole. Zion becomes top 15 player. Trey top 40. Fears trending toward top 10 PG. Queen trending toward top 10-12 C.

I lost my arse in them in 2022 and have hated them ever since. I don't see a good story for them. Inflation is still going up. Rates are rising and they aren't even negatively correlated with stocks as much as they used to be so they don't give the same protection.

I've been putting more money in DBMF which has a pretty good negative correlation to equities and can go short when things flip. It's not perfect and definitely not without risk, but I still see it as a better option for now than wasting money in bonds with still considerable risk.

For thr love of god play the screen here
Pressure is about to flip big time.
Chill the frick out. Long game
I feel like none of this is knowable anymore and it's all just wild guesses.

I see people talking about retiring in 10-12 years and I think that's pre-AI planning and ignoring the future.

I really think we're about to get disrupted in a way we never could imagine. I'm not necessarily talking about extinction but I do think white collar work is going to get hammered.

I honestly don't know how to prepare. In the old way, I could retire now, but there are so many unknowns.

I could get laid off in a year. Prices could plummet due to tech gains and maybe we don't need as much to live.

Maybe I'm buying into the hype too much, but I find it really hard to plan with so many variables. Even predicting an average stock market return seems flimsy. Stocks could soar as production goes wild and labor costs drop but this could be a giant bubble and the market loses half its value.

Strange times to be alive.

The Saints did something against the rules. LSU did not. This is not the same at all

No they didn't.
This is very reminiscent of the bullshite bountygate stuff. Gregg Williams didn't do anything every other team was doing at the time but a butthurt commissioner went on a crusade because of a bruised ego.

The ultimate result was bullshite suspensions, crazy penalties and ultimately the No Call NFCG - still one of the most blatant cheating that's ever happened in major sports.

Prepare to lose every close call. And unfortunately, just like that clown Goddell,. I bet Sankey gets an extension.
How many times do you think she repeated “we paid fo these seats?” In rapid fashion. And the. How many times did they repeat “what did we do?” When kicked off the plane.

I really don't see the point of a watch or at least an expensive one that doesn't do anything but tell the same time you can get from anywhere else.
He took over a bottom five roster from a bottom five all time nfl coach. Not bottom five currently but all time.

He’s already turned the team from a joke into an upward trajectory. I’ll give him this season before freaking g out over a preseason game.

re: Retirement Account Goals?

Posted by ghost2most on 8/18/26 at 7:50 am to
Late 40s close to 2 million in retirement accounts. Not nearly enough in taxable right now to fill the gap until I can start withdrawals.

My biggest concern is AI. I’d like to be able to retire in about five years. 50-50 on if I will get there or if AI displaces me.

Also most of net worth is in the market which concerns me.

I’m fairly diversified in stocks but it’s all equities. I’m not good at real estate and don’t really know where else to deploy my investment funds.
