Links to Patron or Substack? I met a sexy ass Dolphin at Froggies in POC (to keep it Forum relevant) over a few slabs of ladyfish and a Millers Light - it was a magical encounter that needs re-telling for the right price.

It should have given him enough of a boost for the next few months, but now the shooting is overshadowed by a hillbilly Yale grad fucking a couch while reading dolphin porn.

It’s frightening how fast shit is moving with online activism and engagement.  A week ago no one knew who Walz was and Joe Biden was still running for a second term. I love the enthusiasm and all but after a week of a few media spots, the online consensus is to make this little known Governor from Minnesota one heartbeat away from the presidency.  

Maybe it’s a fever because things were looking so dark 180 hours ago, maybe it’s for the best, maybe it’s democracy…

He's an older white male with a fully functioning brain and little risk of dementia.  Sold upgrade if True.  Bonus he has empathy and doesn't hate our country.

Could you imagine Walz on Pat McAfee? It would be the first time I watch that show ever.

I’d watch if there is a way to only mute McAfee.

Was that Dolphin chain-smoking, leather-skinned, and wearing white shrimpers boots? Cuz I think I met that same “dolphin” there.

How much 401k money never gets claimed?

Surprisingly, not much as a percentage.  People tend to take their money when they quit or retire.   Most provider's do a pretty good job of ensuring there are beneficiaries on the accounts in case someone dies. 

And yes, there are still shit ton of boomers that want an actual paper quarterly statement.

Exactly. MAGAs are largely financing boats and 5th wheels at 9% APR and then bitching about the cost of groceries.

Saying that 46% of American households own stock is the glass half-full version of the story.

Here is the other version:

  • The wealthiest 10% of Americans own 93% of the stock
  • The bottom 50% held just 1% of the stock.

That's not a recipe for people earning the median income thinking that their gains in the market are offsetting the price of purchased goods, cost of college, etc....

to be fair, it's not easy to understand. I remember being very pissed when I realized that if I just saved money the "straightforward" way, in a savings account, I would actually be losing over my lifetime. It feels like I'm being forced to play a game I really don't want to. A full 1/4 to 1/3 of my free time now is spent on becoming financially literate.

The way social media was pushing for Beshear for VP, it’s now double that for Walz

I posted social media is going to will Andy Beshear the VP slot and if I could find that post, I’d change it to Walz. He’s liked by pretty much everyone. 

He’s one of those Down home, folksy, can talk to those in Philly or Scranton, Dallas or Dalhart type candidates


I’ve never been a “stan” for a politician in my life. I’m 💯 a Tim Walz-stan.

This seems excessive (for the average American) when avoiding high interest debt and buying VOO in tax advantaged accounts will get you 80% of the way there. Good on you for doing the work though

401ks are overwhelmingly set and forget accounts that 99%of people can’t even tell you their stock ticker for. The expectation for people to be able to explain it is something that “individual freedom, liberty, and responsibility” all cover.

Telling Dems to quit cheerleading the stock market is absolutely stupid and is a handicap that supporters put on their own selves when Republicans would never think about it.

2 years ago, this sentence might as well could have been Spanish to me. If you've lived this life and speak this lingo, you take for granted how simple that setup seems, when it's not. You're taking for granted, at minimum, an understanding of stocks vs bonds, let's not talk of index vs active funds, mutual funds vs ETFs, the tax liabilities of brokerage account vs a retirement/advantaged account... before something like "VOO in tax advantaged accounts" reads as easy as it types.

8 days ago, all anybody could talk about was Trump being shot and how this was going to win him the election.

Since that time, we've had the Harris news and a never-trumpet VP candidate that fucks couches and reads or writes dolphin porn or some shit, and people have moved on from the shooting.

If things are moving that fast, we are liable to end this week with Dwayne Johnson being the potential VP for Harris, and Trump having ditched Vance and bringing in Silk from Diamond & Silk as his VP pick.  or Tucker.

Yes, they absolutely do.  Many of these people get all their information from right wing radio and Fox News exclusively and their social groups are made up of people that do the exact same, and these are the “normal” boomer aunt type republicans. 

Then you have the red pilled terminally only douchebags like Elon… followed by incels, Qanon freaks, and 4chan neonazis.  

Reality waved bye-bye to these folks long ago.

This is what is so crazy to me. These two groups have almost zero overlap and yet comprise the main two groups that make up the R base. The Fox News boomers have no clue about the deeper insidious shit like Project 2025 because Fox doesn’t tell them about it, but the terminally online sector is WELL aware of it and most of them champion it.

Curious to know if you looked up which one died, you just happened to remember, or if you took a guess. 

60k for the white dudes for Kamala tomorrow. The women more than doubled that. That is why we need women in leadership. They actually do shit.
