Am I the only one who notice the 2016 dates on all of this?

So happy this fierce lady got nominated. 

Or Scorsese winning for the departed of all things

This reminds me of the distressing amount of women who, whether they were joking or not, tweeted “daaaaamn i’d let him hit me all day” or something to that effect after he performed at the grammy’s in 2012. 

If there’s only a limited amount of sympathy you have to give to rape and battery victims then at least shut the entire fuck up about it and don’t spread that bullshit around. Keep your trash feelings to yourself then 

IT’S STILL NOT HER FAULT

I’m pretty delighted to see Richard E. Grant and Melissa McCarthy nominated for Can You Ever Forgive Me?. I very much enjoyed them in that, and wasn’t sure that movie was going to go very far in the awards circuit.

I know you mean well, but this comes across a little victim blaming. She’s 24 and French, she might not have known about his past behaviour. Rapists and abusers also do a great job of justifying their crimes:“She hit me first” “It was consensual, she’s just lying.” Every single one of us knows a man who’s abused…

You would be surprised. There’s still this weird, fucked up contingent of women who defend him. It’s not quite to the degree of R Kelly’s cult like following, but they leap to the defense of this asshole quite vehemently.

Celebitchy reports that the reason Brown was in France was for Paris Fashion Week and was invited to sit front row at several menswear shows. So. Can we maybe have this site consider naming names of who the fuck is still inviting this dude to their fashion shows???

Yeah and the hard part with Polanski has already been handled, considering he was convicted. 

Financial discipline is just not a thing, it seems. Some dude here went nuts when I insinuated my wife and I do well with what money we make, but that I was happy about driving a GTI that I got WELL under sticker. Shouldn’t I be driving a Porsche, or at least an Audi? And I’m just like, how the hell do you think we…

I completely agree! I’m a big fan of passive index funds myself, once you factor in trading and management fees they generally beat everything over a 10 year period.

I’m being honest. Making money in the market right now requires a lot of trading, and so trading fees are really cutting into gains. You can’t just have a passive index fund and expect 12% in 2019.

Nothing I have makes less than that currently.

Actually the last 6 months, most of my accounts have gone up. You’re playing the doomsday card, and that’s fine, worry.... market doesn’t need to go up to make money.

You’re arguing to argue. Want to be defeatist/pessimistic. Have a good day, I got no time for pessimism.

Yeah, but you’re talking the reality of the situation where the original question was debating/asking about a possibility. The op of this thread was asking about why the question was asked in the first place.

None of this line of thought has to do with the general reality of the current state of loan rates.

As for your…

It allows you to move your money easier. I took a 5yr loan(1.75%) on my truck, which I thought was too long. I paid it off much sooner, but it afforded me the option of paying the minimum balance and moving that additional $250 elsewhere

They take a 72 month loan but payoff in 36 because they are moving the money around to maximize its usefullness. If they can get a loan at 2% but are earning 5%+ from other means, they are net 3% positive.... can pay back the loan at their convenience while they offset that positive gain, combined with the lack of…

Flexibility. A lower minimum payment increases your flexibility when applying for other loans, say mortgages. Plus with no penalty for early payoff you give yourself some room to breathe when all hell breaks loose. Rule of thumb should be longest term you can get at the lowest rate, pay it off on your schedule, not…

To be fair, the writer says he intends to pay it off in 36 months. I don’t understand the logic of getting a longer loan if you’re just going to pay it off in half the time. The only thing I can think of is that the dealer might be offering better incentives for longer terms, but that’s about it. I suppose he might be…
