There are four POC main characters…

I speicfied the original three. I know Asimov wrote sequels and prequels later on, but I’m referring to the stories from the ‘40s because those are the primary sources for the show.

This was inevitable, and it doesn’t bother me one bit (unless the show absolutely sucks).

Tagline: If you though Dune was unfilmable, get a load of this!

By your definition, there are no ethical places to smartly invest, since any worthwhile investment will necessitate making a profit at the expense of others.

I’m trying to figure out which crashes you mean and how you could possibly be a millennial.

Oh is there peace in the Middle East? I had no idea!

Based on how Dershowitz himself described the encounter, I think it’s more accurate to say Dershowitz accosted David. Because apparently what happened was Dershowitz saw David in the store and said hello to him, and David ignored him and walked away, and Dershowitz followed him with the “We can still talk” bullshit.…

Wouldn’t it be the other way around since millennials have more time to recover? Or is it that boomers can go into buy mode at a correction?

I think you’d find that a very large group of those who “took that big risk” actually had no choice, as there was no vaccine available when they were infected. That was the case for me. My wife and I are now fully vaccinated even though her fears about the vaccine delayed her for a while. Not fears that it wouldn’t…

That 80.7% of the population has been vaccinated doesn’t mean that only 13% of the population “acquired their antibodies naturally”; there is nothing preventing the set of people who are fully vaccinated and the set of people who have recovered from a SARS-CoV-2 infection from overlapping. It is possible, albeit…

Fuck you Kinja. So if someone replies to your post but they are in the greys, it seems like there is literally NO way to view or reply to that comment? I know the notification links have BEEN broken, but I get a notification that a greyed commenter replied to me, I can read half their comment in my notifications, but…

I cannot get wealthy friends to check unit pricing or indeed try to wrap their heads around it.

The people Dollar stores pray on often don’t have the choice to make smart decisions. You can walk down the street to Dollar Store and buy some overpriced stuff or you can spend time and money (when you may have neither) to take a bus across town to the grocery store (and the Dollar stores opening in your poor…

I don’t equate it low income with low intelligence, but the fact is that most people of all walks of life are bad at budgeting, simple math, and price psychology. It just so happens that low income people who never figure it out end up suffering for it, and people more solidly middle class or above generally don’t…

I love interjecting myself into conversations about stocks and bonds to tell people that all my money is tied up in pet food. I mean, I have four cats and two dogs all on prescription diets. It’s really not a joke.

They’re not talking about buying in bulk though. They’re talking about selling tiny quantities of something in a speciality pack made just for these stores rather than the standard size sold in Walmart, Target, grocery stores, and drug stores. There’s a difference in losing out on money because you’re not buying an…

Not sure what that has to do with dollar stores. That happens anywhere that sells action figures or collectibles. 

That doesn’t sound like a DG problem. Sounds like an asshole problem. And like dollar stores, they’re everywhere.

I like to have most, if not all, of a new roof or HVAC system in savings. The biggest expense you’ll have as a homeowner.
