Tinfoil Hat Wearers Unite

[Taco Loco]

I need to figure out how the last quarter was worse for me financially than the quarter after 9/11 or in 08* when the bubble burst. Holy cow did my 401k's just take a bath the last quarter. Basically wiped away all the money I made the past 10 years prior. Would of made more investing in Delaware license plates. They were good for 10% increase over 20 years and I think that was 5% over average SP500 returns over the same timeline. There goes another few years tacked on before I can retire. Think I need to stop opening up my statements. Makes me wonder how bad it's really going to get. Might just start digging holes and burying gold

Lost Sheep, you need someone like a professional to look at what your doing, if they try to sell you something, that is not a professional financial adviser.

From the 2008 crash and the lowest point of the stock market in the past 10yrs, was near the beginning in the year of 2009 and since then up to 2018 the market is up 135%. Historically S&P over 90yrs has 9% + rate...

Look at post#19 and ask yourself which one you are.

Lost Sheep, Build Thread.

You mean like a fiduciary? I do not have one I keep on retainer, but I have paid for their help in the past when I was setting up my retirement accounts many moons ago.

I don't really fit into any of those terms by themselves or should I say I fit into multiple terms.

Funny ~ For as long as that thread was around I thought it was a legit build thread until I read the OP today ~ I would of posted in there more had I known what it really was.

Boy, that one on triggering- ain’t that the truth!

I do not like how they call it "triggered" as if it is an uncontrolled response or action. It is not a medical allergy or form of PTSD. They are throwing a temper tantrum. Plain and simple.

Years of programming through an extensive multi-media, multi-channel efforts. The re-writing of history is part of it. I love many of my past teachers and professors but they are co-conspirators with political operatives and many union leaders in my book. As much as I appreciate that mass communications can be a powerful and useful tool, I think they have way too much time on their hands and are motivated by power over substance.

I appreciate your honesty. Most would say it's the same, and lie.

I do not dislike God nor any particular religion ~ My issues are what people do to others "in his name". I would say dislike them all equally.




I try not to think my beliefs are superior to others regardless of what they believe in. Key word is try. Most people think "their way" is best and that's just human nature.

That said if I was behind closed doors I'd think some of them were coo coo for cocoa puffs and wasting their time with their prayer circle, but either way I'd be appreciative. In the end if it helps you and you need it to be a better person I think you should stick with it.

I'm not offended by believers or stories.

But you never answered my question... would you be offended?

And anyway, the challenge that you and many have is something that is actually addressed in the works of the religion. And don't get me wrong, I am not a big bible guy or bible scholar but I do know that the imaginary guy in the sky as many call Him, will forgive any sin other than doing bad things 'in the name of God." (That's actually the meaning of "Not using the Lord's name in vain.") People do it all the time I realize but that is not, IMO the real meaning of what Christianity is. It is more about loving all to the best you can - that gets lost in most places. I know most don't care, I just figured I would let you know that the thing that pisses you off the most is something that pissed Him off too!

...waiting for my ban notice!

EDIT: I was listening to this YouTube this morning and that is what drove me to make this post. And no, God didn't make me do it!

Texas Secretary of State David Whitley said a year-long evaluation found about 95,000 people described as “non-U.S. citizens” who are registered to vote in Texas. About 58,000 of them voted in Texas elections between 1996 and 2018, Whitley said.

As for the illegal election voting; I bet that number is a lot higher. Then they need to dig into the dead people voting and add those two numbers together to see the real impact of voter fraud. Since so many elections are being decided by less than 10,000 votes in key areas this is a much bigger deal than people realize. I had someone yesterday say "what is the big deal if 50k votes out of a couple million are illegal." Apathy is the root problem.

If you owe, you file near deadline.

Not everyone has simple returns, but I imagine most wait till last minute, the last few of my tax documents showed up last week.
