Interesting

Yeah the script was awful in ep2 and parts of ep3. I think the trilogy should have been centered around obiwan given he was the consistent actor in all 3 episodes

We're in a bubble, I just don't think there will be a big crash considering the low delinquencies and interest rates. There may be more of a stagnation over the coming years as geared companies with lower interest cover and delayed capex spend struggle to increase their earnings post-pandemic. I won't be divesting but I am looking into investing in watches as my equivalent of a store of value purchase like gold or bitcoin.

Jaeger or patek philippe my friend?

George Lucas is one of the worst directors ever no lie. His dialogue writing is very poor as well.
It does not help that one of his biggest reported weakness as a director is a rapport with actors. The prequels suffered so much by having him do everything and not delegating some of his weaknesses.

JLC is a great brand but I'm not clued up on models that appreciate in value other than limited editions which are really hard to get

Pateks are notoriously hard to acquire at retail. You've got to have years of purchase history, a personal relationship with the AD and $40k+ to spare in cash

Going to build up a purchase history with an AD on a few models mainly in the $2-4k range that will hold their value then move onto Rolex and limited editions eventually

what happens when you love a man so much for his qualities and enhancing the entire reality to the n'th degree and he turns out to be the Crucified Second Coming the Saviour or Man who placed our sins on the alter of forgiveness i'm still so lost here and now

where does the pain go?
if it goes away
what the hell netherworld could hold that quantity of hurt
doesn't seem feasible or reasonable

I really get irked when I see stuff like this. It's not the sentiment that bothers me but the people who it comes from. People and companies who literally have nothing to lose from increased climate change regulations. That's great Tim, we know Apple wouldn't be adversely impacted at all so it's easy for you to get on your high horse. How about you maybe speak up on things like the labor force participation rate going down due to technology eroding jobs? How about the top 50 tech companies use a few % of their earnings as the basis for UBI? Oh, that's right that would actually negatively impact your company so you chose to white knight for popular social causes that don't hit your pocket. Stunning and brave.

Agree with this. Yang bro

Labour force participation rates are very high, the idea that technology and automation results in widespread unemployment is not an evidence based opinion. The internet has caused irreversible damage to brick and mortar retail jobs but created many more jobs since: https://www.mckinsey.com/featured-insights/employment-and-growth/technology-jobs-and-the-future-of-work#section%202

Yang offers a solution (UBI) to a doomsday scenario that doesn't have a basis in reality. There should instead be schemes designed to retrain workers in disrupted industries.

e/ there is also data on participation rates here: https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/employment/labour-force-participation-rate/indicator/english_8a801325-en#:~:text=The%20labour%20force%20participation%20rates,percentage%20of%20each%20age%20group.
