Fuck 2020!!! Thankful for a new year :toast

also, miss the days when TIME weren't so radically alt-left and were regular news, tbh.

Sad that that edition was made when the twin towers still existed, ftr.

What y'all be having to drink on NYE? I think I'll stick with my annual tradition of colorado bulldog (kahlua and coke with milk) and a bunch of Martinelli/Welch's ciders

My prediction is that things will be more chaotic than 2020.

Hard to match short of a nuke and/or WWIII tbh. Unless Trump tries to make a David Koresh Waco-like last stand in the White House. Civil War II. That would be entertainment!

I just can't imagine we're anywhere close to realizing the fallout from COVID. Even if we get it under control, the amount of businesses closed and jobs lost surely can't be fixed with $2000 checks. Seems like there is the potential for hundreds of thousands not being able to make rent or house payment at some point.

To me that presents an opportunity. See, I'm sitting on a lot of cash with not much to do with it, since housing prices temporarily remain high, inventory low, landlording isn't great right now because of COVID anti-eviction laws and lower demand to rent because people living in their families' homes, etc.

But all of that will come to a head soon. Soon, very soon. By late summer we should see a bunch of mortgage foreclosures due to pandemic losses which will in turn lead to a dramatic increase in inventory and ergo a (temporary) but sure decrease in house/real estate prices that should last 6-12 months or so. To cap things off, interest rates have nowhere to go but up. For me that's my big break/opportunity that I need. Not only to buy a long-term manor for myself but also to start my real business in landlording.

I declare this the millennial messiah spam thread for the rest of 2020, and jan 1st... and whoever wants to join me xD

Pass that Red Pill

The goal and strategy is public. Pick your family and location accordingly. Sorry for bro that rooted in the 90s.

What excuse do you have. Learn to code and create your life.

Opportunity. America is created on this. One problem equals solution(s), creates problem(s) etc. This is my lasting lesson learned living in America. And vastly different viewpoints :lol

Or be like me, pretend to be good at coding and learn to read code and, more importantly, learn to google what you don't know about coding when a coding issue arises on the job. Learn to type fast and google the answers to questions you're asked in video/phone interviews; taking advantage of COVID-19 to do interviews and work remotely instead of in person.

Sneaky little button sniffer. You have hustler mindset and that could be utilized

problem is... it involves patience and waiting. i have >400k (mid six figures) sitting in the bank, but there's no way to earn interest on that right now, and nothing really to invest in at the moment that presents a good deal, since the foreclosure bubble hasn't hit due to covid-19 temporary relief laws (the stimulus money is actually quite futile and can't save mortgagees forever).

Stock market has nowhere to go but down, especially with the Biden inauguration looming... and interest rates have nowhere to go but up, literally. I'll make my big money, but right now it's still the waning months of the waiting game, where the best strategy is to make as much W2 money as you can in the face of the p(l)andemic and wait for the big crash.

Absolutely. Maybe I'll buy a 4 acre lot in michigan where weed is fully legal and grow there without having to relocate to michigan because I know a girl (30 yr old, intellectual but hot as fuck, kind of a hippy but more libertarian, big time stoner, not my wife, fucked her a few times) who is fantastic at growing and distributing weed. Legally.

So I can be a michigander in the business sense context while not having to fully relocate to michigan. But I still hate Texas outside of the state income taxes just because the weather is gaaaaaaaah hot. Fuck 73 degree hot 'n' sultry nights in winter. Bleh.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Gonna have thunderstorms instead of snow today. Between Christmas and NYE. Fuck. Texas.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Feels like a mothafuckin' sauna out there. :depressed Basically an early-June esque weather pattern in Texas, the day before NYE. Will cool down tonight though after the storm.

'Twas the night before New Years
And all through the house

The A.C. was running
Because I live in the South!

:(

Happy New Year's Eve!!!!!

Time to huddle together and say a big FUCK YOU to social distancing and masks!!

:huddle:

[velik_m]

Happy new year from the far future of 2021. I regret to inform you 2021 is more or less the same as 2020 so far.

Will be for the first 3-4 months or so, sadly

Less than 90 minutes from now on the east coast, 142 minutes for the most of us.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Watching the NYC ball drop and the SA New Years celebration without concerts and people huddled together like sardines will be a once in a lifetime sight to see.

Been 6 years since JibJab did one of these. I don't know why they had the 5 year hiatus, especially considering 2016 and such years were also absolutely fascinating, but at least they're finally back:
