Watched the movie Abominable with my kids (cute movie overall) and I noticed that one scene had the map of China showing them owning the South China Sea. ....

What are some easy to make, low stress holiday meals for a school holiday staff party? I was "volunteered" by our principal to set it up this year (🙄). I'm making decorated sugar cookies but kind of drawing a blank when it comes to savory dishes. Bonus points if you have any adult holiday themed games or fun drinks to suggest! It's off school property and there will be a bar (thank god), for context.

Damn, Wolfgang is cleaning up.

Do you have a movie you could watch over and over again? I have a lot, but lately it’s Ready Player One and The Martian. Easily seen both 10+ times.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

How many drinks do you have in the average week? I’m at around 20-25.

Had some interviews with Deloitte this week in FDD was supposed to have 2 more next week but they changed scheduling and said 1 of the partners was busy and the other just wants to do a phone interview rather than video now. Am I being paranoid or is this actually a bad sign

Looking to switch firms and a Deloitte S&O recruiter randomly reached out to me on LinkedIn. Says he wants to have an informal chat. Any tips or advice? It'd be awesome to land this position.

Who was at the ADCC? Thoughts on the NABs stunt?

If I invest in Eth today, would it be smart? Or should I wait till it cools down?

Advice & resources? My spouse and I are starting to make good money (ages 28 & 31, $105k & $70k) with $10k in savings (we were hit hard financially this year) and 2 car payments.

We live in a cheap apartment ($1.3k) that is sh*tty. Don’t quite have a down payment (especially not in ATX). Is it dumb to rent a house for a year at $3k/month while we save up again?

We both didn’t come from $ and are figuring out how to not be idiots 🙃 tbh we would prefer to rent forever but that feels dumb???

American has a promo listed on their app - use Rocketmiles to book a hotel and earn X000 American points. Has anyone here used it? If I book a Marriott properly, can I apply my Marriott retroactively?

I’m in discussions to become the GC of a mid size but international company that does ~$1 billion in annual revenue. Smallish legal department. They’ve asked for my comp expectations. I don’t have specific expectations but I want to be compensated at least market for a NYC based GC (which looks like cash comp of at least $300k plus bonus, etc). Any suggestions on how people would respond?

“Most Electable” candidate Joe Biden finishes near the bottom in NH after finishing fourth in IA. I guess we just have to wait for his SC comeback, right guys?

But her emails

Which states will be too close to call?

Hi all - just joined the bowl and planning on voting this Nov for first time. Not a Trump fan but not trying be biased as well. Can both sides explain to me the reason why people should keep trump for another year vs a new president? Thanks

‘You won’t be safe in Biden’s America’ -says a man who is the president whilst these events are occurring.
How is trump making the case that 1)the president has something to do with local incidents and that 2)Biden is somehow responsible and he, the president, is not responsible?

How does this bowl feel about tomorrow?

It's funny how Democrats are getting absolutely rocked in this election but still want to make jokes. Must be in that numb phase

Been getting some interesting ads in Georgia. Got a letter about how Jon Ossoff is going to destroy Georgia’s economy and attacking him and his character. This was generated by David Perdue.

Ossoffs response? Bring up all the ridiculousness Perdue has done and how he’s left Georgia in a worse position. Didn’t say Ossoffs name once, just said get rid of Perdue.

Republicans go low, democrats play smart.

Trump for past several weeks: Mail in voting is fraud. Fraud fraud fraud. Massive bigly fraud.

Trump aides: Sir you are losing in Florida, a key battleground state.

Trump today: Mail in voting is perfectly safe and secure and I recommend it, in Florida.

So it’s now inarguable that Trump tied Ukraine aid to a public investigation of the Bidens. Republicans, is your position that this just isn’t an impeachable offense?

Another day, another bunch of radicalized white nationalists trying to convince themselves their terrorist insurrection is the same thing as black people wanting police to murder them less

Why do conservatives care about the Tara Reade allegations against Biden when they didn’t care about the ones against Kavanaugh and elected “grab em by the pussy” Trump? I thought sexual assault was a good thing in their circles. I am so confused.
