Stripes is not a movie that holds up well. And Murray's character is such an obnoxious dbag. - Jovian May 27, 10:57 3
- Stringly disagree about Murray. The story itself is run of the mill "snobs v slobs" -- nm - senor dentista May 27, 11:06
- so, he is Bill Murray in every movie then? -- nm - groiny May 27, 10:59
- disagreed -- nm - Spawn May 27, 10:59

uh-oh....Enty is posting pictures of Amber from Saturday night after Johnny beat her allegedly... -- (link) - Remlik May 27, 10:24 50
- Amber Heard Files Domestic Violence Restraining Order Against Johnny Depp -- (link) - GregW May 27, 10:49 4
  - It looks like he hit her with a hot iron. Of all celebs, I'd have put Depp near the bottom of the likely violent list. -- nm - Max May 27, 11:01 2
    - also, forensics! Depp is left handed? -- nm - Max May 27, 11:03 1
      - Could have been backhanded. -- nm - Spawn May 27, 11:09
  - Wow. -- nm - Spawn May 27, 10:59
- She's crazy enough to fake it. -- nm - ML May 27, 10:37 32
  - The fact there's no police report doesn't help her case. On top of no history. -- nm - budice May 27, 10:57 1
    - As we know, much like sexual assault, these cases don't always get reported, nor do they always result in police action. - Will Hunting May 27, 11:49
  - That's the problem. My stance on violence against women is well known, but I can't discount her track record of psycho. - David May 27, 10:45 27
    - if he did it - why would he then want to deny her spousal support and atty fees - the timing does seem odd -- nm - Epiphany May 27, 10:46 26
      - Classic misdirection. -- nm - Spawn May 27, 11:14
      - As we all know only those 2 people know what happened in their marriage -- nm - Diva May 27, 11:00 1
        
        And with her supposed history of being wacko and his supposed history of being a drunk and druggie, this could literally be anything. - Diva May 27, 11:03
      - Who knows what happened behind closed doors? I keep going back to the Mel Gibson thing because... - David May 27, 10:50 18
        
        I'm not really wild about the characterization of being "seduced away". It implies a certain lack of culpability. These are grown men who made - pmb May 27, 11:30 4
        
        this. No one puts guns to these guys heads. Poonanies and boobies perhaps, but not guns. -- nm - Diva May 27, 11:49 1
        
        is that poonanie loaded? -- nm - groiny May 27, 11:51
        
        but....the all powerful vagina!!!!!! - groiny May 27, 11:41
        
        I actually agree completely. -- nm - David May 27, 11:31
        
        I see your point -- nm - Epiphany May 27, 11:01
        
        who seduced gibson away? -- nm - unbreakable mandy jones May 27, 11:00 11
        
        Oksana Grigorieva, who also had a child with Timothy Dalton. You can google the tragedy if so inclined. -- nm - David May 27, 11:06 10
        
        I'm not sure the timelines quite add up - Gibson and his wife separated after the sugartits incident, and I don't think Gibson and Gregorieva got - Roger More May 27, 11:12
        
        oh riggggghhhhhht. nice recall. -- nm - unbreakable mandy jones May 27, 11:09 8
        
        she's like maybe a 5 on a good day. If you are gonna wreck your career, make it at least an 8 -- nm - groiny May 27, 11:12 7
        
        where is Amber on this scale? - Epiphany May 27, 11:17 6
        
        Yup. -- nm - David May 27, 11:24
        
        looks wise, she is a good solid 8.5 -- nm - groiny May 27, 11:18 4
        
        *blink* This may be the craziest thing you have ever posted. - Spawn May 27, 11:24 2
        
        just on a google image search, she goes from a 7 to 10 depending on the pic. -- nm - groiny May 27, 11:28

      - that could have been from anything. - groiny May 27, 10:48 3
        
        I hate to be the skeptic on this topic, but I don't get how that's a 'graphic photo' at all. -- nm - Shaun May 27, 10:50 2
        
        At this point, any photo that shows a women with bodily harm from 'allegedly' her significant other, is a pretty shocking thing imo. - Will Hunting May 27, 11:45
        
        I have looked worse after my dog jumped on my head while in bed. -- nm - groiny May 27, 10:53
  - yeah, I would have assumed he would have been travelling pimping Alice 2 and out of town -- nm - Beaker May 27, 10:37 1
    - it would have been the day After his mother died... -- nm* - Beaker May 27, 10:38
- *sails off into the sunset* -- nm - PIRT5 May 27, 10:33 1
  - good point -- nm - Max May 27, 11:02
- Hasn't she been photographed any since last Saturday and today? -- nm - David May 27, 10:33 2
  - i don't think so - every picture i've seen is an old one of them together. -- nm - Andie May 27, 10:33 1
    - Even if she were, that could be covered by makeup. -- nm - Ender May 27, 10:37
- gettin' paid (and hopefully he bleeds through the nose; assuming legit) -- nm* - Beaker May 27, 10:29
- i don't really put a ton of stock in Enty. Not saying I 100% am discounting this, but i would need another source. -- nm - Andie May 27, 10:27 3
  - EW just ran it via people.... -- (link*) - Remlik May 27, 10:29 2
    - (but that could have been fed to them via her people. All about the money train now) -- nm - Beaker May 27, 10:43
    - ah. -- nm - Andie May 27, 10:30
- yikes -- nm - Epiphany May 27, 10:25
- Huh. I was wrong. His week could get worse. -- nm - Will Hunting May 27, 10:25
Thank you Reddit for telling me about this. Sean Connery: Awesome. -- (link) - Mop May 27, 10:11 1

Big recall on sippy cups in the US and Canada (due to mould) -- (link) - Beaker May 27, 10:01 7
- WTF is mould? -- nm - Spawn May 27, 11:00 1
  - Canadian mold - its much more polite about making you sick -- nm - Epiphany May 27, 11:02
- Anyone who's had to deal with sippy cups knows all the nooks and crannies they have. - Mop May 27, 10:08 1
  - Starsan that shit. -- nm - Reagen May 27, 10:10
- We have a few of these. Good to know. -- nm - Shaun May 27, 10:07

- Not enough? -- nm - senor dentista May 27, 10:02

Can ST confirm my understand: The benefit of a Roth IRA is that I pay the tax now but everything else in that account will be tax free? Traditional - James Bond (aka Igor) May 27, 09:52 23
- I so much prefer our RRSPs and RESPs over all the shit you guys seem to have to navigate -- nm - Beaker May 27, 10:17 6
  - we also have TFSA. I am not sure ours is that much easier. -- nm - Andie May 27, 10:21 5
    - TFSA isn't that complicated, really - Reagen May 27, 10:33 1
      - oh, i know, but i just think if we were here saying 'tax now / tax later. TFSA / RSP/ vs Pension, and CPP vs OAS, ' etc,. it would sound just as - Andie May 27, 11:18
    - they seem to all have rules upon rules -- nm - Beaker May 27, 10:24 2
      - Mostly to prevent them from being used as tax shelters -- nm - senor dentista May 27, 10:28 1
        
        which is essentially what RRSPs are. Put money away now, pay tax when you atek it out. easy peasy -- nm - Beaker May 27, 10:43
- Broadly speaking, yes. - znufrii May 27, 10:00 2
  - The money transferring will count as income and can push me into a higher tax bracket? - James Bond (aka Igor) May 27, 10:02 1
    - Yup, it gets added to your agi when you convert it to a Roth -- (edited) - znufrii May 27, 10:07
- My advisor said do both. Withdraw Roth IRA when you still have substantial income, then traditional IRA money later. -- nm - mara May 27, 10:00 1
  - That makes sense -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 27, 10:01
- yes that is correct. you can also pull out all contributions tax free at any time. -- nm - iSpam May 27, 09:56 6
  - Going off this. Can I use the Roth money to pay the tax? So you pretty much I can pull my initial amount of tranfer out of the Roth to pay the tax? - James Bond (aka Igor) May 27, 09:59 3
    - Doesn't work like that, I'm afraid -- (edited) - znufrii May 27, 10:05 2
      - Oh.. hmm -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 27, 10:08 1
        
        You don't have to do it all at once, afaik -- nm - senor dentista May 27, 10:12
  - There are also income limits depending how much he anticipates making in the future -- (link) - senor dentista May 27, 09:59 1
    - yes, at some point I will go above that so I won't be able to contribute to a roth (currently that is nowhere near an issue) - James Bond (aka Igor) May 27, 10:00
- Probably not worth it for this amount of money but you also have to factor in inflation. Money today is more valuable than it will be when you retire - senor dentista May 27, 09:55 3
  - On the other hand you have to factor in investment growth over that time frame as well. - znufrii May 27, 10:16 2
    - which is assuming the tax laws state static for the next 30-40 years until he retires -- nm - decline May 27, 10:38 1
      - well, sure. - znufrii May 27, 11:06
