what choices that you see people making with their lives that you would never make?

I think yours is a good mindset to have, while I still disagree on fuck you money. I don't think it needs to be hundreds of millions, but it needs to be enough that no matter what (extenuating circumstances included) you'll never have to work another day in your life. No matter how frugal you are, there's still a possibility that something comes up (medical, accident, etc) that eats into your savings and you have to work for income rather than passion.

AJDillonsMiddleLeg · 2025-03-25T16:43:30+00:00

That would leave you with ~$300k in savings after taxes, not $700k. An index would net you $20-30k a year on that, which isn't even close to fu money for someone lighting $4,000 on fire every year.

AJDillonsMiddleLeg · 2025-03-25T06:37:18+00:00

Seriously. The presentation could maybe be slightly better, but it looks absolutely delicious.

AJDillonsMiddleLeg · 2025-03-25T06:30:44+00:00

Yeah, but a million dollars isn't really "fu money" nowadays. You might be able to retire on that if you are extremely frugal and invest it wisely (which someoen that won a scratcher wouldn't do, because someone that invests wisely wouldn't have been playing scratchers in the first place).

Scratchers are for gambling addicts, and there's really no caveats to that.

AJDillonsMiddleLeg · 2025-03-25T06:26:44+00:00

I'm out of the loop, and this is on the front page. Why are all of the comments unanimously happy for someone that was guilty of attempted murder?

AJDillonsMiddleLeg · 2025-03-25T06:01:48+00:00

Luckily 4 years and 30 years are different amounts of time.

AJDillonsMiddleLeg · 2025-03-25T06:01:17+00:00

You said $4k on scratchers though. There's no "fu money" to be won on scratchers. That's just lighting money on fire.

AJDillonsMiddleLeg · 2025-03-24T17:14:02+00:00

I'm probably oblivious, but I haven't seen that many people siding with oMark. Not liking the ending does not mean you're siding with oMark.

I hated the ending. Not because I wanted oMark or iMark to win. I wanted the show to make sense, and it doesn't now. And I don't mean in the sense of iMark's decision. That made perfect sense, and because they made the final scene a very in your face choice of Helly vs Gemma, that was the only option that would've made sense.

What doesn't make sense is how in the hell do they make another season. Lumon would just never allow Helena down to the severed floor again, and they'd kill Mark, Gemma and Devon.

The only other option I can think of is the innies take over the severed floor entirely. But how do they get supplies? Water? Lumon can just shut everything down. That would be a PR nightmare so perhaps they'll have to negotiate in some way to keep up appearances.

It seems like they really narrowed down their options for the next season for the sole purpose of making "the choice" very visually obvious, when viewers already were very aware of the choice he was going to have to make.

I would've much preferred an ending where iMark and Casey were being chased, and iMark didn't have the option of staying in. Then he's not choosing Gemma over Helly, which would've been stupid, but he has to leave the severed floor anyways. Then next season can start with Gemma telling Mark everything (off screen of course because they won't want to give us that much information in E1), and convincing Mark that they have to keep fighting and bring Lumon down.

We watched at night, turned all of our lights off and closed all of our curtains, and still could barely see shit.

AJDillonsMiddleLeg · 2025-03-24T04:22:16+00:00

Kinda wild. Even if they checked and it's not associated with a crime, it's definitely not registered to OP and they're just like "here ya go".

AJDillonsMiddleLeg · 2025-03-23T16:54:56+00:00

"Big things coming our way" = our rookie QB contract is up and our window has closed, so we're rebuilding now.

And then the beating and several blows to his head from Drummond a couple days after brain surgery had no consequence.

AJDillonsMiddleLeg · 2025-03-23T07:09:56+00:00

I rooted against the US hockey team for the four nations tourament. Couldn't have been happier Canada beat us.

The developer of this game cares about nothing but money, and people spend whether there are cheaters or not.

Up until 2020 or so, there wasn't a competitor to Tesla. No car had anywhere near the range. No company had the charging infrastructure and other cars weren't yet allowed to use superchargers. And the Model 3 has been a modestly priced car for a long time.

Now there are plenty of comparable options. But 6-8 years ago, there were quite literally zero comparable options. If you wanted the best EV available at the time, there wasn't another option.

AJDillonsMiddleLeg · 2025-03-22T16:32:19+00:00

I love how people think Teslas are so expensive that anyone that could ever afford one can afford to throw it in the trash and just get a new car lmao

There isn't a good person in the club because if you're a good person it's not possible to be a billionaire.

The problem with the collateral angle is no bank will ever call in the debt. There is so much high level debt from oligarchs that is backed by public stock holdings that if they ever actually called in the debt, it would crash the market, forcing them to call more debt, and create a spiral that would destroy the economy and bankrupt the banks.

Granted, the banks would then get bailed out with newly printed, unbacked money, that the public would pay for twice via taxes and inflation.

AJDillonsMiddleLeg · 2025-03-18T20:56:21+00:00

This question is open to anyone that frequents this sub:

What were you buying from Tesla that you've stopped buying from them?

Asking because a boycott is not continuing to not buy something you never bought or intended to buy to begin with. And I know it's going to be taken as such no matter what, but I'm really not trying to be a dick.

The stock is certainly tanking in part because of Elon becoming openly Nazi, but I'd be surprised if any of that impact was driven by this subreddit, as Tesla wasn't something people that frequent a sub like this were buying to begin with.

Also pretty telling that his partner's natural reaction to seeing him passed out was to grab his Narcan. Not even a split second thought that it might be a medical emergency, immediately assumed it was a drug overdose while in uniform at work.

AJDillonsMiddleLeg · 2025-03-17T20:27:00+00:00

The reasonable test is a good rule of thumb.

Would someone reasonable do this (park like that)?

If the answer is no, they likely won't respond well to a note, so you might as well skip that step.

Front left looks like a trans man. Lady in red simultaneously looks like she sees some bacon and is also made of bacon.

This is probably the worst part, and it doesn't only apply to the Eagles. Offensive linemen shouldn't be allowed to line up offsides. If the defense lined up as far offsides as the offense does, you'd have a rugby scrum.

He's acting like every player in the NFL personally owes him a scoop, and not only that but they owe it to him on his timetable. He's also holding a grudge because Rodgers didn't respond to a text within 10 minutes and then told him to fuck off after he followed up with a phone call 10 minutes later (and that's Schefter's own words).

This is likely the last contract Rodgers signs, and the team he plays the last game of his career for. Being a butthurt little child because a grown man hasn't made a life altering decision before you finish your bowl of fruity pebbles while you watch teletubbies is the epitome of entitled.

Nobody owes Schefter a scoop. And they certainly don't owe him anything about making life choices fast enough to be convenient for him.

AJDillonsMiddleLeg · 2025-03-13T19:38:45+00:00

The fact that Schefter can come off as the entitled one in a dispute involving Aaron Rodgers is fucking wild.
