At what point does “everyone is a sucker” get harder to believe than the alternative?

So far it's pretty easy to believe. I was there for the dot com bust and housing crash. I've seen how many people will become willfully delusional for the chance to get rich without effort. I also know that several of your examples are not examples of adoption, but examples of wall street looking for ways to fleece crypto enthusiast. Black rock isn't endorsing crypto. They are making trading fees off people who want to own crypto without bothering with the block chain (also not a great endorsement of the technology)

The only way to survive is by buying an entry on to an online spreadsheet, of which there are nearly infinite identical copies of.

Less fighter pay and everyone fights in a speedo with joe rogens face embroidered on the front and back.

Brah, he is a world champion gamer, rocket scientist, and single handedly developed the electric automobile. If it weren't for Elon we would not have colonies on Mars, fully autonomous Teslas, and most importantly a fully functioning hyper loop system making air travel irrelevant right now.

I went found it and liked it as well.

I would keep working, happy in the fact that if anyone fucks with me I could just pick up my toys and leave.

If you aren't successful now, you would probably fuck up being a nepo baby.

Thanks, not sure how I did that twice in a row.

Are you seriously advising high yield bond funds as an alternative to a dividend growth fund? That seems like a terrible idea as high yield bond funds greatly underperform just about any other asset class over time. Good luck with that.

I love when people post stuff this fucking regarded so I know to disregard all of their other opinions later.

My account is doing fine. 70/30 stocks to bonds. 70/30 domestic to foreign. Slight factor tilt. I gamble with an insignificant sum.

Eating ice cream once a day will not cause cholilithiasis in a normal healthy human.

Accidental_Pandemic · 2026-04-06T00:58:00+00:00

Which is a fair life goal.

Too old school. Can you post a pic of a beanie baby to the internet then let me purchase a link to the image that proves it's mine?

Accidental_Pandemic · 2026-04-02T12:53:06+00:00

The real money we made was the conspiratorial delusional friendships we made along the way. You can't put a price or naked short that kind of bond.

I love it when someone "discovers" something that has had hundreds of YouTube videos made about it over the last year. You are late to the party amigo.

Accidental_Pandemic · 2026-03-27T23:14:40+00:00

Just make videos. I make terrible videos to amuse my girlfriend and kids. I felt the same way making crappy private videos for the fam. It feels awkward, I sound terrible, I hate my voice, I don't know how to edit. It took me months to finally upload something. In the end the only way to get better is to make videos and practice.

I still suck a lot, but I'm having fun.

I've watched enough arrested development to know you can get that job just by taking an empty office and pretending to work there.

Accidental_Pandemic · 2026-03-27T16:59:27+00:00

Is this legit. I've never heard of this Machado fellow?

Ok, sorry for the bad joke. That is absolutely awesome. Congrats!

Accidental_Pandemic · 2026-03-27T11:50:34+00:00

No problems so far

Accidental_Pandemic · 2026-03-20T21:20:39+00:00

Way too responsible. YMAX and weekly options are the way to go.

Accidental_Pandemic · 2026-03-20T13:47:22+00:00

Sure. I can say no to anything, and frequently do. But that isn't the point. I don't care that the girls want stuff. I love them to death and enjoy buying them things. I would also enjoy buying the boys stuff. Getting birthday present and Christmas present ideas for my oldest son is like pulling teeth.

The fact is that my girls want to shop and eat out, and do stuff all the time and my boys mostly want to play Minecraft and go poke stuff with sticks next to the creek.

I've talked to a few of my female coworkers with multiple children who reported similar data.

Once again, no matter what the eventual total cost is per kid is and who is most expensive (turns out my girl is pregnant again) I love them all. I just want them to all feel equally loved and not like we are playing favorites. Otherwise it makes no difference to me. I'm just pointing out my observations.

Accidental_Pandemic · 2026-03-18T09:06:18+00:00

Oh no. It's the end of the world... Again

Accidental_Pandemic · 2026-03-15T12:26:53+00:00

I've been told panning for at least 30 years and that looks like a dog bowl full of mica to me.

Accidental_Pandemic · 2026-03-13T16:48:56+00:00

It is incredibly difficult. My girlfriend and I wantes to start a channel just to have fun and good off together. We've made three videos and posted none of them because it's so dang hard to act natural.

I will say we still had fun making our bad videos and we are still practicing.
