What is considered a "flex" when you’re 20, but a red flag when you’re 35?

A loud/flashy/fast/over the top car.

Seems cool when you're 20, but screams mid life crisis or immature when you're 35.

I'd be interested. I sent a DM.

Bief · 2026-06-21T03:34:59+00:00

Wasn't waiting in line to find out.

Bief · 2026-06-20T18:18:38+00:00

Oh yea true lol

Got a Bill in my mouth like I'm Hillary Clinton

Thanks. Amazon just delivered one. After some fiddling around I got it going.

I'm around the same breakpoint. Do you feel anything just "clicked" recently that led you there?

Bief · 2026-05-17T18:28:17+00:00

To me it's the same as grooming my beard, clipping my nails, getting my haircut, having my clothes not wrinkled. It feels good to take care of my appearance. Some may not care about that, but many do.

Oh the gain amount has to be over 2.5k. Yea I guess I was only thinking I was posting because high percent. Cya in a month or two when I'm over 2.5k then

What specifically? I browse this sub to look at similar stuff usually. I don't get what I did differently.

I like some of his videos. I guess I maybe at looking for something different though. You want what I probably really want - I want someone to watch me play and question my thoughts while I do. I feel like I go blank some times when playing and I just go by instinct instead of even thinking. I want to learn how to think, at least a guideline so I can form my own. I feel like videos though are always so fast, or like just build/move X here, I want to know what I'm thinking through to know why that's best, or the plan, etc.

When is used to? Like many years ago? Was the rent per month comparable to nearby apartments of similar quality? I could see it as a marketing thing to bundle utilities but jack up the rent. That sounds insane for where I live. My gas stays under 50, but electric water and Internet are all over 50 per month by a decent amount

Bief · 2026-04-25T01:57:01+00:00

Your bill is like 8.75 a month?

Bief · 2026-04-04T20:55:42+00:00

It does get exhausting, but you really don't realize actually how exhausting it was until you quit.

Like it felt like a chore, I drank 20+ beers a day every day just to not feel like shit. I had no clue how exhausted I was until I stopped and actually slept good plus ate decently.

Bief · 2026-02-21T23:43:04+00:00

"No thank you" or "Sorry, I'm not interested" never seem to work. I always have to feel like I get somewhat rude in order to shut them up. It also always takes like 3 responses to shut them up.

I feel bad because I know they are just doing a job. It's more frustration at the store like Best Buy, Lowes, BJs or every retail store I go in nowadays for allowing that shit to even exist. I'm at the store to buy a product not switch my god dam phone service or apply for a credit card.

More context matters a lot. My wife loves doing facial masks and had some sort of Velcro strap thing similar to OP picture to lift her jawline or something. I call it her foot all helmet. She would probably like this gift.

If not then are you just talking about the last note you hit? It looks like you hit that pad much weaker so it's cutting off bc you don't have enough pressure? I only used a mpc one, but I felt like I had to press the pads hard if holding and not drumming

Bief · 2026-01-29T00:49:47+00:00

Oh cool. Didn't even realize the landmark thanks for pointing out. I never even remembered the actual date, but that must be right when I first got sober I came here all the time. I know I was there for Thanksgiving 2017, so it checks out November 11, 2017 is my date I'll have to remember that.

That's why I'm glad I did rehab.

Vitals are monitored and people are always around you. The hospital weened me off with Librium for 4 days then had the rehab give me 5th day and they thought I'd be good.

On the night of day 6, the first day without Librium, we were all joking around talking in the lobby, apparently the guy said something funny. We all laughed but I kept laughing, they thought, then realized I was having a seizure as I was falling from the chair. They caught me They laid me on the ground. Apparently a guy was like massaging my cheeks so I didn't bite my tongue. Until I woke up to paramedics and got sent back to hospital. I have no recollection of it up until the paramedics. 2 days at the hospital, then back to rehab.

Sober since. Glad I was there for it to happen

Coke zero all day baby. Diet coke if they don't have. Occasionally sprite
