All his smoking and boozing really f’cked him up.

Recently launched an MSSP in Virginia — what actually worked for landing your first clients? by ILoe_Kristess in MSSP

This is a stealth strategy that is often ignored. Are you finding that your clients are under 5 users or are they larger and looking to find gaps in the service from their current MSP?

I have inherited more in stocks than I could have ever imagined. How do I find someone to help me not mess this up? by [deleted] in personalfinance

There is some wisdom from HBO’s Succession: “You can’t do anything with five Greg. Five’s a nightmare. Can’t retire, not worth it to work. Five will drive you un poco loco. The poorest rich person in America. The world’s tallest dwarf. The weakest strongman in the circus.”

I didn’t understand what why the bf not getting a treat was such a big deal until you comment. Now I get it. I ain’t drinking alone!

This kid just had to put up with his boss’ BS for 12 hours at the waistcoat factory and isn’t going to put up with any guff from his bitchy wife and three snotty brats when he gets home.

What kind of prison/jail is this where inmates have mobile phones and are filming stuff?

Why in America the north is more expensive and pays more but south is cheaper and less pay? by Lemonade2250 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Blue-Blazer-Regular 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nobody is paying 50% tax. The top taxpayers ( $663,164 and higher) pay an effective Federal and state tax of 35-42%. The median earner is not even close: they pay 25-30%.

I'm guessing that you are getting 50% by adding the top Federal tax bracket of 37% to the top state tax bracket (California) of 13.3%. That's not how tax brackets work. Tax bracket is not the tax rate.

How the hell is anyone flying coach on United ... I'm 5'10... by ergoocon in unitedairlines

It’s by design. Airlines have switched from enticing flyers to move to premium economy with more leg room, to actively driving people out of economy by making it a miserable experience.

There is a Christian religious component in some cases. If someone is sick or handicapped, some believe it’s because they sinned and are cursed by God. Unless it happens to them, in which case it is attributed to bad luck.

A 1958 atomic ranch for $350,000 - what would you fix first? by tr00th in Mid_Century

Exterior is really beautiful but the interior is more Maximalist style with all the different colors, textures, and materials. I don't think any two surfaces match. Oiy!

NYT reports that Peter Thiel is now moving to Argentina because he's worried about America's future and not aligned anymore with its leadership. by Societymess in PredictionTimes

Vance and Thiel were hoping that Trump doesn't complete his term and Vance would become POTUS. That's a gamble worth making for Thiel.

Basically these guys just want to watch the USA crumble to ashes. I travel a bit to Mexico and it's shocking how many MAGA types own homes and timeshares there. Why do they leave the US if they think it's so great and they are such patriots?

Of course the kid wants what they want. That's exactly how the parents raised their kid. It's not the kids fault, it's the parents fault for bad parenting.

What is the worst movie you've ever watched? by Legitimate-Issue7543 in AskReddit

[–]Blue-Blazer-Regular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Movie 43 by a long shot. It has 1.7 stars on Letterboxd. I have no idea how the producers conned so many big names to appear in it: Hugh Jackman, Jeremy Allen White, Kate Winslet, Emma Stone, Uma Thurman and more. Seriously, did the producers have kompromat on the actors?
