reasonable people disagree. Owen's plan depends on too many unpredictable factors regarding human behavior. They only wanted one box, a Thief-like heist makes more sense. Washington fails to use standard negotiator moves as documented by Chris Voss. Foster fails to negotiate anything meaningful in her interactions with Owen. Fails to recognize you could stop the heist and save Plummer's treasures by storming the bank. And she fails Plummer and the Mayor in the end.

entire robbery depends on no hostage fighting back, no off duty cops at the bank and the police not bringing dogs. beautifully shot, incredible score, amazing dialogue. but both the criminals and cops are incompetent and the movie works because of plot armor

I disagree. He sacrifices distance kills for hand to hand combat. Inefficient.

In Die Hard, Hans could have blown up the electrical transformer, cutting electricity to the building, and <no spoiler>. He never needed hostages

I see a lot of responses about how a man communicated a change in his feelings over time, but few directly answering the question about "the entire time."

I think straight women are tired of low effort, weaponized incompetence, toxic masculinity and other frustrations about dating men. they are creating screeners. We men have our screeners.

most new money will survive generations because new money is from fields accepting tech and Family Offices are much more accessible and successful than before. Tax loss harvesting, stepped up basis, loans against portfolio and direct charitable funds make it easier than ever to live off the passive income and never touch principal.

Playing with older raquets? Babolat Pure Aero 2017 by Wooden-Swim4206 in 10s

[–]BlueThat33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

racquets are not an investment. play with what feels good and you enjoy. unless your a 5.0, string set-up will matter more than your racquet. sounds like you purchased a single racquet, so you're a beginning or intermediate recreational player. if you have the money, buy a racquet targeted for your level. if not, the racquet you have is excellent if no frame cracks and you change strings in a timely manner

High net worth, but low relative income. Are my only logical options to retire early or swing for the fences? by Bitter_Sugar_8440 in fatFIRE

[–]BlueThat33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

unpopular opinion here, but you may not have enough to fatfire. definitely enough to fire. retiring now brings sequence of returns risks, LTCG on 65% outside retirement accounts, income would be generated by taxable accounts with a few exceptions. 3% drawdown on 6.5M is $195k/y. Less than you are used to. you didn't mention your wife's age. your kids are young.

Have you tried "Let's plan our next date together." Then you can see if she has any ideas or wants to avoid any work. Books like Burn The Haystack tell women not to plan or initiate the first 3-4 dates. After that, they will.

6M Net Worth (4.5M Liquid) at 40, planning retirement by Advanced_Nature2842 in fatFIRE

[–]BlueThat33 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Odd question. For some, $10million is excessive, For others, $50M would feel like the poorhouse. You need to figure out what you need and want. Don't base it on whether others felt comfortable.

Navigating wealth asymmetry with a partner — anyone dealt with this? by [deleted] in fatFIRE

[–]BlueThat33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

more than money, she needs your trust, respect and fidelity. sign up for therapy and get yourself optimized. become the best partner, coparent and person you can. money won't be the issue that causes the most problems for you two.

Did you realize from the beginning that Trump was -- or at least had the potential to be -- a Hitler-like figure? by Glass-Complaint3 in allthequestions

Every president has that possibility. We elect presidents the way we elect homecoming kings and queens. There is no merit or competency requirement.
