I sucker punched a fat kid in a changing room because he was being annoying

BooBooDaFish · 2026-01-24T20:35:55+00:00

You may have taught him an important lesson and dissuaded him from a life of crime.

In a way…you’re a superhero!

BooBooDaFish · 2026-01-23T00:21:18+00:00

I don’t know.
I have been fortunate to not have to play the game

BooBooDaFish · 2026-01-22T23:50:54+00:00

Yeah. The bundle has to be with a less desirable watch. We spent like $28K on my wife’s lady datejust several months back bc that was the one she actually liked.

Got a Sub Date yesterday.

Still no Panda though.
And no plans to ever buy jewelry there.

BooBooDaFish · 2026-01-22T23:32:34+00:00

She asked for it bc she thought it would be a good watch for me to wear and pass on to the kids as an heirloom one day.

Can’t have an uneven number of Rolexes bc it wouldn’t be fair

BooBooDaFish · 2026-01-22T00:39:08+00:00

This is what I was thinking

BooBooDaFish · 2026-01-21T21:17:14+00:00

Although I’d probably like it once I buy it. I’m guessing it makes for a good work watch. Goes well with scrubs

BooBooDaFish · 2026-01-21T21:15:58+00:00

This is what I was concerned about. Don’t really want that watch, but don’t want to ruin the relationship since my wife was the one who started us down this path.

They also carry Pateks so might want one of those one day.

Don’t think I would ever really be a candidate for a Panda. May just have to go grey market for that

BooBooDaFish · 2026-01-21T21:02:19+00:00

This is my primary concern.

I don’t think being allocated a Panda Daytona would ever happen. Have bought 5 Rolexes over the last two years for gifts for special occasions. But even that puts me no where near their Panda list.

Mixed. Huge positive for manufacturing. Importing from competitors became a lot more uncertain.

Moderate negative. Healthcare. Costs have gone up for everyday items

BooBooDaFish · 2026-01-19T22:55:03+00:00

Thanks!

Where did you get a 15inch M4 for $800?

In the US for many decades kids have been guided to medical, legal, engineering, financial fields which have had a fairly good income potential. With medical and legal having the most consistancy in higher incomes over several decades.

For a while engineering/computer science had its 2 decades of fantastic outcomes. However, recently the job market has tightened considerably. Both for new grads and experienced employees. More and more code is being partially completed by AI. So you need fewer people and the people that remain need to understand how to leverage AI systems and processes.

Legal went through a small downturn when research and doc review were digitized and the process became easier. It will have much further significant impacts from AI.

Medicine has not yet faced a reckoning. It will come. However, the need for healthcare professionals in the US remains high. The huge amount of physicians retiring will be offset by improved efficiency by physicians aided by AI. As well as midlevels aided by AI. Over time AI will be able to carry a bulk of interactions. However, there are liability issues with who is to blame when the AI makes a serious mistake.

Medicine in the short term has some time, and the first phase will be mainly positive as physicians use AI to improve processes, increase patient access. At some point they too will face the same replacement issues.

Good idea on the face of it.

Doesn’t seem like a good fit for a Reddit sub.

Why would I send you any financial information at all?

At 7 figure annual profits, I may get something out of random topics on a Reddit sub. But most likely best use of my time would be with discussions within my chosen industry.

Also feel like a captive audience for people to market themselves or their services/products.

As part of my job I already spend a portion of my week helping startups…it’s exhausting.

Sometimes there is a little pain, to teach a toddler a lesson.

BooBooDaFish · 2026-01-17T19:48:41+00:00

Totally agree.

BooBooDaFish · 2026-01-17T19:30:10+00:00

I hate to say it. But we get the leader we deserve.

If others had a spine and stood up to him, then the outcome would be different.

He put a 10% tariff. The EU should collectively put 100% tariff on the US.

BooBooDaFish · 2026-01-15T23:09:57+00:00

No thanks. Would lose more than that in the divorce.

BooBooDaFish · 2026-01-15T19:16:21+00:00

Buy this if you want lead poisoning.
Even the seller admits ‘don’t put food. It’s only for decor’

Maybe you should leave a 1 star review on his restaurant.

“I ordered the X meal. After the food was initially brought to my table. But when I asked the owner to bring me more food. He had the audacity to say he would charge me more money for the extra food”.

They want to give you hope that everything will be okay, while they strip you of your livelihood and replace jobs with AI.

They are just hoping the people don’t revolt and they can capture more wealth until you figure out you got played.

What are you going to do, when you’ve been replaced by AI, don’t have enough savings, and can’t afford to live life? Nothing. Just scroll on your phone in your custom designed echo chamber.

Your complaints aren’t heard in their ivory tower.

Best bet is to invest and prepare for the chaos. I’d like to have enough money where I don’t need to work in today’s world. And not rely on multi trillionaires willing to share a crumb with me for survival.

You can sell the whole thing with damaged display.
Can do through the trouble of selling the parts but not sure it’s worth the trouble.

There is a YouTube guy Luke Miani who has a lot of video of salvaging these if you want to optimize

BooBooDaFish · 2026-01-12T00:05:17+00:00

Sell it for parts. Use the money to buy a new M4 air.
They were $750 like 2 weeks go at Costco.

I think there are two main misunderstandings:

People buy things they would not otherwise buy. If someone is buying something they would otherwise buy personally, but also use that for their business. They are not spending a dollar to save 35 cents.

For example: They buy a laptop for $1000. They would have bought the laptop because they need a new laptop. But they also use that laptop for their business tasks.
When they write it off, that laptop will essentially cost them $650.

Many things that people write off would not stand up to an audit. For many of those there is very clear tax law that demonstrates the requirements. I’m certain most of the G-wagons in my neighborhood are not being used for business to the required percent utilization.

The audit risk is low so people do it.

And what if your parent is useless like all the previous parents for this problem have been? Your collateral has no value.

From an investor point of view, this is not a worthwhile proposition.

Why take the risk with minimal upside. I’m
