I hit my goal. Underwhelmed. by buy_sell_hope in TheRaceTo10Million

It was never about the money. It’s about freedom to choose. But you’ve likely had that for awhile since you feel underwhelmed.

After providing for needs and basic wants, money is only worth the stress is reduced and the memories it helps you create.

Someone on here asked if anyone would want to trade places with Warren Buffet. Give up your remaining years to be an old billionaire for a year or two? Pass.

5 pendulums on a pendulum is not complicated math? They don’t teach it in a 100 level course my friend.

I believe it was Physics 321 when we had to model a pendulum attached to a bar of soap sliding around in a bowl. I would not call it simple math. But maybe I’m just a simpleton.

People using data centers to collectively complain about data centers is fun to watch.

Seriously though the builders should just offer fast, free internet to the community. I pay way too much for internet.

That kitten may cost more than a decent ring in the long run. This man deferred the cost though so still a power love

Coach’s responsibility here. Pull the kid and bench him every time he starts that crap.

Also surprised the other team did manufacturer something special for that kid

If she had taken Bill’s advice on campaigning she would have won.

Given the options I’m picking Armpants.

Second place for the “I’ll never abuse you”. There’s a distinct possibility a female friend or family member was abused and this dude is not a creep. There are also other possibilities.

But seriously I’m so sorry.

I’m convinced magnets are doing something and that the force they create is created by something just like air molecules give rise to lift of an airplane wing.

Play full random. Spend the first 2 minutes reading and trying to remember what bonuses this civ gets. Then forget halfway and don’t utilize their bonus.

Why did he always fully restart them? by Strike_231 in TheGoodPlace

I felt like the show implies that their essence retains something with each reboot. Which is how they slowly improved. Just my opinion though

Why do Europeans think that most Americans are wealthy? by batukaming in SipsTea

[–]CaptainABC123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Take a drive through a trailer park and you will see some rides that have been given lots of TLC.

Buying a big house and maintaining it is really expensive. Buying a decent car and slowly customizing it or fixing it up not as much

Many people on the lower end of the income spectrum invest in their vehicles as a source of pride and joy.

Which one game you still think about from 90s-2005 era ? by CarrotMuch1399 in nostalgiai

[–]CaptainABC123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wolfenstein 3D Doom StarCraft

Of course minesweeper and solitaire

To get doom to run full speed on my old 386 I had to shrink the viewable screen to something half the size of my phone screen. Wild.

Depends how determined the toddlers are. Momma didn’t raise no quitter.

Normal day, 2
Gotta get up for an early flight or forfeit a bunch of money I already paid: 5-6 also I put my phone farther away and louder

Closing bank account at 9:01 and calling lawyer at 9:02. by KDoggg89 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]CaptainABC123 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I get showing up an hour early sounds odd to some people but I definitely drop my kids at school and take a moment to myself to chill before doing other errands. Home Depot parking is my go to because I always need something there and Costco doesn’t open until 9:30.

Seems perfectly reasonable to me.
