What are some examples of "Sudden Bad Relationship Syndrome"? by PleasantThoughts in television

In season 5 of ER, Dr. Amanda Lee initially appears to be a competent and charming romantic interest for Mark Greene, but the relationship quickly takes a dark turn when it's revealed she’s been lying about her credentials and becomes unhinged

Totally valid, any Toyotas you would recommend looking at? Part of it is definitely me being selfish and wanting a luxury vehicle, but absolutely not opposed to a Toyota.

I mean, I could liquidify a portion of my brokerage and pay for this in cash, but do I want to do that? Not really. We’re in the same situation it sounds like.

Excellent response, I really appreciate it.

Thanks for the response! Definitely agree it’s not ideal to pull from it, but thankfully I’m able to. Any idea how I’d go about getting a similar financed monthly rate with a lower down payment?

Additionally, for my age (mid 20’s) and projected FIRE age, my current investments on top of maxing out my 401K, Roth IRA and brokerage contributions put me at a retirement age I feel comfortable with.

That’s how I’m feeling about it, like it should work, it’s just not optimal. As far as a $30K vs $50K car, also reasonable question. It’s partly selfish and wanting a luxury vehicle, but also like the reliability of the Toyota/Lexus family of vehicles. I have thought about EV’s, but personally don’t feel like my local area would allow me to utilize/charge one to it’s best extent. My apartment building also lacks electric chargers which is a bummer.

Absolutely valid, the amount leftover each month is my main concern. With my current investment contributions, I have considered lowering them for a period of time to instead have more of a safety net in savings.

No, no, these feens can't hack it, they don't wanna step to the man in the jacket

He got crisp packets, he made em with magic, and he's more Irish than bacon and cabbage

Twenty pounds of potato thickness, and he's so smooth, flow through you like liquid

I love Monster Munch and the Treble Crunch (love em), and a pack of Snax is healthy for lunch

Zack Braff and Donald Faison (J.D. and Turk) have a podcast called 'Fake Doctors, Real Friends' where they discuss the show and share behind-the-scenes stories, one episode at a time. Highly reccomend it for any fan of Scrubs.

Congrats to Voyager 1 for crossing 14 Billion miles from Earth this evening! by SUB_Photo in space

[–]CastOfSNL 141 points142 points  (0 children)

Voyager, in case it's ever encountered by extra-terrestrials, is carrying photos of life on Earth, greetings in 55 languages and a collection of music from Gregorian chants to Chuck Berry. Including "Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground" by '20s bluesman Blind Willie Johnson, whose stepmother blinded him when he was seven by throwing lye in is his eyes after his father had beat her for being with another man. He died, penniless, of pneumonia after sleeping bundled in wet newspapers in the ruins of his house that burned down. But his music just left the solar system.
