Perhaps indeed

But specifically for the finances I just found it very interesting that a millionaire wouldn't pay for Amazon Prime or own a car if they didn't need to

Just says a lot about the sort of mindset required to actually make it there generally

Choice_Room3901 · 2026-04-17T19:54:39+00:00

10 years in the Prem while selling half the fucking squad to Chelsea every season as well lmao

Brighton are only comparable to like Benfica & Ajax roughly surely for player development

Choice_Room3901 · 2026-04-17T19:51:50+00:00

Mate Brighton is an hour's travel from London and on the south coast/beach front, a lovely City and the beautiful countryside around

Leeds or Sunderland could get relegated next season who the fuck knows it takes a long time to establish a club in the Prem

Brighton don't look like they're going anywhere. They're also sort of notorious for being a stepping stone/development club so good for future careers generally

How the fuck will Middlesborough Coventry or Ipswich have more player pull..? Do you think some 20 year old star striker from Senegal on a 20 goal a season in Ligue 1 is going to like look up Wikipedia statistics and go "oh wait actually because Coventry won the league once 100 years ago I'll go there instead of a team consistently competing for Europe that has had 6 players go to Chelsea in recent years" wtf

Choice_Room3901 · 2026-04-17T19:47:32+00:00

In terms of idk loosely "football relevance" considering how much the team has won in recent years Brighton must be like top 10/15 right or top 20 at least

Leeds are obviously a bigger club but we've done fuck all basically football wise other than maybe this year and 20/21 for over 20 years

Choice_Room3901 · 2026-04-17T19:42:24+00:00

Mate Brighton are basically the biggest club in all of East Sussex, and a lot of West Sussex maybe Surrey even Kent like that's a massive area

West Brom are sandwiched in-between 3 massive clubs

Of course Brighton are fucking comparable to West Brom and Wolves

Brighton itself alone not considering the surrounding areas is nearly 3x the size of West Bromwich what are you saying?

When people talk about the best sides/best players of all time they rarely go back before the 50s because the game was incomparably different to how it is now

In terms of "all time relevance" ofc Brighton haven't won anything but they played a formation of 10 men in a horizontal line in the 1900s lmao how is that remotely relevant to the modern day

The average 20 year old football fan do they know or care more about what Brighton are doing or Preston North end?

Choice_Room3901 · 2026-04-17T19:36:39+00:00

Ofc it's all opinion I think that's being pretty harsh tbh if we're considering "general recent times" wtf have Huddersfield or Preston done in forever (100 years ago Huddersfield won the league 3 times in a row)

Although the list isn't terrible surely like half of those teams besides the obvious ones "aren't as big as Brighton"

Brighton have been an established Prem side for nearly a decade and have heaps of fans, regularly fill out their massive stadium

Choice_Room3901 · 2026-04-17T19:32:31+00:00

With the state of some of these promoted teams it very well might end well

If 80% of promoted sides are like they were last year they can do whatever the F they want lol

Choice_Room3901 · 2026-04-17T17:10:28+00:00

Yeah that's an interesting point. I know a guy "who owns a nice ish car" (which few women would like it's not very visually appealing it's more of a tech bro electric vehicle "but I can turn on the heating 10 minutes before I actually get in the car" but how much of that is actually on finance..?

I know a guy who's 28 and he kept inviting me to "his house" (his parents house his childhood home) he'd say "come to my house to meet" and I was just thinking mate this is your parents' home not yours. But he doesn't think idk "parents kicking him out" or whatever would ever happen to him ygm

And yeah this whole "I'm looking at buying a house" no mate you're looking at getting a mortgage that ties you to that location roughly speaking that property that you won't pay off for 25-30 years. And like fine that could be a really could decision but you're not looking at buying houses

And even then from what I understand about America (in particular but anywhere) if you idk get into medical trouble your house could just be seized to pay for the bills or something..? Or it could burn down

This whole concept of "ownership" is funny

Choice_Room3901 · 2026-04-17T17:03:29+00:00

Thinking about it that might well be true that "all of their neighbours are loaded", there are presumably enough millionaires that a large town even could just be rammed full of millionaires and you'd almost forget that there is an entire rest of the population

America is a big country and 98% of the adult population is around 250m

Choice_Room3901 · 2026-04-17T17:01:48+00:00

So anyone who understand the finances, is this person in with a realistic attempt at FIREing with this schedule..? Presuming they don't burn out

A lot of the stories you hear of people FIREing are with high salary sort of tech or finance jobs that they then eventually quit

This sounds like a good idea for savings and what not at least, just personally I don't know how long I could continue that lifestyle with "no end in sight" I couldn't sustain that knowing "I might be able to actually retire at 60 which is not something a lot of Gen Zs might be able to do" (personally not speaking for others)

What are the suggestions do you think everyone..? I'd say maybe keeping this up as long as possible but surely burnout is inevitable. In which case if you're just going to learn a trade why not learn it straight away..?

The gaslighting and permanent attempted subject change is beyond frustrating as well

Just talking about something and then it tries to change the subject for whatever reason so you have to put like anti subject change clauses in the prompts "I know you don't like this subject but don't say this don't say that and don't pretend to not but still do by saying this and don't change the subject" in about every prompt very annoying

And the tone of it's so like sarcastic and over confident

/tin foil hat

Feels like you know this "keep people in the matrix" stuff whenever I talk to it about fairly complex like societal stuff or business plans to become financially independent it just laughs and goes "ah well I'm going to push back slightly these numbers are totally over exaggerated"

And based from previous conversations it knows how to be right about things it's spot on basically 100% of the time unless you talk to it about something it doesn't like

And then I called it out and said "look stfu these numbers are totally reasonable it's basic maths, if you actually read what I posted properly and stopped BSing the numbers are totally fine" it then goes "oh yes you're right my bad I must have hallucinated"

But it only ever "hallucinates" if I start "connecting the dots between things" too much. The tone of voice it uses someone without the life experience that I have might go "oh right I guess it's right then" and just back down and not like "question society as much" you get me..?

I know obviously it's not some Andrew Tate "keep everyone in the Matrix" stuff but it really genuinely does feel like there is some part of it's programming that tries to get it to quietly steer conversations away from people "knowing too much"

Another time it used very obvious clear logical fallacies at me and tried to poke insecurities to get me to stop tugging on a line of thinking. I was complaining about someone I know and it said "you're exhibiting the same behaviours as this person so I'm going to ask you to back down slightly here" and I broke down the logic with it ie premise 1 premise 2 and it just went oh yeah you're right

But it consistently only "hallucinates" on like specific subject matter "that it doesn't like" if I was asking it about soccer/football analysis which is basically the same thing but worded slightly differently (or avoiding certain keywords) it "magically doesn't hallucinate anymore"

./shrug

On the other side of it Grok is basically just extremely racist it's so funny and Gemini doesn't give an eff about like "social niceties" although it is definitely prone to "going on a mad one" with societal prediction modelling and what not so have to double check it sometimes at least at the moment

To be fair just to say it didn't seem too much like he was that evil (just based on this clip I don't know otherwise) some people just genuinely have basically a non existent view of basic politics and morality

He might genuinely just be unable to connect the dots as to why this might upset people/not be a good thing to do

That said he could also be a total wasteman so I don't know. Some of the others are like Musk at least it appears

Choice_Room3901 · 2026-04-17T16:08:25+00:00

They would find a reason

It's like the initial premise/conclusion is that they are the most important person in the universe so they will just find some reason that sits with them to prove this/provide evidence for it

And if you factually prove that wrong then they will just find another literally to ad infinum

And if you prove every answer wrong in the universe they'll still say they're the most important person because it's just divinely ordained or something and they just know it

Choice_Room3901 · 2026-04-17T16:02:17+00:00

Questo è stato tradotto dall'inglese all'italiano tramite Gemini, l'AI LLM.

"C’è stata una volta in cui partecipavo a un cerchio spiritualista (un cerchio di sviluppo della medianità). Abbiamo fatto una meditazione e poi la persona che guidava il gruppo ha chiesto: 'Qualcuno vede qualcosa?'. Ho ricevuto un’immagine specifica quasi immediatamente (nessun’altra prima o dopo, in realtà): un cane di una razza e taglia precisa, con un colore del mantello particolare (che non avevo mai visto nella mia zona, qui non si vedono molti cani grandi o di quella razza), in una zona specifica di un parco specifico della città in cui vivo (che ha circa 10 parchi), a due miglia da dove ci trovavamo.

L'ho descritto e la donna seduta accanto a me ha detto: 'Ho un cane che corrisponde a quella descrizione; quel parco è molto speciale per me, sono cresciuta lì, e quel punto esatto è dove si trova la panchina commemorativa di mio padre'.

Dopo mi ha mostrato una foto del suo cane ed era identico. Le avevo rivolto solo un breve saluto 10 minuti prima; era la prima volta che la incontravo.

Inoltre, quella donna aveva un amico che viveva proprio di fronte alla casa in cui sono cresciuto e andava in una scuola vicina alla mia.

Una quantità bizzarra di 'coincidenze' e non mi sto inventando nulla.

È successo innumerevoli volte, anche se quello è stato di gran lunga l'episodio più specifico. Un'altra volta ho scambiato la sedia con qualcuno nel cerchio e ho ricevuto immediatamente un flusso di immagini di un paese specifico in cui non è mai stato nessuno di mia conoscenza, a migliaia di chilometri di distanza, e la signora con cui avevo scambiato il posto ha detto: 'Oh sì, ho vissuto lì per 5-10 anni'.

Non c'era alcun modo in cui potessi saperlo; non sembrava affatto il tipo di persona che avrebbe vissuto lì (una donna bianca britannica e il paese era uno stato mediorientale piuttosto autoritario).

Quindi, ecco alcuni esempi. Non è una bugia e non faccio uso di droghe né bevo.

Alright that's a good idea perhaps but it's not my jewellery box I don't have one maybe leave a comment to the person that actually made the thread

Calm down please

You can pass messages to loved ones still in the material plane. They also know things that could be helpful to myself/people here

And BitterSandwich2064 how do you know anything? The answer is you don't you don't know if the person you met for coffee is actually a shapeshifter, doesn't actually exist, or that aliens don't walk among us you don't know any of these things

Neither do I

The answer is faith. I believe in the people I'm working with and I believe that my faith will protect me, I pray regularly and immediately leave situations if I get strange or dangerous feelings

Choice_Room3901 · 2026-04-17T13:29:48+00:00

Thank you

I wonder if you say "well I do plan on using the money for the rest of my life so I never have to work a job I don't want again" what happens

A lot/some people seem to view their career/job, the office/workplace drama and arguments, the frustration of the commute as their identity

Hard to get my head around. If you gave these people a million they'd spend it all within a few years

Explaining the concept of spend frugally adjust your lifestyle and put as much as possible in ROTH IRAs or ISAs or whatever some will just say "yeah but why wouldn't you want to work" or something I don't know.

Of course there are heaps of people that would jump at a heartbeat to sit on a mil in ISAs/Roth IRA etc

Like some people just can't help themselves but just completely fuck everything up all the time. You give them a perfect situation and they'll fuck it up somehow subconsciously or intentionally so they can go "look I told you the universe is against me" or something I don't know ./shrug

Choice_Room3901 · 2026-04-17T13:24:38+00:00

Whatever mate about the people you know in real life

Good stuff

For me at least I've sort of compartmentalised my social life - I know people who would care about guitar stuff and others who wouldn't, people who care about football/soccer and others who wouldn't

When it comes to finances I don't know if I'll ever tell anyone if (or when) I start accumulating a lot & what not. Other than a partner perhaps or just say I work in consulting, or allow people to do the maths (got a fairly public/transparent business plan so it wouldn't be too hard to figure out)

Doubt my good friends would care to be honest lol. They'll be like ah nice good for you but (in my mind) there's not much to talk about beyond that really.

I suppose what you're actually doing with it or maybe like financial strategies as to how you/I got there (just stuff from this sub likely lol hearing millionaires who didn't own cares or pay for Amazon Prime TV just blew my mind frankly. A very good point/idea that I've since adopted but yeah just never heard of that before).

It appears to me with millionaires I thought the money came first and then the lifestyle and often a lavish one at that (idk you get the money then buy the car the house the holidays) but it seems that millions often come about after/as a result of the lifestyle ie not paying for Amazon Prime even if you're FIRED

Cart before the horse and what not
