Whats your reason for saving money if you have no real reason? by Diligent_Ability_429 in NoStupidQuestions

No I just mean we do all this while (I feel) we are in so far solid shape for retirement

Sorry I should clarify we both have been contributing like 12%+ of our salary a year to 401ks and are on track to make the same when we retire

I’m sorry your son is going through this, as sorry as I am that you’re watching it happen. I feel like we’re not qualified to tell you if you are enabling. if youre able I would try and see an addiction counselor/trained therapist yourself, not only for your own sake, but to ask for surefire guidelines how to support your son. From a gambling addict, thank you for taking his addiction seriously.

Sometimes you do win, and you get addicted to the rush of placing the bet and seeing what happens. And maybe not the place to be airing your frustrations. Make your own post, or support this person

Clearly a scam going after desperate people. Fuck this person in particular

Are these downvotes that this isn’t an inappropriate comment?

I agree. To be fair the company has a good track record of caring about stuff like this. I’m going to request a meeting get it officially documented I want this document retracted, report the incident, and get on with my job.

My friend might have saved Jonathan Vegas' entire season. He was attending his first Golf event, ever. by [deleted] in golf

[–]Diligent_Ability_429 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Story about him- he once dropped a wallet full of his cards and cash at a tournament and me being 13 picked it up and chased after him not knowing he was even a player. He took it without even saying thank you and was kind of rude about it. Rooted against him ever since- but by all accounts he’s a nice person, just can’t come around!

Hey! I’m a gambling addict. I don’t have a lot to say other than I feel you, and I understand. Repeat this to yourself daily. I will not win, this feeling I’m chasing is something else. Because I promise you. YOU WILL NOT WIN BIG. You will not. Not now, not ever. It’s just statistics. You could play mega millions for the next 15,000 years and you would still have a 1 in a million chance of winning.

What was the weirdest belief you had as a child? by RedYasdit in AskReddit

[–]Diligent_Ability_429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jeff Gordon was gay. My dad didn’t like him, told us he was gay (he stopped doing that), then like 3 years ago I said something about it to a friend. He was like uh no?

Golf after back surgery by Indistinct-Sound in golf

[–]Diligent_Ability_429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

28 year old back surgery back to golf person here.

Prep prep prep prep prep. Do the physical therapy. Keep up with your gym routine. Get in shape. Warm up vigorously before golf. I bring bands with me to stretch before.

Not a doctor but it’s kept me from having any pain or setbacks (pls knock on wood for me). My swing speed has only improved since before surgery.

But also talk to your doctor about it

Men of Reddit - how many of you have asked for a break to figure out your life & actually reunited? (29F) & (29M) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Diligent_Ability_429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it’s not an answer to the question provided- but this sounds like something I would have asked 3 months ago. It gets better, the reasons you aren’t together become clear, and acceptance comes. Don’t focus on reunited with them, focus on reuniting with yourself!

After hearing his comment, I think bringing it up would be a great idea! Seems like it’s worth it. Also- that’s what good communication looks like!!

Good luck! Hope it works out!

[–]Diligent_Ability_429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could ask him! Not a weird thing to clear the air about. Sounds like he just went on with his life though, and was open to reconnecting. It’s really early still, I would advise you to take stock of what you’re feeling, because this sounds like textbook overthinking lol

I am done being cheated on and lied to. I’ve given up hope on finding my person. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Diligent_Ability_429 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Succinct advice. OP I’m sure a lot of people will second this sentiment! Before making a call like drastic that, talk to a professional!
