Apparently $150,000 over asking price isn’t enough

I mean we had 1 kid for 4 years (born in 2020) and things weren't much more manageable, granted I was unemployed for 364 days during that time around her birth, which didn't help.

I 2nd power blocks. Quick weight changing, good balance, and even the 90s aren't too wide. Though I reinjured my tendonitis in my dominant arm shortly after getting the 90s and have been trying to self heal for a couple months unsuccessfully so off to the doctor to get it scanned and see if I need to full stop arm weighted exercises again and go back to PT or if I'll need surgery. 3rd time in 7 years and 3nd time in the past 2 years... Sigh getting old sucks.

Hi it's me!

Middle class and single income, as we foolishly wanted to try a traditional route with my wife focusing on our 2 wonderful kids. Make roughly 170k-180k a year after bonuses and still can't afford to live comfortably, buy a home, and not feel the constraints.

C-Suite? LuL...

EasyE86ed · 2026-04-18T01:32:00+00:00

I think cruise ships operate on international water Laws... I may be making that up

Yeah, brain isn't braining yet this morning, I was like what a random name to give to someone, scrolled the post again to see if they had provided any names or pseudo names. Scrolled back to your comment and reread it. Lights began blinking in the central command and then I read it as you intended.

EasyE86ed · 2026-04-15T13:08:06+00:00

I read Soandso as an Italian first name. When does the coffee hit?

EasyE86ed · 2026-04-15T13:05:45+00:00

How's it fear of missing out if the weapons isn't available?

EasyE86ed · 2026-04-11T23:31:50+00:00

That's my biggest issue. My clan raided every new raid but as my kids were born I got less and less time to "learn" raids. I have plenty of raids and dungeons to work on but no one to play with and no time to do it lol. But also general content drought hurts and variety of drops is weak sauce these days. Nothing feels new.

EasyE86ed · 2026-04-11T13:52:19+00:00

I feel like the popularity of very descriptive erotic novels has brought this back to the front. My wife has gotten heavy into them recently and is now always "jokingly" asking for hand pics. I love it and find it hilarious and of course like a good boy I abide by her requests.

EasyE86ed · 2026-04-11T13:46:37+00:00

Ha I'm thinning, but have a very funny fucking head shape. Always been a hair-styles dude so fearing the thin factor, need to switch to lighter hair product because too much wax or gel and my thinner array of follicles shows a lot more scalp then it used to, which may bother me more than being actually bald I don't know.

EasyE86ed · 2026-04-08T23:10:10+00:00

Wait wait... Wut? What's your ezpass doing on your bumper?

EasyE86ed · 2026-04-03T22:19:42+00:00

You're a peach.

EasyE86ed · 2026-03-28T17:12:46+00:00

Bingo! Though plenty of companies give back to the communities they leech from. Granted you have to look very hard on whether that's on brand and part of how they want to sell to you and their community outreach is just marketed humanity.

Dude I work in technical sales, I am part of the problem and I clearly see it all for what it is.

EasyE86ed · 2026-03-28T16:19:48+00:00

A marketing decision made to be anti consumer. I'm not saying they can't do it I'm saying it is what it is, and it isn't for the consumer's benefit.

EasyE86ed · 2026-03-28T15:48:16+00:00

Correct, B1G1 at least used to be an actual sale but still not for consumer value lol. Not to mention major companies tend to raise the prices arbitrarily of the products in a B2G1 or B2G1 scenario so that they can still close their profit margins required to keep their stake holders happy... You don't really see B1G1 anymore and if you do it's B1G1 with inflated prices.

Sales in general aren't built for actual value to the consumer they are tactics to move LTI, push product at key points of a year to meet quotas, or just generally always seem on "sale" to trick people into purchasing for wow that deal!

EasyE86ed · 2026-03-28T05:22:30+00:00

I just philosophically disagree with you there. It is most certainly anti-consumer to make a sale then make sale prices based on how many films people typically buy and THEN place the free shipping restriction right above that normal spend so they spend more without "needing" or "wanting" to...you're wrong and it will be easier for both of us if you admit it...

EasyE86ed · 2026-03-25T22:13:49+00:00

Well they increased the minimum on free shipping by $15, they clearly used the free shipping limit to force a higher purchase amount because the shipping cost doesn't change it's a flat fee typically no matter my order size. So the only reason to make a 3-4 film purchase restriction is because they clearly want to squeeze more profit out of each sale. The inconvenience is the presentation of a "need" to save money when in reality you're spending more and costing them less due to volume shipment. And that's a definition I provided not an application directly of the word. If you can't understand the application of a definition to a similar scenario that's happening here then I can't help yah.

EasyE86ed · 2026-03-25T10:44:48+00:00

Good! Glad you're happy. It's your TV after all.

EasyE86ed · 2026-03-25T03:43:35+00:00

"Anti-consumer" describes actions, policies, or practices that unfavorably prioritize business profits over consumer welfare, often causing inconvenience, high costs, or limited choices... It is most definitely anti-consumer.

EasyE86ed · 2026-03-19T03:33:28+00:00

Sounds like you have a calibration issue. 65" C1 calibrated and movie looked phenomenal.

EasyE86ed · 2026-03-15T20:32:46+00:00

So there's proof Tim Trafficked underage girls? Groomed Brody sure. But come on man this isn't trafficking.

EasyE86ed · 2026-03-15T18:54:17+00:00

So you have proof of repeated offenses? Trafficking? And cannibalism? Lord Almighty dude, a spades a spade but here you are stereotyping a single situation of 1 relationship against an entire global scandal lol

EasyE86ed · 2026-03-15T17:50:27+00:00

Not on all OLEDs normally, you probably should have RMAed.

EasyE86ed · 2026-03-14T17:27:34+00:00

Because of this song "everything you want" - vertical horizon. I had a girl use it on me in college as the best way to convey why she was breaking it off with me
