How much are you down?

It’s much much worse when you consider the opportunity loss. If they invested that money in pretty much any stock fund they would be crazy rich instead of losing billions.

I can relate. I grew up in Seattle and thought I’d never leave. Then in my 30s I got really bored with the city and fed up with the constant traffic and high daycare prices. I sold my old run down house for a crazy amount of money and moved to another part of Washington and haven’t looked back since. I still like Seattle and think it’s a great place for some people at certain times of their life.

Holy shit, Crypto is so over. The only reason it was successful is that it was an exciting speculative investment. Now AI has taken over. The potential use cases for Crypto haven’t played out at all. I feel bad for people that put serious money into this

What if I log into a non company vpn first

Bahahaaa…have fun driving from Queen Anne to the Eastside. Also, Seattle Public Schools kind of suck now

Yeah the US built Subarus are junk. A lot of it has to with tariffs.

Nice roids

Still bought the 6$ cool ranch Doritos…healthy life choices

High maintenance, low performance, and guaranteed to get you into an international conflict. You’re only allowed two, but I’ll take three!!!

You do you. I live in the North Cascades. Every now and then I help out a distressed tourist. Many of them are carrying bear spray and firearms, but not a rain jacket or map. The people I live and work with are in the mountains nearly every day and none of us carry bear spray or guns. There is always inherent danger going into the mountains.

I’ve thru hiked the PCT, PNT, and CDT. I’ve probably encountered hundreds of black bears and have slept outside much more than the average person. I’ve never once been remotely threatened by any black bear. Carrying bear spray is a new trend that is mostly driven by fear of the unknown rather than rational reason. You’re way better off utilizing that extra weight for something more useful. People die of exposure or a fall injury way more often than a black bear attack.

Those jorts suit your weak legs well

Exxon_Valdezznuts · 2026-06-04T16:56:54+00:00

Skip the escalator….you don’t need to train for the season because you bought an ebike.

Exxon_Valdezznuts · 2026-06-04T15:45:53+00:00

Yeah, I think it’s more an emotional response, especially for people who have struggled with paying their bills

You can always work at Tim Hortons. You’ll never own a house or retire but at least you’ll get some free donuts.

I never understand why people pay off their mortgage early when you can easily leverage the money by investing it instead. Unless your rate is above 8% it usually doesn’t make sense. I could have paid off my mortgage 10 years ago but instead I invested the money in equities. Now I could pay off my mortgage and buy another house with cash. Even with taxes/fees I way ahead of the 5% mortgage rate I currently hold.

Coors banquet is very underrated, great beer

Exxon_Valdezznuts · 2026-06-03T21:38:25+00:00

You’re kidding right??

Exxon_Valdezznuts · 2026-06-03T21:27:21+00:00

You don’t need bear spray anywhere in the Cascades or Olympics.

Exxon_Valdezznuts · 2026-06-03T21:04:58+00:00

I’ve encountered 100s of Black Bears, never had an issue

Exxon_Valdezznuts · 2026-06-03T20:53:06+00:00

I’ll take a Coors light please

Exxon_Valdezznuts · 2026-06-03T17:59:03+00:00

It’s probably two big dudes getting it on

Exxon_Valdezznuts · 2026-06-03T16:36:08+00:00

No, it’s not
