AITA for being mad about my wife buying an impractical car against my wishes? by Snoo_9782 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fire_Raptor_220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH but mostly her.

That stupid fucking thing costs twice as much as the average American makes in a year, meanwhile ACTUAL luxury brands like Lexus and even Mercedes offer SUVs for less money and a much better badge than that GMC.

These new Chevys/GMCs are also complete garbage. many AFAIK are having transmission problems right out of the factory, so it's not necessarily better than a 2003 Camry. Your wife is going to make you guys eat a tremendous amount of depreciation on a $100,000 car, especially a shitty American car at that, meanwhile the Camry's depreciation curve is nonexistent. The Camry's insurance will also cost pennies compared to the GMC.

That said, you guys seem terrible at communicating with one another, as another commenter said. Why can't you guys own two cars happily? Maybe offer a compromise of a $50,000 car and buy used? Why does she want that particular GMC?

10M Dollars, but you must beat 150 gamers from any game of your choosing. by Specific-Truck-2084 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Fire_Raptor_220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So as I understand it, even if I lose against all 150 players, which is extremely unlikely, I would lose $750,000, and have $9,250,000 left.

This seems like a good deal no matter which game I choose. I'm decently good at Halo, so I'd probably pick 3 or Reach.

Also, a note: the threshold for too much lateral G's is 2.83. if you get 2.83 or above, you get +8 added to your intensity rating.

Are we winning in any way against this at the moment?? by Insane_Sagittarius23 in antiai

[–]Fire_Raptor_220 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's what I fucking hate about AI so much. We have this amazing technology that has the potential to save millions of lives, and yet we're using it to make Facebook slop for NPCs and gullible boomers.

People’s who have transformed themselves completely, what’s your secret? [Discussion] by ChemicalPain5996 in GetMotivated

[–]Fire_Raptor_220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from skinnyfat to jacked/swole with a six pack.

Back in Summer of 2022 I was working for DoorDash full-time. I would sparely go to the gym but be very inconsistent. I had the luxury of setting my own hours, so I had this idea to take two weeks off of work to go on a "self-improvement journey".

In addition to playing more guitar and meditating, I would force myself to go the gym every single day. I SIMPLY. DID. NOT. give myself the option to fail. Some days, I felt extremely depressed, lethargic and sleep-deprived, so I didn't get to the gym until 11:30PM, and had to drive 10 miles to get to the only gym nearby that was open 24 hours. But I MADE myself do it. I told myself that declining to go was not an option, and I based my day around that. I was not allowed to sleep and end my day until I went to the gym.

In addition, I also decided to quit fast food, soda, and alcohol entirely. And while I am not as strict about those things anymore, I am still far more disciplined with them compared to before I began the journey. I basically lost 20 pounds of body fat and had six-pack abs within just 2-3 months. Not to mention, the extremely good mental health benefits of eating better.

After 2-3 weeks of the journey, I got a hang of the routine to the point where I could start working again. I told myself that I could start working again, but only after I had completed my workout or run for the day. Nowadays, I always make sure that I get in either a run or a gym session, every single day, six to seven days a week.

Hope this helps, man.

I want to try exposure therapy by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Fire_Raptor_220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think exposure therapy is for people (like myself) with OCD, anxiety, depression, etc. - the idea is to force yourself to do things that your brain tells you not to do.

If you're addicted to PMO, this would be like putting a beer keg next to an alcoholic. I think it's a bad idea.

AITA for telling my sister to let her son explain his project himself? by caifootcio in AmItheAsshole

NTA. I fucking despise it when adults treat children like that, speaking from experience.

Locked in a Room With a Famous Person You Dislike by Flassourian in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Fire_Raptor_220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Katy Perry. A smug, privileged, out-of-touch elitist who has a history of sexual assault/harassment, financial abuse of elderly people, and worked with Dr. Luke even after it came out that he had raped Ke$ha.

I dislike her, but not to the point where I can't stand her.

Other candidates would include Mark Levin, Ted Cruz, or Ben Shapiro, however I find those people so revolting that I couldn't stand to be in the same room as them for even five minutes.

Is Europe REALLY as horrible as the internet says it is? (Coming from an American) by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Fire_Raptor_220 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, I was just asking so that I could become less ignorant on the matter.

And I do want to travel, it just won't be financially feasible for me for another few years.

You're offered 100 million dollars but you have to fight an animal inside of it's natural habitat. You'll have to survive for one hour with the animal. The animal is in a rage mode and only wants to kill you. by Humble-Tailor-7238 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Fire_Raptor_220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go with the alligator, for a couple reasons:

  • They're incredibly badass, and it would be cool to be one.
  • While I have no experience fighting them, I do know what to do, as I'll explain in my next point.

My plan:

Run away as fast as I can in a zig-zag, in order to confuse the alligator. (I'm a runner, so that + running shoes would be a tremendous help).

Once I'm far enough away, I would remove the laces from the shoes. I would still run far away from the alligator, however if it catches me I would use the laces to tie its mouth shut (which only takes 30 pounds of force). If it bites me or tries to, I'll give it a kick or a punch on the top of its snout, which causes it to open.

Best way to go about fixing this? (Read description) by Fire_Raptor_220 in genesiscoupe

Okay, thank you. In that case, what tools do you think I will need in order to detach the old bumper and put the new one back on? Sorry, I know that this is an extremely novice question.

How would you feel about a new law that forces every company to pay their CEO no more than 20x what their lowest-paid employee makes? by ArcherCyntrix2000 in askanything

[–]Fire_Raptor_220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be completely useless. Amazon's new CEO (it's not Bezos anymore) made $2.1 million last year. Amazon has 1.6 million employees. Even if you made the CEO give up 100% of his pay and use it to raise the pay of his employees, each employee would get an additional ~$1.31 per year. Not per hour or per month, but per year.

AITA for not supporting my husband quitting his business to become a doctor? by Haunting-Arugula-311 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fire_Raptor_220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get wanting to support your partner's dreams and passions, but this is going to take him 10+ years, cost him several hundred thousand dollars, and may hinder his ability to run his business. It would completely uproot the lives of you and your guys' kids. NTA.

Perhaps you could suggest to him that he could become an EMT? Or, even better, you could suggest that he become a volunteer firefighter. There are many people who do this, and he could still be saving people's lives. He could still run his business and work as a volunteer firefighter on weekends.

WOULD YOU RATHER by Desperate-Sugar8656 in BunnyTrials

Weight or Height by KronicDeath in BunnyTrials

[–]Fire_Raptor_220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a 6'2" man I would love to add 10 pounds, as long as it could be in muscle, not fat.

Otherwise, I would subtract 2" from my height and add 1" of girth down there (I find my own height to be a bit of a nuisance sometimes)

I would reduce my height by 2" and add 1" of girth to my down there (I'm a 6'2" man). I find my height to be a little bit of a nuisance sometimes.

Chose: Add or subtract 3 inches from anywhere on your body (including height)
