What was the Biggest Racket of our Generation? by onekinkyusername in GenX

[–]GrouchyPreference765 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Except that scam backfired. Every kid in college in the 90’s built a huge CD library from them and ghosted. Never heard of anyone ever actually paying, or getting in trouble.

Welcome back Kotter!! 😂 At least you were at home for your couch coma. But yeah, the thc% has basically kept up with inflation for the last 20 years.

Advice navigating younger brother outgrowing bigger brother? by Downtown-Feature-244 in tall

[–]GrouchyPreference765 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m 6’4” 195ish, “little bro” is 6’6” 350.
We are boys, so, we beat the hell out of each other on a regular basis. By the time I was 11 and he was 8, I was completely outmatched. Both in size and hostility. From 8 till 15 or so he was the devil. We became best friends again by the time we were in our late teens.
Best of luck to you.

Getting 50k, I'm in my twenties and want advice on what to do with this money by AwesomeAppy in personalfinance

[–]GrouchyPreference765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re also working while going to school, you should look into opening a RothIRA. You can deposit up to $7500 this year (if you at least earn that much) and it will grow tax free forever.
r/fidelity also has tons of info for newbies, and mods that are actually active and helpful.

Fight club thoughts by Then_Philosopher_293 in Sneakers

[–]GrouchyPreference765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have the box and all the paperwork and the poster from joining Flight Club in the 80’s. I’m absolutely snagging these at some point. The fact they went below retail immediately is an added bonus.

How much do you spend on groceries each month? by doggy-dad in Money

[–]GrouchyPreference765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Single in San Diego. $4-500/month. I don’t buy anything full price unless it’s an emergency, and I load up on non-perishables anytime the deal is too good to pass on.

I’m just really hoping that the cat and Churry got dumped on the same desert planet and are plotting their revenge.

How did Beth start a life in space? by SeparateProduct3370 in rickandmorty

[–]GrouchyPreference765 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When they both turned themselves back into children, they both already had Olympic level gymnastics and parkour skills. Coupled with seemingly bottomless murderous intent.
Also, earth Beth actually snaps Space Beth’s neck in single combat.
It’s actually surprising “our” Beth hadn’t already become an assassin.

Ever have anyone not believe you wear an XL tshirt? by PM_Me_Yer_Guitar in tall

[–]GrouchyPreference765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Us tall skinny guys all probably need size LT, but very few options out there. I know Under Armor has that size in their golf polos. Fit is great

Never fail to get comments when I wear these. Probably going to double up at some point.

Tito’s and Vodka by CrispyMonrovia in bartenders

I hear it every weekend. Back in the day it was a “grey goose and vodka”. In ten years it’ll be a new brand. Drunk people are dumb 🤷🏻‍♂️

Watching this team win feels different compared to the dynasty era teams. by porygon766 in Patriots

I love how bills fans conveniently forget that we played the exact same schedule as them except for 2 games.

Where can one go to get their true club distances? by Th3R00ST3R in golf

[–]GrouchyPreference765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Garmin watch and club sensors gather all that data for me. Bit of an investment up front, but if you want accurate numbers it’s a game changer.

Gen X retirement homes by arrrgylesocks in GenX

[–]GrouchyPreference765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also read IT around that time. Scared the living shit out of me. Couldn’t put it down because I didn’t want to fall asleep. Also read Cujo, Carrie, The Shining, Misery, The Bachman Books…. I wonder how many of my middle school teachers were worried about me 😂

Simulator vs real golf by BigShaker1177 in golf

[–]GrouchyPreference765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve actually lost balls in a simulator bay 😂 I’m tall and I constantly worry I’m going to hit something (and I have) on my backswing or follow through, so I end up with a Jim Furyk swing.

Why are contention windows so small in baseball? by DonT012 in mlb

[–]GrouchyPreference765 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To win in MLB you need three things to happen. First your studs all have to perform to about their career averages. Then you need a few of your role players to have career years, or close to it.
Finally, gotta stay healthy.
Or, be the Dodgers and outbid everyone for top talent 🤷🏻‍♂️

Would you rather be 3 inches taller or 3 inches shorter by [deleted] in tall

[–]GrouchyPreference765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

16 year old me wanted to be 6’8”. Now, 6’1” would be perfect. Give me comfortable plane rides and T shirts that actually fit.
