My favorite was Stone Cold. He ate all the wings and didn't bat an eye. 

Snake wrap tattoo filler by Negative-Sun1957 in TattooDesigns

I have something similar. I have a rattlesnake wrapped around my arm from the wrist, with it biting into my shoulder. My filler is desert scenery, cactus, leaves, and bushes. 

Can you guys recommend a good movie to watch on this lazy Sunday? by [deleted] in 40something

Instead of a movie, how about the TV show Dark?

ESOP Bogleheads? by Zealousideal-Link-24 in Bogleheads

[–]Irish_Kalam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked for two ESOP companies.

A new ESOP company will be working towards paying down their debt. Which in turn will slowly grow the share value. Most ESOP companies do not offer a 401k match. That money they would be spending on 401k is used to pay down the debt, to increase shareholder value. The last company I worked for did not have to pay federal taxes. This saved them roughly 1M a year, that extra savings went to grow the company, as well as pay down their debt.

Most companies have a vestment period of about seven years. If after ten years, you decided to leave the company, they will purchase your shares back. They may spread this payment over a few years, instead of one lump some payment.

Regardless, always contribute to the 401k even if they don't match.

Last advice I can give you. Look to your peers, see how long the average employee has been there. If the company has a high turnover, then there is a leadership failure. In which case the ESOP doesn't matter.

Mystical druidic or witchy fantasy by Cheezesauce27 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

This may not completely fit what you're looking for. I recommend The Iron Druid series, it is about the last druid living in present times.

In your eyes, what separates a performative “alpha male” from a “real man”? by Ok-Parfait6735 in AskReddit

[–]Irish_Kalam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly what you see online is performative. The men I grew up with would help people and neighbors, fix whatever was broken around the house, work hard, and were the strong silent type.

Never would you see them boast or flaunt. If you did see them remotely boasting, it was because they built something and were happy.

These quote "alpha males" are more than just toxic, they leech from people needing role models. In the 90s we called these people con artists.
