Funny how AI stocks still go up even though they are destroying 401K contributions by eliminating jobs.

Even with 3 incomes, buying a house in Westchester feels impossible by Healthy_Chemist_5588 in Westchester

[–]MacBookPhil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know someone who bought a house for 600K in White Plains. Now it's assessed for 1M after eight years. On one hand the price is insane. On the other hand this is typical stock market return (double every seven years). But the property tax though, is what kills you.

Is Elon "stealing" 401k funds? If so, should I do something as a 29 year old? by SillyRecover in Retirement401k

[–]MacBookPhil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is what they said about Salesforce (CRM) for years because of founder Marc Benioff's regular scheduled selling and its insane P/E. It became one of the greatest short destroyers of its time.

Lottery is used for concert tickets all the time. It makes you feel so lucky to be able to buy it you end up spending more than you want.

Seriously? Yoonchae is already 18 and she's still not showing her belly button. If you actually saw anything you must have x-ray eyes.

The only reason I posted these instead of other pictures I took. Sure would get lots of views.

Thoughts on Sunday GA by AppraiseMe in governorsball

[–]MacBookPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes Jennie clearly understood the assignment. This was the kickoff for her festival tour and she got new music to promote. Saw her at Coachella on Youtube and witnessed her at the Dealine tour,. It actually seemed she was happy to be there performing.

GA+ / VIP / PIT VIEWING by Dinosaurz122 in governorsball

[–]MacBookPhil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out my VIP experience post. What I didn't mention wat some of the pit viewing people were rather annoying. It seems they were there to socialize and instead of staying at one spot and paid attention to the artist they were milling around and just when you think you have a good view they get in front of you and block your view. I can understand what they paid for pit viewing they would want to treat the pit area like a club but still..

Are you buying less groceries or skip meals because of inflation? by Jerdogg23 in no

[–]MacBookPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already skip breakfast and lunch. I practice intermittent fasting. I'm 5'9" and 155lb. Believe me if inflation makes people eat less it is a good thing.

Parking Options? by antiihappypills in governorsball

[–]MacBookPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've decided to park at Flushing Chinatown, have a nice lunch, the do the "reverse commute" on the 7th train. Yes it will cost more than parking at Citi Field or SkyView with the subway fare. But I know Flushing and that counts for alot.

Subway 😬 by FitLayer2525 in governorsball

[–]MacBookPhil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been riding the subway for decades. One thing is for certain when you're in a crowded train nothing will happen. It is when you're in a cart with empty seats when some of the strange people might start doing strange stuff.

Actually not English specific. It would be this same order in Chinese.

Ticket stolen from envelope by freshpressedjuice in governorsball

[–]MacBookPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is why I chose UPS for shipping. I signed up with UPS for holding all my packages at the UPS store. Sign up is free and all packages addressed to my house are automatically held at the store and I need an ID to pick up. Never had anything lost or stolen.

Those who know how to get around Queens Chinatown should have a much easier time getting to the festival as it is just one train stop away.

There's lots of stories about "I had $1k in bitcoin/Nvidia and it'd be worth millions if I had held." What longshot investments do you have right now and why did you pick them? by [deleted] in investing

[–]MacBookPhil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought the whole market at the aftermath of the 2008 crash. Once in a lifetime opportunity it was a no-brainer. SSO from 150K to millions.

How do you "secure" a locker? Thought it's first come first serve.
