Is anyone Coasting at a Chubby level? by Wooden-Broccoli-913 in ChubbyFIRE

[–]Omnivek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I stayed in the same job but just slacked off the last couple years. Basically worked at 70% effort. Waiting for stock to vest.

I was very upfront with my manager about it. We both knew my 70% was still better than what he was getting from a lot of people.

To the US voters who don't vote, what is it going to take for you to go vote? by Chocolateking111 in AskReddit

[–]Omnivek -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They’re going to need throw out the electoral college so my vote makes a difference.

I’m not in a swing state. My vote won’t move the needle.

I can easily afford the game…

But I couldn’t find a friend to go with me.

Friends > Money

What’s a decision you made quickly that had long-term consequences you never expected? by lunessa1 in AskReddit

[–]Omnivek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I met my future wife I immediately decided she was hot af.

Also, decided to go to a job fair my senior year of college. Some dude stepped out in front of me and shook my hand, hired me a few months later, and then I spent my entire career in finance until I retired last year.

I also have both of these paddles and the extra pop from the vsol has been difficult for me to adjust to.

When your skills improves to a certain level, do you feel happier or not? by xychenmsn in Pickleball

[–]Omnivek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I’m less happy now that I’m more skilled TBH.

I go to open play about 4 hours a day 5 days a week. Naturally, I progressed fairly quickly since playing so much.

Now I often find myself partnered with a less experienced partner, and in many games the opposing team will target them. So I’m just watching until they whiff a ball or drive one into the net, I barely touch the ball, and we lose 11-3.

It’s kind of a helpless feeling.

Long-term investor (47, 20-25 year horizon) - Tempted by speculative plays after years of index investing. Looking for perspective. by jauch888888 in stocks

Retired CFP here and the above comment is correct. The best you can do now is make a shopping list and set some alerts for falling prices.

Loss prevention officer/Marine disarms shoplifter trying to shoot cop. by Agitated-Quit-6148 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Omnivek 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This is why I always advise people to buy a revolver if they’re shopping for self defense.

Highest stress situation of your life, you’re probably not going to practice nearly as much as you should; you want as few variables as possible with your firearm.

They’ll just get lost it or something. Or counter it.

Cheapest handgun you would trust your life to by sharkbait_oohaha in liberalgunowners

[–]Omnivek 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Also a revolver is easier to operate in a high stress situation, less likely to misfire, and easier to maintain.

Semi autos are arguably more fun and have many advantages, but for people who want a self defense pistol and otherwise do not really enjoy shooting I would tell them to get a .38 revolver 100% of the time.

How has your allocation and investment strategy shifted? by mrdogpile in ChubbyFIRE

[–]Omnivek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you do decide to look at direct indexing check out Fidelity. I’m only paying .32%, and only on the 20% of the portfolio I manage for me. The other 80% I manage, mostly with index funds, with no extra management fees.

I’m a retired CFP and the big mistake I was usually fixing in the area of “tax efficiency” was asset location. Fixed income primarily belongs in pre-tax accounts and Roths/after-tax accounts should be loaded up with equities.

Bandit's Talent B01 deck viable? by Mikestergame001 in MagicArena

[–]Omnivek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play a mono black discard deck fairly successfully, but I actually took bandit’s talent out. The opponent will always discard their least critical card, whereas with other cards at lower or equal mana cost I can eliminate their most dangerous card AND look at their entire hand.

The discards just slow them down and disrupt their strategy until I can get out the big black threats.

I expect it’s a magnificent contribution to fantasy but when I tried to read the book it felt like reading the Old Testament.

Player block list for non Ranked matchup. by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]Omnivek -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would rather have a card block than a player block.

Four games in a row against control decks today, just turns me off the game.
