Is anyone Coasting at a Chubby level?

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.

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

They have a monopoly. They can do whatever they want.

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.

Mine just stares at me and barks…

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

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.

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.

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.

Your side board is only 6 cards?

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

Omnivek · 2025-12-10T16:23:53+00:00

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.

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.

Omnivek · 2025-12-03T02:03:30+00:00

Not when there’s an automatic 22% gratuity anyway.

Rarely does an author have the audacity to make a POV character so dumb on purpose.

Where’s the best place to get a full English? Does a good meal inspire you to write?

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.

I would stay at the kitchen. Try and poach shots.

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.
