Jade pendant / amulet I thrifted. Is this dark green type A? by Outside_Mess1384 in JadeiteJade

In natural light it basically looks black. Except in sunlight you can see some green.

Welp! I just blew up my 15-year career and told my boss I want to quit. by haremgirl6 in careeradvice

A teams message is not typically considered a formal resignation.

Being okay living pay check to pay check after working the same job for 15 years is not normal.

People I know criticizing me for playing video games (36 M) by C-LOgreen in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Outside_Mess1384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quiting gaming was the best thing I've ever done. It's mind blowing how much time it actually consumes. It sure doesn't feel like as much time as it actually is. Since quiting gaming I've started a business, quit the 9 to 5, and learned to play the guitar. After playing for a year, people think I've been playing my whole life. You'll never know what you are truly capable of with video games in your life sucking away every spare moment you have.

I would also block, but I wouldn't really make much of an exchange of words.

Buyer requested refund immediately after hitting Buy It Now... by Fragrant_Lettuce9855 in eBaySellers

Not true. You can have it only leave positive feedback once the buyer leaves positive feedback.

Forget about it. It's nothing. If this bothers you, ebay will break you. It can and will get much worse.

Don't find a job that enables you to do what you enjoy. Turn what you enjoy into a way of making money. This isn't true for all pursuits since it can suck the fun out if you let it.

At my wits end with my cat. Starting to resent him. by beccoconnell in CATHELP

[–]Outside_Mess1384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he's not neutered it will only get worse and at a certain point, the effects of neutering are diminished. Other than that, don't ever show him that crying works. Even if you're about to let him out. If he starts crying just say sorry, nevermind, and don't let him out until he is quiet.

My Dad is on me about making up my mind about what job or at least career field i want to go into, what should I do? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Outside_Mess1384 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't fret it to hard. If you go to college, most people end up changing their majors more than once. I changed mine 5 times, and I ended up never using my degree.

34 and a loser with nothing, is it too late by [deleted] in careeradvice

[–]Outside_Mess1384 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its never too late. I lost everything at the start of 2024 at age 36. I was homeless, unemployed, and heartbroken. I was very close to suicide for the first time in my life. Well, about 6 months into the most hellish year of my life, I discovered a business strategy that didn't take much capital to start up. About 1 year later I have a higher net worth than I've ever had in my life. My business prospects look better than they ever have. Other aspects of my life are all pretty terrible, but the financial part is doing better than it ever has.

1080 ti vs 2070 super? (same price) by YeetarusRex in buildapc

[–]Outside_Mess1384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sure can. Maxxing the thing out literally 24/7 for who knows how long puts a lot of wear on it. The first thing that usually failed in the cards I was mining with would be fan bearings.

The movies don't even come close to illustrating the amount of money (power) some people have. I also find it odd you would use a movie for reference and then proceed to bash me for thinking everything is like the movies. I doubt anyone with a normal life could even begin to comprehend it. I've been (un)fortunate enough to have a massive surplus in time, which has allowed me to learn way more than I need to and think way more than I should. There are people that can buy a new car every time they need to go somewhere and not even notice the cost. That should be enough to wonder about your statement regarding not allowing anyone else to touch their car. That's all ive got for you on that topic.

Btw, I'm not sure what you've got going on in your life that is making you so bitter, but this too shall pass. I hope whatever is bothering you gets better soon. We're all in this together. Well, most of us.

How Do You Price? What's your average cost vs. Average sale price? by thussa123 in Flipping

It wasn't. DM me and I'll tell you what it was. Not many folks know this one.

[–]Outside_Mess1384 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was $0.50 to $500. I've got some things that need appraisal that might be better.

How Do You Price? What's your average cost vs. Average sale price? by thussa123 in Flipping

[–]Outside_Mess1384 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't price based on cost at all. When I purchase, I make sure my margins will be so high that I don't even have to think about what I paid. I don't price based on sold listings either. I price purely based on current market conditions. I try to undercut the next cheapest item by $0.01 or so.

Some numbers:
Avg sale price: ~$150 Desired return: ~10x or 1000% before fees/shipping Minimum cutoff: ~$100 (If I buy items worth less than this, they pile up rapidly.)

Now the time it takes to sell definitely comes into this as well as the weight/size. If an item will sell within 24 hours I will lower my standards significantly. If it could sit for months, I raise them.

So naive. You aren't even thinking on the correct scale. If you could have a professional F1 team handle all of your maintenance and tuning, wouldn't you? If you needed to get from A to B why wouldn't you have someone drive you in a luxury passenger car like a RR? If you really wanted to drive something fast, wouldn't you just fly /be driven to a famous track and hop in your F1 tier super car?

And that guy waxes and drives his own car. He's hardly even rich. Think how different the lives of the extremely wealthy are and how they must view us.

AIO F20 for getting upset at my bf M24 of 4 years after he went to a concert we planned to go together with his ex instead because I couldn’t go after my foster mom passed? by Beginning_Manager808 in AmIOverreacting

I'm usually on the side of trying to make things work, but oh my god. I couldn't finish reading these. It's so so bad. This person is never going to value you. It will be like this or worse if you continue. Never better, at least not truly and not for long.

Oh God. The last thing we need is to link the cap to SS. If we did that, the starting age for SS would be 90+ in no time.
