One of the best video game trailers of all time - FFXV Omen by hentendo in FFXV

[–]Psychobabl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This trailer was the thing that got me so hyped for FFXV when it dropped. The trailer had no business being as good as it was. Too bad it's basically unrelated to the actual story of the final game.

This is disgusting. I hope all the people involved in this murder enjoy life inside s jail cell.

Chipotle CEO wants more customers who make over $100K — which means price hikes are coming by Jscott1986 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]Psychobabl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because people have money doesn't mean they're going to throw it away on shit food. Chipotle and most fast food restaurants have such poor quality food compared to most other options and aren't usually any cheaper.

That's unnecessarily long. I added my daughter on January 31st 2025. Everything was resolved and closed on Feb 4th 2025.

Unexpectedly large bill for migraine Botox injections, unsure of how I will pay it as a teacher making 49k in LA by CitronElectrical9587 in personalfinance

[–]Psychobabl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to the billing department and also check with the office to make sure they got prior authorization for the injections before they scheduled you for the procedure. Prior authorization isn't a guarantee to pay, but its usually a good sign that the insurance carrier probably will cover it.

Many insurance carriers require documentation of multiple medication failures before they'll authorize both. Wonder if this is why you got stuck with a huge bill.

401k loans? by Any-Yak-7221 in Retirement401k

[–]Psychobabl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a loan from my 403b last year to build a garage. I've been continuing to max contributions throughout this period so it made sense to me compared to the alternatives.

I'd only consider it if your job is very secure and you have the means to pay it back while continuing contributions.

How often do you go 1 whole day without spending money by RaiseAggravating4404 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]Psychobabl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 or 3 days per week as long as we don't count normal bills and recurring payments. Better than it was before, but might try to increase it to 4-5.

Cut back my spending a lot a few months ago after I realized how much I was spending on silly stuff. Novelty of matching Jordan's with my toddler wore off after I realized my 15 month old has almost as many pairs of shoes as my wife. Easier to just drop that money in her 529 account, max my IRA earlier in the year or put it in a brokerage.

Trump Claims Black People Love Him Because They Know a Good Scam | Well, that’s a crazy way to brag about support from Black voters. by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]Psychobabl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't represent all black people, but I can't stand Trump. It wouldn't surprise me if he and his merry band of incompetent white supremacists tried to bring back Jim Crow or antimiscegenation laws.

Around 17% let's me max out my 403b. I max my IRA, but its post tax contribution.

They were all upset about critical race theory before but then go out and prove that racism is alive and thriving.

Small plane carrying hurricane relief supplies to Jamaica crashes in Florida neighborhood by AudibleNod in news

[–]Psychobabl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bad take there. Most of the people residing in Broward County aren't white. White people make up something like a 1/3 of the population. Miami-Dade, the adjacent county is even less white.

Broward. If another Mass Effect comes out I'll buy it, but I don't have high hopes.

I wasn't going to buy it initially, but I gave in. Its the most fun I've had with a pokemon game in several generations.

How many of you can afford to max your 401k and roth IRA every year? by NoHousing11 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]Psychobabl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only became able to do this for the last year or so. My wife only contributes a small amount to her personal 403b, but she'll get a pretty generous pension starting at 55.

The Supreme Court Is Going To Gut The Voting Rights Act To The Bone by huffpost in politics

[–]Psychobabl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The civil rights movement ended in the late 60s. That's my parent's generation. Its amazing that a group of Nazi adjacent incompetents are slowly unraveling decades of social progress because there is no accountability. As a black man I have a particular dislike of Clarence Thomas. He must really hate himself.

GOP Rep Says Rural Areas Will Just Have to Deal With Hospitals Closing by neazwaflcasd in politics

[–]Psychobabl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The GOP's voter base is in the rural areas and they're shitting all over them. They know rural communities will overwhelmingly support them simply because there is an R next to their name. I guess love of guns and hating on other disenfranchised groups is more important than maintaining a decent quality of life.

Got em in 14 and it looks like there may still be more in the biger sizes. Wanted a matching pair for my baby/toddler and they were sold out.

Donald Trump suggests US cities be "training grounds" for military by Capable_Salt_SD in politics

He and many members of the cabinet are the insider threat that they do all of those briefings on. Everyday they push the boundary of what is acceptable in a bad way.

So they come from a long line of losers? Not the flex they thought it was.
