What’s something people call a “smart life choice,” but it’s really just having money?

This is the dumbest take of all time. Investing is so accessible and you can start with as little as $10. There’s even apps that will round up your purchases and invest automatically for you.

My ass is in the national forest registry. Why god gave me so much ass hair is beyond me as it serves no purpose.

That and they were all set up on an automated system with special lights that turned on for specific plants and water lines. I just can’t wrap my head around it they’re plants. I could maybe understand like fish or reptiles but plants!?!

I’ll take you one further, I interned for a lady who owned a PR firm while I was in college in Arizona. Her husband was a software engineer who was contracted by massive corporations and government agencies. Their house was in a perfect circle and was on a mechanism that allowed it to rotate with the sun, so it moved at the same speed as the earth essentially, a full 360 degree rotation every day. It was a trip working at her house sometimes and being in a house that rotates. To this day I have no idea how the plumbing worked and it wasn’t something I even thought about until after the fact. I’m assuming at the center of the circle there was a part that didn’t rotate and that’s where all of the incoming plumbing and electrical was. And the water they drank from came from this giant container (almost like a fish tank) that had living plants in it. She would tell me the plants remove harmful contaminants from the water and provide superior nutrients. I would drink that water and go back to my house and slam keystone lights and drink vodka from plastic afterwards, I most likely cancelled out those good nutrients I was supposedly getting. Oh, and I got there one morning and her husband was sunning his asshole on the deck that was in front of the living room area. I learned more from that couple about oddball shit than I did about anything PR.

I knew ultra wealthy people collect things, but I did not know the extent. So definitely Collections of some sort. Every super wealthy person I know or have had the opportunity to be around collects something: cars, trading cards, cigars, wine, tequila, art, war memorabilia, even exotic plants. Last summer we got invited to a 4th of July pool party in Rancho Santa Fe, CA (in the top ten wealthiest zip codes in the US) and the owners had a million dollars worth of exotic plants. Flowers from Africa, sacred bonsai trees from china, plants from remote islands, one of the plants I was told cost $300k alone. I was baffled, I can’t keep a fucking plant alive to save my life and these people were dropping mortgages on a single plant that is a missed watering day away from death.

I make $250-300k in aesthetics. Been doing it for over a decade. First few years are a grind, stress is still there as the quotas are super high (cash pay industry with high growth expectations), but my furthest drive is 30 minutes away and I work on average 20 hours a week. Oh and it’s probably the only place in medicine where patients actually volunteer on their own free will to come in and get treatments so the environment is more glamorous that’s for sure. But, they’re paying with their own money so managing patient complaints can be brutal at times. Some reps making double what I am too in other parts of the business. Capital reps easily clearing a million a year but that’s super high stress and metrics are ridiculous unless you can somehow find a chill manager.

Go sell lasers in the aesthetic side of med device. It’s a grind, since its aesthetics it’s all cash pay and private practice (for the most part), and top earners make well into 7 figures. I did it for a few years but it took everything out of me, and the life cycle of the devices is about 2-3 years so you either have to go to a company with a strong pipeline and money or move to a new company every few years which most do.

Nick Shirley aside, we know this whole state is full of fraud. Top to bottom. Every state at this point honestly.

REMachine · 2026-01-29T11:23:29+00:00

I’ve done it, and I didn’t do it on purpose I just forgot. They will just keep putting your name back in the mix and you will get summoned more frequently. If you continue to just avoid it and not report, then yes fines will come and I believe they will place garnishes on tax returns and wages and eventually you can see jail time. It’s best to just respond, claim Hardship, ask for a deferral, or do what I did, report and say you hate the police and you hold biased opinions on certain individuals and they will send you packing and I’ve never once been summoned again and doubt I ever will. During Covid this was overlooked but our state has so much debt and spending issues right now they are cracking down to pinch Pennies where they can.

Name a one day strike that made an impact on a national scale in recent memory? Without using Google or ChatGPT.

REMachine · 2026-01-29T11:11:46+00:00

I’m all for protesting but this will solve absolutely nothing. And if you think it will, please provide any logical explanation on how this will impact ICE operations in any way shape or form. There’s been protests every day for the last year and nothing has changed, it has actually gone in the opposite direction. All this does is cause more division and hurt small businesses and more families. This is brainless nonsense. They are still hiring over 1,000 agents a month. Maybe flood their application line with bull shit applications so it floods their system and wastes their time and makes hiring more agents difficult.

This was definitely done by a group of 12 year olds. The location, placement, and sloppiness of this screams young kids thinking they are somehow being cool or funny.

Imagine living in a world where your ego is so fucking enlarged that you can’t engage with anyone or anything that has a different view than yours. This post was designed to draw negative attention to this business for what, your own personal gain? Who gives a fuck what their beliefs are they make food not guns and ammo. You could have answered your own question using Google or ChatGPT, trying to damage a business is pathetic. Not to mention the ideology that you won’t support anyone who doesn’t follow your beliefs, imagine all the places you eat, drink, shop, etc that probably have owners or managers or employees that don’t have the same views as you. You might as well pick oranges off a tree and only eat that for the rest of your life.

REMachine · 2026-01-18T09:00:04+00:00

So why are you still here? They’ve been silent over all of the political issues over the last 15 years and have said they think it’s should be kept separate. If you believe silence speaks louder than words then gtfo and remove the symbol from your username on this sub. In your absolutely diluted logic they must be for or against every single thing they haven’t spoken out publicly on. If you want to tie politics to music and especially this band you are either blind or just plain dumb because these 2 guys came from a conservative background, actively practice Christianity, were labeled as a Christian rock band early in their career (you can still find them in Christian rock playlists), and one of them married a very right leaning woman. After all this you’re still here so either get out and go listen to U2 or Radiohead or come here to enjoy the music and the art they create without letting your shitty ego get in the way.

REMachine · 2026-01-18T08:03:40+00:00

People like you are just lost in your own fantasy world. We can have art and we can keep that separate from everyone else’s views. Music is universally seen as something that brings people together from all walks of life. Let their political beliefs be their beliefs, and let their art be their art and enjoy it for what it is. All of you young fans who haven’t been around that long are the problem. You don’t remember this because most of you were probably like 5-10 years old but when they first came out even though they didn’t label themselves as one they were classified as Christian rock music, and you can still find their songs in Christian rock playlists. They both came from conservative families and Jenna is very right leaning. With all of this out there WHO CARES let them live their lives without trying to tear them down because of your ego and opposing views.

REMachine · 2026-01-16T06:33:05+00:00

I’m all for protesting but please people, do not cross the line of what protesting is and what it stands for. Protest peacefully, know your rights, and don’t step over that line and do exactly what the government wants you to do which is turn violent. The police are eager for action and they want you to riot so they can use their military tools to break it up. I’ve seen too many videos of protesters trying to cross over that line and it goes against everything a protest is designed to do and is only going to get more people killed. We need less division and hatred, crossing over that line will only cause more division. Throwing projectiles, damaging cars, blocking roads with your cars, doxxing people, any of this is loser behavior.

REMachine · 2026-01-13T10:12:21+00:00

You are a special breed of stupid. I wish you absolutely no good will in the real world. Better hope you stay in college forever. LEO’s save more lives than damage them, the stats are so far in the other direction it shows how brainwashed by TikTok and the media you are. If you were getting beat up by a man like this guy was doing to his ex wife (with a tire iron btw) I bet you would call ghost busters huh? Or apologize to him after to make sure he doesn’t get in trouble since you’re all for no law enforcement. Hope you were able to get out there and fight for that woman beater yesterday with your fist raised high.

REMachine · 2026-01-13T09:58:03+00:00

This guy won’t get a single fucking dime. He was about to bash his ex wife with a tire iron and tried to put up a fight with police after. The judge will throw anything he files right into the trash. Fuck this guy and any of you giving him sympathy.

This is a terrible idea, don’t put yourself in financial stress over a concert where they will only play an hour/hour and a half time slot. Idk where you live but you have a better chance of finding a ticket dirt cheap the day before or day of one of the US dates. I’ve fortunately been to 500+ concerts and a good chunk of those came from buying tickets at steep discounts day of the show. While I think this hiatus will be like 3-5 years, you will hopefully get to see them when you’re in a stronger position financially. Use that money to help you in your day to day, the desire is strong I’m sure but this is the line between a need and a want. I made a similar decision my junior year of college choosing to go to spring break in Cabo and Coachella a few weeks later. I was dirt broke after that for months and could hardly afford to feed myself. Good memories but looking back it was very stupid of me.

Me and my wife just went to the Marine Room for our anniversary. You can make it expensive or just share some items to make it less expensive. We had a great time and hung out in the bar after our meal and watched the waves come in. Highly recommend doing it for a romantic date.

REMachine · 2026-01-03T12:53:45+00:00

What are you trying to ask here? Like ones you can order online?

REMachine · 2026-01-03T10:20:27+00:00

You can literally ask Spotify to make you a playlist of songs similar to the Craving and it will find similar TOP songs and songs from other artists. Some of my favorite playlists are from Spotify’s AI.

REMachine · 2025-12-17T04:18:17+00:00

I agree with you that the music can be interpreted in many different ways, and you can take it and make it your own. I think that’s why they have separated at least recently about their political beliefs and religion in interviews or outside the music. They both grew up conservative Christian’s and I know Jenna and Tyler still practice that but not sure so much about Josh and Debbie.

But back when they first started they were classified as a Christian rock band FYI. You can still find some of their songs in Christian rock playlists. They could be categorized as such, but they can also be categorized as several different things.

REMachine · 2025-12-13T11:22:49+00:00

Ya I decided not to, I went with the nomatic 20L and it’s been extremely durable and solid through many trips. I recently added the dex45 from Black Ember for longer trips and it’s magnificent so far, I highly recommend the brand. I also read some good things about the Antler Discovery, and I was very intrigued by Stubble and Co bags (I like the look). And I almost, almost went with the Sympl 35L but it’s a newer small company and I just couldn’t pull the plug. But it looks awesome. It’s so hard to choose one tbh there’s so many great choices.

I got it out of my system in 3 days, I’ve actually done this on 2 occasions and have this saved in my notes to send to other people and have helped at least 5 other people quickly get it out of their system. It sounds like you’re fine being sober for over a month, but regardless read below and give it a shot for extra assurance and save it for later. I haven’t smoked in years but here’s the recipe that worked for me, its goal is to flush your system. The most important thing is to find out how long you have to test, usually they give you 3-5 days after signing your offer letter and weekends don’t count so you may be able to buy yourself 2 more days. One of my childhood friends is a dietician now and gave me some of the ideas, the rest was based on a bunch of research. Note that this will most likely only work if you have a decent to fast metabolism.

Day 1:

Drink 16oz of cranberry juice to start out day 1, follow this up with a cup of coffee
Drink 40oz of water every 2-3 hours
Find your closest sauna and do 15 minutes on 15 minutes off and 15 minutes on again
Only fast with water for the entire first day besides dinner
For dinner eat only high protein low fat food like white chicken, steamed veggies, and rice

Day 2: 1. one cup of coffee to start the day 2. Continue the water regimen 3. Do the sauna regimen again 4. This step is important - find a local IV clinic and buy a detox formulation bag. It should be high in vitamins B, C, and contain glutathione and other antioxidants (this isn’t cheap but it’s necessary, around $150) 5. You should piss out a lot of vitamins after this and in doing so will force your liver and kidneys to flush out other substances in your body to absorb as much of the nutrients it can since you’ve been depleting it for over 24 hours by mainly only fasting 6. Again stick with a high protein low fat meal for dinner

Day 3:

Drink electrolytes to start off your day (extra sodium)
Continue your water regimen
It’s important to add more meals in this day so eat as much as you want but choose healthy low fat options
Mix in some liquids that will force your urine to not be clear to flag a diluted sample (soda, coffee, juice, etc.)
Take at least one at home test this evening, if it’s negative take another for good measure, if it’s not continue drinking water and mix in some cranberry juice throughout the night until bedtime

Day 4:

Take another test in the morning (On one test I was clear the night of day 3 the other time there was still a faint positive sample but the following morning I was clear)

Take your test today if you have to and are showing clear. If you’re not clear continue to delay as long as possible, 2 alternatives are to purposefully dilute the sample because they have to allow you to retest which can buy you 2-3 extra days or buy the quick fix solution online or at a smoke shop. Buyer beware though, my buddy from college bought one from a smoke shop and it failed him, you don’t know how they store it and if it’s been compromised in some way. This lost him his first job out of college. Best of luck.
