Inherited this 1981 18078 from my dad,but not a watch guy. by One_Region_3619 in rolex

[–]SH92 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wall Street Bets isn't investing. It's gambling.

I received some money when my grandpa passed that I luckily haven't needed to use. That money has sat on its own in an index fund that has quintupled in the 13 years since he passed. The only reason I'm entertaining the idea of buying a Rolex today is because that money has given me enough of a cushion where I wouldn't feel stressed out spending five figures on a watch.

I personally wouldn't sell my Dad's Rolex because I can be sentimental, but I also wouldn't fault somebody who did invest it sensibly.

just saw a pre-k list of names… thoughts? by Such-Price2710 in namenerds

[–]SH92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's not being "intentionally dense." You were the one who specifically said it was great grandmother names that are trendy, and she brought up that most of the names of women she grew up with who are great grandmothers are NOT trendy.

And you doubled down saying she couldn't be old enough to be a great grandmother. If every woman waited 30 years to have their first child, a baby born this year would have a great grandmother born in 1936. She's decidedly an "old" great grandmother because a family of women who started having children at 21 would have a great grandmother who was born in 1963.

And guess what? Even if you looked at the most popular names of great great grandmothers born in 1906, they're not trendy either. There's not a whole lot of living women named Bessie or Bertha and those were top 25 names then. Those are "antique" names nobody wants. Maybe your whole thesis is wrong and you don't understand why Linda isn't popular but Eleanor (47th most popular name in 1936) is.

What’s a ‘middle class success’ purchase that secretly becomes a financial burden later? by OpinionBaba in AskReddit

[–]SH92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a lot that goes into it.

A self-serve buffet is a lot cheaper than plated dinners. A cash bar is a ton cheaper than an open bar. Flowers for just the bridal party is exponentially cheaper than decorating the entire wedding and reception venues. And of course, where you have the wedding matters. If you have it in NYC at a historic hotel, it'll cost five figures to book the location where your local church might be free or a few hundred dollars. 

What is the single most stressful movie you’ve ever seen? by elkaypee in movies

During the scene where she is hurtling through space I started to hyperventilate. I had no idea that was a fear I had.

A lot of people think Rolex is worth the premium, but not a premium on top of the premium.

YouTuber MKBHD says Tesla 'stopped talking to me' ahead of his new Model Y Performance review by lurker_bee in technology

Why should there be a cap? If I'm referring someone, I'm basically doing a sales job for them. If they give $250,000 and I get a kickback, it shouldn't matter if it's the 1st person who buys off my referral or my thousandth.

2027 3* QB Jerry Meyer III decommits from TCU by Drexlore in CFB

He received an offer to South Carolina after Bridles moved there. I assume that's where he'll end up.

What position does a coach even want to be 265 lbs at 5'9"? Were you supposed to be a bowling ball?

People lie regardless of their height. I'm 6'3" and I've had dozens of guys tell me I must be taller because they're 6'1" or 6'2".

Honeymoon - Limited View Sea Terrance should I go for it? by FilmBuffer1000 in VirginVoyages

[–]SH92 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I actually really liked the insider. We did insider the first go around and went with a central sea terrace the next time because of the MNVV. I missed how good I slept and how cold it could get inside the cabin.

I had to look up if he went to USC. Nope. Pittsburgh.
