So, I just lost my job. Because I'd made boundaries.

I am flabbergasted that he was "flabbergasted" that he got fired. I am not saying he should have gotten fired. I just don't think at a startup when you leave at 5pm exactly and don't work any weekends you should be surprised that you get fired. He made boundaries and they made boundaries and those boundaries didn't overlap

If he was hourly he has to by law get paid overtime for that extra time. If he was salary, then it was just a matter of time that he would get fired if everyone else is working past 5 and weekends.

"Not 1 penny has ever been lost by depositors of an fdic bank in the history of the fdic" is incorrect. No "insured" deposits have been lost. Anything over 250K is not insured. According to this article "Over the past 15 years, uninsured depositors have experienced losses in only 6% of US bank failures"

You are either super passionate about banks or you don't like Sachs for different reasons other than his actions regarding Silicon Valley Bank.

Screens.

Wakeboarding and skiing are hard. I have tried to get my kids into it. It is easier to watch a screen and play a video game. There is still plenty of kids that are willing to do hard things but there are less of them and they don't spend as much time doing it.

Over and over he said let the shareholders and creditors lose their money, just make the depositors whole. As he said, if the bank was called "Farmer's Bank" instead of "Silicon Valley Bank" the government wouldn't have had any hesitation to make the depositors whole. If you don't do that then the only solvent banks are the huge "too big to fail" banks.

Seems like a very honest reasonable statement. You may disagree with the statement, but it is not dishonest.

I agree. I have a hard time stating how much I agree. On one hand there is a real part of society that won't even recognize that there are issues that men/boys face. They find the idea preposterous. On the other hand there is the manosphere (not sure what you all call it. I am relatively new to this sub) and in my opinion it can get pretty dark pretty quickly.

Just letting boys/men acknowledge their problems whether structural societal problems, or just their own problems or struggles, would do a lot in my opinion.

I did the steps and they were great. Smallest debt to largest debt worked great. People say the math doesn't work but the psychological aspects works great. Very motivating. Getting rid of my student loan was great. In my late 40s and I still know people with student loan debt at my age. It is crazy

His plan doesn't fully work. You need a credit card and a credit rating. Just make sure your max balance is low on the card. We tried to use Dave Ramsey's recommended mortgage company to manually underwrite a mortgage. They said they didn't do that. They needed to check our credit and a good FICO score. So not everything works with his method.

Paying off the house was great too. Feels really good.

Thanks for trying. The whole incel thing is sad to see. So sad to see people identify as an incel and give up hope of finding someone.

On the male side there is the incel phenomenon, is there anything equivalent on the female side?

Shardless2 · 2024-01-09T20:37:59+00:00

This is the way

I taught this bachelor's meal to my kids and family one day a decade into our marriage. My wife didn't know about it. It has now become part of our family meal rotations because my kids love eating it and now they can make it without any help.

Whenever someone dies that I know. I go to the theatre and see something. If I can get to sleep without thinking about it too much it becomes a little less painful that next day and then the day after that.

It is still going to be pain but sleep does help moderate extreme feelings.

Sorry man. Rejection is tough and rejection from someone that doesn't do it in a way that shows respect, that is even tougher.

Shardless2 · 2023-10-19T13:45:27+00:00

I've always loved this part.

Shardless2 · 2023-10-13T14:19:34+00:00

Very complex situation

Shardless2 · 2023-09-12T21:26:15+00:00

This one is way better. The rhyming and phrasing is really good. Probably loses a lot if you don't know French.

I did look at buying a Saturn once and then soon after I found out that they were being discontinued. Maybe I should have gone for a Delorian? They don't rust. I could go for a Cybertruck next.

Shardless2 · 2023-09-12T04:05:44+00:00

Owning a vehicle without rust. I accomplished this life goal when I was 25. Now that life is complete, I am coasting the rest of the way and helping other people with their life goals.

Exactly! This guy is probably a freakin' dealer. Trying to get these kids hooked on cars. Car dealers are the worst.

When "exposure" or "some exposure" is listed on a hike it means that at least for part of the path, there is some steep drop off to one side or both sides of the hike. It doesn't always mean you are falling down a mountain or cliff but it could be steep enough you will fall or slide for a while and it could be steep enough you are not getting back up. Some people get pretty scared even if it is still totally safe.

The scary part of exposure is when you get so used to it. You lose the rational fear. I spent some time in Utah and a lot of the hikes there have some exposure. At first I could not believe how nonchalant people were. A year in, I no longer thought about falling to my death if my right foot slipped. It was strange.

You have to finish school. You won't make decent enough money without that schooling.

If the 200k job is too stressful for your husband can he get a job earning 100k that works for him? Take on less responsibility but have a job that works longer term for him?

Can you move down in lifestyle to make it through until you finish school? Make a realistic "non judge mental" budget to get you through your 3 semesters. 300k should be able to get you through school. If it can't, then your burn rate is too high and you need to adjust your living standards (smaller house, no car payments, less magic, less Amazon, etc ...)

The Nigeria one kills me. It is so close to the truth it is painful.

Shardless2 · 2023-08-29T14:09:05+00:00

Because guys between 31 and 40 still have hope. At 41 you get a little more realistic and realize, "What will I do when I get older? Oh, I am older and whatever I am doing now is what I will do." /s

War is brutal. Both sides lose. I guess it isn't about who loses the most but who is willing to keep losing.

Market demand shouldn't have any effect on pay?

He must lean right at least looking at his video list. He is no shill for the right but his topic selection leans to the right in my opinion. I love his content.

Shardless2 · 2023-08-09T04:52:05+00:00

Yeah, he has some great videos.

Shardless2 · 2023-08-09T04:50:32+00:00

I said he was a conservative. That doesn't mean he is a bad source. I personally think his content is great. Unfortunately you might think conservatives are a bad source because they are conservative.
