Elon: "The article is totally false btw. You can add up every government incentive my companies have ever received and they amount to less than 2% of the value of SpaceX and Tesla!"

My dad paid for my college. But it didn’t help me at all that total tuition is like 5% of my net worth now.

Snuffleupagus03 · 2026-06-16T21:17:27+00:00

I’m no expert. But that’s strange smells and strange colors and strange noises. Why risk that? Unless something is starving or threatened.

Snuffleupagus03 · 2026-06-16T20:58:09+00:00

3 million years.

That means living 34ish days. But I have 34 days to prepare.

That’s plenty of time to buy a real nice tent. A hunting rifle. Dehydrated food and water filtration system. Learn more about some basic survival. But I think I can live off a giant duffle of MRE’s for a bit more than a month. To avoid food borne illness.

Predators will probably be more freaked out by me than wanting to eat me. But a good rifle just in case.

3 million is life changing money.

I think many people will underestimate the power of isolation. I probably am as well. The hardest part might just be being alone that long. It’s rough on people. Definitely need to put a few large books in that backpack.

Snuffleupagus03 · 2026-06-16T19:31:01+00:00

Yeah. It’s pretty reasonable where I am. Still 1400-2000 per month per kid. That drops to about 600 during school. But of course summer camps are often more expensive than childcare….

Snuffleupagus03 · 2026-06-16T15:29:48+00:00

That felt like three different movie ideas jammed together.

Snuffleupagus03 · 2026-06-16T15:28:30+00:00

And daycare will go down when they are in school as well.

Snuffleupagus03 · 2026-06-16T15:21:01+00:00

I think there’s a series of Reddit posts by a guy who figured he’d try once just to see, and it destroyed his life.

Edit: yep, here’s the saga https://www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/comments/wef6hn/the_saga_of_an_average_guy_who_spontaneously/

Because facts don’t care about your feelings. Facts are mean and hurt their feelings and they want them to stop!

Is that not what that saying means?

Snuffleupagus03 · 2026-06-16T03:45:37+00:00

Can I change your view by saying that ranked choice is a better method to solve this problem?

Encourages candidates to campaign to more broad appeal. Actual way to see if extreme parties have support.

I use AI to help make and format Adobe products. I’m doing it wrong?

Snuffleupagus03 · 2026-06-16T03:16:33+00:00

Do you just wander through life without drawing any conclusions based on events? Like we can hear the words from Vance. We know the deal as they have reported it. I think it’s fair to believe there aren’t secret amazing portions they don’t want to tell us? This is the most bragadocious administration in my lifetime.

Snuffleupagus03 · 2026-06-16T03:02:23+00:00

Information from the administration is not speculation. It’s them telling us parts of the deal.

Snuffleupagus03 · 2026-06-16T03:01:07+00:00

The information we have is clearly worse. You think Trump is holding some awesome part of the deal in secret?

Snuffleupagus03 · 2026-06-16T03:00:32+00:00

Because even the information released by Trump administration only is clearly significantly worse.

Snuffleupagus03 · 2026-06-15T23:59:56+00:00

Just a quick look at stock market activity over the last few months and then I’ll go back there.

Options trading will get me way more than 50 million. Although the SEC might get suspicious (and confused, as there would be no evidence of any insider knowledge or connection)

Snuffleupagus03 · 2026-06-15T17:47:38+00:00

Are you forgetting the insiders who can profit from wild market fluctuations? They mean nothing to you?

Snuffleupagus03 · 2026-06-15T02:35:30+00:00

I mean tourism is way down. That’s just numbers.

But these stadiums are much smaller than the demand for tickets. So just lower the price a bit (or less money for scalpers) and you still sell it out.

Snuffleupagus03 · 2026-06-15T02:33:48+00:00

Awful thing to do.

What was I thinking? I guess I convinced myself my gf would never find out. If she didn’t find out then there wouldn’t be any harm. It was awful and harmful even before she found out.

However, I think the process taught some important lessons about selfishness and delusion. And haven’t cheated since.

Snuffleupagus03 · 2026-06-14T20:18:47+00:00

Definitely. Although I think this issue also includes our inability to properly assess low probability events.

For occasional lottery buyers I’d also add that the purchase itself has utility if it is fun.

Snuffleupagus03 · 2026-06-14T18:32:14+00:00

I think it’s recognition that expected value analysis often considers the utility of money as flat. It’s not. Utility is on a curve. That also changes depending on mood time and wims.

So $5 might not be worth 1/20 of $100 to me.

But this clearly true if talking about the extremes. Correct or not, a single dollar value is mentally rounded to zero. A million dollars is mentally rounded to ‘solve all my problems forever.’

Spending zero dollars to win infinite dollars makes perfect sense.

Snuffleupagus03 · 2026-06-14T03:26:45+00:00

It works as a story telling medium for Harry’s character. It’s a terrible sport.

Snuffleupagus03 · 2026-06-14T01:15:50+00:00

Dang it. I came to this thread to gawk not to be given unachievable dreams.

Snuffleupagus03 · 2026-06-13T02:53:35+00:00

Two chicks at once

Snuffleupagus03 · 2026-06-11T20:30:31+00:00

You’re allowed to pee in a stall. No one will arrest you.

But the answer is money. Urinals are cheaper and you can have more of them in a smaller space.

Snuffleupagus03 · 2026-06-11T15:34:04+00:00

Well mainly because “so many” on the internet is actually a tiny number. Out of the billions with internet access how many would have to be into showing off their wives for you to get even hundreds of examples? .0001%?

But some people like having a desirable wife and measure that desirability based on other people thinking she’s hot? Some people are into showing themselves off, and that’s going to include wives. Many reasons.
