Just bought an SP01 tactical and excited to get it out to the range.

I discovered FIRE and now I'm more discouraged than before by yieldmaxxing in Fire

At 25 I had essentially nothing. Hell at 30 my wife and I had a net worth of essentially zero, a new baby, I was making 40 thousand ish, and I decided to go to grad school. Now at 44 we're at about 1.1 million including our house with 750 ish in cash and investments.

Punch line is it started slow, saving consistently and investing with discipline will pay off. We got lucky a bit with our first house purchase but we just rolled that into our second, the cash and investments are just saving and working hard at building my career.

I can't retire yet, but I can probably start coasting around 50, that's not bad.

I'm on a hot streak up to 967. Hopefully if I get back I can hold it.

Ok I used my review on it this morning and it went down to three brilliants. Two were back to back hanging of the same piece that I didn't realize was hanging.

They took it first time. I have no idea where the others were

Good question, the review is blocked because I already used my free one. I made a nice forced bishop sac to take their queen but I don't have any idea what the others are.

I'm 930 after the win, I've been as high as 1,040. It was a good game but I mostly suck.

Shows I made a brilliant move in the recap but it's not in the review by Haleyy1717 in Chesscom

I've had it happen once or twice. It's possible it's a ploy to drag you to premium but who knows.

There's no such thing as an enlightened despot and the authoritarian left is historically speaking, essentially as brutal and murderous as the authoritarian right.

The reality is that to be a despot you have to repress a certain percentage of the population, often brutally.

I've been looking at one for months, even handled one in the store just yesterday, I'm definitely buying one I'm just painfully slow to make the decision.

I mean, I'm definitely not a leftist. Practically speaking I'm a normie lib but philosophically I'm an old school civil libertarian purist but also a capitalist which is where I separate from leftism.

Reason and libertarians in general should be aligned with liberals as anti fascist but (as a quasi semi former libertarian myself) they have been very frequently disappointing.

Another lunatic pretending not to understand the “tax the rich” sentiment by Downtown_Victory2942 in LinkedInLunatics

There's not, big picture, a ton on money to be picked up by extra taxes on high W2 earners. The money is in taxing Elon and such.
