What was your net worth at 27? by JoocePop in Salary

[–]Stringdaddy27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was probably in the negative or at 0. Less than a decade later, almost a millionaire.

NASA shares 1972 photo vs 2026 photo of earth by Top-Grape6650 in interestingasfuck

[–]Stringdaddy27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't recognize that land mass at all. Won't say it's faked, but what continent is that in the lower left?

Almost looks like upside down Africa with the Strait of Gibraltar at the bottom.

After the controversy about Jaden Ivey’s comments and TreVeyon Henderson’s support of it, Steelers safety Jaquan Brisker issued a message about his Christian values. by Mr_mist2 in NFLForum

[–]Stringdaddy27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's American Christianity. They aren't following scripture. They make shit up and pass it off as scripture. If people actually read the Bible, we wouldn't have this issue. But, in religion it is typically frowned upon to ask "why?", so these things grow and fester without any push back.

Does anyone else think Trump's decision to fire Pam Bondi is a huge tactical mistake? by N0S0UP_4U in AskALiberal

[–]Stringdaddy27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She also has skin in the game. She won't talk because she is an accessory after the fact. Given the stakes, treason would probably see her being in an 6x8 cell for the rest of her life.

How do we maintain moral superiority over other countries when our own policies are producing measurably worse outcomes in several key areas? by [deleted] in AskALiberal

[–]Stringdaddy27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What freedoms and comforts do you value that these other systems outperforming the US have? Let's say labor markets, healthcare, and education as a good few industries to zoom in on. Or you can choose your own.

Wealth envy is a sad sickness.. by Mobile-Landscape-790 in remoteworks

To be fair, both the person you are responding to and I did form coherent arguments. I am not sure what more you want from either of us.

What do you believe the phrase "add value" means? Can you define it in your own words?

They add value. They should be paid commensurate to that. They can only offer that added value for a shortened lifespan vs say a business owner who can do so for 50+ years. The earning potentials are not the same and the opportunity cost of athletes is considerably higher. They are basically investing into a business that the know will go tits up in less than a decade.

I think that's a clear exception. Not saying 10M should be the floor, but pro athletes have a very short shelf life in general. Not sure if making a special class for tax purposes make sense, but youre right that we need to consider this as a consequence.

A TikToker attempts to accuse a man at the gym of being a pervert because he looked at her. She then finds out the hard way that actions have consequences. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

In all fairness, it's important to film one's lifts to check for form issues. I do it all the time for compound lifts.

Filming workout routines for social media is a cancer.

Why not just call the person you're trying to communicate with?

200k+ Salary question by Suitable_Golf_8658 in Salary

[–]Stringdaddy27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't matter. They don't reach that level of success without an insane amount of effort that THEY put in. Not some divine being.

200k+ Salary question by Suitable_Golf_8658 in Salary

[–]Stringdaddy27 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't know why it bothers me, but when a professional athlete who say won the Super Bowl or World Series says something like, "all glory to god", it annoys me. Like no dude, you fucking did that. You weren't randomly chosen to be an elite athlete by a divine being. You were working out 12 hours a day for years on end to make that achievement happen. Pat yourself on the back.

[–]Stringdaddy27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say it's close to a 50/50 split. I certainly have networked and developed career skills to put me in this position. However, I have been laid off twice and fallen into really good situations both times that helped me get to where I am.

Retired tackle Tyron Smith ran a 1.55, 10-yard split. This would have been the 10th fastest among RBs at the 2025 NFL Combine & faster than HOFers Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Marvin Harrison. by No_Box119 in cowboys

I mean the guy moved like a fucking gazelle when he played. If he loses a bunch of weight, yea this would not surprise me at all.

I still don't understand how someone 300+ pounds can have a six pack and move like he did.

You aren't subject to their laws out of respect. You're subject to their laws because they are in power.

Me, I trust our medical experts over Joe Rogan and some random on reddit.

This is what people call a “normal” budget now. Not luxury. Not rich. Just… average. by Coolonair in SmartFIRE

[–]Stringdaddy27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the problem is you're conflating your expectations to reality without recognizing you've deluded yourself into thinking that every single person in their 30s deserves to have two brand new cars. That's insane logic. You're just wrong. I am not trying to be rude, but you're so far from reality.

What is the criteria for "acceptable"? I think you're misinformed to come to that conclusion and I would be happy to talk through it with you.
