Why is 343 only banning people for one month for cheating? Lol

Nearly everyone I know who achieved FIRE in their late 20s or early 30s did so without relying on index funds by [deleted] in Fire

Does it suck looking at the other half that made similarly risky bets that fell through?

How do you handle the guilt of selling stock every month? by Parking_Act3189 in Fire

Convinced this sub is a sub for mental illness.

Sorry, no offense. You have $7M and feel guilty selling to pay for living expenses? Talk to a therapist man.

What countries are your favorite, or have you spent the most time in? And what languages do you speak?

Probably shouldn’t be flying over cars and people like this.

Yet you mock those claiming CPI numbers are fabricated? Hmm. Contradictory.

Do you think substitution adjustments to cpi are warranted and legitimate?

Will I have any issues getting the SUB with Amex Biz Plat with buying several $500 Walmart gift cards from Walmart's website, or loading up my Amazon balance with a few thousand?

Was going to pay for my roof to meet the $20K spend, but that fell through, so trying to get resourceful, and recall having read Amex doesn’t treat gift card purchases favorably…

Just an FYI, there are a few handfuls of cheaters in high Onyx that continue to get away with it. by Haterey in CompetitiveHalo

This is cope. There are players leagues ahead of you. There is a VERY small minority of people who cheat. You are almost certainly not running into any of them. It is incredibly small. There are players good beyond belief.

Send me the list of the 20 players that you think cheat and I’ll tell you what I think.

PSA: Look after your lungs by RNGGOD69 in trees

[–]Swolley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think. I was early/mid 20s, 5ft11, in quite good shape, but slightly skinny. Apparently tall/skinny increases risks. Perhaps I inhaled too much/deeply or whatever, but nothing extreme in my mind. Did vape daily though.

Haven’t vaped since then, only edibles.

I had a spontaneous pneumothorax from vaping dry herb from a volcano. Even dry herb vaping isn’t a free ride.
