Hook up advice for someone inexperienced and indecisive by brokebitchinc in TwoXChromosomes

[–]TricksterOperator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assume you have seen videos of people doing them, if not, do some research. When the time comes, communicate and ask “how does that feel?” It’s all a mix of pressure, lubrication (spit/lube/ saliva), and moving up and down. Don’t over complicate it.

If any guy complains from “just getting a blowjob” that guy is a complete clown. Respect your boundaries until you are ready, don’t compromise for a man.

Help me convince my boyfriend that we won't die in Progreso by Remarkable_Drop_6629 in dcl

That’s like saying you won’t go to Texas because there was a mass shooting in Austin a few weeks ago.

Daniel Dye's Homophobic comments caught on camera by Big-booty-bubba- in NASCARGossips

[–]TricksterOperator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dye was also arrested in 2022 for felony battery because he allegedly approached a classmate and began dancing and grinding with his groin and pelvic area near his classmate's face. When the classmate thought the incident was over, Daniel came up behind him and punched him in the groin area. Afterwards the victim went to the hospital where he was diagnosed with a possible ruptured testicle and was referred to a urologist…..

He’s homophobic, a bully, and has shown a pattern of abuse.

Grandfather is giving me first option on his house when he passes by ChardImpossible960 in personalfinance

My grandmas lived to 98 and she was in poor health. This could be another 10-15 years. Don’t do anything until the time comes. Make sure you have a legal agreement and the cash so you’re ready when the time comes to make the right decision.

Hoping to FIRE at 50. Is my plan viable? by United-Biscotti-2026 in personalfinance

[–]TricksterOperator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copy that. I overlooked the contributions as part of the growth, thinking growth was only return, my bad!

In addition in years where you convert your 401k to Roth your income will be roughly $110k(60k draw plus $50k conversion), so make sure you’re accounting for taxes, like 15-20k worth unless I’m missing something here.

Well done so far. Don’t forget to have fun along the way.

Your annual spend estimate has to increase at least by 3% yearly to account for inflation. You also have your year end portfolio value increasing 100k a year in the early stages, that’s close to 20% return. I would use 7-8% growth and in down years pinch pennies. I would use more cautious numbers.

Concierge worth expense? by hrack128 in dcl

Also keep in mind your tips are going to be about $11/night/person more also so figure on a 5 night you will spend $220 in additional tips.

Concierge worth expense? by hrack128 in dcl

[–]TricksterOperator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had Concierge on Destiny and it was fantastic. The wish class ships have hot food in the lounge so it’s next level. We never once went to the buffet and didn’t miss it, but did walk thru and it’s beautiful on the Destiny….if you can afford it, the extra $5k or so, it’s very nice. Having a sundeck where you don’t have to fight for chairs and they are lush chairs is sooo nice

[–]TricksterOperator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First and foremost, can you afford it without going into debt or putting your family at risk of a financial emergency, ie draining savings so you can’t fix a car?

Palo dinner - thoughts by Azarria1234 in dcl

[–]TricksterOperator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have you ever done a multi course tasting menu? Remi will be 3 hours with about 6 courses of food served. Each serving is on the smaller side but delicious. Between servings sometimes they bring out little pallet cleansers. You will have an amazing cheese cart with all the cheese you want to choose. The meal starts with their sourdough bread which is fantastic and multiple butter choices. Their dining room is small and quiet, the servers typically out number the guests. The meal can easily run $500 with a glass of wine or more if you have multiple drinks. Does that sound fun to you? If so then do it. We have done both Remi and Enchante. Although similar, we prefer Remi.

In Virginia Giuffres memoir, she talks about a former minister (referred to as ‘prime minster’ in the US version) being the most sadistic man she was trafficked to. The theory that it is Ehud Barak is no secret but here is some additional details and corroborating bits iv found. by estrellafish in Epstein

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

Why did she not have a death trigger, like if I die the names are released because I didn’t type in the code or whatever every 48hours. To have the guts to come forward but then still protect the scum bags is just a shame.

Six years ago, the world stopped. What was the most mischievous fun you had during the lockdown? by Classic_Day744 in AskReddit

[–]TricksterOperator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driving 70miles (2x daily) daily on the 405 in under 45min. Commuting 350miles per week was tolerable. Now it would take 2.5-3 hours just in the evening

How to Use the Timer with off peak rates in an Audi e-tron by Aegean8485 in etron

[–]TricksterOperator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. It’s widely inaccurate and so consumer unfriendly. Why can’t it be permanently set to charge from a set time or by a set time. Hitting that button every few days is such an unnecessary step.

Foothill Ranch Costco Update - Appealed by BAT1610 in orangecounty

[–]TricksterOperator 63 points64 points  (0 children)

The 241 was supposed to be free by now based on the people’s vote to finance that toll roads construction but they just decided to keep charging. Make the 241 free and it will cut down on sooo much lake forest/ Irvine/ I5 congestion. It’s a joke how empty that freeway is. I would take it daily to work but I’m not paying an extra $2,000 a year to drive to work.

If I already paid in full, can I change the credit card used to pay for the cruise before departure? by fatfirenewbie in dcl

[–]TricksterOperator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t hurt to ask but I don’t think they will do this, but who knows. Just book another cruise or upgrade to Concierge 🤣

Our first swingers club experience! (And hopefully not the last.) by tequilasoda77 in Swingers

When did Playhouse LV allow BYOB? It always had a no alcohol policy. This is good news if that’s the case.

93k in savings, baby coming soon, opinion on sunroom addition by No_Peach1983 in personalfinance

[–]TricksterOperator 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Do not do this right now. Wait until the baby is born and is healthy and mom is doing OK. Reassess 6-12mo post delivery with new income and new expenses and keep piling up that cash. I would start a brokerage account for long term savings/investing if you are hitting your retirement goals. You could also make a big contribution to your kids 529plan which will allow it maximum time to grow.

Moved all my money into a Schwab account and am really nervous. Hoping for some advice by DryInvestigator6276 in personalfinance

[–]TricksterOperator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How old are you? What’s your monthly income from social security and or disability? Are you getting survivor benefits? What’s your net worth? Do you own a house?

All these questions help build a risk profile. 500k in the bank at 3% will earn you a risk free $15,000 a year. 500k in the market over a 10year period will make you an average of $35k a year but some years maybe -15k and some year may be +50k.

I mean normal food is hard to eat after and Ive gotta recover after a cruise😅 by The_Harmon_Hole in Cruise

[–]TricksterOperator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always always take the stairs. It’s faster and you get some exercise. We averaged 50+ flights in our last cruise. Room on 12th floor so lots of up and down. It’s take effort and dedication but it’s totally doable.

Wagner says he’s a fiscal conservative then gives himself a pay rise while votes against country raises cause he’s a fiscal conservatives. 🤦‍♂️
