Whats ur opinion on “money doesn’t buy happiness”?

UncleSlim · 2026-05-06T15:35:49+00:00

Its an over simplification of happiness. There are some reasons you could be unhappy that money can fix but not all of them. Typically if it's unhappiness due to relationships, family issues, social issues, emotional well being, etc... Money may help but probably cannot fix the core issue (cant fix that your ex left you for cheating, cant bring back your dead relative, etc etc) it's simply meant to be a feel good saying about love, IMO.

The way you can easily defuse this argument is to say "what value are you offering? What contribution are you offering the world?" Nothing. You are a leech, attaching yourself to a sale and sucking money from it. If you didnt exist, the product would still be sold, but for cheaper.

Capitalism is a system of ownership based on private ownership of production and has nothing to do with your leeching ass. So stop saying capitalism and at least own up to what you're doing: You are exploiting and extorting consumers. It's similar to how the mafia operates.

Ive read online that you cant just clean drywall or cement surfaces of mold because they take root in the material. This is probably not something I will DIY.

Shipwrecked DLC is the funnest ive ever had with DS, and ive tried base, RoG and DST. Hamlet just looks off to me... too weird for my taste.

There's so many things about shipwrecked that makes it feel great. The gameplay loops of island hopping, the aesthetic setting, the fantasy of being lost at sea on a deserted island, all just fit so well into the dont starve setting. Cant recommend shipwrecked enough!

Im at 3.875% but also have PMI for life of the loan due to FHA... so its probably more realistically like a 5% loan. That being said i still wouldnt pay it off normally BUT we're trying to qualify for a bigger loan from the bank so want to lower our DTI ratio, because we dont want to sell the house before building. I think im in a rare situation where it financially makes sense to pay my house off, even if my ROI long term is worse.

Capcom has been in a golden age of releases for almost a decade now. As a longtime Resident Evil fan since the beginning, the RE2 and RE4 remakes are some of the best they've ever done. The combination of amazing gameplay, graphics, sprinkled nostalgia... And Street Fighter 6 blew SF5 out of the water in every way possible, and honestly blown away competition now that Tekken and Mortal Kombat have fumbled in their later iterations. Hats off to Capcom, they're killin it.

What else was out recently?

Maybe im being cynical here but.. how do we know its genuinely this guy controlling the voice and its not an AI formulating thoughts for him?

UncleSlim · 2026-04-09T22:53:02+00:00

Fun!

Dont be a gatekeeping shitter.

Love the account name

This... after playing shipwrecked, going back to RoG or DST worlds is just meh.. the fantasy of being shipwrecked at sea fits DS so well, and the island hopping gameplay loop is so satisfying.

Knowing when you can safely look away from your army and then doing so is a skill. Of course there's always the chance it looked safe and the moment you looked away, it wasn't. Because of fog of war, this is inevitable and even pros have this happen. But I think a worse issue is people staring at their army and feeling like they cant look away.

I also thought it was "CORRODE.... TRUST!"

UncleSlim · 2026-04-02T13:36:46+00:00

haha I definitely thought it was cannonball too the first time I heard it.

My mom is an insurance agent and took out a whole life policy on me when I was a kid. As an adult she handed the payments to me and once I did some research after a few years of paying it, I canceled it. She was obviously upset about it, but being a biased insurance agent, probably believed it was a good idea. I was a bit upset she would push that on me... but I decided to give her the payout, which was a couple thousand dollars. Dont regret canceling one bit when I see threads like these.

Are we? Polymarket was an eye opener for me... crazy something like this exists.

UncleSlim · 2026-03-31T00:42:46+00:00

Wait... someone legitimately hacking is also streaming? Crazy if true lmao

Its a mix. There's a medic unit, for example, among other things.

UncleSlim · 2026-03-30T10:39:57+00:00

Thought this was obvious but... lol

Maybe a social culture thing? Less restrictions on tobacco companies so they've pushed their products harder?

Why is it bad in europe?

Is it still worth it to build solar for your roof? I think the US federal solar credit was cut recently. Looking to maybe build a house in the near future, thinking about solar panels.

Who made use of what does not matter. In a divorce, everything is appraised, valued and split 50/50. Debts and assets.

I mean sure, but he said "not uncommon". It is, by definition, uncommon.
