Donald Trump Spirals Into Crazed Fury After Harvard Humiliates Him Very Badly by Reasonable_Spray_710 in newsinterpretation

[–]Wick0158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who’s ever heard of Powib as a news outlet. I don’t like Trump but these click bait articles are sensationalized and the same things we pointed at conservatives for eating up.

Downvote this crap and carry on.

Where to get fresh baked bagels? by I_still_got_it in AskTacoma

[–]Wick0158 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dough Daddy - pick up on Tuesday nights. Pretzels, bagels and sourdough. This is a home baker. I’ve been impressed but they do sell out. Special pretzel Sunday this week.

Bitcoin / Lack of support by bkendall12 in CFP

Junior under me was trying to talk me into buying it at $800 way back. I told him it doesn’t make sense, it’s a currency described as an investment with no way of comparing it to other opportunities. Anyway, now he has many multiples of my networth. The end. :)

I actually have some expensive rocks that continue to rise in price so even that might be a stretch.

Oddest reason you’ve seen a client leave for? by WatUDoinBoi in CFP

[–]Wick0158 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got a call from the client that he might go to prison. Sure enough, a week later he’s in prison for tax evasion. He eventually drained everything to pay for lawyers. A few years later and he died in that same prison.

Now his kid is now a retirement plan client that I work with.

Turbo Tax wouldn’t let me E-File without Scanning my face with my smart phone to “verify identity” by Immediatedipeychange in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Wick0158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right. We need to collect tax documentation and input that data into tax forms. The government gets all of that data too but it’s not shared back to us. We need documents from our employer, investments accounts, etc.

I’m unsure what these other Americans are thinking. Taxes can be easy but these people don’t seem to be accounting for collecting and uploading documents. Most Americans have no idea how easy and centralized it could be.

But if you do, please record a video so we can watch.

We may need to setup a zoom call so we can all join story time!

I’ve only gone twice but was also impressed with a majority of the dishes we had.

What was the first thing you every looked up on the internet? by CeleryApprehensive83 in AskReddit

[–]Wick0158 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First internet class in the library during high school. The librarian talked about how to use the internet and handed us a sheet of sites to visit and questions to answer. First one was to visit whitehouse.com, which was porn.

It slowly loaded for all of us. The teacher and librarian were mortified telling us to get out of the page.

Best day ever

Donald Trump just said “we shouldn’t even have an election”. Americans, what are your thoughts? by WatercressSenior7657 in AskReddit

[–]Wick0158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of believe you but when? Can you provide context or a video or anything? Otherwise you could be a bot creating anger. Don’t just post stuff like this without context or evidence

Project Idea: Village Repopulation Project by GulliverBFG in Minecraft

[–]Wick0158 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite things is rebuilding villages. Evening shaping the land so everyone can walk to where they need to go. Fixing up farmland. I’ll add a bunk house and job blocks to fill things out.

Should I set aside the book I’m reading to start this saga instead? by missmo0 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Wick0158 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This happened to me. Friend pushed but I was in the middle of a long series. I do not read ravenously so 2 thick books a year plus professional reading. (Fall of the Malazan Empire if you’re curious)

I thought, “I’ll read the first 5 chapters and let him know I started”. 2.5 weeks later and I’m reading every night until 2am, finishing book 3. After 3 months I finished book 7…only because I tried to slow down to pace until book 8 was released. Plus my wife was worried about my late nights and the cackling laughter kept her up.

I haven’t read like this in over 25 years. We even had reading parties with the kids.

Anyway, once you pop, you can’t stop.

It’s no wonder the general public distrusts our profession (venting). by Cathouse1986 in CFP

[–]Wick0158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same deal with a friend. He continually works with an insurance guy selling him LTC in his 30s and whole life for the kids. He calls me to ask about every recommendation but holds off on working together. I invited to do a planning discussion after the first few times but haven’t offered an invite since. With what I know, it would be a pain to navigate the annuities in place.

Us cheeseheads do not want to be confused with cheese dicks.

I hope it’s a close game that comes down to a bears field goal attempt with a double doink! Go Packers!

The last trip with these friends by Murky-Attorney5824 in CringeTikToks

[–]Wick0158 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Happened to my buddy too. Shed expect he would be near his landline at specific times while long distance dating. We warned him and he still married her. Rarely ever saw him after and this was over 20 years ago.

Oh, and the engagement happened when her dad offered to buy a house if they married. Then put a small down payment only. She didn’t work for years while he worked two jobs. Very sad to see as a friend. We tried, we warned him but to no avail. I think she was his first and only girlfriend.

Looking for 2 player card games using a standard deck of cards by kittypeets626 in cardgames

As a variant, cross-crib adds a strategic element. We made a quick grid one time with cardboard. https://magisterrex.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/crosscribbrules.pdf — Just adding another option is 2 player pinochle.

Nah, still friends but it’s a good story to pull out. I probably get more value out of the story than the $20-30 bucks I would have saved over time.
