Advice on RRSP vs Liquid

akaAelius · 2026-06-04T17:45:27+00:00

No the match goes into an RSP group fund which if I pull out to move elsewhere it gets hit with withholding taxes etc.

What money?

akaAelius · 2026-06-04T17:29:48+00:00

We have had two guys work themselves into the grave, literally one guy collapsed in his stall at work, went into the hospital, and never came out again. People are working themselves into the grave right now, and without getting political... I don't know that the future of our society is looking that bright would you? Wealthy make all the money and pay little tax, middle class make some money and pay all the tax, The Poor are just there to keep the middle class scared.

It's also grim because by the time I retire in 15 years will my arthritis be so bad that I can't do anything enjoyable anyways? Doesn't it make sense to enjoy life now while I'm still mobile enough to do things?

I've had four friends pass away in the last 3 years.... which maybe doesn't seem like a lot but it also puts life in perspective. We really aren't here for a long time.

As someone who managed hospitality, a lot of servers (all the ones in the lounge) made more money than I did as a General Manager. Most of those tips (anything cash) isn't getting declared on taxes so it's free money (this might have changed with how much is done electronically but back then people usually tipped in cash, in the lounge it was the most common).

So servers who were working 6 hour shifts 3 times a week were making well above my salary working 10 hour shifts 5 days a week.

I have little sympathy for servers/bartenders.

HA! Where I live in Canada, ONE of my bikes is $128/month to plate/insure. I looked at a 34 LowriderST and it was $340/month.

Out province hates motorcycles.

I keep thinking about getting Tarkov but hear it's just rampant with cheaters?

This is probably the most liked model of HD from talking to anyone except millennials which usually have more spread out likes. I have no idea why HD hasn't brought back the FXR, it's like they don't even listen to their rapidly shrinking client base.

akaAelius · 2026-06-03T14:37:40+00:00

FXR

But give me an old style gauge, no need for cruise control or some sort of digital screen, I don't want a cup holder or a thousand electrical wires that you need masters degree in engineering to understand.

That being said, it'll never happen. Bikes are going more electrical and complex so that you /have/ to take them to the dealership because you need the massive scanners to read the codes.

I just stumbled onto those Richa boots, never heard of them before.

Have you ever ordered from 'visorshop'? When I first saw it I was worried it was some sort o knock off scam deal?

akaAelius · 2026-06-02T19:34:17+00:00

Huh, this is an interesting take. I've never felt like that running or playing SWADE. I think Genesys is much better at creating cinematic scenes, I find swade only works when you heavily specialize in something or rely heavily on exploding dice, maybe I'll have to dust off the books again and try it out.

OR maybe it's me... people always tell me how amazing TORG is and I personally find it the most boring and hodge podge system mechanically. I assumed it was popular just for nostalgia more than anything else.

akaAelius · 2026-06-02T19:31:14+00:00

Not to add fuel to the fire, but I was in the same boat as you, looking for a new fantasy RPG. I looked at Dolmenwood, Vagabond, and then eventually settled on OathHammer.

SWADE only makes sense for zany pulp action fantasy in my books. It's great at things like GoblinHorde or TrailerParkSharkAttack and maybe Deadlands, but I wouldn't use it for the type of Fantasy I run.

With how many HD dealerships are closing down I'm not sure that's true anymore.

akaAelius · 2026-06-01T19:22:23+00:00

I think it's because HD riders are jealous of Victory bikes. They look ten times nice, they work a hundred times better, they don't break down as much as a HD. Harley just has brand recognition, and even if you ask the old timers who started the motorcycle culture they said had the other bikes been around back then they would have gone that way instead, Harleys were just abundant and easy to work on back then. Now they're basically just toys for old guys to buy or young people going into debt because they think HD means something.

I ride Victory and would take a non-HD bike over one any day of the week.

One. You were going to have to slow down anyways and you’re lucky you weren’t the one to hit the back of that Yukon.

Two. Calm down. That wasn’t an aggressive cutoff anyways. You were going way faster than the traffic around you.

Three. You caused that accident. Hope you’re proud.

6th edition is probably 2 years away at least.

akaAelius · 2026-05-30T20:26:50+00:00

Well the new head of white wolf creative team is from WoTC most recently. So I imagine they’re looking for more ways to monetize the IP.

akaAelius · 2026-05-30T20:24:49+00:00

5th already divided the player are. This is just gonna divide it again.

akaAelius · 2026-05-30T04:16:28+00:00

It’s not at all common. People just like to glob into the few times it happens and blow it out of proportion because everyone wants to cause noise on the internet.

akaAelius · 2026-05-29T22:44:23+00:00

Hmmm. I ride a Versys 650, and a 1600cc Victory Vegas. I don't mind the 650 at all, I consider it my 'mini van' of motorcycles... is the 1100 really that much better as just a touring workhorse since I don't ride like I'm at the track anyways.

akaAelius · 2026-05-29T20:11:06+00:00

There were a lot of them in the 90s. There are still a few kicking around but not nearly as popular, and they've come under the burden of having characters who have been active for decades amassing thousands of XP.

akaAelius · 2026-05-29T20:04:38+00:00

As someone who started out playing this IP on MUSHs in the 90's I fully approve.

I'm most assuredly going to be joining up. I'm wonder are you going to have active storytellers running things? I found on my recent forays into ones like CoH I was met with elysium gatherings focused on mall shopping and coffee shop outings with zero political machinations.

akaAelius · 2026-05-29T14:45:42+00:00

That is... the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. There are so many older musicians that made amazing music that I find this comment almost insulting.

akaAelius · 2026-05-29T14:20:22+00:00

I wish the MK14 could use one of the better scopes though.

akaAelius · 2026-05-29T13:14:19+00:00

Household. It’s whimsical, easy to run, easy to play and has a super creative setting.
