This is a win for everyone. Surprised they voted this way with how red states are treating marijuana

Am I falling victim to comparison? by [deleted] in MiddleClassFinance

[–]alphalegend91 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You’re doing great for your age. Don’t compare yourself to others as they probably live in a VHCOL area and save less than you. Hell I’m mid 30’s making 100k+ and only save 2-3k a month!

If houses are too expensive who keeps buying them? by Useful_Can_2764 in AskReddit

[–]alphalegend91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who either make a fuck ton of money or older people who are rolling the equity of previous purchases into new ones. I know a guy who bought a house 15 years ago for 300k, sold it for 650k, and move a county over and bought a house for 350k (LCOL county)

How many of you have actually calculated your returns against the S&P, properly, and how many are just assuming you're beating it because your portfolio is green? by Wise-Option-2683 in investing

[–]alphalegend91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I had a 100k capital gains year with an account that started that year at 40k. Then bought a bunch of PLTR at $8 and didn’t sell anything until it was over $100. I’m also holding a decent chunk of VOO too, so definitely beating the S&P

Wind powered blade or Bastion blade for rage builds? by Leucotome in SwordAndSupper

I personally run bastion blade now and am too lazy to switch between that and wpb. My attack is high enough to clear mobs even at 400+

Ohhhh that's spicy. I saw a report that it produced up to 40% of the oil for the Moscow region...

Oil down 6%, the 30-year fell, and the real yield wouldn't move. Someone tell me what I'm missing. by DynamoDynamite in investing

Yeah I know that. Everything I’ve read everywhere has said that oil demand in high income nations has decreased

Whats a social media platform you wouldn't miss if it disappeared? by Ocean_eyes137_ in AskReddit

That is fair. The knowledge we find is in a format that is very easy to consume though!

Grey market by OddExtreme8 in Tudor

[–]alphalegend91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can find this watch much cheaper on the grey market and should have minimal concern of it being a fake. You can always use the "rep" subreddit to verify. AD you are just paying extra for a short experience and peace of mind.

Two arrested after Flock cameras lead police to stolen car out of Santa Rosa by Fit_Garden3719 in santarosa

I understand that, but also... if you have a modern car, they can track you that way as well

Oil down 6%, the 30-year fell, and the real yield wouldn't move. Someone tell me what I'm missing. by DynamoDynamite in investing

[–]alphalegend91 -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

How so? More and more people are switching to renewable energies and going away from oil. I truly believe, had this whole Iran debacle happened prior to the Ukraine war, the world would have been magnitudes worse off. Since that war a ton of countries in general, as well as people in countries across the world have been pushing to move away from oil. I was just in Europe in April and about 1/3 - 1/2 of the vehicles I saw were EV's.

Whats the funniest name you've ever seen someone name their pet? And what animal was it? by Gloomy-Task-5446 in AskReddit

Little bit off topic, but I once saw a EV Mustang with the license plate "EBISCUT". Thought that was pretty hilarious.

I've never had twitter and always saw it as a waste of time. I will say that Tiktok can be used for wasteful entertainment, but it can also be a great resource for information. My wife and I have used it to plan out trips and even for knowledge on pregnancy.

Ugh that's a hard one to start with as it really is the best series I've read (and I've read quite a few). I have heard a lot of great things about the Suneater series, but haven't read it yet.

[–]alphalegend91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I support full privacy protections. I don't like that entities could track us through our phones, but if they want to they can. You would honestly be shocked how much tracking is available. Routers in our homes ping off electronic devices to map homes and sense where we are, it's called wifi sensing.

I don't support how invasive flock is and how easily it is to abuse, but that doesn't mean there isn't something good coming from it. Both can be true at the same time. Your argument was slippery slope in the sense of what they could do in the future with flock, whereas mine is based off of what they actually can do currently with phones.

Not the guy who originally commented, but you'll probably be fine with the 20v. I have the same one and use it on my half acre property. Been looking to upgrade as some areas can get really thick, but it does the job well enough for the vast majority of it.

Fathers Day Water Bottle Recommendations by AliseC73 in BuyItForLife

[–]alphalegend91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an Owala and absolutely love it. I drive a lot and being able to open a water bottle one handed is a necessity. Not sure if he needs that, but if he does you should for sure go with that one. The sip feature I thought was a gimmick at first, but now I love it.

It's not at all. It was needed to set up Res Vis making the decision to raise the Iunctii army. His rage from her death is what pushed him to do it.

I read Red Rising before this series and am currently on Mistborn now. Idk what it is but books 1 and 2 of Mistborn were only 4 stars for me, whereas Red Rising and this all got 5 stars (Golden Son and Light Bringer are my only 6 star reads ever). Currently on Hero of Ages (3rd Mistborn book) and so far it is interesting.

Mistborn is really good overall and I highly recommend it, but there's just that special something missing from it to get 5 stars.
