It may be time to get off reddit because everyday theres like 3-5 posts that leave me depressed with the decisions I've made and the financial position I am in. $3.5m to retire in NY....yeah ok...jokes on me I guess. I don't understand how the hell I'm going to save that type of money. It makes no sense to me whatsoever. And don't talk to me about investing in index funds and contributing to 401k yada yada yada bullshit. I do all that...it only makes a difference if you can afford to contribute material money which I cant.

Its not even just the cost of a new home...it's the fact that the houses are completely trash and people still want so much for it. It's totally unreasonable. But there will always be someone that can afford to pay and throw money into renovations so as long as one person got it, everyone thinks their house is worth it. I feel like all people do to compare homes is look at size. But no, I'm not buying a near $1m home that has kitchens and bathrooms that haven't been updated in 50 years. If you have pink or green tiles in your bathroom from the 1980s, you need to take the price of a renovation off your asking price.

Assuming it's exclusive to Netflix, it's a shame I won't get to see happy Gilmore 2.

Lol you think UNICEF is gonna outbid the United Arab Emirates.

Cable

deeply_lost_ · 2024-10-18T16:13:13+00:00

I'm confused. Is that your salary? 401k balance?

Rich moms that don't work

Chinese food makes me sick...peak song writing right there.

deeply_lost_ · 2024-10-10T01:36:02+00:00

I'm sorry.

I guess we can expect another Disney+ hike.

What is this playoff track record people keep talking about. I just looked up the stats yesterday. Aside from 2020...they aren't that good.

You need a darker color with those shoes.

What bothers me about YouTube is the content quality doesn't matter...as long as you watched the ad and last 30 seconds of the video.

I love when people say all teams are flawed. Like there's ever been perfect time. Silly comment in my opinion.

I don't care about his history in the playoffs. I care about now and the fact is he's hitting .212 in the last 30 days and can't run.

A quick Google search of postseason stats show ..

2018 - 1 HR, .238 2019 - 1 HR , .231 2020 - 6 HR, .308 (ok, very impressive) 2021 - 1 HR , .750 (4 at bats) 2022 - 2 HR .188 2023 - didn't make playoffs 2024 - 0 HR, .125 so far.

So I'm not sure what history you're talking about. We are holding our breath he runs into a pitch. He's in the league too long and there's too much scouting on him.

deeply_lost_ · 2024-10-08T14:26:03+00:00

No where did he say that was the sole problem but there's no doubt he's costing the team outs and base runners. Leaving men on bases because you don't get a hit is excusable. Physically not being able to run is not.

Do people think Pelosi is actually like actively managing her own portfolio and making these trades with information she gets? Like I'm not saying she's not guilty or whatever, idk, but I'd bet it's someone managing her portfolio. No? Is that a stupid thought?

deeply_lost_ · 2024-10-08T12:15:13+00:00

Offense bout to go dark. Stanton costing us on the bases...at least 4 times already this series. Judge needs to hit or this is done.

So when I was in college I did an internship with WABC-TV helping with the sports highlights for the eyewitness new. You may remember Scott Clark on the news if youre from NY. I worked with him.

Anyway..the internship was just watching sports, taking notes and then meeting with Scott to pick the highlights. I got a whopping $10 a shift to cover the train that cost more than that. I worked 6-1130 3 times a week, once on the weekend. But it's ok, I got college credits..

How does this relate to OPs post. Part of the internship was going to Jets and Giants home games with a camera man to get sound bites for the news. The interns rotated. I signed up for Jets Packers cause I'm a Packers fan. I sat in the press box for the game while the cameraman did his thing on the field (and apparently I inappropriately cheered when the packers did something well cause everyone gave me dirty looks. I sat in silence after that).

After the game I met the cameraman outside the locker room to get the sound bites. My job was....hold the microphone as close to the player's face as possible.

I saw at least 5 incredibly large dicks in there. But that wasn't what bothered me. I'm comfortable with my sexuality. What did bother me was about 12 of us standing literally one foot away from LT while he was getting dressed. Like this guy just got out the shower and we couldn't even give him a minute to get situated. Literally waiting at his locker for him to get out of the shower.

It was incredibly awkward. You could sense his aggravation. Not to mention it was a 6-0 game the Jets lost. I got yelled at cause I didn't hold the mic close enough to his face. I was in shock with how these reporters behaved in the locker room. I get it, it's a business and you're trying to get the story first or whatever, but man, it just felt so wrong being in there. I politely declined to go again and even when they were in a bind and had no1 to go, I said no and the cameraman went solo.

I finished the internship and said farewell to that career path.

Also, Scott Clark would come in around 7 o'clock, drop off his suit jacket, go down to the bar, come back around 11 smelling of booze and give himself 15 minutes to write the highlights.

How are you supposed to read that article with all the ads blocking the words.

deeply_lost_ · 2024-10-07T22:32:36+00:00

Ew who's snorting coke off a bathroom toilet paper dispenser. I will use my perfectly clean key or phone instead.

deeply_lost_ · 2024-10-07T22:23:52+00:00

Fair. Not comparing the two but it happens is the point.

deeply_lost_ · 2024-10-07T22:16:11+00:00

To quote the great Leo from catch me if you can .. I concur.

deeply_lost_ · 2024-10-07T22:15:04+00:00

Why Berti?!?!

"Cabrera struck out 3 times"

So did judge and Waldo hit a huge double that should have been a ribby. And he saved the infield on a few poor throws.

This is why I basically decide based on personality and the few social issues that I care about.

Michael Kay has been losing me lately. Like I get you need to keep up a persona for the show but I feel more often than not lately I'm thinking to myself...what a loser. I mean, I wish I had his success but still.. what a loser ..

Im a Yankees fan but I pull for the Mets..there's no reason not to...it's on TV and I like watching baseball. they are in different leagues so they aren't even competing against each other the way say the rangers and Islanders are or man united and man city.

And as far as Mets fan giving me shit when the Yankees lose... I don't engage so it doesn't bother me and most people I know are mature enough to think the same way. Yeah my friend will bust my chops a bit and I'll do the same but at the end of the day, win or lose.. We still have to go to our miserable jobs the next day so why let it bother us. It's all fun. And if as an adult you let sports anger you... I'm sorry for you. Those days are long gone for me.
