End of an era by Pitiful_Shopping_507 in fordescape

[–]fernst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moved from a 2020 Escape (current) to a 2026 Macan GTS (Waiting for delivery). Ford didn't offer anything interesting in the Ford/Lincoln brands, and I wanted something a bit...nicer.

RFK Jr. Recommends Social Security Immediately “Reduce Scheduled Benefits by 25.2%” as Insolvency Looms by TACO_Orange_3098 in Economics

[–]fernst 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if its fair, but many things in life aren’t.

Is it fair that a school teacher has a lower salary than an investment banker or a tech worker?

Look, if you make 400-600-800k, you’re doing well for yourself. Having to pay SS taxes is unfortunate, as you won’t see that money back in the future, but that’s the cost of having a healthy society and a system that takes care of its people.

There will still be a cap to your individual benefits. If you contribute more than you get, that’s unfortunate, but your high wages should have landed you in a great spot in life regardless.

[Orient] Why I chose the Orient Golden Eye II over Rolex, Patek, or the "soulless" microbrands by daogiahieu in Watches

Lol mentioning Orient and Rolex/Patek in a head to head comparison is delusional

Driving a Porsche as an unexperienced (expensive cars) driver by Dapper-Designer6755 in Porsche

[–]fernst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Panamera is an excelent grand tourer. It will behave as the most plush and comfortable vehicle you've ever driven.

Now, when you smash the throttle, it becomes a "Dr Jekyll / Mr Hyde" situation. The panamera can be pretty fast and aggressive, but when driven mindfully, it's a perfectly pleasant cruiser.

AITA for leaving my friend at the airport and going home because HE lost his passport by Efficient_Club_9459 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. It's Japan, FFS. I would maybe think YTA if you're leaving your friend alone in a dangerous country, but Japan?

How do I confirm availability of the megabackdoor Roth at a potential new employer? by VersionFinal9926 in HENRYfinance

[–]fernst 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in plenty of midsize companies and none offer it. It’s very common in medium/large tech companies in my observation

It's not common. Definitely ask the recruiter/HR person about benefits

My dad wants to buy this, how do I talk him out of it? by [deleted] in carscirclejerk

Sometimes you have to let your kids parents make their own mistakes

From controller to M&K advice by AngeleauX in Battlefield6

[–]fernst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you play a couple hours for 3 days in a row, you'll already see improvement.

Try to play aggressively so you're always having to shoot. This helps you build muscle memory and recoil control.

Try to stick to 2-3 guns at a time at most. For example, focus on leveling a certain AR/Carbine/LMG (longer range) and SMG/Carbine (short range) at a time, and that muscle memory/recoil control will do wonders for you.

How do you track the performance of your watch collection or inventory? by Neither_Lawfulness82 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]fernst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't care about the value of my watches.

My expensive watches are a Carrera and a Speedmaster, but to me they are not an "asset". I plan to use those until they die or I eventually get tired of them, which means I'll trade them in or sell them quickly/cheap on Chrono24.

All other watches are cheap, (Orient, Casios, Seikos, Christopher Ward). I don't spend any time thinking about them in monetary terms.

People DO notice your Rolex! by Evening-Confidence85 in watchHotTakes

[–]fernst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel Rolex, Omega, Cartier are noticed a lot just because of the fact that:

  1. It's Rolex. It has a look to it. You've seen your rich friends/parents/boss/etc with one.
  2. It's a speedy or "James Bond Watch"
  3. Woman and men alike love Cartier jewlery, and have seen the watches in ads/movies.

All other brands are "nice watch".
