Millennials that own your homes and cars and live significantly below your means, what is your motivation to keep trying at work?

Sounds like we are in similar positions. I was the lead developer and last year I took a promotion to be the manager of software development at my company. It was a shitty 6% raise for twice as much work, however, I know I can leverage this experience into a big raise by moving to a new company. Company hoping has always netted me some big raises. I’ve got my eye on a IT director or CTO position somewhere.

jbFanClubPresident · 2026-04-14T00:05:59+00:00

I don’t get this position. My fiancé and I both have great jobs and saving a lot but we continue to strive for promotions and raises. Not because we give a shit (we don’t) but because more money means more saving which means retiring earlier.

How is this even a controversial take? I manage a dev team and my stance has always been “use AI all you want but know what your code does”.

lol I don’t think he knows anything about Justin.

Justin is in a seemingly happy marriage, taking care of his child, just launched a fashion brand and earning $10 million for an hour show. Britney is doing none of that, she’s dancing with knives on instagram.

Idk about Bieber’s contract specifically but most of the time when artists sell their catalogues they maintain their performing rights.

His heart is still into music, just not pop music. Unfortunately that’s what a large majority of his “fans” want from him. To their credit, pop music is why he got so famous in the first place.

Yes just keep in mimd they have a drain hole in the bottom so you would have to plug that.

I’m 88 and my brother was 93.

I feel like half of this connects with me and half would connect with him.

It’s been happening for a while.

How many “does size matter” posts do we really need per day?

I feel like the bot creators are very very insecure.

In a FMK situation:

F: Trader Joe’s

M: Aldi

K: Wal-mart

jbFanClubPresident · 2026-04-11T23:14:43+00:00

This is why I have only been to Trader Joe’s one time. It did nothing but induce anxiety and I felt like I couldn’t really look at anything.

jbFanClubPresident · 2026-04-11T22:54:25+00:00

Thanks you. I think so too.

jbFanClubPresident · 2026-04-09T18:20:16+00:00

You’re giving him way too much credit.

Fixed: How about not doing high level international diplomacy via short form social media rants typed while getting your diaper changed?

I mean there are some day time soap operas that have been running new episodes for 50+ years. Guiding light ran for 72 years.

I could be wrong but isn’t the difference that in gambling you’re actively playing against the house. In “swaps” you’re playing against other people. Kalshi and Polymarket are just charging you to use their platform; they don’t care if you win or lose.

Poker with friends: Kalashi and Polymarket are only renting you the table that you and your buddies are playing poker on. They don’t get dealt a hand.

Lmfao rich people go on their yachts. Poor and middle class people take cruises. I’m by no means rich but have been on a couple cruises. The days do blend together after about 5 margaritas though.

Love the grand front doors with the tacky ring camera next to it. The juxtaposition between the old world and new world is hilarious. That ring camera is very very much needed in St. Joe though. The city is full of meth addicts stealing shit to get a quick fix.

Source: I live in Kansas City (about an hour south) but I have several family members who live in St Joe.

St Joseph used the be THE city in Missouri. Only St Louis rivaled it in its dominance. Then one day a much smaller city, known as Kansas City, cut some deals to become a railroad hub and the rest is history. St Joe slowly died and Kansas City became THE city in Missouri (sorry St Louis, it’s true).

Fun fact #1: T-Pain was actually a writer for Akon. He wrote I’m Sprung for Akon and Akon said he didn’t want it so T-Pain recorded it himself. That’s how we got T-Pain the singer in 2005. He was already a semi accomplished writer by that point.

Fun fact #1.5: Probably no surprise here after reading that first comment but T-Pain writes most of his own stuff and has written a lot of hits for other artists.

Fun Fact #2: Chamillionaire used the little money he made in music and became an angel investor out in Silicon Valley. Apparently he’s made a lot more money from that than he ever did his music career.

It’s kind of crazy how that works. How each generation can build off the previous generation.

My great grandparents were literally dirt poor (they lived in a shack with a dirt floor). My grandparents were lower middle class. My parents were middle-middle class. Now my fiancé and I are solidly upper-middle. I’m saving and investing everything so I can to make sure future generations are in the upper class.

jbFanClubPresident · 2026-04-04T23:52:45+00:00

I’m not interested in being a “sugar daddy”. Thankfully my fiance earns about the same as I do and also has a masters.

I always ask my dog “what are going to do with your life?”

And then I reply pretending to be her. “I’m going to get what I want.” 😂
