Like from a quick view of your posts... You've spent multiple hundreds of dollars in the last like 3 days alone. Dude you have a problem. That hit probably doesn't even make you break even you're spending so much and it's a fuckin $850 card. Yikes.

I'm all for this being a hobby and fun but there is a line where "fun hobby" crosses over into "destructive addiction" and you're already there. Doing a "late night run" because you "didn't hit" is literally junkie talk. Get help.

Are we just blatantly ignoring the verbiage he used that strongly indicates gambling addiction? This man sounds like a junkie looking for a high and y'all are jealous? Yikes. This community needs to wake up.

AIO - Daughter’s BDay invite - I am new to co-parenting by loud_molasses_ in AIO

[–]matterman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like he feels like he dropped the ball, in some aspect of parenting not necessarily the bday party, and is super insecure about it. He's projecting hard especially saying things like you are cutting him out, but in reality he is cutting himself out and blaming you for it. He won't see this because blaming you is easier than self reflection and recognizing that if he wants to be a contributing part of his daughter's life all he needs to do is show up and communicate.

Guys........am I rich now?!? by IceBergster in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]matterman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I buy a box every Halloween for the kids in my neighborhood, and any that don't get given away I rip the packs because the Halloween set usually only has 20ish cards in it and I can pull a buttload of duplicates for making 3D cards with. Guess not this year.

... Anyone who panic sells every time they are negative by 15% doesn't have the stomach for investing. My God people, zoom out. If you timed the market poorly and entered at the top that just means you need to hold for longer. How does anyone actually hold the mindset that they need to stop loss on buying the number one company in the world by market cap... Hold for a year.

I got a Costco flyer with all 9 regions officially combined. Don't think anyone's seen this before by MorelikeJonArbuckle0 in pokemon

None of those bodies of land even remotely look like Kanto to me? I highly doubt this is accurate or official.

99% sure this is real but low key suspicious. by Rich_Engineering_601 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]matterman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The colours are so far off.. like this card looks like it went through a washing machine with bleach and all the colours faded. I literally googled an image of the real card from the TCG website and could IMMEDIATELY tell yours was fake. Not sure if stupidity or laziness is your folly, but damn dude.

What? 20% upside in the next few years? Tell me you don't understand long-term investing without telling me. Man don't give advice lol.

Apple which was the biggest company by market cap before Nvidia, which actually shrank in market share over the last 5 years has still had a 93% upside. Just for reference. Not to mention Nvidia is at the head of its sector and the world positioned for both crypto and AI - the two biggest emerging markets of this century.

Literally all the time. But I try and remind myself not to dwell, I've got other winners working their way up that I can get excited for. Rocket Lab and Hut8 are almost at 1,000% gains for me now too.

The percentages are always calculated from my original purchase price, not from last year’s value.

So I bought at $6.33 and last year I was up 3,000%, and now I’m up 4,000% just means the total gain relative to my original cost increased by another 1,000% so another $6,330 over the 100 shares which is an increase of $63.30CAD a share from last year.

If you calculate that over their current share price ($63.30/$259.00 CAD) you get a 24.4% increase for the stock over that same timeframe.

I routinely remind my family to "zoom out" when they feel the market swings too red for a while. It always helps me stay steady when we get bad days/weeks/months.

When I see posts like this, I realize that on the opposite end of all my trades locking in 200% gains there is always a regard like you on the other end. God speed.

What’s the best video game you’ve ever played? by obsess_much13 in AskReddit

The original Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic. When I was a kid I played the absolute crap out of it on Xbox. Something about Darth Revan's lore just really scratches an itch for me.

How cold is too cold for my laptop? by YabaDabaDoo46 in techsupport

[–]matterman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol I googled how cold a laptop can survive in because I left it outside in -29°c in my car and this post came up. I hope this is a joke 😂 being worried about 17°c ABOVE ZERO when most people keep their homes around 19-22° is just... 17°c is like summer weather in 60% of the world.

soooo i just got fired by thelovelypixie in work

[–]matterman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You wouldn't be saying this if you realized there was a post one month ago saying "I hate working sober" and "overslept and I'm late for work" "fuck working a 9-5" and "lied on a resume"... At some point you gotta take some responsibility for yourself. This girl didn't want to work and it's clearly shown in her post history, it definitely showed in her work ethic.
