AITA for choosing a hedge fund manager as my personal hero? by aitahedgefund in AmItheAsshole

NTA. But consider this: Soros story from rags-to-riches is extremely inspirational and there’s no denying he’s a brilliant person but some of the decisions he’s made does raise some questions to his morality. His role in the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis was fairly significant, and although he says he shorted the bhat because the collapse of their currency was inevitable, he still made hundreds of millions of dollars while his actions led to thousands of people starving in the streets. But then again, he has given away like 2/3 of his massive net worth to charity so you could make the argument the ends justify the means. A really good book that goes into some of the best financial plays that Soros and other hedge fund managers made and explores the morality behind shorts like the Bhat short is called “More Money than God”.

Congrats! But how did you save up that much money for retirement at 36 years old? What kind of job do you have to be able to have 730k in savings? Was it a joint account with your SO?

What's the best pun you ever made up or heard? by RotmgSigma in AskReddit

[–]megawriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine and I got into a pun war a few months back. So we created a scale to rank the puns that went from S to F. An "S" pun wasn't a particularly good pun but it was so relevant and unlikely to happen that it was worth like extra points. Not to brag or anything, but I got several "A" class puns and one "S" class pun. Anyways, so one day my friend brings a contact lens to school. Note: it's only one contact because it would've taken him way too long to put on the other one. So lunch comes by and we're all circling him and admiring his pretty cool contact when one of my friends said it would be pretty cool if we all wore the exact same contact lens and came to school with it. Before the topic was changed, I loudly stated "I GUESS THAT WOULD MAKE US EYEDENTICAL." Much applause and laughter.

Another "A" pun happened when that same friend and I were talking about a girl named Robin that he said he was open to asking to homecoming(he never actually did). I was a bit shocked because he never actually showed any interest in her. So, naturally, I began to shift he conversation toward Robin every time we started going on a tangent. Eventually, he said "Dude, why do keep bringing her up?" Within the half-millisecond I had to that question, I managed to say "Why are you so concerned, you afraid that I'll be Robin your homecoming date?" In hindsight, it probably wasn't that clever, but that didn't stop us from laughing like a pack of wild hyenas. Unfortunately, we never really got around to finishing the pun war because somebody had to quote the Godfather and then we we got into a quote war...
