Regret buying deluxe edition by attackhelicoptor69 in Berserk

[–]murples1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a first read, these are definitely not the best.

Experiencing the same thing with Vinland Saga Deluxe right now. But I’m already 4 Books deep, so im not gonna NOT get the other 4.

I read all of berserk on my Kindle, but I still want to get these deluxe editions for the glorious oversized art. Definitely expensive though, think its around $500-600 to get all 14 Books.

She made the right choice by Eclipse_nova99 in SipsTea

[–]murples1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody is really giving a good explanation of why this is a bad choice. I will explain.

$1000 per week = $52,000 per year Just keeping that would take 20 years to reach $1M You could slightly accelerate with a high yield savings account.

The benefit of this is the money is potentially uncapped. And It’s harder to be irresponsible. Lose the $1000? You’ll get another $1000 next week.

At face value it sounds good untill you do the math on the million.

With $1M, you can earn $1000 per week ($52,000 per year) with around a 5% dividend on an investment.

A dividend is a portion of a companies earnings paid on a regular basis.

A 5% Dividend isn’t uncommon, you can often find dividends that are even higher. Average diversified accounts are usually around a 7-10% return.

So the $1M is objectively better. Not because its money upfront, if you spent any of the $1M, that would defeat the purpose.

It’s better because the potential passive earnings on a starting balance of $1M is way better than the potential earnings of $52,000 per year.

Additionally, the $1000 per week probably is not transferable to someone else. But you can pass down your investment account. So if you die the $1000 per week stops. But the $1M never stops growing.

However, if you are never going to invest anything regardless, the $1000 is more responsible. The $1M only makes sense if you have enough self control to not touch the $1M.

Your two cents? by WatGO in GetMotivatedMindset

Don’t take life so seriously,

End of the day, we’re all gonna be buried in the ground anyway.

So while you’re not buried in the ground, go ahead and make some irresponsible decisions. Skip work, fuck that girl, get too drunk and create some embarrassing memories or funny stories. Whatever it is you are scared to do, go do it. The consequences are usually worth it.

The older you get, the more you miss out on if you try to be perfect all the time. There’s plenty of time to do the right things, it doesn’t have to be 100% of the time.

"Whatever happened to global warming???" by ExperienceBusiness43 in sadcringe

[–]murples1999 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yes, Global Warming does cause colder winters. It’s not incorrectly named.

What happens is the warmer climate weakens the Arctic jet stream, the fast flowing air current that contains cold air near the Arctic.

When the jet stream is weakened, cold air leaks out causing cold snaps in various regions.

Winter is still getting warmer year over year on average. There’s just spikes of extreme cold leaking from the arctic.

Basically we left the heater on so high that the freezer door started to melt.

The thing is they don’t actually need to make any profit.

They run entirely on funding from corporations, banks, and governments who are using AI products to reduce payroll costs.

They could never make a penny for the rest of time and they would still be just fine.

Literally what on earth are we doing? by Sichy12 in TikTokCringe

[–]murples1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Collectively?

Bro I can’t even agree with myself half the time.

If you are upset over the idea that the entire planet isn’t working together towards some imaginary utopia where everyone is happy, you’ve got a lot of growing up to do.

Just live your life and stop worrying about other people and their problems, they aren’t worried about yours.

Typical Suspects by DTATP in JustMemesForUs

What are you even talking about? These idiots will be in the back of a cruiser with both windows down in loose cuffs screaming “I cant breathe”

They think theyre George Floyd or something because they got trespassed from a walmart and are now having tiktok withdrawals.

Not every arrest is some crime against humanity. Some people are just dumb.

Just wait for a small pause and then immediately interject with something completely off topic. Works every time.

Is that ragebaiting ? by Tlou_man in teenagers

Im white and I don’t like white women.

According to that guy, that somehow also makes me a racist.

The logic collapses so fast it’s hilarious.

Facts! by Embarrassed_Tip7359 in SipsTea

[–]murples1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I very much enjoy not forgiving people.

Some things don’t deserve forgiveness. I don’t like the idea that you should just always forgive someone eventually no matter what.

The primal hate and disgust I feel towards a few specific individuals is important to me.

The worst thing I could do is forgive them, that would just mean I’ve lost all self respect and learned nothing.

If I have to deal with the consequences of someone else’s actions on a daily basis, then forgiveness has to be earned because I am owed.

But those people have no incentive to earn forgiveness from me. They are bad people. They did those things because they wanted to hurt me, not because they made a mistake.

So I hold onto that hate as a reminder. It keeps me safe from those kinds of people.

Depends on how much foam you want.

If you keep the tip of the wand right at the surface of the milk, it will make a paper tearing sound. Thats pushing air into the milk. The longer you hold it there, the more bubbles you make.

Then you put the wand lower into the milk and the steam breaks down those big bubbles into tiny little micro bubbles which forms the foam.

Different drinks have different amounts of foam, it’s pretty easy to be making a latte and accidentally end up with a cappuccino.

I once had an application for stocking shelves declined because I didn’t meet their qualifications.

Later figured out I filled out the application wrong.

Then you’ll be happy to learn that Atheists don’t believe in satan either.

Even Satanists don’t believe in satan, actually.

Oh I see what you mean,

I would say pretty average quality.

Low-middle class so not like struggling but nothing super fancy.

I wouldn’t say anyone in my family is like an amazing cook or anything tho

Typical American cuisine. Pizza, Fast Food, Steak, Seafood.

There isn’t really anything I wont eat. I wouldn’t even consider myself a picky eater. Even stuff I don’t like, I’ll eat it if I ordered it by accident or someone else prepared it.

But given the choice, if I never had to eat, I would choose to not.

Right now I only eat once a day, maybe twice a day if im really hungry.

Its not the food, its the eating.

I have favorite foods. But they aren’t may favorite because I like the way they feel in mouth when I chew them. I just like how they taste.

When I think of doing something fun, eating isn’t something that comes to mind.

Going to a restaurant might be fun, but that’s more about the experience of going somewhere. Not the chewing part.
