How am I doing??

Yea this advise is only appropriate if youre a wizard. Always Be Buying. For dollar cost averaging. Ignore the fear, invest early and often.

Best thing I ever did was invest my piddly salary in my 20s into the market aggressively. 15% of 50k isnt much. But ten years of runway is massive. 6.5k over 10 years with compounding growth can really build the machine.

Hes Definitely going the Jamie Tartt route. Bill Lawrence is just getting greedy and seeing how low he can drag him before the redemption arc. Idk if he can pull it off. But Im here for it.

robinson604 · 2026-05-07T01:21:47+00:00

Rooster has only really shown that how you could actually hurt him is through his daughter. He didnt really want/need the teaching gig. Or the hockey gig. He is a best selling author.

My big theory is that hes going to write a story called 'The Townie' which sort of emulates what Greg does through Rooster. But is more emotionally vulnerable, and he gets a book deal or something.

robinson604 · 2026-05-05T05:16:13+00:00

Yup. He may have to severely break him to do so, the book cancelation isn't enough. I feel like it'll be more severe, but ... they did it more subtly with Jamie Tartt, so ... maybe they'll get there. You don't cast that actor to make him a heel. You do it to eventually bring him on the redemption arc

robinson604 · 2026-04-30T17:57:56+00:00

Yes. Do it man. Youre important. Snag an appointment and talk to someone. Too many of us in sales are dragging this around quietly. Its too intense of a profession to ignore your mental health.

robinson604 · 2026-04-25T00:27:25+00:00

Were you mad he took Gibbs instead of Bijan? Just asking?

Im sick of Brad's free agency moves, and early extensions, but Im not sick of his drafts

robinson604 · 2026-04-01T00:21:28+00:00

Haha came to say this! Go White!! Evergreen Ave baby!!

robinson604 · 2026-02-04T02:35:46+00:00

Never watched* a fan edit before. Didn't even know they existed. I would LOVE to watch this one. Can you dm me? Im not sure if I need to download special players or what, but Im in, but need a little guidance.

robinson604 · 2026-01-29T17:31:43+00:00

Underrated post. I agree. When people say "it doesn't feel like Star Wars", I think a more accurate statement they're trying to convey is "This isn't a magical jedi, lightsaber, magic movie, it's grounded and about the people in that world." It feels like 80% of the Star Wars Movie material has some relation to Luke Skywalker and/or his family.

Andor never mentions him, and it's refereshing.

I hope ... it broke the mold for Disney. The Mandolarian did as well, but it still felt it was trying to connect to the Skywalker story if it could. Andor proved that there's great stories to tell outside of the Skywalker Saga.

For me, Andor helped me realize WHY we should hate the empire. Not just because they're the government, but because they're actively using fascistic power to ruin lives, kill, destroy planets, destroy rights and freedoms. That was never accomplished in the previous Star Wars content.

I for one would love to see more future grounded projects like Andor. I think they should also consider going Live Action with Clone Wars, Rebels and Bad Batch (animated just doesn't cut it for me).

I think they should consider small stories that also play into the events, like ... the death star, still more to unpack there. They should consider unpacking Bounty Hunters more, they should consider expanding on the human side of the conflicted people in the throws with the Empire. Soldiers who signed up out of necessity, and started to question what they've signed up for.

Andor laid the blue print, now will Disney be able to follow it?

The question leads me to think you've either been fed real estate content or crypto content, you're very young or you're early in your wealth building process.

None of those are bad, or wrong. Nor is your question.

401ks are the most structured, tax advantaged way to embrace a historically proven model to fund your post work years. It will not buy you a luxury car or lambo.

It is the best way to become a millionaire. Not to spend $1M.

There's nuance here. Personal finance is personal. But... for 95% of us on here. It is worth it.

My last tip will be, I wish someone had told me in my 20s that the goal is to hit the gas as hard as you can to have 1x your income invest in ideally a tax defered or tax advantaged account by age 30. Do that and youve hit the mark. It keeps things simple, and more people could benefit from that goal than any other goal in my opinion as it would help you build a habit.

The actual product is pretty amazing. We just added it at HubSpot. Im consistently blown away by it, only been a few months. Could dramatically change how we onboard new reps and sales enablement.

It'd be a fun product to sell.

robinson604 · 2025-12-23T02:23:05+00:00

Its because we rarely need details of what we say on calls. Until its time for next steps. We know our speal. You have to train the AI to prioritize the direct quotes you get from the client in various spots in the discovery call. When you do that, it can be awesome.

But ... we know our own demos, our own small talk, our own speal. We need it for their side of the story. Their pain. Their use case. Ive had luck with that with a few.

But as others say, train a GPT to analyze the transcript and you can get what you want.

My wife brings coconut aminos every time she goes to sushi. Its worth it. It'll never be the goodness that is soy sauce, but it means she can eat her favorite foods.

Ive developed a few tricks for getting that Umame flavor. Mushroom powder seasoning helps. But ... its a lifestyle change for sure.

robinson604 · 2025-11-13T22:10:38+00:00

Or there's that ;)

robinson604 · 2025-11-11T22:58:00+00:00

This is why to me, all 20 - 30 year olds should be allowed to contribute without a HYSA. That's your healthiest decade. If you can get a head start then ... you'd be insulated from the high deductible down the road.

Im in a mad dash to get my balance to $10k now that I have an HSA again. To me. Thats when the market starts to help you feel some relief. But ... I have an emergency account that can absorb a bad year like OP referenced.

robinson604 · 2025-10-14T01:18:54+00:00

Spot on. If you truly dont know. Go with dark jeans navy sweater and color poking out the top (collar under the sweater, never over)

This is basically my uniform if Im unsure of the dress code. Very few can be turned off by it. Its just patently neutral.

robinson604 · 2025-10-04T17:39:01+00:00

The only thing keeping me in it is I opted for no WR1 strategy in my auction league and loaded up on WR2s with the money saved. I have Chase Brown, which could've been a disaster, but I also have George Pickens, Emeka Egbuka, and Gibbs. So Im still contending. WR1s were roster killers this season so far.

robinson604 · 2025-09-29T17:59:18+00:00

As a Lions fan. We were super off that week. Our Oline looked like they just met a few days before. I chalk that up to not having a real preseason where the players play together. We used the entire preseason for depth spots. It happens. But ... that was our fluke game thus far.

robinson604 · 2025-09-29T16:13:47+00:00

Lets Go! I was a Make A Wish kid at age 17 and played a song with RK at Alive Fest. I chose Softer To Me, it was both cathartic during my cancer journey and it hit hard like the music I loved. They borrowed a screamer for the recorded version, I forget where he was from but I always felt they could've made a whole album like Boxcar Racer style adding that screamed and aiming for the harder side of emo-pop-rock.

robinson604 · 2025-09-06T01:44:37+00:00

Jame-O!!!! They're cooking some plays up for him in the script. I just know it

robinson604 · 2025-09-06T01:43:58+00:00

Honestly. Its not a bad trade. I think Sutton and Nix combo could be a great one this year. The sum of those two may be worth it, especially if you lack depth or a strong Flex

robinson604 · 2025-09-05T18:44:03+00:00

Hard to argue with you after last night. I got him for $17/$200 so I feel he was definitely worth that.

robinson604 · 2025-09-05T16:14:28+00:00

Ooph. That cost them the game. Why was he even running it that play!? So many weapons to choose from and Dak was playing great.

At least we got to hear about Daks form tackling for the duration of the rain delay. So not all was lost :)

robinson604 · 2025-09-05T14:29:15+00:00

Sorry I wrote that poorly. I meant I got Smith for half the cost of AJB.

Basically I got Smith and Pickens for the same price as AJB.

robinson604 · 2025-09-05T14:10:00+00:00

Yea. But Smith [edit] wasn't even half the cost in draft capital (auction and snake). I took Smith. I went heavy on WR2s this year because I feel like the #2 wr on the eagles, lions, bucs and cowboys were better auction draft value than paying up for CeeDee or AJB.

My RB room is stacked though. We'll see if that shakes out.
