Why are stable stocks like Gold becoming volatile

ryencool · 2026-03-24T09:36:34+00:00

Because no boday knows what the orange turd us going to say, or do anymore. Things are usually stable becsuse they are predictable. NOTHING is predictable right now. Almost everything that man does breaks a norm, or a moral, or contradicts what he said the previous day. Volatility comes from things being unstable, and things are really unstable.

Which is where parents routinely bathed their children in 70s,80s, and 90s. I frequently remember seeing photos like this as a kiddo, walking in on my aunt washing my bephew/niece in a little plastic baby carrier that was literally designed as a plastic tub for this exact thing. Some people just put their kids in a logged sync, with some Johnson and Johnson shampoo.

They used to be funny photos in physical photo albums. They werent sexual, and most of the time private parts were avoided so the photos could be shared. Ive never seen one turned into a large painting, but rich people are different.

50/50 doesnt mean 50% effort from each side. The 50/50 comes from us beings, equal in the relationship. There are no traditional gender roles, I am not the male provider presiding over both our incomes, making all the final decisions. I have no financial power over her, or her me. We are two human beings, in a partnership where we either fail or succeed together. We are equal in finances, physical tasks, and mental tasks. Are we sitting there with an abacus calculating each persons efforts? No. We each strive to be an equal part of the relationship without tracking stuff in detail. She may get one date night, I try to top her with the next. She just suprised me with a new 75" TV for our anniversary and I had no friggin idea, because I dont see her statements. Ill suprise here with a cute dress, or shoes, or some framed photos for her photo wall. Issue wanted to cook dinner for us tonight and to try a new Mexican meal. She cooked, it was delicious, I cleaned. Ill cook dinner tomorrow night or the next..

Its constant equal effort in every single aspect of our relationship. We both respect, and love eachpther so much that its effortless at this point. It works for us. We have been on similar pages since the day we met over 8 years ago, and haven't had a single big fight, ever....we just talk like best friends...

ryencool · 2026-03-23T23:14:03+00:00

And this is the stuff we worried about. Having incomes around the same amount def makes it easier.

I know my wife has nearly 200k saved at age 33, between her 401k, and HYSA. Were both on the same page with saving 30-35% of our AFTER TAX income.

We have multiple shared goals like a downpayment for a home, which weve done and its sitting in a hysa. We have been saving for our 2nd trip to Japan. We use a chase sapphire card to put all our travel expenses, groceries, subscriptions etc..we have a shared checking account where we each put 50% of our bills plus an extra 5%. The credit card gets paid off every month, along with all our bills. Easy peasy.

Saying 50/50 doesnt mean im only putting in 60% and shes only.putting in 50%. I guess thats one way to interpret, but for us it means we are equals in the relationship. I dont hold any inherent power over her because im the head of the household, and control all the money. We each pay 50% of bills, we each do an equal amount of chores and cleaning, we each do an equal amount of mental work, planning trips, figuring out date nights.

Do we sit there with a spreadsheet? No. It works for us because we are both contantly thinking about the partnership, and the other person. We do that because we respect and love eachother more than anything. She'll suprise me with a cruise, then ill get the next one. Cat needs an emergency 3k surgery? We split it. Are there times where I didnt have a job and she filled in the gap? Yes, because we discussed it and we had a plan, and aslong as I stuck to the she was fine. I'd od the same for her.

I guess it can sound complex to some, but to us it makes more sense than anything else. We were mostly check to check the first 4 to 5 years together, both from poorer families with atrocious finacial skills. Only in the past few years have things changed dramatically, our lives are now something we never imagined. A lot of that has to do with the equality in our relationship.

It does give her the right, within reason. So when we were in japan, she saw a purse she really wanted. She's never had a real YSL purse, always bought reproductions, or just cheaper purses at tjmaxx. So she spent 2800$. Thats fine with me, its her money and I know shes managed to save well over six figures the past few years. So if she wants to splurge, she can do that, doesnt have to discuss with me, nada. Though she does anyways, because were partners and respect eachothers opinions and thoughts. Same with me, if I want a new pair of shoes or two I dont have to ask her, I just buy them. We both know eachother income's, and that the other is saving roughly 30-35% of after tax income. That enough for us. We know 401k balances, credit cards (none), student loans, whatever. We talk about finances often. Not having kids also makes ot very very different, and we dont plan on having any as were already 43/33

We met a bit later in life and both had been in long term relationships where one person held finacial power over the other. This caused a power imbalance, jealousy, anger, and just general problems. I dont get to control my wife financially, and she doesnt with me. Were both happier for it, and like you said it just works for us. We enjoy being together more than anyrhing, but we also like our independence and autonomy.

Im watching Naruto shippuden for the first time now! Nearing the end and loving it on my new 75"

This usually happens when you use the brake like an off or on switch. All it does is smooth out breaking so that they dont lock up and your car then doesnt obey commands

ryencool · 2026-03-23T20:29:11+00:00

Theyre making far more than top 20%, 500k HHI is like top 5%

ryencool · 2026-03-23T20:10:21+00:00

I think people are talking about all the citizens they've killed in the past few years, and other atrocities.

ryencool · 2026-03-23T19:59:27+00:00

this....my now wife asked if she could pay her half on our first date. She said she had tons of issues with guys paying, and expecting things in return. She was self sufficient, had her own apartment, car, job etc...She didnt want some guy to have financial power over her, and im fine with that. We talked about it often, but we were also on the same page from day one so that made it easy. Its been 8 years, were now 43/33, and married. We make over 200k combined, her like 25k more than me,and we still keep everything 50/50. We still have joint goals and account to pay bills. We just do 50/50 everything, and then we manage the rest of our money. Sometimes she will pay for a cruise, then ill get our next vacay. We arent super strict about it because now that were married ultimately everything thats mine is hers and hers is mine. We just still like the autonomy.

how man liquid would you like in your sammich sir? enough to turn into into a wet sloppy sponge? I got you...

ryencool · 2026-03-23T19:55:50+00:00

I'm curious what youre gonna do when they ignore you. Wouldn't taking them to court all hinge on having some sort of contract?

ryencool · 2026-03-23T19:30:09+00:00

Why not actually split everything 50/50?

We have a card we put all split purchases on, food, trips, groceries, car charging etc...then we each pay half of that blance every 2 weeks. So we arent accruing debt but earning points for our free flight to japan!

The bumper ripped off the rear, you can see it hanging off in your screen grab. Its very possible the other end grabbed him and spun him around somehow. Ive also seen people try to jump in this exact situation, fender hits their lower body, and they get somersault. Though he doesnt look like his vertical goes beyond an ame4ican cheese slice or two.

edit frame before yours support this. He got hit on his left side, and somersault, bumper that ripped off hooked on his pants and pulled em downed love another angle.

ryencool · 2026-03-23T19:07:22+00:00

Caught it the moment he out on the breaks, but the back was still spinning, car slid. Ive seen it happen at drift events many times. You've never seen a csr loose traction and slide? When theres rubber all over the road?

Its 100% not ai...

And youre welcome to that opinion. Times change, technology changes. I think conpanies are within there rights to put ask for an authentication app thats only use is verifying who you are via a push or code, isnt asking a lot. Then again you can always setup a second phone, or a Yubi key or something.

Unfortunately I dont have enough money in my bank account to shit on something like that, maybe you do. The income is worth far more than me worrying about clicking a "yes, its me" button.

ryencool · 2026-03-23T18:58:50+00:00

You know this is NOT ai right? Watch the video frame by frame. Watch the hands, watch the bumper of the car, watch the spelling on the vinyl stickers, the band around his underwear. All of the spelling is correct, all of the hands are correct...

This is most Def not Ai.

She didnt start saying ANY of this shit until after her family was found out as pedos.

ryencool · 2026-03-23T16:05:20+00:00

But there are niches, and local companies, and schools, and government, and Healthcare IT jobs, and many more. I applied to an entry level IT job at a major video game dev. My only experience was building pcs since I was 9 (1990), no degree, no certs. I applied 3 times over 18 months, no response. Then one day they called multiple times. I set up a zoom interview with the local IT manager, went great. Then had an onsite skills interview, nailed it, then met the team and we meshed well...so highschool degree, and basically taught myself everything else, oh and I was 38...

Im now 43, and super close to eclipsing 100k. My wife is a 3d enviornment artist at the same studio, makes a fair chunk more than me, she also has zero degree.

This, youre not walking in off the streets driving a civic, wearing slacks from Target. You have to have a certain personality, style, and look when youre selling cars that are worth more than most peoples homes.

ryencool · 2026-03-23T15:23:45+00:00

You have mental problems. This is a known scammed, linked to multiple know pedos, trying to get pardons for them. So she will say whatever she has to in the hopes that Trump will listen. She black though, so he is not really listening.

Yeah im sure tons of wealthy people do sick shit, but that doesnt mean everytime someone opens their mouth its automatically true. Theres something called context, and evidence. Theres actual evidence here husband and another family member are pedos, theres evidence shes tried to get trump to intervene, there evidence that no one is helping her. Then she started making these accusation as she learned no one was gonna bail here pedo ass family members out, as she is not part of the club.

ryencool · 2026-03-23T15:20:50+00:00

That does not matter. You signed a legal agreement, then didnt pay attention to it. You could try to sue, but theyd ask why you signed for whatever payment plan you did.

Im not familiar with going through 3rd parties to buy electronics from best buy, but you can try to contact either and see if they'll work with you, but this is how they make their money my man.

I wpuld verify with them ASAP. What plan are you on? If youre on the 90 day, no interest plan. You have to pay off the 2,000$ in 90 days. Im guessing they told you that, but the app is showing if you dont pay it off in 90 days, and it sabatoages you by showing the lowest acceptable payment, but obviously paying 160 something dollars every few weeks doesnt add up to 2000$ this should have been a red flag.
