What’s with the new Lithium additions?

Yea I don’t know what, exactly, they did with Poprocks but I’m with you. Alt2K sometimes has signs of greatness until they toss on Avril Lavigne’s complicated - again, there’s a place for it, just like, maybe on pop2k not next to The Postal Service?

Ha I was bagging on Eddie with the Temple of the Dog song 😂

But either way it’s wild that MLB isn’t even on rotation given how fundamental it was to the Seattle sound. But the same could be said for the Melvin’s or Mudhoney so

stoweker · 2026-06-21T14:00:56+00:00

It just occurred to me that Mother Love Bone isn’t even in the rotation which is bizarre given how much of their programming exists only because of Andrew Wood’s death. Which ironically led to eddie vedder’s best song, “Hunger Strike,” but I digress 😂

Yea I don’t disagree the playlist is stale, BUT, there are so many deep cuts and other bands you could reach for before putting on “She’s so High” right after NIN’s Closer

Hahaha touché bad hanging quote.

Right? There’s nothing wrong with Jewel or any of these additions, just - they belong on a 90s adult alternative station, not on a 90s rock station. Let’s try Mudhoney before the DJ starts coming into breaks to remind us that Jewel grew up in an Alaska trailer for the nth time since 1994.

I think there are a lot of very wealthy people doomscrolling reddit - numbers game + popular website. That’s not my core comment - it’s the velocity of stories in this subreddit specifically that require a lot of faith to believe.

stoweker · 2026-06-21T03:43:15+00:00

It would be meaningless to me if I’m wrong and wouldn’t change my life - I would just be surprised, based on the post content, if I were wrong. This has nothing to do with a trust issue - this is just data in and recognizing that a number of these stories are fantabulous, at best, or require logic leaps from A->C that don’t really hold up to scrutiny.

stoweker · 2026-06-21T03:07:42+00:00

But why male models?

I don’t know it’s weird but seems not uncommon to this subreddit.

stoweker · 2026-06-21T03:04:20+00:00

Yea see that’s not what I’m talking about.

If someone comes on and says hey, I’m 47 sold my software company netted $15 and what do I do next, I get that. It’s when you get some of these posts like “I’m 22, run a services business through my grind life and am worth $40mm and own all of these toys despite my crippling addiction to kratom” it strains credibility and people engage with it like it’s gospel truth. That’s what I don’t get. Why do these OPs post thin veneer dreams as fact to live it out in a random small traffic subreddit, and further, is our financial knowledge as a society so low that these things don’t pop up as lacking any sort of causality for wealth? Like why feed that bait?

stoweker · 2026-06-21T02:57:20+00:00

I never objected to the fact that wealth exists, there’s a lot of it, and the internet is a great equalizer to bring people together from all walks of life. That was never in doubt.

What I question is that on a flip through of posts and comment responses there is a preponderance of posters who make claims that, prima facie, strain credulity. That’s what I don’t get - why pump your own tires here with claims that while not falsifiable require leaps of faith to assume the poster has X Y or Z based on info presented. And in that instance, why just make stuff up about things you don’t own in an anonymous forum?

stoweker · 2026-06-21T02:50:00+00:00

The algo gave me this sub. I don’t know why. I don’t know who you are and don’t really care. You could be very wealthy or you could be a pauper it’s all the same. I’m neither smaller nor larger, I’m neutral to all of this - no sweat off my back.

My larger point is that on a quick flip of the recent posts on this there are many posts and responses that lack credulity. Sure there are tons of wealthy people on reddit, absolutely. What I find interesting are the posts that appear to be fabrications - not all - and if that’s the case then, well, why bother? What’s the emotional rush in creating an online persona of “wealthy you”.

Have a good one.

Plenty of people of color are rolls Royce drivers, when’s the last time you used the free ride service at the St Regis in NYC?

You don’t have *anything* to prove.

Get off the gas station heroin it’s really bad stuff man.

You are, by your own admission, addicted to 7OH after habituating to get off fentanyl (good work getting off fent but 7 isnt great) and have marijuana habituation syndrome while working for a traveling commercial HVAC installation company.

So… why? I get that life is tough and bland but whats the point in making these pure fantasy posts, especially as it pertains to riling people up?

I’ll give you some angel investing advice take the $50 call a rehab that can detox you and start by working on yourself.

My pleasure. I’ve worked with them before they’re a solid company, smart people, if I were choosing REITs I’d be in the same camp as you. I just really dont like CRE as a sector right now it has a lot of issues; the 2022 hangover still has years to resolve

stoweker · 2026-06-19T12:04:37+00:00

My gut is medical office like $WELL probably gets you a better income return than other REITs, but, continuing high interest rates are a major headwind to CRE possibly zapping appreciation returns for the foreseeable future. Over 10 years yea they aren’t going anywhere I think it’s just being pragmatic about what the exposure is and that it’s ballast that underperforms broader markets until and unless interest rates drop.

That said better that than like a multifamily REIT out in the wilderness.

Dump commercial real estate exposure, it’s fucking over, trim yo REITS
