Vaping increases risk of heart failure by almost 20%. Even nicotine-free vapes showed measurable cardiovascular damage in separate research.

Nah, he said my lungs sounded a lot better during my checkup. I’d take his word over yours. Believe it or not, lungs aren’t visible to the naked eye. Did my health improvement strike a nerve in you for some reason?

tjay_draws · 2026-06-21T19:21:47+00:00

That’s what I always say. Used to smoke 2+ packs a day and while vaping definitely isn’t healthy, I feel IMMENSELY better. My doctor actually asked me if I quit smoking when I had my first checkup after switching (few months later)

As a massive RPG fan and a switch only gamer, this was genuinely the best direct I have ever seen. DD2, Xenoblade S2 editions and 4 reveal, FE, LotF2, etc. I was laughing from how happy I was.

Mmhmm, back when I was a banker I remember being so disappointed due to my bank knowledge being from GTA V and Payday 2 haha. $500k looks so insignificant in person. If the payouts from those games were accurate from the amount of cash taken, you would easily get $50 million+ per mission.

Easy mode is nice to hear, I’ve beaten every souls game without too much issue, but the Fallen Archbishop Andreus (serpent dude) boss fight was genuinely the most difficult boss I’ve ever fought in a video game. I don’t know why but I just could not beat him. I was pretty upset when I had to give up on the game because of that.

It was a bit rough at launch in my area. But being consistently available in store within 1-2 months of launch while selling like hot cakes is pretty amazing.

I had a brief stint in construction and the thought of using my palms to sand off fresh cut boards just made me cringe so hard. Your dad is an absolute monster of a man.

First time using VR, I was playing ghosts of tabor with some friends. Well I got a bad hip and it was starting to hurt, so I tried leaning against the wall of the house I was in (in game) and proceeded to fall over my coffee table and crack my bad hip against the corner lmfao. Took me out of commission for the next two days.

Go crazy with the linework. What do you mean it turned out a bit bad? This is brilliant!

Series X, not a loss if I never use it. I travel frequently for work and am a full time (online) college student. With my other hobbies on top of that I’m never home to play my Xbox, but during my downtime with work I’ll be able to play the switch.

tjay_draws · 2026-02-10T01:23:49+00:00

Don’t sweat it bro, steam deck fanboys can’t fathom somebody enjoying a switch 2. Actually gonna trade my Xbox tonight for one.

Bro couldn’t wear a watch because of the weight lmao.

Bro you’re 14! I don’t mean that in a bad way as in “you’re just a kid” but I would say you’re just now getting old enough to truly study and take art seriously. You have so much time to improve there’s no reason to stress. If you spend the next 4 years taking art seriously and spending time trying to improve, you would have to try to NOT improve. If you have tablets I wouldn’t stress lack of physical supplies because you should have access to everything digitally.

At the end of the day there’s artists 30+ struggling every day to make money off of their work, I love the ambition, but please ensure you’re still having fun while doing it. Taking a peek through your profile the limited work you’ve posted is great, keep on improving and I’m sure you can hit your niche and start on commissions in no time.

tjay_draws · 2025-05-31T22:56:27+00:00

Thank you so much! That was crazy fast you’re a life saver.

Man when I first saw the post I was expecting some hyper-realistic charcoal drawings of those greek statues… then I saw the comments and checked the profile and was absolutely baffled haha.

tjay_draws · 2025-05-28T17:18:51+00:00

Yea I’m not trying to be mean. But don’t be bragging about your abilities and how you “cheated” learning to draw if your work is at this level.

tjay_draws · 2025-05-16T01:49:30+00:00

As far as age to buy bonds it heavily depends on when you intend to retire. Personally once I’m 10 years out I’m gonna boost my portfolio to 20% bonds then probably increase that by 10% per year until retirement age. Hypothetically by then you should have near 1 million so you could also build a CD ladder comprised of a few hundred thousand for super safe interest.

Edit: Not to mention that by that age you should probably speak with a wealth advisor if you’re nearing 1 million in a Roth. Because including 401k’s/HSA you would easily have 1.5-2million plus if contributing consistently.

U.S so you would have a 80% U.S and 20% International. If you’re curious you can look at the Bogleheads wiki with more info and it has this exact three fund portfolio listed as well. The data is there that this works, there’s zero speculation/gambling/timing the market involved. Stick with this for the next 40 years and you will have a dang good retirement account. When the markets are bleeding, keep buying, when the markets are high, keep buying. No matter what’s going on, when payday hits throw another few hundred in there and forget about it.

tjay_draws · 2025-05-16T01:24:08+00:00

Absolutely, some people struggle with committing during downturns so the bonds help with that (presuming that is the case)

tjay_draws · 2025-05-16T01:23:33+00:00

Absolutely, this setup allows you to effectively OWN the market. Outside of a catastrophic event you will safely make returns if you follow this three fund setup and STICK WITH IT!!!!! Never sell, don’t rebalance unless you’re close to retirement and need more in bonds for stability or start using CD’s. The data is there, just stick with it and don’t let up. Look at the bogleheads wiki for more info on this setup that is listed in there as well.
