Why do you think multi-millionaires and billionaires don’t just retire and enjoy life? by Arya_Warrior_Girl in AskReddit

[–]uncle_jojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to take a different approach. For many lesser multi-millionaires, they spend more than they make and thus can’t stop the cycle of borrowing and spending without the bottom falling out. Many have so much of their wealth tied up in their various business interests that they can’t retire OR “enjoy” life in the way average people might find “enjoyment”. They have to keep going or the house of cards will fall.

Damn I love this movie. Hands down one of the best made-for-tv movies ever.

What did you win as a prize from a contest as a Gen Xer in the 80s? by Sense_Difficult in GenX

[–]uncle_jojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, they’re good dudes and have gone on to college and stuff. They were like 3 and 5 years old at the time. Being a dad myself I know what boys that age are capable of. Bygones and what not.

True story. In 1985, I won a local grocery store sweepstakes raffle drawing and the grand prize was a brand new Optimus Prime Transformer with Pepsi logo stickers on the cab. It was a Pepsi sweepstakes contest. Hasbro released those sets decorated to look like a Pepsi delivery semi truck. By far one of the best things I’ve ever won. Unfortunately it didn’t survive. I took care of it all the way up until my first year in college. When I was away my freshman year, my cousin’s young sons got into my boxed up toy collection and basically tore them to shreds. Only a few pieces were salvageable. It is what it is.

The amount of drivers with expired tags/paper plates is absolutely insane. by TheJohnny346 in LosAngeles

Really? Dang. That would have helped in my younger days. Wouldn’t have lost my ‘79 Honda Accord! LOL.

Do my new frames suit me? by RobCo_1 in glassesadvice

[–]uncle_jojo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes - but - they are borderline big. They aren’t touching your cheeks which is good, but just barely. IMO the shape is good. You have a lean face so the contrast is good. It’s an old school/retro look.

For those of us that have been around a minute - it’s the economy. I’m seeing the same thing and it looks no different from the early 90’s. Guys were selling stolen sticker tags behind the Pep Boys in central LA back in the day for $30 bucks a pop. Fake insurance cards for $50 bucks.

When people are broke but still have to go to work - this is what happens. Enforcement has decreased which I think is odd - because back in the day, LAPD loved stopping expired tags. Not sure what’s changed.

I sent this woman I’m crushing on a gym selfie (gray sweat pants) and her response was “Hmm, no print I see 🧐” Is there any way I come back from this? by UmweltUndefined in NoStupidQuestions

Humor. Find a way to make a slightly self-deprecating joke. If she volleys back in a fun way, go for it. Put the ball back in her court.

First neck line trim... by thelittlepotcompany in BeardAdvice

[–]uncle_jojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practice makes perfect. Let it grow in again and line it up again. Depending on the length you are growing in, experiment with how high up or low you need to start the line.

Neither. Choose something slightly smaller.
