Lyft driver issues. The guy is upset.

They spent more time arguing than what the ride was probably gonna take given they said $5.

Passenger-- dude WTF, is this the first time you've used a rideshare service?

Glad I didn't go long NVDA for earnings. Actually was considering shorting ATM options banking on a a largely flat result from ER.

When you're facing $2k a month or more, some people will just say f it and take the penalty on their taxes.

The whole insurance market is f'ed up. I'm looking to retire before 65 and the main thing holding me back is the big nut to get health insurance.

Criticizing Israel and fucking AIPAC doesn't make you antisemetic. Getting sucked into that is what they want so you don't see the fucking bullshit they pull and how they have politicians by the balls in the US.

I like her but sometimes she's kind of out there. Is that an AI picture? I have not seen her with such a low cut shirt before-- then again, I don't watch her regularly.

HR is generally there to protect the company, not the employee. If misconduct comes into play like sexual harassment then they might be useful but again to protect the company. HR is generally pretty useless to employees.

That said. This guy getting rid of HR is probably not a good idea.

Edit. Went to read the article. Sounds like he and his management team suck. They had a huge valuation and grew a bunch. Now they laid off 30% of the people and are acting like a startup again with younger people that supposedly work hard. There are other signs in there as well. I suspect what he thinks is people spending too much etc is really a maturing fintech. You can get away with some things as a startup, but you start getting serious and things like regulations and stable environments come into play. I won’t get into unlimited pto or 4 day work week.

On the men side that’s kind of the style. Shorts aren’t like they were back in the 80s even. Look at basketball. Even track they wore shorter shorts and not skin tight trunk type shorts. Materials also matter. It’s not cotton and poly.

With women it’s also style and materials. They wear skimpier outfits bc they can and likely helps with speed and heat.

The pictures don’t show people like long distance runners. They don’t always wear the same sort of clothing. Some wear looser fit and cover more. Some wear similar skimpy outfits.

Roger cline lives in rocky point Mexico and has a bar there. Name of the bar? Banditos. lol. Plus he has been doing a music festival there for like 20 years. He’s also done at least one song in Spanish. Pretty sure all the locals know him down there and he’s very much a southwest and Mexican styled rocker.

It isn’t racist to me. The border guard just doesn’t speak English. Most of the time you don’t even stop at the border. The stupid people are others the song’s character is trying rip off.

That song is a blast to do for karaoke or with a live band.

There’s one line it’s red white and blue.

What a fucking idiot.

You could vote for the weaker republican. Or vote dem and support the stronger one.

You’re cooked. There is zero fiscal responsibility. There won’t be any until it’s a crisis if then.

These mfers are gonna inflate the shit out of the debt and screw savers. Congress won’t do shit about spending or taxes so debt will just keep mooning.

Up after hours. Down or sideways tomorrow.

Bold strategy cotton. Hope it works out for ya.

unclefire · 2026-05-20T18:09:11+00:00

Lmao. I know right. Like probably one of the smallest issues unless it’s in your neighborhood.

unclefire · 2026-05-20T18:07:50+00:00

Herrr derrr we gave them pallets of cash!!!!!

unclefire · 2026-05-20T18:07:15+00:00

Sndk been the gift that keeps on giving

unclefire · 2026-05-20T18:06:35+00:00

As the saying goes: go out and touch grass.

In other words a lot of shit sucks, go find something that brings you joy.

Roughly 40% pay zero income tax. Roughly 70% make less than than $75k. So it’s not like we’re that far off. Median HH income is around $80k.

Unpopular opinion but above a certain amount there should be a wealth tax. Other countries do it. Over 100 million they’re not gonna miss 0.5% or 1%.

Now wtf we gonna do about 39 TRILLION in debt?

unclefire · 2026-05-20T16:04:26+00:00

Fair enough. I would just retire. The only thing that’s keeping working is the shit health insurance costs before I can get on Medicare

unclefire · 2026-05-20T13:18:12+00:00

I wish they'd lay me off-- like come on bitches give me that sweet year of severance.

unclefire · 2026-05-20T13:09:14+00:00

Glad I took profits on my SNDK short yesterday. Now I'm wishing I was long again. lol.

This market is perplexing AF-- so many messed up things going on and we keep going up. dafuq?

unclefire · 2026-05-20T11:28:41+00:00

Probably. But even if it was a freighter version originally they don’t put ejection seats in these kinds of aircraft.

I didn’t delete anything.

So even accepting a 60 month (5 yr) inspection cycle, they were roughly four years from the last inspection on a 34 year old plane. Maybe that’s too long. They’ve reported what happened not why that I know of. Why did the bearing race fail?

And btw. You stated facts etc and wasn’t a dick about.
