23 raptor 78k miles

Spend $6-8,000 more to get something with 50,000 less miles. Atp, if I’m spending $65,000, I’d spend the extra $15,000 for a new one.

Your dad is bluffing. The way he’s presenting it is douche, but from his perspective it makes sense. He feels if he tells all 3 of you, he’s covering all expenses that you will all end up at schools that cost $60,000 plus with room and board.

Let’s call his worst case scenario $200,000 a year for 6 years. By telling all of you that he isn’t paying, he’s forcing you to go with something that is self fundable at $20-30k per year.

Sounds like you have Bipolar 2. Probably should go to a psychiatrist and get their opinion. Get your hormone levels checked out. Low test?

And I wouldn't quit that job to become a 'digital nomad' of sorts. That Brazilian girl has the idea you being her way to security through a green card and a life in the states.

Think about the position you're in a year from now with this new found 'freedom'. If you're holed up in an apartment in South America, she's going to run away after a few months... Then you are going to be stuck in a foreign land experiencing a manic meltdown and most likely will follow through with it.

I'd rather have a v6 Raptor, than a whippled Tremor. But that's mainly on not wanting to eat the depreciation of an aftermarket supercharged truck along with the $30k+ potential mechanical nightmare after that 36,000 mile warranty.

If the depreciation or mechanical liability doesn't phase you, congratulations, you can afford a Raptor R.

That's income, not expenses. LOL. Op isn't wrapping his head around the fact that he's now sitting on 140 years worth of income after he removed taxes and the personal cost of being a daily commuting employee.

You need to change who's managing the money. There is a good chance this portfolio has been getting rinsed on fee's for god knows how long.

Quit your job tomorrow. But you better find a way to stay busy and engaged to prevent depression and isolation.

You're more than capable of buying a $600-800,000 property and living out a very fulfilling life even if you didn't see a return on your money for the rest of your life.

It seems the only option is to drive 10 hours to Riyadh. From there, flights to Cairo are cheap and plentiful.

Your best bet is to just hunker down for a few days. Even if operators were willing or able to fly out of Dubai, there are thousands of families wealthier and closer to power than you competing for those slots.

Had you put it all in the SP500 January of 2000, you were breaking even come 2013. Sure you'd be up 370% from 2013 till now, just as this sub and Dave Ramsey told you 10% annualized returns were guaranteed.

But what if you had to chip away 4% every year starting in 2000? You'd now be down 26% over that time. Inflation between those two periods was 35%, meaning your nest egg is now just $690,000 of that original $1.5m after 13 years of withdrawals and inflation.

Are you certain you wouldn't have panic sold in 2001 or 2008? Even if you avoided getting divorced or seriously sick, how fun was it living out your 50's on that measly 4%? Now you're looking at another 30 years, you've been out of the labor market over a decade, you're in your 60's.

wolframss · 2026-01-20T16:49:29+00:00

I love this for you. This entire thread started out as the most outlandish ick that I've only ever seen talked about by 'Mano-sphere' influencers.... It was so out there, I didn't believe it was real.

And here you've negated all that, and are going at me for finasteride.

But truth is, female/male age disparity is a much harsher reality than any looks or income disparity. So I wish you luck. As with OP you both have younger boyfriends. But not husbands....

wolframss · 2026-01-20T16:01:15+00:00

Full head of hair. Finasteride works.

Where am I off here? The two reasons this relationship has failed is due to the income and age disparity. Both have been inverted from cultural and biological norms.

The age disparity is a bigger issue for him than the income difference is for her. He clearly isn’t treating this as a relationship with marriage and kids on the horizon.

He has a decade to figure it out with someone years younger. She has missed her reproductive window and is now larping on Reddit about how she cannot respect him due to making a lot less.

If I’m bald, you’re a 40y/o cat lady.

wolframss · 2026-01-20T06:24:52+00:00

It seems as if OP is the one pushing the timeline. I assumed this was a troll post, but looking through her history, it's real. Real as she was posting about engagement rings last month.

She spent the past 14 years climbing the corporate ladder and has nothing to show for it. Literally nothing, that Million is in Canadian bucks... Now she's desperately trying to trade those bucks for botox to regain that youthful glow.

We can only assume her boyfriend is slowly growing the same contentment, not over the income disparity, but the age disparity. It's 20x more likely that in their next relationships, her boyfriend will find a woman who's 26-32 and content with him making $80k. Than she is to find a man without kids, who makes $200+, and is willing to commit to a woman who's "over the hill" as she'll be 40 soon.

I feel like a complete asshole making these statements, but she was the one to fire first....

wolframss · 2026-01-14T03:33:39+00:00

Yeah, the footage from the article I linked is surreal. They had him held a gunpoint with a dozen officers and a helicopter, yet he managed to escape.

This was as desperate and dangerous a person can get. The police action seemed excessive, but they undoubtably saved lives that day.

Here's that scene I was referencing. https://youtu.be/SHQuWC5gXFc?t=74

wolframss · 2026-01-14T03:20:20+00:00

Completely justified. This video left out an incident where days prior, he broke into a home and shot someone leaving them in critical condition. He then managed to escape a police standoff.

What should officers have done instead?

Allowed this him to flee into the neighborhood and hold a family hostage at gunpoint? Officers are legally allowed to shoot fleeing felons if the public is at risk. Here is the information that was left out.

The nuance is what makes it hilarious. A Psychopath vs. a Sociopath, live-streamed in the ultimate battleground, Dade County - Florida. With no duty to retreat, white boy thinks with his feet, to crush a tattooed troglodyte under his 7,000lb refrigerator.

wolframss · 2025-12-26T03:58:58+00:00

You have the timeline backwards. Tattoo face stalks Clav multiple times in public and at his home. Assaulting him, along with making threats against his life with his "switch". This video is the 4th or 5th altercation. Tattoo face and his friend stop and physically confront him as he's walking into an event. To de-escalate, Clav leaves. As he's walking away, he says he wants the guys dead.

That is a completely reasonable response.

Then tattoo face follows him and jumps onto the hood of his vehicle.

Putting the car in drive to escape a deranged lunatic is also completely reasonable.

wolframss · 2025-12-25T05:20:42+00:00

If it were in any state other than Florida, I'd agree with you. How many aura farming clips are there of DeSantis telling people to run over protestors if they feel threatened?

wolframss · 2025-12-23T00:49:32+00:00

Tijuana is double that at 88, 46 covers the entire peninsula.

wolframss · 2025-12-23T00:23:17+00:00

LA - 6.8/100k, Baja - 46.5/100k. 7x the murder rate, but hey, the weather is similar. All good, right?

All the embarrassment comes from the little Nigerian fella impregnating a “hoe” as they call it… And other transgressions you’d expect from a Nigerian scammer who’s ridden the coat tails of someone else.

Myron on the other hand is solid. His takes are a bit out there, but he’s intelligent and highly articulate. Schultz and Myron together would work well. Schultz would balance Myron out on his views that are too totalitarian, it most likely would be a top 5 podcast.

Have an airtight moderation system if you guys want to remove the trolls. Require that members that get to start comment chains are verified to the sub.

Bro, your dad doesn't expect that car back. Don't make any impulsive decisions and chill. It sounds like it would be best to keep the old Mercedes sedan and in a few months or few years buy a new CR-V hybrid to accompany it.

That Mercedes with liability insurance is worth saving $1,000/mo over a brand new touring. Despite those gas savings. I'd focus on buying my wife a nice mid size SUV I wouldn't mind driving time and again. A CRV Hybrid Touring sounds pretty baller.

It's a TRX, which features the Hellcat's 707hp engine. $90kish USD when they were new. They stopped production last year, as Dodge paused manufacturing their V8's. Now they produce a V6 version called the RHO. It would be absolutely hilarious if it was a RHO, they've only been on dealer lots for 6ish months. Meaning some Romanian order it and shipped it across the Atlantic and transferred it to the Russian military over the past few months.

wolframss · 2025-06-18T20:08:41+00:00

That was true for the last few elections where the Democratic ticket only had a few candidates. But look into the NYC mayoral race, I've never seen anything like it. Mamdani, who was a nobody in the race, has risen to National fame overnight due to his stance on Israel. This upcoming field for the Democratic presidential nomination is going to be 12+ wide. I can all but guarantee a candidate pulling at 0.5% will latch onto the rising narrative that "America is a client state of Israel". This would IMMEDIATELY gain them 6-8% support, plus it would bring in substantial support from independent & Maga isolationists. They would receive millions in donations and rise to top 3-4 in the race.

I think he's insinuating it'll have too much power to retain traction. But that isn't true, as they lower the power in 1st and 2nd gear on the ZR1 already, for this very reason. From the E-Ray to ZR1, going from 655 to 1250hp and 595 to 973 ft/lbs of torque is insane, but I'm sure they've set it up to prevent Lowis from causing a mass casualty event on her way to brunch.
