Loosing isn’t the right word

As someone who thinks the “Last Dab” sauces from Hot Ones aren’t spicy enough, no. Your body adapts. I only burn my hole if I eat something that’s too salty now.

Absolutely! I grapple with that all the time. I love having fun and traveling and having cool stuff. It’s fun having some money you’re not afraid to spend.

You deserve it, you’re the one who got yourself to where you’re at. At the end of the day do what’s right for you, just maybe spend a little bit less over the years and instead put it toward the end game.

As time goes on, sitting on ass collecting interest and being able to live off that interest comfortably will be awesome, and if you were able to live it up the whole time is priceless. Treat your now self and future self, but future self likely won’t regret now self traveling etc. (so long as you’re not doing illegal tax evasion and damaging your body long term lol)

Congrats! Some unsolicited money advice I wish I had known earlier in my career:

If you have a mortgage and the interest rate is less than 7ish percent and you’re wanting to pay it early, something to consider:

You might put whatever extra you were planning into a Roth IRA until it’s maxed and also max out your 401k if your employment has that. Historical yield is 7ish% and compound interest will help you immensely 20-30 years down the line.

Paying off the house early is nice feeling but you can possibly refinance for lower rates later if it’s currently similar to or higher than historical investment yields. You could also do a little bit of both but prioritizing retirement accounts is the smarter move imo. So if your mortgage rate is 5% and you want to pay that down, you’re leaving 2% on the table by not putting it into either an IRA or an index fund instead.

This is assuming you’re not carrying other debts at higher rates like credit cards, those should be your priority. Next would be 3 months of all bills saved up, you can find some decent interest rates on savings accounts. I have Acorns and it’s at 5% so the 3 months reserves will stack interest for you too.

My friend’s brother just died of heroin overdose a few weeks ago and I just couldn’t help but feel for him. How many dark alleys did he have to go to to get his high? How many sketchy people were involved? Did he have access to clean needles? He overdosed alone, and likely felt subhuman due to being relegated to the fringes of society just to get his high.

Legalization would not have kept him from getting high, but it certainly would have enabled him access to clean drugs from a safe place, clean needles, and possibly made him viewed as someone who enjoyed getting high and not a piece of shit addict. He had a problem and it being illegal only made it worse for him.

Legalize it all. He was an adult, it’s his body. He can do what he wants with it, it’s nobody’s place to tell anyone what you can or cannot consume. He loved getting high on heroin and I don’t see a problem with that.

What? This is completely wrong. HOAs do not maintain your home for you, that’s wild that you think that’s the reason for HOAs. I live in an HOA and they don’t do anything besides make sure everyone’s house is presentable (like no missing fence pickets) and upkeep the HOA center + pool.

“I’m not gonna move my bag from this seat unless someone asks me to move it” -them

The bones of my house are also fundamentally different material to human bones. Not really sure what point I’m trying to make here but there you go

It’s literally just describing scrum and agile processes as if they were reporting on a cult/religion and its rituals. The bit at the end about it still being waterfall development with rituals actually got me pretty good lol

If you don’t have consent from an animal’s owner, do not interact with the animal. That’s not something good that you should do. Instead, get consent first.

No I don’t think it would throw away the teacher, unless you’re an anime character with a power where eye contact teleports people into the closest trash can

They had to have meant The Dude, right? Right?

Exactly. When I was a kid, my parents gave me a job at the family business. It was great, they said I could work half days. I could do whatever i wanted with the other 12 hours.

This is a bad take. How are you gonna do that? Force ECMA to scrap all the functionality deemed ‘bad’? Wave a magic tech wand? At the end of the day JS is a tool, and like any tool it can be abused for nefarious purposes. The issue is that advertisers abuse this tool, and the sites they pay to be shown on allow it. Not because insert scripting language exists.

That’s like saying the song would be incorrect because technically they’d be swimming in the Pacific.

Bays absolutely are still located in the Gulf of Mexico.

It’s a reference to the song Ænema by tool

The meaning of retard is to delay or impede the development or progress of; to slow up especially by preventing or hindering advance or accomplishment

Just something to think on

commercials with all the kids singing the songs

I think that was Kids Bop, which is essentially Now That’s What I Call Music, but kids were covering the songs instead of the actual band

I disagree with the comment on the point about it being a leftist naivety, but it is naïve nonetheless. Life feeds on life and all that. That they’re sentient doesn’t matter, some people argue plants are sentient too (not that I necessarily agree)

while i admire your spirit, this likely won’t work without an extremely large amount of holes. so many holes that the water coming in is greater than the water being pumped out of the bilge. im sure bilge pumps on a superyacht are insane
