Topic | So I just realized that today is a Friday. |
blu 06/26/20 11:20:58 PM #2 | Spent the evening looking at a high rise condo in Oklahoma City. Looks sweet, but full of old people. That or an apartment full of attractive young people. Not sure if Im moving, but looking at places. Also had Homemade tacos and played slay the spire and ascended with ironclad. boss had much praise for me in my annual evaluation, terrible headache otherwise |

blu 06/26/20 9:23:22 AM #4 | Since February while there were just single digit COVID cases in the US, my job told everyone to not take vacation, but theyll remove the maximum cap for everyone during COVID period. Well, today were green. When this pay period ends, anyone with more than the cap will lose their vacation days and also five additional days so employees are below cap (at least theyll be paid for them). Just the daily toxicity. |

Topic | Why do you find it worth it to buy video games for $60 vs waiting for them to be |
blu 06/25/20 5:57:39 PM #1 | $30? Most people have backlogs and other games they want to play. Is it because of the social component, or do you like watching the news and development of the game? Playing the game before spoilers and guides? Is there another part Im missing? |

blu 06/25/20 9:58:03 AM #7 | 12/21 I like the idea of PotD having quiz topics. hmmmm |
Topic | I wish quotes would automatically @ the user. |
blu 06/25/20 9:03:39 AM #1 | Since youre kind of applying to them. And we can move away from a culture of quoting and then typing agree or something. I feel like Ive probably ignored some people unintentionally by not checking up on a post and feel bad. |

Topic | Why hasn't delivery become more prevalent? |
blu 06/25/20 8:53:52 AM #8 | Delivering to six places in an hour is a lot. Thats a place every ten minutes, and the last place would be waiting an hour for their pizza after it was ready unless the delivery driver picks it back up from the store, which then makes it 7 places in an hour. Then you need time to park, meet the person, them to get their payment, and anything else. |

blu 06/24/20 3:11:02 PM #10 | Tiny homes look awesome, Id really like to get like a $30,000 kit and build my own one day. But also I love living in a community, and I dont know Im of any tiny home communities. Even neighborhoods arent really a community. In apartments Ive always known a lot of people in my buildings and get to hang out with them at the pool and rooftop and stuff. |

blu 06/24/20 3:07:02 PM #8 | My friends are big collectors. CDs, art, video games, alcohol (one friend collects alcohol but doesnt drink it), movies, books. I used to have these collections In HS and undergrad. Now Im more on the minimal side. I have some board games...even like 15 board games can be a huge collection when theyre $100-600 games. Even practical crap, I try renting. Otherwise I go digital. I try to also not have a lot of specialized devices and more generalized devices. |

Actually Ive experienced an inverse in job quality and pay. My favorite job was $10 an hour for about 15k annual. My other favorite job was 12.5k annual at around $30-40/hour. |

Maybe total compensation you remember, which is higher. Going back for a PhD and making 130k is a huge difference between going back and making 30k. My salary isnt even that high and I talked about it just as much when I made 30k/50k as I do at 150k. people point it out more than I do. anyways...does anyone have experience with online therapists? |

blu 06/21/20 11:26:53 AM #52 | That being said... I started looking at houses that cost about a million.

Topic | WWYD? Destroy all your possessions for $1Million... |
blu 06/21/20 11:26:07 AM #51 | Im amazed by how much a 10-15 year generational gap influences a core personality feature. I guess I see a big difference looking at the young vs old. Some days I wonder how much free will I really have, versus personality being formed by things like age. Hmmm, let me see if I can try to make something reasonable that would cost $1,000,000 or more. House - 500k Golf Clubs - 5k ATVs - 20k Bikes - 10k Trailer - 40k Vehicles - 100k Pool table - 10k Swimming Pool - 50k Furniture - 50k Gym equipment - 20k kitchen equipment - 10k theater room decked out - 50k Shed with shed stuff - 25k Tennis court25k? Garage workshop - 50k Hobby - 50k Hobby 2 - 50k Old hobby - 25k Older hobby - 25k Yeah, I guess I can see it. I mean I would like a swimming pool, but Id rather have a community pool in a community that leans towards young professionals. Same with gym membership and all that. |
Topic | Do you have a BELLY??? |
blu 06/20/20 8:42:30 PM #14 | No. My BMI jumps back and forth 19-23, and Im tall so this value is a bit overestimated. When its high I have one if I slouch but not when I stand straight. |
Topic | WWYD? Destroy all your possessions for $1Million... |
blu 06/20/20 8:13:39 PM #42 | Maybe Im just used to living in LCOL/MCOL areas (outskirts of salt lake city, center Oklahoma City, outskirts of Philadelphia) mixed with not looking for a while. Million dollar homes are gated mini-mansions...but I guess towards center city theyre closer to normal sized homes. A 20 minute drive makes a huge difference. Even if buying a home in any of those areas Id look around the $200,000 range...maybe Id look for a condo. I guess collections could ramp up the value if theres rare pieces also. And most people here probably spend their money on items. I have a board game, video game, book, and comic collection and I consider all to be large, but realistically they add up to under 10k if you just grabbed a used copy, a bit more maybe with eBay copies considering some being hard to replace. I spend apartment cost + 5-10k and feel I participate in luxurious activities and am not limited in what I do, but that also might be because Im just 28. I dont really see much Id want to spend the money on that Id really want and not feel guilty about. And the stuff I would spend it on wouldnt be a physical object as much as services or experiences. Even with a $1,000,000 budget to spend to on things I want (not used for VTSAX for early retirement) Id have difficulties spending that much other than buying a penthouse, but Id probably rather just rent an apartment still. |

Topic | WWYD? Destroy all your possessions for $1Million... |
blu 06/20/20 12:20:37 PM #8 | Id destroy all my possessions for under $50,000. They dont add up to that. Unless we include stocks and all that, then it would have to be more. The digital thing was unclear. |

blu 06/20/20 12:16:56 PM #6 | Far-Queue posted... I'm guessing this would include my house which is over half a million right there, so nah Lokarin posted... No, I think my combined possessions may actually be over 1million since I own some home equity in my parents place Whats with some PotD users being so rich? What do you guys do? Or maybe just older or loans or have a SO that isnt in a low paying dead end job. Id destroy all my possessions in a heartbeat for a million. I mean, Id Destroy my possessions and start a new identity in a new country for a million...keeping friends and family. Assuming this million isnt taxed, actually a million. |

Topic | MTG players. Money no object, what kind of modern deck would you have? |
blu 06/18/20 10:41:24 AM #26 | hypnox posted... Geez MTG is still expensive looking at the current meta decks the cost are anywhere from 400(not many) all the way up to 1500 where the average seems to be about a grand. Pokemon decks are about ~200 and it's cheaper to go to the next deck as you already have a lot of the staple trainers. |
