Elon is crazy don't get me wrong, but how is his pay package BS?

The shareholders voted on it twice now. Why does some judge get to neg on it? And she comments that someone shouldn't need that much money? How is that relevant to the case?

For all the bat shit stuff elon does and says, this pay package dispute is horrid. Just pay the man what he deserves and what was promised to him.

How is his pay package unfair either? It's like if you worked for a company who made $1M a year, and then you promised to 10x that company to 10M a year, and your compensation was $5M after you hit that target, but you wouldn't be paid the $5M until after five years....

How is that unfair? People are crazy.

https://time.com/7008431/tim-walz-dui-drunk-driving/

Not sure where to put this but VP candidate Tim Walz got a DUI in 1995 where he was caught driving his 1995 Miata at 96mph in a 55mph zone.

Wow: Tim Walz owned a Miata.
Good: He drove it like he stole it. 96mph in a NA? Damn homie.
Bad: DUI

The officer at the scene noted that Walz’s silver Miata was going 96 miles per hour in an area where the speed limit was 55. When Walz saw a car pull out quickly behind him, he sped up thinking someone was chasing him, Walz’s lawyer explained to the court. Walz stopped when the officer turned on the patrol car’s flashing lights.

After his arrest, Walz’s license was suspended for 90 days. He offered to resign his teaching job at Alliance High School, but the principal talked him out of it, according to court documents. The judge in the case agreed to reduce the charge from a DUI to reckless driving and fine Walz $200 plus court costs.

Let's just assume you're right. He stacked his board.

The shareholders still had to vote on his pay package. And they voted to accept it twice.

They even voted to pass it after all this stuff came to light...

It's crazy that anyone sees a problem with this.

[68style]

^ I don't have an iron in this fire, though his compensation is gross by any standard of measurement, nobody needs that much compensation for directing traffic from an ivory tower.

That said, several reports available say that shareholders were not properly informed and that it was done way back in 2018, not today with what's now known.

Where are you inventing this from?

Nobody likes Galon Weston on here that I know of?

But no effect? He's literally spreading hundreds of lies, false facts, disingenuous beliefs to millions of people every day, many of whom are highly gullible or susceptible to misdirection... and on top of it he's actively designing his social media site to impede voters in the USA.

Galon Weston just stays quiet and fucks everybody kind of facelessly... you can be sure everyone would be bitching to the skies about him non-stop if he was on social media being a lunatic as well. I hate the guy, but what else is there to say besides I hate him and I shop at his store(s) only when I have to? Same thing for Elon, I would never buy a Tesla or any other product he sells. What else can anyone do except speak with their wallet ultimately?

If Elon wants to stay out of everyone's attention, he should just shut the fuck up and keep his racist/prejudiced bullshit to himself. So simple.

Do you usually talk about people who are totally silent in your daily life?

[supafamous]

Well Elon does own a major social media platform that he uses to promote hate and misinformation. Said platform was one of the best ways to get information and used to be a place that news orgs would regularly break news but instead it's now a cesspool of spam, bots and hate.

I still use Twitter a fair bit but man, is it ever terrible now unless some breaking news happens. Outside of breaking news I get better content from TikTok now. It's not like I'm a noob to Twitter - been on there since 2008 and it's gone from breaking news like a plane crashing into the Hudson to trash under Elon's "leadership".

Bro WHAT.
Aren't you "fake news, mainstream media" angry guy around here? This guy has a platform where he promotes mass amounts of disinformation for political and social sway to the trailer park of the internet.
Also, everyone hates Gaelon Weston. If he was constantly public speaking, you'd hear people mention they hated him way more often.

[Hondaracer]

Dunno, haven’t used twitter since long before Elon took over so guess I’m not “falling” for the fake news and stories there?

Don’t feel like I’m more or less informed by not using it.. if people don’t like it and what’s said there.. don’t use it?

[68style]

I don't use it either, but I care that the guy who runs it is misleading the public under the guise of "truth"

I guarantee his rhetoric is spilling over into stuff you do read though.

If blind eye is your solution, why are you passionate about anything else then? Just stay in your house and nothing will ever have a negative effect on you.

[Hondaracer]

Well.. pretty much.. lol?

So if the govt. doesn’t have any influence on inflation or interest rates as is so often said here, does anything outside of municipal politics actually affect me?

If I never turned on the news or read stuff online, would anything change for me?

I just find it funny people just do nothing but shit on twitter hahah it’s lost all its value! Shit platform! good for nothing!! But then like.. scared of what’s said there and its use? It’s long passed being a reliable source for media. It will likely shrivel up and die eventually

[westopher]

I only liked twitter because all the instagram skanks would post some proper naked photos there, but most of them left cause Elon hates women.

[Hondaracer]

When I left it was already turning to shit, I felt it was just non-stop bullshit and felt even like “toxic” to ME lol.. felt like it didn’t have a use anymore even for sports

That said, several reports available say that shareholders were not properly informed and that it was done way back in 2018, not today with what's now known.

Let's also assume this was correct. The shareholders were not properly informed in 2018 and Elon and his board tried to scam everyone.

Tesla literally did another vote last month on the exact same pay package. Now, it's six years later, people had time to digest, evaluate, hate, etc.

The vote last month passed again by over 75%.

The shareholders have now passed two votes on the exact same issue six years apart and people are having issue with it?

You guys are crazy if you think this is right. Like I said, Elon is wacko, there's no question about that, but to deny the shareholders their rights is crazy. This sets a very bad precedent if this vote isn't upheld. Especially after a second vote confirmed the first one, six years later.

"Elon, who, really has no effect on anyone here outside of hurt feelings"

This is an extremely ignorant thing to say. Twitter was shitty when you were still there, but since you haven't seen what it got turned into after you left, you shouldn't say anything about it.

And if you are really "ignoring the clown", you should be okay with people shitting on him for doing dumb shit, without feeling the need to stand up for him by saying he's not hurting anyone.

Also, just because someone's actions don't affect me personally, but significantly affects many other people, it doesn't mean it should just be ignored.

So, I was at the grocery store today and saw these 2 fat fucks with all the English skills of the Swedish chef, shoplifting ice cream bars. They both did a pretty horrible job at being inconspicuous but then again, one was shaped like a China Hutch and the other, a Winnebago. Neither exactly moving like Richard Simmons either.

I'm thinking to myself 'why not steal shit that would make you lose weight?' but then I realized, whatever country they ran away from probably required diet & exercise. Meanwhile, Chubby from the Little Rascals & his buddy Augustus Gloop over here are tying up the Earth's oxygen supply so they can laugh & steal another day. One of them bought an energy drink as a decoy as the other left for the door. with the flair of molasses on drywall.

Wow, an energy drink! Better use that energy to waddle your Caillou coffee bean headed, burnt broccoli hair, potato sack lookin ass back to whatever bus depot brought you here.

[punkwax]

I recently watched some homeless dude stuff a family sized bag of chips under his hoodie. I also couldn’t help but think to myself, why not steal something smaller and healthier?

Chip cravings can be real I guess.

For many, food security is becoming a big deal (not for RS ballers, of course) but record number of people have to decide whether to pay their rent or for food. No surprise that food banks usage have increased dramatically recently. These are hard times for even those who worked a decent job for their whole life and their pension +CPP +OAS is still just keeping them barely afloat. It's sad to watch.

Highest demographic who is becoming homeless are seniors.

I see all the homeless addicts, bent over on the streets, sleeping and talk of providing housing. As much as I swing left on this and yes, let's find good clean housing for as many as we can. I just know that some of these folks DO NOT have the capacity to live alone in a suite, maintain personal hygiene, feed themselves, and keep the place in a reasonable cleanliness state. Certain percentage of homeless folks with addiction and mental health issues need some sort of assisted living.

If you can’t help the 16 year old addict by even providing support and recovery, there isn’t a chance in hell you’re going to provide assisted living for homeless seniors. Much like giving away free dental care is “cheaper” than fixing cavities later on, the bottom line is better off having a senior pass away on the streets than tie up multi-tiered resources to get a roof over their heads.

Saw this ghoul on the DTES the other day, probably late 60’s early 70’s. You’re an elderly person basically a skeleton living on the streets..

I can't speak on the ROI of letting seniors die on the streets but the research on how to address homelessness has always shown that it's better financially to house them than to let them live on the streets. There's so much data on this that it's not even in dispute anymore - it's just that conservatives would rather we let people die in the streets than give them something to help them.

They probably were looking to sell them.

Ice cream is extremely popular with addicts on the streets, guys will steal ice cream bars, pints, and resell them on the street at a major markup.

Something about Fent makes you crave sugar or something, it's weird.

Seniors of any kind require a lot of support though whether they're homeless or not - I'm not sure if there's enough of a financial difference to letting them die on the street or of caring for them - at least not one that exceeds our desire for compassion and thankfulness of what they (as a whole) have done for society.

In the most basic sense the cheapest way to deal with seniors is to grind them into animal feed when they can't work anymore but I hope we all agree that we want to save our meat grinders for other uses (and we don't really want to grind granny up).

The only change in Twitter as far as content since musk came about is that there is no fact checking as long as the conspiracy is right wing, and there is less censorship on racially or sexually driven hate speech.

Maybe it depends on what a good father is.

My mom has eight siblings, so nine children total and they all seemed to love their father and always said good things about him. He didn't speak much, but you could tell he cared. He was kind and gentle to the grand kids at least.

He worked, came home for dinner, back to work.

I'm fairly sure you can't really compare being a father of 9 in the 1940s to a father of 9 in 2024, especially more so if you factor in cultural nuance.

Yeah, that's a fair point.

Hey, how open are you guys with your best friend/s?

We went to a kids birthday party (2y.o). If you've never been to a kids birthday before, it's not the most fun. It's a bunch of kids running around, crying, and most of the parents are not around because they're shadowing their kids.

Anyway, the host's best friend, Mark didn't show up even though he confirmed prior. Mark messaged John (the host) around 8pm tonight saying he was on a plane and apologized for not showing up. John was a little perturbed because Mark didn't tell him he was going on vacation and Mark didn't give him a heads up he wasn't coming.

Would any of you communicate this frustration with your best friend? If it were me, I'd probably just let it go, but the wife said John should just tell Mark how he's feeling.

[Badhobz]

Who gives a shit. Bai.

If you feel perturbed you’re a little bitch

Fuck you and your trash ass kids party

[winson604]

It sounds like this may be typical Mark behavior and when it happened shouldn't have shocked anyone. If I'm wrong and this was very unlike Mark I'd just chalk it up to him having a reason for example he had to leave in a hurry and may have had a lot on his plate dealing up shit last minute and it just slipped his mind to let John know. Either situation I'd just be like ah wells whatever. Even if it was a situation where I needed firm headcounts ahead of time because you had to lay per head for something I.e. laser tag and bnw I'm out money I'd still be like yea whatever.

It's shitty human behavior...anyways Mark should have come up with an excuse earlier if he didn't wanna go to a shitty kids party lol

Is Twitter appropriate for children? Twitter's rules state that users under the age of 13 can't create accounts or post tweets, but many do it anyway.

no, lol i wouldn't let kids on twitter.

Explains your politics. Everything is so predictable.

no... i've always been like this, with or without social media. I was calling feminists, feminazi's 20+ years ago on RS. and blasting super hippy dippy "acceptance" stuff. There was just no general label for all that type of thinking back then. before the woke, before the red pill shit, before the mens rights movement shit. 20+ years ago I was already saying the same shit.

If anything, anyone that had no opinion back then, and has one now, are the ones that got brain washed.

why do you think I got banned so many times? and come back from the ban so many times LOL... the internet has not changed.

wow you guys are sensitive. This john guy seems like a little bitch and then to go and cry about it to his wife and peanutty (who cant keep anything under wraps) like its some sort of a big deal, jesus christ.... did eveyone all grow vaginas?

You just laugh it off, call him a fucking douchebag and a faggot, and then move on. The guy DID CALL while at the airport to say OOPSIE, fuck you and your kid, but whatever im out. This sterotypical guy behavior.

next time you see him, you give him a tap in the nuts as a reminder

[whitev70r]

It's a Friggin bday party for a 2 yo ... guy didn't miss his father's bedside death because he was on a holiday. Just stop and think about how important that is in the bigger picture of things in the world.

[68style]

I remember taking my niece and nephew to these godawful things sometimes when my sister conned me into it.

I literally had a moment where I was standing in a circle with a bunch of actual dads not a fake dad like me... and, no word of a lie, they were talking about which minivans were the best and they asked me what I drive and I said "a sports car, those kids are my sister's not mine lol" and they all looked really, really sad.

The stupid part about peanutty's situation is that the point was for the kid's birthday... but the kid won't ever remember it lol

[Badhobz]

if was a father, id chase you out of that fathers circle you imposter!

how dare you come and not share experiences about child rearing and minivan ownership. get outta here with your full head of hair and swagger in your step.:okay::okay:

[whitev70r]

When I had a 2 yo, attending those were friggin painful as hell. I rather get the Chinese water torture for 2 hours. Now I hear they are worst, just opportunities for parents to flex. "Come to my angel's 2 yo party at the Arbutus Club ..." GTFO of here. Then you'd have to think of a present/gift for the 2 yo. If I had elementary kids now, I'd try to catch Covid on purpose just to miss those damn bday parties.

I feel like I'm missing some information - does Mark have kids who were going to come to the party? Was Mark on his way out to a vacation or on his way back (and was delayed)?

If I had invited a close friend to my kids birthday party and they had kids then I'd expect the courtesy of knowing fairly well in advance that they weren't coming as I would have prepared things for their kids (goodie bags, ordered food for them) or my kid was expecting their kids. If they don't have kids and were invited b/c they're like an "uncle" then last minute notice is probably fine.

[punkwax]

^this. If Mark’s kid was supposed to attend, give them the heads up.

[Great68]

That's what I was going to ask, like does this dude have kids of his own that were supposed to come, or is just a single guy? If it was the latter, i wouldn't have even invited the guy unless he was like the kid's Godfather or something, let alone being upset he didn't show up.

Years ago I went to a first communion party for the kids of my wife's second cousins (or something along those lines, can't remember the exact familial relationship). It was funny because the party seemed more for the dad and his buddies than for the kid. For food the dad did a freaking pig roast...

Damn, you nailed it on the head with Mark. Typical behavior of him. I guess because he's John's best friend. John wanted a heads up at least. That's the tough part of having a "best" friend who's flaky. You should expect he's going to be flaky. Can't change a best friend at our age.

Mark didn't give him a reason why he didn't show up, he just said he's now departing on a plane on a vacation.

Also, Mark had a kid that was supposed to be there.

@badhobz, you're not wrong. I feel like your response is the right response generally, but I think it hits different when it's supposed to be your closest buddy.

Especially breaking promises to his kid but then again its a 2 year old, so who cares.

IM more interested in how you are involved in this dynamic? did you attend the kids birthday party with your own kids? was it lavish? did you throw cake at John?

So all those. If their kid was expected by your kids, and since the dads are best buds I'd assume the kids see each other a lot, that's kind of shitty for the kid. Yes there's not much going on with 2yo, but they slowly build it up. My 19 month old would come home and tell us about little things that happen at daycare with her friends. Sure there's not much info but when we attended a birthday party with the daycare kids they do interact a lot and recognize each other. They do have their likes and dislikes.

I remember taking my niece and nephew to these godawful things sometimes when my sister conned me into it.

I literally had a moment where I was standing in a circle with a bunch of actual dads not a fake dad like me... and, no word of a lie, they were talking about which minivans were the best and they asked me what I drive and I said "a sports car, those kids are my sister's not mine lol" and they all looked really, really sad.

Those dads just don't have balls if the sports cars made them sad :lawl:
Everyone needs a car and even if you can't get a 2 door you can always get something fun with 4 doors, I have my M3, there's WRX, GTI, CTR on the "lower end" and then there are AMG, Audi RS, and if the kids are a little older, you can pack them in a 911.

There are two distinct groups of dads that I see regularly. There's an "Asian" crew which are actually a bunch of moms who hung out because our first kids were all within 6 months of each other. 3/5 of the dads are car guys, I have my M3, one has a Z4M, the last one has a 996T right now. We got on drives and we talk about which school bus to get (TMY, TMY, and our X5)

The other group are the daycare dads who we end up seeing a lot because everyone gets invited to everyone's bday parties. They don't care about cars. One is big into cycling, one is into arts, one travels a lot.

[AstulzerRZD]

From X3M, Model Y, R1S, 4XE, Hummer EVs, I feel like there are practical ways to have fun.

That said, there are a few dads at my office who stuffed front AND rear facing seats in M4, A5, and Mustang convertible - it's doable as long as you're out of stroller territory.

While I have the funds I just can't justify the spend on a second car that will hardly get driven. I WFH and my weekends are commanded by my kid and I'd just rather do family stuff or spend my money on other things (like building a deck and redoing our patio)

I'm not far away from retirement (~6 years) so I'm just forcing myself to be patient till I have the free time.

MIATA is always the answer! Unless you need power -- in which case you either FI it, or drop a big honking V8 into it.

Tell your friend to join the "Vancouver Miatas" group on Failbook and get him hooked! IMO, NC continues to be the best bang for the buck at this point, but the best ones are the ND2 right now.

ive only seen men drive miatas. I dont think women drive these anymore because 1) its not cheap 2) its small and not practical

asian women all seem to not want to ruin their hair by having a miata induced blow out, so youre limited to a few younger white girls who are still limber enough to fold into a small sports car.

I had one. NC in gray so basically what Traum posted but gray. Amazing car, drove it to work everyday, top down as much as I can. The only downside was mine had no AC and it was hot when you are stuck in traffic. Otherwise one of the best cars I've owned

I only know one Asian woman who owns a Miata, she's an empty nester divorcee who went E46 328, F30 328, F32 430, then all of a sudden Miata RF.

The RF isn't a full convertible either, but I saw her on the road before and she does drive it top down.

Otherwise you are right because my wife wasn't HUGE fan of mine. The novelty was cool, great on a hot summer night but it's too hot during the day and too windy on the highway.

As a dad of a 2 year old, if i'm hosting his bday party, having my best buddy show up is probably the thing i'm looking forward to MOST.

Someone who I can have a beer with in between cake cutting and kids crying.

So yeah, if my best buddy said he was coming and didn't show, I'd be bummed too.

And yeah, I'd have no problem saying something like "wtf you aren't coming?? damn I was looking fwd to catching up" to make him feel bad, and guilty and shit.

Death to the infidel! A Miata is some of the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

I thought you were thinking of buying a Boxster or something. If you have a fun 4 seat, you can always take that on the weekends instead.

Yeah, getting a Boxster or a sports car is/was on the list - but between being sensible with money (or just having higher priorities for it) and my recent hearing issues I'm parking that for now. I gotta get my hearing issues sorted out before I get myself a loud car and then I want to move retirement as early as possible - if I could retire at 50 (17 months away) and have to give up the dream of a sports car I would do it.

I had 2. Loved them both though the NC1 was way better than the NB IMO. I loved the NC1 more than any other car I've ever owned but sold it so I had money to buy a house.

I had mine since new, and drove it for 12 years under all sorts of super fun situations, and would not have sold it if it wasn't for me developing a stupid sciatica where I'd be in massive pain for sitting in the car anywhere between 15 - 30+ minutes. Without any sort of timelines for recovery in sight, I begrudgingly sold it for dirt cheap (with all the tasteful OEM+ mods) before the pandemic car shortage massively jacked up all car prices. :(

If someone were buying brand new now, I'd say the GR86/BRZ is a better sports car than the current ND2 Miata. But in the used market, I continue to think that the NC generation is still the best-est bang for the buck sports car people can get nowadays.

If you aren't JDM, would a Euro Miata work for you? Z3 and early Z4 aren't actually that far off. It's a little fatter, a little faster, just as soft and more creature comforts. I'd argue a Z3 is pretty damn close to a NC.

What about a Fiat 124? Isn't that basically a Miata that doesn't look like a Miata but is still built by Mazda?

Forgot about that one, that's how obscure it is :lol

I don't actually like the 124, you are dealing with just as little room as the ND (NC is bigger and much more livable despite shittier interior) and the 1.4t can't be revved. They are also rarer as the ND is still being sold whereas the 124 has been discontinued.

Eh, my cousin had the 2018 accord hybrid. It was built in USA and the build quality was kinda shitty, the AC leaked out the freon twice, the road noise was LOUD (common honda complaint) and the CVT drone was annoying.

I'd stick with toyota for hybrids still.

https://www.motortrend.com/features/the-10-most-iconic-and-consequential-mazda-sports-cars-ever/

Mazda’s history dates to a time well before it was a sporty luxury-ish brand that sells premium cars at mainstream prices. From 1920, it was a brand that made corks, and in 1931 it began to make its first vehicle—a motorized trike truck called the Mazda-Go. Its history with actual cars only began on October 10, 1960, but Mazda would expand from its humble beginnings to become a car company best described as the brand for people who want a fun, driver-focused vehicle without going to a Porsche dealer. Sure, its sedans and hatchbacks have been fun to drive, but we can all admit where Mazda’s spiritual center sits: Its iconic coupes, convertibles, and sports cars. Here are the 10 sports cars that put Mazda on the map.

Getting a hard on just looking at all these Mazdas especially the Eunos Cosmo, the FD, and the last RX-8.

Well... they weigh anywhere between 100-400 tonnes depending on spec............ you can't just pick it up and move it.

It needs to be disassembled and there are a lot of inherent safety concerns the way it's positioned with that process as well.

It fell on high voltage trolley lines, 3 phase primary hydro, and all the other shit on their property

So outside of coordinating all of that, they probably have to cut it into pieces and coordinate another crane to pick it up and haul it out. I’m sure the physical work if nothing else would probably take a week or more

Is anyone familiar with dating culture with mainlanders?

Just caught up with my cousin (male) who is dating a mainlander in Vancouver. He told me that he literally pays for everything when they go out. They've been going out for like eight months now and she has never paid for anything.

He even brought up how it would be nice if she bought dinner once in awhile or picked up a bubble tea bill, but she pretty much said, F*ck that. That's not how things work.

I don't have any friends who are mainlanders, but is this normal cultural behavior with mainlanders? My cousin is Chinese (Hong Kong), but he was born here. His girlfriend was born in China, but works here. Not sure if this matters, but she makes under $100k, he makes about $130k.

The other question I have is if they get married, is this still the norm? Or do all bank accounts become one?

I'm genuinely curious. There is no chance I would date a girl like that, but I can also somewhat understand if this is a cultural thing in China. I just don't know. I already told him to find someone else, but that's fallen on deaf ears.

Does anyone have experience?

LAWL! PogChampPogChampLULLUL

First of all, define mainlander. Its a vast country, where she from? Big City bitch? small countryside peon? some butt fuck weeeeegurrrr whos trying to establish their own Muslim kabal in chinar?! WHO!?

If shes a big city bitch: yes this is normal. Typical attitude from entitled women as they are all product of 1 child policy and thus doted on from birth. Dont forget the ratio of men to women are highly fucked in china and thus if you are a good looking bitch, you will literally have like 200 dudes trying to bone your ass. times that by 10 if you're really good looking.

if shes a countryside hoe: she wouldnt have this kind of expectation, but then again she wouldn't be in Canada unless she's rich. Rich ones are basically the same as the city mainlander women. Even this whole countryside thing has various levels of "farmer-ness" but i guess it wouldn't really apply here

If shes an immigrant: usually comes from money, unless they came in the 90's (if they came in the 90's you wouldnt have this problem). Probably brainwashed by the chinese dating system where the guy pays for everything.

Suffice to say your guangdong cousin is fucked. Interestingly, if shes not a complete gold digging hoe, when they do get married and shit out a kid, she will tiger wife the finances and then all his money will become her money and then there will be no expectations of him "paying" for anything because she already owns everything he's got.

Does he like to listen mandarin's yarrr yarr yarr? ni haorrrr marrrr? well get used to that shit cuz that's COUNTRY LANGUAGE GUOYU good luck trying to speak cantonese in that household unless shes also a guangdong bastard.

He likes her, man.... They're both around 32, so they're talking like they're getting married.
To be honest, he doesn't even sound that enthusiastic about her, it's like he's already dead with her, but he's feeling the pressure of finding someone and settling down, having kids, etc.

Frankly, I can't do shit. I've realized you can't tell adults what to do. No one is going to listen to you.

It's just tough to see people you care about going down a path that probably won't be that fulfilling for them. He's a good kid, so I just want what's best for him. I also realize dating right now is kind of tough. If you're 30+, it seems like it's very difficult to find a good catch. I told him he might be better off just finding a 21 year old. The dating pool would be larger.

He even brought up how it would be nice if she bought dinner once in awhile or picked up a bubble tea bill, but she pretty much said, F*ck that. That's not how things work.

He needs to respond with "Actually, you've missed the entire point here. How things actually work in society is that you're getting older and less desirable to general society and single men every single passing day, so if you aren't attractive to be with from a partnership perspective, you're only as good as the desire you pique from anyone with your ever fading physical attributes. If you present as someone who wants to collaborate in life together, you'll be beautiful to your partner forever. If you present as someone who should be taken care of in exchange for what you consider to be love or sex then you're no different than a common whore and I can get that anywhere, and probably much cheaper and better quality at that."

Mic. Drop.

Will end the relationship, teach her a lesson, free his mind from thinking he can't do better and make him look like a boss all in one short minute.

Why do we have to go home, even when I lecture you at home, you just sit there without a response...What kind of boyfriend are you? You don't know how to take care of a girl. And ANd AND, at the italian restaurant. I sit down. Did you pull out the chair for me? No you didnt. Just remember! Its just little things! If you used your brain a little bit you would know what to do! Do I need to remind you everytime? I'll even remind you to help with my tea." He goes to stir the tea. "See you only know to do it because I remind you. Give it back to me, I dont need you to stir it, thanks. Dont you already know you aren't smart? If I spoke English you wouldn't even understand. You can't answer anything, you're not good looking. And you're not even rich, other girl's boyfriends have SO much money"

[Badhobz]

So i went to go see the "super moon" at Iona beach last night and while sitting there contemplating my poor life choices, i saw this skinny mosquito motherfucker and his skanky mosquito bitch.

At first he was like HEY BABY, you know you want these slim ass antenna, all dancing around this mosquito bitch like he's got harvey specter money or something..

Initially she just ignored him like how we ignored CiC. Then afterwards, i guess she gave in after seeing they had an audience and she's a kinky little bitch.

So i was watching this little shit pump his little mosquito dick into his old lady and im like FUCK YOU, how dare you have a better time than me. So i iced him and his tasty mosquito bitch with my hitler wipers. I proceeded to immediately piss on his corpse afterwards with hitler fluid

i got an ear full from spyballoon cuz i was manically laughing while i watched his mangled little corpse get compacted with his whoresquto

DONT FUCK INFRONT OF ME, ill wipe you

Does anyone have experience regarding credit card debt?
I just found out that a friend of ours has about $50k in credit card debt on multiple credit cards.

What would be the options for them? I've heard consumer proposal and consolidation are some options, just seeing if you guys can help me narrow it down faster.

The thought of him paying 22% interest hurts my soul.

Or if you have a guy in the debt field, if you could send me his contact info. I want to try and get them on the right track asap.

[unit]

i dont know anything about debt consolidation but if it's all credit cards then this is what i did when i had about 30k debt in my 20.

i applied for balance transfer cards and put as much debt as i could into them. they are like 0% or 1% APR and cost 1% in balance transfer fees. do that for as much of the debt possible and the rest put in a LOC even if it's like 10% or 12%, beats 20%. then get on rice and beans and take that shit to pound town. i know 50k is a lot more than 30k so unfortunately this method may have some limits because they will still have like 20-30k+ to deal with, and most people with unsecured LOCs are not getting that big of a LOC at any reasonable rate.

[Badhobz]

Nutty you got too many fingers in too many pots.

Who gives a shit about their credit card debt problem. As long as you don’t have credit card debt you’re all good.

[6793026]

talk to a debt consolidator, and they will keep the phone calls away. It does do magic. Unless you're Unit, he knows how to transfer from over to another then it's good.

[GLOW]

reminds me of those commercials/infomercials to call that debt company to help you get out of debt...22%, that feels like loan shark, paydayloans stuff :ohgodwhy: :heckno:

If they've got ways to consolidate debt... say HELOC or LoC of anykind... do it.

Failing that, go talk to the bank saying that you can no longer afford this whole thing. Many of them have program in place to workout a plan (most importantly stop the 22% interest accumulation) to pay for everything.

And his/her lifestyle would change quite dramatically in the short term, but way better than just letting it rot.

I'm not sure if they've got any valuables they can sell... like collections of whatever. Find the right people to sell it for them and pay down their debt ASAP.

My ex used to work on bankruptcies... those debt consolidators like Sands are total sharks, they charge you SO MUCH to do literally anything, like lawyer levels of bad.

They're a profit business, they're not there to help you... it's for mouth breather stupid people who can't figure their own shit out.

I would like to know this guys income vs spending data.
Someone needs to sit down with him, and find out the core reason of that debt.

Im pretty ignorant, and my life is "easier" than alot of people struggling out there, but i have this belief that many people live WAY outside their means.

My friend had something like 10k debt while living at home, this blew my mind. And sure enough, it was a spending issue. This was years ago, he is on the right path now

[Hondaracer]

I remember shortly out of highschool I met this chick I was trying to date at work, got to know her was KIND OF dating… then one day she’s all stressed and she’s like oh yea ya know just bills and stuff

I’m like oh yea.. what’s up? She’s like oh well.. I’ve got student loans.. (she had no degree wasn’t going to school any more and was previously in some sort of art program)

She’s like well.. I owe 40… I’m like 40? $40??!? She’s like nah 40k

I’m like eehhhhhhhh… ok… this might not work :lol

To save your soul, why don't you do your friend a solid and be his private lender. Charge him 20% interest. Returns are probably better than your stock portfolio.

You know what I think it is? These days people don't ask engaging questions. I talked about this before, everyone just asks the same superficial questions that don't get an in-depth response. I genuinely want to know how your life is going and how you're doing.

If you ask the right questions, I find people want to talk about themselves and their highs and lows because they have no one to talk to about them, even if they have partners or spouses, so when I talk to them, they just spill the beans to me. I think it's like a free therapy session or something.

He makes just over $100k, his wife makes about $60k. He's a hard working guy, he's always been, but he just isn't smart with his money. He doesn't spend extravagantly, but I think they spend a lot on little things. I don't think he's gone on a vacation via airplane in years. They bought a $500k condo five ish years ago, so whatever that payment is now.

I actually talked about this with one of our buddies about just paying off his debt, but I can't do that right now, I have my own financial goals and retirement plans. I need that $50k to compound and hopefully grow. My buddy flat out said no matter his net worth, he wouldn't pay it off, which I found interesting. He said, if you paid off his debt, he'd be back into the red a few years later.

Honestly, if I can get my net worth high enough, this is one of the guys where i'd pay his debt off scott free. Though, by that time his debt might be double to triple what it is now.. Who knows.

If he owns a place just get a HELOC and pay off the card with that for a much better rate. Even if they don't do it right and actually pay down the debt at least they'll be at a lower rate.

A 500k condo 5 years ago is 650-800k today.

Heloc the condo > pay off 50k CC debt > now he is paying 6-7% instead of 22% > stop spending money for 2 years, pay off 50k at 6-7%.

Not inconceivable for there to be something underlying that no one knows about and they are too ashamed to admit it. Wife's ex had a friend who was dating an ugly bitchy chick for a long time and she couldn't figure out why. It came out a few years after that the guy has a gambling problem and the chick has been paying off his gambling debt.






On a totally unrelated note. It's about time we do a MG1 wellness check? It's been awhile.

[PeanutButter]

I guess HELOC seems like the most appropriate course. I'll talk to them and see how much equity they have and try to get them on their way. Thanks guys!

In regards to salaries, I don't know all of my friends salaries, but I have a pretty good range. In our friend group we talk about promotions and raises and salaries, I guess that's just what we do. It's also common for people to ask directly, "So what's your salary range right now". I know this isn't typical friend behavior though.

[PeanutButter]

^Obvs you don't have PeanutButter's type of Rizz. He just says the right words and everyone just spills their guts/financial situation/tax returns/puts him in their will.

You know what's crazy.

One of my aunt's wanted to put me in her will.

I was away for a few years and I didn't know anyone except this one aunt, she would always come by and make me food, buy me food, she would literally clean my apartment.

I would take her for dinners to show my appreciation, I would remember her birthday, flowers for mothers day, etc. Just like normal appreciative behavior for someone who would make you food and clean your apartment. She was amazing. I moved back home but I still keep in contact with her. I will never forget what she did for me during that time.

Her kids were a-holes, they always yelled at her, gave her attitude, always disrespected her in front of me. So, relatively, i'm a superstar, a son she never had.

Anyway, fast forward a few years and my mom ends up telling me that she wanted to put me in her will because she knew I would appreciate it and I was always so nice to her, etc. My mom shut that down so hard and fast and told her that I don't need to be in the will, i'm taken care of, etc.

So yeah, I may or may not be in my aunts will.
