re: DoorDash Driver was not happy about $2 tip

I'm still blown away how many people regularly pay 10-30% more to get crappy food delivered to them.
I vastly underestimated these services and thought they'd be dead a year or 2 after Covid.

re: Could you date a woman who claims to be bisexual?
Posted by rintintin on 8/8/26 at 7:12 am to Jeb Busch Lite
I dated one for a long time who previously had a GF before me.
She was hot but a little coocoo. She still had a bunch of lesbo friends and that's when I learned they're all pretty much bi and attracted to guys. Most were just burned at some point and switched to girls or had shitty childhoods and were acting out.
Was a fun time but I moved on once I realized she wanted to get married and I knew she wasn't the one.

re: Who is your inspiration for RDR tomorrow? (NSFW)

RDR early years were a blast, still have fond memories, although it started getting a bit too popular.
It was always a pretty fun crowd though and tons of hot broads in tiny dresses.
How's it look these days?

Unless it's just to get a match, a taxable brokerage offers better tax treatment than these Trump accounts. Why pay income tax rates when you can pay preferable LTCG rates with no restrictions on withdrawals?
Can you expound on this a little more?
Are you saying its more tax advantaged to contribute to your own account and gift it to your kids rather than fund a Trump account?
Or is there a separate avenue to open an account for a kid?

This is a great idea and would be awesome if you could pull it off.
I built something similar for myself using Claude, which is basically my own financial dashboard that gives me an overview of the market and has specific suggestions tailored to my brokerage accounts (Roth, 401k, etc.).
I never truly finished it as I just don't have the time but had a ton of ideas I wanted to incorporate.
One fun one that people on this board may like:
- A degen market buzz section that basically scours the big social media sites and highlights the most talked about stocks from places like X, reddit, Stocktwits, etc.

re: Is College Football better now than it was 10 years ago?
Posted by rintintin on 8/3/26 at 6:46 am to FlyingTigerBo
There's better aspects and worse aspects.
I agree there seems like more parity. Indiana winning it all is a huge plus for college football. Whether we like it or not, conferences other than the SEC winning is a good thing for college football nationally.
That being said, thee are absolutely some wretched aspects of it right now that have taken away from what makes CFB great, including:
-unlimited transfer portal
-unmitigated NIL
-conference realignment
-dilution of the regular season
-unenforceable rules
Fix some of these aspects with some common sense approaches and I think it can get back on track.

I think that's kinda the point. Social media these days is nothing but bots, influencers and rage bait.
And the ills of that stuff is becoming well known and common knowledge.
Will it be successful? I don't know, certainly nothing like FB, but I think there's a decent sized market for a "back to the roots" social media platform.
That's actually a practical pursuit in this day and age.
Whether you like it or not, there's a huge contingent of young people pursuing this stuff and there's money in it.
Certainly a better use of time than art history, medieval history or whatever liberal arts degrees many pursue that have zero ROI.

Started a small position in MP and will spread across some of the others.
I like where alot of these charts are sitting at the bottom of ranges.
What's your timeline on most of these?

re: Tom Brady articulates what’s wrong with the modern NFL…
Posted by rintintin on 7/20/26 at 6:24 am to RollTide1987
I don't think the gameplay is necessarily mediocre, what's mediocre is the product for the audience.
Commercials and penalties have made games almost unwatchable. If not for gambling, fantasy football and multi-game viewing I think they'd actually see it in the numbers but unfortunately it's not apparent.
Goodell said something really smart not too long ago in that the NFL's competition isn't the NBA and other pro leagues, it's Apple, Netflix, etc. They're competing for attention. And the more they drown out the game with non-play, the more people are going to divert their attention elsewhere.
That's my opinion.

Was actually talking about this with my siblings yesterday. I was born in the 80's but most of my entertainment (movies, music, etc) is from the 80's.
One my siblings said it best "nobody was embarrassed in the 80's" :lol:
The music, clothes, and just general aesthetics of the 80's was so wild and seemed to come out of nowhere.

Solid thread
I just learned recently that there's professional grade vinegar you can get at home depot and it does all kinds of cool shite.
Used it as weed killer so far, but interested to read some more applications.

Similarly, I often think about very weird scenarios and actions and consider that someone has likely done that simply due to how many people there are in the world.
