2018-01-10 at 1:08 AM UTC in do you think your life will ever get better
Originally posted by Captain Falcon I don't mind saying that
In total, I received cash + assets worth in excess of $50 million (as it stands right now). I've been trying to liquidate and put that shit into more stable forms like investing in hedge funds etc, but I've been doing it slow so I can get the best possible value.
It's not Warren Buffett money but it's enough
Wow! Nice job!
You can do some serious stuff with that money. Do you have it invested at all? It doesn’t need to be in hedge funds. Index would do you just fine. Virtually all indexes were up over 20% in 2017. Sure, taxes would be a bitch, but that would’ve been over $10 million in income for you if you had it all invested. I know you said it isn’t all liquid, but still.
You should start a blog just to chronicle what you do with it all. -

Originally posted by Captain Falcon It's not a super exciting story.
The US government made me an offer I couldn't refuse for my advertising agency, so they could basically use it for propaganda in the greater middle east. My agency (as an actual ad agency) was not remotely worth as much as they paid, it just happened to be well positioned for their needs. I would literally never be able to make that kind of money if I just continued to work and run it as a normal ad agency, plus I would spend the rest of my life grinding in unstable sandy shitholes, fighting local media consortiums and punching for shekels. So there was never any question about me taking the money. I made out like a bandit.
Now the thing about working is, I am never going to work some wage slave job. It will never happen, and it's not even about the money. In my mind, my talents far exceed any normie job, and the whole reason I started my own business was because I hate working for retards. I've been debating doing something like becoming a travel blogger or one of those instagram fags who travels to places and takes pictures with a camera I don't even understand, then posts sponsored shit for money. Idk. Maybe if I got a job offer front a F500 company or something, and the pay compares to my own valuation for myself, then I might do it. But short of that, I won't work a job, I have "fuck you" money and I would probably go "fuck you" the 2nd time a retard boss fucks with me.
That’s cool. You should just do what you want, even if it’s for free. If you don’t need the money, donate your time in doing something you care about.
Travel blogging could be good. I have a blog myself (not about travel). I haven’t built up a huge following yet, but maybe one day. I do basically for free (actually I lose money with it), but I enjoy writing about the topics I write about. Plus I’ve helped some people with what I write about, which is really why I started it to begin with.
I’m still doing the wage slave thing. One day I’ll have enough fuck you money, but not yet. Plus, I enjoy what I do, I’m good at it, and I earn a lot doing it.
How much did you get when you sold your business? You probably won’t answer that, but I figured I would ask. -

2018-01-09 at 8:58 PM UTC in do you think your life will ever get betterCaptain failcon, why did you retire in your thirties? Or are you disabled and you’re calling that being retired?
What’s your nest egg, or how are you generating your retirement income?
A man needs to work. It’s important to feel like we contribute in order to be happy. Get back to work, unless you can’t. -

2018-01-05 at 7:11 PM UTC in Fucking CHIPS
Originally posted by RestStop My wild guess is it's probably a packing/shipping thing. The extra air is probably a cheap cushioning to prevent crushing in transit.
Originally posted by Captain Falcon The air stops the chips from breaking. If you packed it with 100% chips, it would arrive at your home crushed.
These statements are true.

Yea, but what about pringles tho?
wait, maybe the canister IS just a marketing tactic as well, dear god.
Originally posted by Captain Falcon The can is a good way to transport it all but it's not possible for normal chips.
Pringles are made by mashing up the potatoes first, then laid out as a sheet, cut, and then individually molded during the drying process. This makes them have a regular shape that can be stacked and therefore has a really high packing factor.
Regular potato chips are simply peeled from whole potatoes, then fried. That means they will have irregular shaped and can't be stacked like that, so the best option is to just throw them all into a bag.
Pringles chips are designed to be stacked. They also have to ship upright. If they were laid down, they would also break. -

Originally posted by D4NG0 Inviting her to join a strange man and his friends probably threw up some red flags. Next time, try chatting with her more on the spot so she gets comfortable around you. When she relaxes, that's when you suggest a venue change.
Solid advice.
Even more, ask questions and get her to talk about herself. Women love talking about themselves and will like you more for being a good listener. -

2017-12-22 at 11:08 PM UTC in I'm pregnant againI couldn’t decide on a specific thing to quote, so I’ll just leave a couple thoughts here.
hydro, you’re being pathetic. Coming here and bragging about how much money you make trying to justify your line of work. Not only that, but you’re using that to say how much better you are than everyone.
Fox Paws mentioned that he thinks doctors and lawyers make between. $100k - $150k. I would think that’s on the low end. I make more than that and I’m not even a doctor or lawyer. The difference is I don’t come here and try to rub it in everyone’s face like you are, which is fitting since you’re used to rubbing things in people’s faces by now. I haven’t reached the peak of my earning potential either. For you, every day is your peak. Every day you are older, dirtier, nastier, and looser than the day before. Eventually you will dry up, and then what? I bet you haven’t been investing for your future, so are just going to find a sugar daddy to cling to?
