If alcohol is a depressant, why do I feel so good this afternoon?

Happy White Sox Series Day

@scotchscotchzz Ryobi is great for the average homeowner that skips harbor freight

I witnessed a man at Home Depot go down a dark path. This choice will lead to a broken home, a promiscuous wife, gay children, and unfinished projects while drinking seltzers. If you don’t take your tools seriously you don’t take your life seriously.

@tangm886 Like, diamond hands and stuff 💎💎🙌

discovered an old Fidelity account i forgot about

@gregarizona @Symply_rhoda1 I’ll never speak bad about mayonnaise again. Glad to see you recovering!

Stage 4 colorectal 52 y/o in May 2020. I was fine, a little tired but thought I was "just getting old". After a few weeks of being tired and no appetite, my wife noticed I was "walking like an old man", shuffling my feet and groaning when I got out of bed. Again "just getting old". Eventually I could only poop little rabbit turd pebbles. Went from 185 pounds to 160 in a few months. Thought it was a hemorrhoid, went to a Doctor and he said I needed a CT scan. Just by luck it caught the bottom of my liver, it showed a mass. Scheduled a full body scan... five spots in my lungs, 40% of my liver was cancer, all of my intestine from my colon to my sphincter was cancer... Two years of hell to fix all of it, now Im almost "normal", no cancer thanks to the Mayo Clinic.

Medical experts : how do people develop stage 4 cancer without noticing until it’s too late ?

@aakashgupta Maybe it’s because ground beef is $8/lb and I can get twice as much chicken for that. It’s just good math.

The reason Costco spots recessions before economists is buried in who shops there. The median Costco household earns above $125K. The US median is around $80K. The typical member is college-educated, owns a home, and has stock-based comp or 401(k) exposure that moves with the market. When THIS household trades beef for canned tuna, the upper-middle class is admitting their balance sheet just changed. These are the families whose discretionary spending IS the economy. That signal is invisible to economists for structural reasons. BLS releases CPI on a 2-week lag. Jobs data hits the third Friday of the next month. PCE, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, runs monthly. NBER does not formally declare a recession until 6 to 21 months after it started. The 2008 recession was officially dated in December 2008. It began in December 2007. The committee was a full year behind the actual economy. A Costco category buyer sees the protein mix shift in POS data within 48 hours. The protein hierarchy itself is a precise instrument. Beef costs the most per gram, has the shortest shelf life, and demands the most planning. Chicken is half the price, longer shelf life, more flexible. Canned tuna is one-tenth the cost, indefinite shelf life, zero prep. When a household walks down that ladder, they are pricing in a future income shock that has not yet shown up on a pay stub. The ribeye-to-tuna shift is a hedge against bad news the official data will confirm six months later. Walmart sees the bottom 40% trade down first. Costco sees the next 40% trade down second. By the time Whole Foods sees it, NBER is two quarters away from making the recession official. Costco hits the signal first because their members are the most exposed to wealth effects in the entire economy. Stock-based comp. Home equity sentiment. Executive bonus uncertainty. When the comp letter feels shaky, the chicken goes in the cart instead of the ribeye. Galanti spent 40 years as CFO running the highest-resolution recession sensor in America. The Fed runs models. Costco runs registers.

@InvestingAddict The key to the index funds is go big early. 20% of your income minimum. Then you back off. There are no free lunches. People getting lucky in tech stocks doesn’t mean index funds are garbage. I say this having gotten lucky in tech-but index funds got me the ability to risk it

Millionaires tell you to buy Index funds. Broke 20 year olds tell you to full port individual stocks.

@PokeMarr Oh. I thought everyone knew. A certain, ornithological phenomenon.

Holy shit

@DekmarTrades What if I found nvda before this

If you found bitcoin is 2012 you are a millionaire. If you found Tesla in 2018 you are a millionaire If you found Nvidia in 2022 you are a millionaire If you found Palantir in 2023 you are a millionaire If you found Sandisk in 2025 you are a millionaire If you found …

@TheAlphaThought Goal posts are basically on wheels my guy. They keep moving out

If your portfolio hit $500,000 tomorrow would you finally feel financially secure, or would you immediately move the goalpost to $1,000,000? That answer tells you everything about why most people never feel wealthy no matter how much they build.

I don't understand how they keep adding jobs in the midst of all of these historic layoffs. Where tf are these secret jobs coming from?

@InvestingAddict I started investing just as the Great Recession picked up steam. Every 100 in became 50 soon after. I kept going. This will dip as all the other peaks have. Keep going.

I don’t know when but these 20 year olds all in on individual stocks are eventually going to get absolutely wrecked.

@SEATTLESUBMISS If I ever get rich enough to be around a monk seal I want to leave $100 tips for servers and drop $50 in the Lego aisle at Walmart

A 37-year-old Seattle man allegedly threw a rock at an endangered Hawaiian monk seal in Maui and when confronted allegedly said “I don’t care, I’m rich. Fine me with whatever you want. I can pay for it.” He was detained and the case has been referred to federal investigators

@MoeH4snf @FluentInFinance I pay mine with credit card. Pay it off every month and use the points for vacations

@FluentInFinance You can’t pay a electric bill with credit card

I left my credit card at a restaurant last night and the person who found it bought gas, groceries, and paid an electric bill. They fed their family, kept their lights on, and filled their tank with a stolen credit card.

@drinkgaragebeer Our golf league could use that money to buy each guy in the league a 6 pack from the course before we get in the cart. It would be perfect.

UPDATE: I accidentally got $2500 approved for this idea so we’re looking to sponsor 10 of the weirdest things in these replies with $250. The less professional your idea or organization appears to be the better your odds honestly. Will pick winners this time tomorrow good luck!

Respectfully some of you are asking Garage Beer to sponsor activities we genuinely cannot tell are sports, crimes, or community events. Either way keep em coming.

@KimJongUn0Mas @Juicewag

@baldbucknut @Juicewag Because I side with historical proof? Yeah, you might be the retard here

A cursory look at raw vote totals in Ohio today should give just about a 5-star fire alarm at Ohio GOP HQ

@julia_doubleday He hated sand! Tattoine was covered in sand! It was the most logical place.

It’s always weird how they were like “we must hide the twins where Vader will never find them” and Leia gets put into ultra witness protection as some foreign princess and Luke they’re just like um give him to Vader’s mom’s stepson on their home planet, he probably won’t check

@2024dion It’s the smallest right

Ohio’s three biggest metros are almost the exact same size (2.3m, 2.2m, 2.2m) and yet the answer to this question is effortlessly easy

@KimJongUn0Mas @Juicewag Sshhhhhh crawl back under the rock from whence you came.

@baldbucknut @Juicewag If you would rather take a mentally retarded, teacher-union backed lunatic over the Hindu that's your business. History shows people vote down the ballot by party. Your anecdotal evidence is irrelevant.

@theficouple Homes you liked were listed for that, and were bid up significantly more.

When you think back to 2020-2022: Mortgage rates were 2.5-3% & homes you liked were selling for $200,000. ...But your drunk uncle said prices were going to crash so you bought zero real estate...

@Ambs96 @MattWalshBlog I volunteer. I’ll use my weapons as long as it’s legal, no cost to the govt for my services. Quick, painless, free.

I am challenging any death penalty opponent — there are millions of them, allegedly — to step up to the plate right now and explain why this guy should not be executed. His guilt is established beyond any doubt whatsoever. His crime is utterly savage and heinous. Tell us why he doesn’t deserve to die. Go ahead.
