Is that Pop hoarder also a professional wrestler? He's got a bunch of wrestling belts in those cases. Maybe winning wrestling titles is where his GWM really shines...?

DACK FAYDEN posted:There's still one backdoor way - the first few issues of Walking Dead are pretty valuable (because they had a tiny printing and obviously were not hoarded and then became a TV show years later). Wouldn't ever try to do it again, since trying to predict what becomes a popular TV show and hoard accordingly is literally impossible, but that's not really a weird bubble, just a cross-media effect. I have a whole lot of early Deadpool comics from the '90s but they are in lovely condition because I read them rather than leaving them in plastic. They'd be worth a bit if I'd just hoarded them, thanks to the movie.

According to NALP, US public defenders start around $47,500 and with 11-15 years experience make about $76k, which hardly seems worth it given their hopeless case loads.

I have two FunkoPops on my desk at work - one of Zoidberg and one of Moriarty - but both of them are out of the box because I think they're cute, fun toys and not my meal ticket to early retirement. They generate a lot of good conversation with people who come visit me in my office. I think they're actually kind of fun toys, but I highly do not understand the compulsion to collect them all. That contract is absolutely loving bonkers. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

My coworker who has a few thousand in credit card debt and is taking money from his IRA to pay for a bachelor party trip to Miami came in this morning talking about how he made $17000 last night from one stock. The stock did a 20:1 reverse split and the share price was now at $2. I had to break it to him that although the share price was 20x higher he now owns 20x fewer shares so he really didn't make any money at all.

EAT FASTER!!!!!! posted:That contract is absolutely loving bonkers. The contract seems terribly in his favor; 100% rollover, can use money from future months with no penalty, doesn't include a bunch of expensive items. It only makes sense as a compromise if he was spending $20k/yr before. I assume instead that he spends a bunch on the toys and wrote a contract that didn't limit him so that he could brag to other toy collectors about how he spends so much on toys that him and his wife needed to sign a contract.

IIRC, that's more or less right. The big law firms will have the same or very similar salaries, because if one of them steps up to, say, $190k for first-year associates, their competitors are going to do the same or risk losing best talent and/or existing associates jump ship. It's not like a paper agreement, just that they know they have to match each other relatively closely, and those salaries are generally announced so it's fairly transparent to associates and applicants.

BWM for sure, but thats a lot of flammable plastics Jesus what a terrible shrine to poor impulse control and lovely, consumer behavior. The thing about these little plastic figurines is that they're actually of relatively poor quality. When you look at them closely, the paint is badly done in places and a lot of times the injection molding isn't especially crisp, so you're pretty much paying for the license and the manufacturer's markup. When you then take that $10 retail and make it 2, 4, 10, or 100x that price, you loudly announce to the world that you're a loving rube and don't deserve the dollars your privilege and sheltered middle class existence afford you.
