I can only think of a single person who's had something like a successful career starting wrestling post-40. If he's a hardcore wrestling fan he should know what an unbelievably stupid move he's making.

In short order? That depends on him. Some wrestling school will gladly take his money until he figures out that 41 is too late to start a job that involves falling down thousands of times.

Best case scenario he's going to be working local shows with other guys who also have jobs on the side because they don't make any money. You quit your job when you do get the big payday, not before. Pursue your dream but don't be an idiot about it.

Doctor Butts posted:Back in the 90's early-mid 2'ks, Microsoft Word let you print barcodes on envelopes so that it could conceivably get sent faster. Then that feature seemed to disappear or I can't find it anymore. I looked it up after I posted, apparently it was 2013 these new barcodes became required, which tracks with my moving history. I felt like an idiot when I learned about them pretty recently.

Almost everyone in wrestling has to pay their dues doing that, but at 41/5'8" and no experience, he'll never get past that level.

How can i get through to him that this is a bad idea? “we'll just have to cut back, maybe get cheaper plans on internet and cancel the netflix, oh and buy generic groceries” I know that this isn’t the point of the story, but I absolutely loathe how the personal finance industry convinced everyone that they needed to scrimp by cutting coupons and buying the generic brand. It literally does not matter, AT ALL, compared to increasing your income even a fraction of a percent

AITA for not sticking up for my grandmother after my wife told her to f- off out of her hospital room?quote:About 3 weeks ago my Wife-33 went into premature labor with our daughter at 31 weeks. It was entirely unexpected and both my wife and our daughter had a horrible time and it became quite dangerous for the both of them. My wife became preeclamptic among other serious complications and for the first week we weren't even sure if either my wife or our daughter would make it. Luckily they both survived but our daughter is still in the nicu after 3 weeks and probably will be in for another 3, and my wife is still in the hospital as well.

AITA ripping up my brothers apology letter and screaming at him to just leave me alone we aren’t familyquote:Context and a very short version- when I was 17 I was in a relationship with my twin brothers best friend Jake it lasted 8 years till we were all finished collage and my ex had gotten enough money off his extremely religious parents to get a head start in life If you don’t know were this is going my brother and Jake were together the whole time and used me as a cover because my feelings didn’t matter. My brother had been out since his teens which is why they came up with the idea to use me so his parents wouldn’t get suspicious. My parents were angry with my brother even cut contract for a year but they all made up and have been pushing since for us to speak since

Apparently if only I used cheaper bread my $50k of student debt would’ve just melted away. Exactly what I mean, it’s absurd and I feel like it’s either a conscious or negligent choice designed to frame the growing wealth inequality as a personal failing. Let’s say you were the most extravagant diner ever, and ate lunch at a swanky place every workday and couldn’t expense any of it. So you’re spending $5,000 per year just in lunch. So you switch to stealing lunch and eating for free every day. You divert every penny into your student loans. $5k/yr into $50k+interest means it would still take more than a decade to pay them off. Versus paying 50% of what you currently do because housing has doubled, tripled or quadrupled. Or cut your loans in half because education has massively outpaced inflation. Or increase your salary by a quarter because wages haven’t kept pace but nooooope it’s the nice bread that costs like a buck more that’s the reason you can’t buy a boat

AITA for being mad at my parents because they withheld information about my medical history from me?quote:I have had nose and sinus issues my entire life. I could never breathe out my nose to the point where not only my smell and taste were almost non existent but i could only mouth breathe. I also had snot 24/7. Sometimes it was like a leaky tap where it would not stop. I went through so much clothes and bedding because of getting snot all over everything and my clothes too. I got made fun of a lot at school and it used to make my teachers angry. I was so self conscious and didn't have any friends. My parents always said there was no cure or anything when they took me to the doctor. How dare you get ahold of your own medical records! That's private and not for you!

Involuntary Sparkle posted:That kept happening to us but we discovered that you had to block out the barcode too. The last few times we moved, it was always within the same building, so they always got rerouted correctly. Not sure when barcodes were added mail in the US. POSNET was like, the early/mid 90s, but has apparently been superceeded. Like with checks, the barcode overrides anything else so if it's ever there then when it's dumped into the bulk processing equipment it just spits it out back on the way to you.
