um excuse me posted:It was my interpretation that his boss and this thread seem to agree on a lot. Certainly not the financial advice. And now we know in addition to the boss having more money than him.......he can continue to make poo poo decisions and be just fine even if he loses his job. BECAUSE HE'S GOT A POLICE PENSION. So of course he can treat his 401(k) like a money vending machine. Absolutely nothing this guy does, says, or can get away with money-wise is the slightest bit applicable to our "very good financial condition 30-70k a year" OP.

um excuse me posted:It was my interpretation that his boss and this thread seem to agree on a lot. I've gotten the impression that Ry's boss is going out of his way to keep an eye on him and make sure he isn't left to fend for himself. I'm not sure how much of his advice is direct advice or just stuff Ry has absorbed by hanging around. I guess we'll figure more out in the future.

If you're not nice to the cops who will show up hours after you were robbed or your neighbor was shot and shrug their shoulders? Cops have only helped middle class white people feel safe, by design. gently caress cops and treat them mentally like a rabid animal. Sorry you were raised by rabid animals who thought your association to them would help you.

Wasabi the J posted:If you're not nice to the cops who will show up hours after you were robbed or your neighbor was shot and shrug their shoulders? I get that. One time someone robbed a money order for rent out of my mail box and tried to extort me. I told the guy I didn't see why I should pay to get my money order back. So I reported it to the police, and the police were like heck yes we have something to use against the drug dealers in the complex. Well the drug lord living above me (this was when I lived in the drug den I moved into so my lady friend at the time could be closer to her drugs) rang up my workplace every 30 seconds until I could answer the phone to tell me who it was and who it wasn't because he was awaiting trial and didn't need the heat (he overheard the report on the police scanner). He commanded his lackey to give it back to me, but we never crossed paths. However when I got home I put cameras on my car because I expected retaliation. While I was testing the recording on of the higher ups in the organization came out and was like did my boy give you your money order back, and I was like you mean you boy xxx. And he was like yeah my boy xx who took your money order he is suppose to give it back. Anyway I took that recording and other evidence I collected to the police station who called out the investigator. The investigator drove up to the station, didn't even get out of his car, and just yelled at me for interfering with their investigation without taking anything I collected. As soon as I got home. The drug lord started pounding on my car window and stuffed my money order through the crack in my door shouting here's your money order we want no trouble here. Later when the pizza joint I worked out burnt down I repaid him in kind with like 20 2L of soda and other things we recovered from the store. Still it was annoying that the cop chose to yell at me and no take my evidence when he was excited before. Turned out he was a crooked cop down the road and was selling stuff in another town.

For the record. I dont drink, smoke, smoke weed, or consume any other drugs. I tried cigarettes when I was with that lady because it became something g we just did together and eventually I would smoke cigars for like a month at a time but I never got into them. I got drunk for the first time when I was 22 because my Vietnamese friends gave me wine for my birthday and I was drunk for 2 months straight so I cut it off due to a horrible family history of drinking and gambling that lost my mother's side of the family 90% of the land they owned and realizing I was susceptible to being an alcoholic. I only minority picked it up again while I was a bouncer, but haven't drank since except at environmental professional meetings which stopped after I got gout. I didn't smoke weed for the first time until I was 28 and my best friend and I were splitting ways. Me to NC her to Iowa and figured we would see each other the a while so to I let her pop my weed cherry as a going away thing. It was an interesting experience which is another story if I haven't already told it here. But I haven't picked it up since. Overall I can't keep focused enough to do something like that nor do I support it as it seems like a waste of money for the minor effects they have on me.

Drone posted:Were you drinking ungodly amounts exclusively from leaded crystal carafes or something It's caused by eating meat. Mostly organ meat, but when you're stuffing $40 of Bojangles down your maw a day I don't think it matters if it's a moderate or severe trigger because of excess. Sugar's another trigger and I just assume dude was loading up on whatever the largest beverage option is.

The_Muncher posted:I guess I shouldn't be surprised you got gout after you explained your diet... I actually manage it pretty well now. Usually I can tell when a flare up is about to happen and drink a lot of water to flush it out. Flushing it out makes my urine smell like rotting fish. Now that I know that I may accidently binge eat 10,000mg of sodium I know why I have to uptake my water from time to time. Prior to learning I had gout, I thought I was just randomly kicking walls in my sleep really hard and breaking my feet or spraining it. First time it happened, my impromptu doctor was like, yeah I think you're faking pain, so I am going to drug screen you before treating you. Then for 3 years it was diagnosed as me constantly spraining my feet til I came down to north carolina which has better med care overall than west virginia. I marked up with a sharp where all the pain was, and the doctor was like, that's not what a sprain looks like let's get you tested for gout. My uric acid was 11 I think. And he was like yeah that gout.

please stop saying accidentally. Maybe "Unknowingly" eating 1000mg of sodium. but you don't accidentally live in a drug lord apartment, or accidentally shoot someone who's in the back of your truck, or accidentally buy a telescope with a loan from payday loan etc.

Every time OP reveals his life is in danger, there's another life-threatening set of circumstances right around the corner. Remember when everyone was worried he might find a fiery death in his truck? Or when the thread thought he was getting poisoned by the exhaust pipe? Now it's just straight up diabetes. What's next? Powerful wraith kings hunting Ry down for the ancient artefact he's accidentally stolen from an underwater temple of Hob-Daroth?
