When a college educated man of coastal elite gentry enters his mid twenties, he must make a decision as to which coat he will enrobe in during the fall and winter months for the rest of his years.

Senior year of HS I visit a buddy in his 1st year at a big city college that I was applying to. He brought me to a popular underage bar and snuck me in.
Two hours or so go by and I am having the time of my life. Well drinks, beer pong, talking to floozies. 1/2
Just found out old timey bars used to have a urinal trough and you could just whip it out and pee while you drink. The world used to be great before women ruined it
My buddy is black out, doesn’t want to wait in giant line for the bathroom. He finds a high top bar table in a corner and pees under it. He ends up peeing on a radiator and the urine steams up. Bar is filled with aerosolized urine. He gets thrown out so fast. Traumatizing. 2/2

4:50 - leaving to beat a bad rush hour in order to eat dinner with spouse/family and perhaps even log some solid hours of shareholder value creation after dinner
5:01 - mouth breathing clock watching NPC with 0 aspiration of upwards career mobility
I asked my dad’s buddy why he’s so well read and laid back and just chilling all day he told me the SEC banned him from ever working for a publicly traded company again
$100k in a money market account yielding 5% or ~4% after taxes means you can use interest income to entirely fund ten $1 bud light drafts at Coogans every day of the year

American dachas are an all you can eat all you can drink bacchanal on a floating city. Russian dachas are a shed in the woods with no running water.

I am begging people who are trying to form a reading habit to just read stuff that sounds fun. Reading is a consumption hobby that we as society have agreed is valuable (it is). No one ever goes “I am going to watch more TV but only history documentaries.”
When I was growing up, my dad had a friend that was just perma-unemployed. He would just bum around, smoke weed, hang out. Nothing wrong with him just didn’t like working.
There’s always been people who opt out of the 9-5. Now they have a platform to reach millions of people.

Did we watch the same Arrival? Aliens literally come to help expand our understanding of time so we can help them later on in the future. Clearly an “aliens help us movie.”

Kind of disingenuous to say this. From accenture’s site there are way more industries she doesn’t cover. Plus she’s a manager = her work is just as much about project managing the engagement and interacting with clients as it is actual deliverables.
I live 2000 miles away from friends and family. It is rare but there are days where I feel alone in this world.
I am very thankful to all of you on X / fintwit for engaging with my dumb little musings and jokes. You all make this world feel a little less lonely on those days.
What I say: I am coming home for the Holidays
What my parents hear: In the second half of Q4, I will have 40 hours of capacity a week to do free manual labor for you.
There’s gotta be one dumbass retail investor on Robinhood that heard chipmakers were the next big thing and bought a bunch of calls on PepsiCo - Frito Lay
Feels like everyone’s end game in their financial career is asset allocator (hf, pe, am, etc). Am I a dweeb for wanting to work in corporate finance for the rest of my life?

Not many people know this but EY isn’t an initialism. It’s an abbreviation for “eyyyy im stroking my dick i got lotion on my dick im a freak man fr”
No heterosexual man has ever said "Yeah I'm into her, but her career isn't going well -- I'm not sure it'll work out between us."
Ever.
In all of written history, never has a heterosexual man wished a woman had a more developed 'career'. You're imposing this on yourself.

• Think of a non-issue then go on bird app, ask “who is building this”
• Lunchtime, IRR sandwiches

Closest sushi restaurant is 45 min away? Going to be a tough sell to the fiancée but she’ll understand once she realizes we can achieve FIRE in Lansford

So you are trying to tell me the guy who wrote a bedtime story about some explorers smoking pot with George Washington is just having a little laugh? He’s doing a bit? Be for real.
If I owned enough shit to need a storage locker and found out the sweaty storage tomato guy owned the storage facility my shit was in I would simply burn all of my shit in a giant pile but that’s just because I am a giant hater.

What is interesting about this is that all social strata engage in this in some capacity.
E.g. Nantucket, cape cod, ocean city, myrtle beach. All some variant of plain crewneck/hoodie screen-printed with white place name.

“No dude $14 per bud light is a totally reasonable price to pay in a city that shuts down at 1:30”
“I know there are no options for late night eats but we can eat some leftover clam strips I have in my fridge”

If you are in a non revenue role all you need to do to ensure job security is just pick 1 recurring thankless task and do it without fail every time without complaining.
