Random Thought Thread

Alright, now I’m officially planning to become the laziest ever.

Tomorrow I’m gonna work like 14–15 hours straight. Literally a ton of work.

And then I’ll come home and just… REST.

Today I already pulled almost 15 hours too.

So the rest that’s waiting for me is going to be the most delicious thing in the universe.

I’m pretty sure I’ll want sushi or something like that.

Yeah, I’m a simple guy.

But when it comes to hardcore, high-level, professional-grade RESTING after a brutal workday… guys, I’m an expert.
 
Once again, I’m amazed at the madness of people.
Today I was talking to a person who turned $1.4 million into $50,000.
I barely managed to convince him to at least keep this remaining amount.

The most interesting part is that even after that, I still have to listen to a ton of doubts and claims that I’m the stupid one because I “don’t understand” that sooner or later it will all pay off for him.

But usually after a month, two, or three — these people finally realize what happened.
Honestly, sometimes it really feels close to some kind of schizophrenia.
What’s most striking is how incredibly similar these people are to each other: the same arguments, the same “proofs”, the same unshakable certainty in their position.

I bet i could do that. The money thing i mean.
 
I never have & still don't understand why sellers on The Exchange find it necessary to delete the asking price from their listing after a knife is sold.

Sellers can mark the knife as SOLD & strikeout the asking price without deleting it &, besides, the asking price is NOT necessarily the price at which the knife was actually sold.

So, can anyone explain the reasoning for deleting the asking price from the listing entirely after selling a knife? 🤔

--------------------------------

I've never done it when I've sold a knife & never will because I don't see the point in doing that.

And, FWIW, I've negated the relevance of the possibility that a seller will delete the asking price from a listing for any knife that I've purchase on The Exchange by stating that "I'll take" a knife for the specific asking price. That way, even if the seller deletes the ask from his listing, the ask will still be evident in my "I'll take it" post that the seller cannot delete. :cool:

On the other hand, this strategy doesn't work for listings are are "closed" to posts & where the seller only allows offers by DM & were all negotiations take place privately.

So, the above doesn't work in all cases. 🤷‍♂️

It keeps the comments of "one just sold for x amount cheaper last week". I see its the norm here so I just follow suit. This is the only plus side I can think of.
 
I think I prefer sporadic values rather than prices increasing constantly or gradually. What one pays for something doesn’t mean it’s worth that. I personally would pay a little extra if it’s something I’ve been searching for. I’m also not trying to top what someone’s money, desperation, or lack of self control can acquire.
