Mines bigger - I make $800k and I inherited $16.7 M and I married a perfect 10 model (with prenup) and I adopted 6 kids and I own 3 super cars, 2 boats and I saved 16 people from a fire

Oh and I may run for president in 12 years

P.s. this is tongue in cheek too (not)

I call BS on the pre-nup!! Lol

Okay??

Tongue in cheek post in response to all the ridiculous AMA posts we get in this bowl.

Hmmm what degrees do you have and where do you live? And congrats on the kiddo!

Thanks!

Why do skinny jeans suck?

I've got thunder thighs and a big booty, so they look terrible on me.

If you're asking in general, it's because I would prefer not to know who regularly skips leg day. Way too many people out there have upper legs not much bigger than my arms... 😬

Should I stay or should I go now?

If you go, will there be trouble? If you stay, will it be double?

Hi Fishes,

I currently not doing great in my current organization. I have 5+ years of experience. My package is 5 lpa. I lost my both my parents in 2021 due to COVID. My condition is very bad financially & emotionally. Requesting all fishes to please help me with some referrals if there's any vacancies. Thanks in advance.
