   Right side of Tommy's piehole, on 11/28/25 16:40:  "But since you seem   
   to need $120 SO badly you had to wait for Black Friday..."   
      
   Likewise, same piehole, on 11/28/25 10:58:  "Followup #2 ... My take is   
   that in actual reality that $120 seems to be very important to YOU.   
   Needing that for groceries or utility bills, are you?"   
      
      
   > But I am sick and tired of you implying I do.   
      
   If you're so sick & tired of discussing wealth, why is it that you're   
   invariably who brings it up?   
      
   You're always desperately trying to make you look good, and often in   
   comparison to Alan, who's ~2 decades younger than you and has had ~half   
   as many years of wealth accumulation.   
      
   > Tit-for-tat that was.   
      
   Except that your 'revenge' is invalid.   
      
   When you've pulled these dick-measuring brag attempts before, I've   
   specifically noted that your comparisons were invalid because of your   
   age difference.  You've been asked for what level of net worth would be   
   appropriate for someone who's a fraction of your age.  Did you ever   
   answer to that?  Nope.   
      
   So until you do, you're at risk of being reminded of your systematic   
   dishonesty whenever you start to try to brag about money.
