Thank you. You are the first person to actually understand what I am trying to say.
- Comment on stock market 1 week ago:
I think you missed three facts that I keep trying to hammer home.
- I genuinely don’t care enough to do research and spend time watching the markets. I’m fortunate to have more money than time these days so $750 is worth vastly less than me doing it myself.
- It’s safer. This is a huge % of my life savings were talking about. I don’t trust myself to do it.
- I don’t care. At all. In any capacity.
- Comment on stock market 1 week ago:
Ah yes there is no such thing as experience or knowledge in financials!
I’m in IT and it’s the same way! Throw on an LTT playlist and by the end of the day you’ll be a sys admin!

THEY want to make money
Yes, but they make money when I make money. I pay like $750 per year to keep my account open, but other than that he only takes a percentage of my monthly gains. The more money he makes me, the more money he gets from me.
And yes of course I could do enough research to match or very them in gains and I could spend enough time watching the markets to make sure I am making sound decisions. Or I could just pay someone a few hundred bucks a month to do it for me. I know what decision I chose.

So I do actually have a high interest account from Capital One it’s very nice. But yeah there’s a bunch of rules like minimum monthly deposits and it takes up to 5 business days to transfer money out of it. And because y’all are assuming, I also have a 401k and HSA maxed out, and a Roth IRA I put some money in each month.
But yeah I intentionally left out a lot because I am not a financial expert, which is the reason why I went with a broker anyways. But here are the answers for your questions
- I have a broker through JP Morgan. I don’t know the guy and don’t talk to him outside of the once a month he calls me to update me on what’s going on.
- I don’t know what stocks he is trading and I don’t care. Every once and a while I’ll ask him to invest in something I think would be good like Nvidia or AMD but by the time I hear about something he already moved money around
- Of course he is working for the company and not me. I am not that wealthy haha
- He consistently makes me 4-6% gains which is plenty for me.

Hi so I am actually maxing out a 401k and HSA, I have a IRA too but I only put a little bit into it.
But this is my long term savings and retirement. I don’t trust myself enough for that and I’ve made 4-6% gains consistently since I started. Significantly better than I would be able to do (I know because I’ve tried with smaller amounts) plus I don’t have to worry or think about it.
- Comment on stock market 1 week ago:
Sure, but this is my retirement and long term savings. I’m able to admit my limitations and this is one of them.
I go to a doctor when I’m sick too. I trust professionals.
- Comment on stock market 1 week ago:
Actually just avoid the stock market entirely and pay someone else to manage your money.
I just have an account that I deposit money to every week when I get paid (actually it’s automatically deducted) and never think about it.
- Comment on me irl 1 week ago:
So in Chinese traditions “10000” is just a stand in for “really big number”. Kind of like how, at least here in the states, well say “there’s a million of them”. Not that there is literally 1,000,000 of the thing, but more there is just a lot of them.
- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 2 weeks ago:
Yes, I am agreeing with you. They absolutely were not at their posts 2.5 hrs after end of day on a Friday, which is likely why they responded to the tickets Monday morning.
And I am also agreeing with you that there should have been someone(s) who stayed late to actually watch this. But it’s not gonna be me haha
- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 2 weeks ago:
As someone in IT, the answer is in the comment.
City Hall is closed by 7:30
So nobody was ever in the office and nobody on the team wanted to stay (I’m guessing here) 2.5 hrs after work to actually do any troubleshooting.

My dad’s smoker is also able to set key frames so you can have it ramp up or down in temp at various points while cooking. And it can either be set to change temp at a time or when one of the probes reaches a certain temp.

I remember the couple of times you could pick up a controller and steam link for free. And my dumbass still didn’t do it :(

You can’t understand because you can’t even read the numbers in your own sources haha

- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 2 weeks ago:
Imo, that should be the primary role of the government
- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 2 weeks ago:
I understood that from a IP and trademark stand point. It could be hard to retain your copyright or trademark if you are no longer controlling a product
- Comment on Interesting 2 weeks ago:
Yeah that wasn’t a great point. The US spies on its own people sure (but literally every country does) but it was nothing like the Soviet union.

Hosting a website over a VPN is not a great idea anyways. You should use something like Cloudflares proxied domains or tunnels. Your users will get far better performance and you’ll see significantly less load on your network.
- Comment on shrooms 3 weeks ago:
I can’t do shrooms either. I’ve tried a number of times from various sources and all I get is 10 hours of nausea and an overpowering urge to sleep but I can’t because I’m on shrooms.
The psilocybin pills worked for me, although I was microdosing them as part of a research study so maybe that was the difference. But Ive never had any issues with other psychedelis either.

My handbook at work specifically bans buying illicit drugs for customers with the company card.
It doesn’t say anything about buying it with my card and getting reimbursed though…

You just gotta remember the mnemonic for them!
Many Wild Owls In Winter Never Make Unusual Noises, Always Calm and Focused
But that’s just taught to us in class as little kids so I forget it’s not second nature for the rest of the world!

California alone is the 4th largest economy on the planet. It’s GDP is larger than Japan…

Quit trying to upsell me and just do the oil change!
- Comment on Why does good faith matter ? 4 weeks ago:
Arguing what you believe in is not what “arguing in good faith” actually means. If you’re arguing in good faith it means you aren’t using any logical fallacies, insults, and are genuinely attempting to have an actual conversation.
So you’re Florida man could absolutely be arguing in good faith about the beehives in the center of the earth even though that’s very easy to disprove, while someone arguing for gar rights can arguing in bad faith when they start saying things like “every single Republican is a Nazi” (strawman argument) even though it’s objectively a good thing.
Here is a good article about what “arguing in good faith” actually is.
And yes, I know it’s Grammarly which is an AI tool, but I read through it myself and it’s a good article.

That circle is roughly about 2000 miles across (according to rough measurements in Google maps), which is only about 2x the size of the Gulf of Mexico.
But yeah, this would be a cataclysmic event.
- Comment on Great plan 4 weeks ago:
I think it’s more because pipeline work is inherently unstable so they get paid a lot but it’s for short contracts. Plus it means businesses are more used to transient workers.
Like my buddy can clear $80k in 3 months working 100hr weeks. There’s no IT job in the world that would give you those kinds of hours.
- Comment on Great plan 4 weeks ago:
People still do this. I have a buddy who only works 3-4 months a year. Hes a pipeline welder so long hours and hard work, but then he travels around the rest of the time
