- Comment on Did something about mass produced ice cream change like 10 years ago? 1 week ago:
One thing most have done is incorporate more air, as part of shrinkflation. That makes it more soft because it’s less actual product.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
If your portfolio is down that much over that period of time, you are likely not making good investment choices. S&P500 is up like 50% since 2021…
Your losses or lack of portfolio growth isn’t really something to complain about online without more info on what your asset mix is. Unless your goal was just to complain, and not get any advice from helpful anons that are having more success in investment choices.
It’s invested in total market funds, some tech, some big cap companies, and healthcare
Tech, big cap, and healthcare are already part of the total market funds, so you’re over-weighting (taking excess risk) by investing that way. Assuming you’re pretty young based on time in market, you’d be fine with just the total market fund, until you have more experience with the market or just want a set and forget, for a while.

Well that’s downright diabolical…
- Comment on Gen Z job seekers should be willing to work for free, long hours, ‘willing to do anything,’ says Squarespace CMO 3 months ago:
Their quoting of “unpaid internship” as something other than “unpaid work” is a distorted view, and part of the problem. No one should work for free unless they are volunteering for charity or something. No one should work for free at a for-profit company, that’s for sure.

- Comment on Why bag the hydrant? 7 months ago:
Cheaper to do bags than re-paint off-schedule. Usually cities have a schedule for maintenance, and the bag, in this case, is preventative for rust without being off-schedule for painting.

I also back out of pages that have this, for the same reason.

Site owner and whomever in marketing wrote that. Pure psychopathy, IMO.
- Comment on How do poor people in the states give birth without money? 1 year ago:
US credit score won’t get you sent to jail or a re-education camp, at least. At least, not yet.

Recognized != Moved
- Comment on What is the Israel thing going on? 1 year ago:
He moved the US embassy, not Israel’s capital. I’m sure he would have loved that much direct power over a nation-state, though. Also yeah, a dick move.
