  It’s a weird one because it’s a huge expense but it’s also completely concentrated to a subset of the population for a subset of their life. I think it should have a public option. 2 toddlers, not infants, could cost us 50k/year

  Definitely. I personally merge earlier, knowing it’s less efficient and will put me back relative to zipper merging - just to avoid the stress of trying to get in between potentially uncooperative mergees. But I also don’t get too mad at the mergers - maybe they’re in a legit hurry

  Some people think that if there’s a hwy lane closure in 30 miles, you’re the asshole of you don’t immediately merge over

  I don’t actually think it’ll go to anyone who needs it - probably mostly another trump family grift. The thought experiment goes that he doesn’t actually pay any stochastic terrorists, he just convinces a whole lot of them that they’ll be taken care of if they pop off and cause enough chaos for the election to be cancelled. Used that way, 1.8B can go much further than it would for an organized / funded militia

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just saw a “financial advice” YouTube short that recommended 3.5% down payment and investing the rest in the stock market, assuming that the returns will exceed mortgage interest payments and fees. It’s a risky approach, but the rates aren’t necessarily predatory in the USA - instead they make you buy insurance (PMI) for if you default, which adds to your payments

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is "dark humor" generally acceptable or is it just my parents/culture more sensitive towards jokes?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think “dark humor” can be a pretty broad term. You were just poking fun and lightheartedly highlighting a real risk of not getting a new charger. On the other hand, I know people that have had house fires and lost every material possession they had. Keepsakes of lost relatives, photo albums, cherished souvenirs, etc. some people have lost loved ones. The older you get, the more you accumulate tragedy, be it first or second-hand. Humor that hurts or scares people isn’t kind, even if you don’t agree with their sensitivity. Then again, when you collect enough tragedy, it can become funny again because you just have to laugh

  Is there any way of knowing which country targeted the school? Maybe it doesn’t matter much but I am curious

  I honestly feel a little bad for them as a group. FBI director flies out wanting to borrow some glory - are these euphoric kids supposed to stand up and object when a teammate invites him in? Or when the president calls, are they expected to object or call him out?

  I assume that most of them just went along with it, the comments “absolutely” and “2 for 2” showed support of the women’s team. And now, they probably hope it’ll just blow over. I blame Patel and the president the most, which leads again to blaming the electorate and Congress that put/keep them in power

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should this be the year we finally try voting for other candidates?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the right answer. USA is first-past-the-post voting, so vote/campaign for who you love in the primary and vote for outcome in the general

  Gambling/crypto is all risk, porn is risk-free reward

  If people have more alluring alternatives for cheap dopamine, maybe video games can prioritize satisfying gameplay and narratives. Play has value, that’d be ok

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What challenge from a game isn't worth completing and what challenge from a game is worth completing?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can beat factorio with extremely inefficient gameplay, layout, etc. There are two achievements in that sort of “taught” me how to play better. First was the one that limited how many items you could handcraft, and second was the speedrun achievements. Both were doable but forced me to automate more and plan things out in advance, and I can’t remember any other game’s achievements that qualitatively changed how I played.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a real, actually working way to earn money online without having a job?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s an ETF, you can buy as much or as little as you want. My understanding is that they take their money and sell options (covered calls) with at-the-money strike prices on NASDAQ. Each month, they pay out dividends, something like 1% per month (bit over 12% on a yearly basis). So if you park 100$, you get like a free dollar per month, or 12 per year.

  It’s not hugely popular because you pay short term gains taxes on the dividends, a lot of tech does better than 12%, the shares can decrease in value if NASDAQ goes down, and if you wanted to (and had the startup cash), you could do the exact same thing without paying the ETF fees - buy 100 shares of QQQ for 62k, then sell a covered call for a month out, rinse repeat

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a real, actually working way to earn money online without having a job?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you parked a million dollars in QYLD, you’d get about $120k per year (pretax) in exchange for your contribution to society of “having a spare million dollars”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a girl asks you if you're big, are you supposed to lie or not?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think a lot depends on context. I’ve only been asked this in public razzing environments where joking back is appropriate “why? are you really loose?” Or “your dad didn’t complain” If flirty, “play your cards right and maybe you’ll find out” works. Like others’ve said. If joking and flirty, “what I lack in length, I make up for in quickness” To your question, I wouldn’t give a number. Treat it as a vibe check and be confident. your dick is fine, bro.

  I made the mistake of playing too much in early access and it was a lot of fun but I am worried it ruined the experience. Looking forward to trying a fresh playthrough!
