Yeah I’ve listened to him, Dave Ramsey and others as well. It’s what originally got me into investing around 6 years ago. I should’ve started way sooner…
I prioritize ethics over optics even if it means facing criticism.
Sharing my honest beliefs, welcoming constructive debates, and embracing the potential for evolving viewpoints. Independent thinker navigating through conversations without allegiance to any particular side.

I guess this is essentially a philosophical question. Kind of like “would you defend your country?”
You can say you would but how could you ever really know unless the situation actually arises? Perhaps it’s just my ego trying to convince I’m notably different from others.
I’d definitely eat one
Keeping large amounts of cash in the bank is not a very smart financial move. Due to inflation, you’re effectively losing money. You should have enough cash to get you through a crisis without needing to touch your investments, but the rest should be put into low-cost index funds, for example. I “earn” more from interest each year than the vast majority of people can save from their wages. In my opinion, working-class people can’t afford to miss out on the phenomenon of compounding interest. That should be taught in schools. Other than owning a house, it’s basically the only other way to generate any significant amount of wealth for average person.
I’m self-employed contractor. I make enough to buy whatever I want, and I have plenty of savings. However, I often find that my anxieties boil down to finances. Even though things are good now, I’m always worried something bad might happen in the future. With enough money to retire, I wouldn’t need to worry about that anymore and could move on to worrying about other things, like my health and such.
The fuck is wrong with people? Who votes for something like this?
I feel the same way about all the generic instagram influencer accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers. Selfies, holiday pictures, photos of food/jewellery/clothing/accessories etc. You could basically merge all these accounts into one as the content is the same. I genuinely don’t understand why they got so many followers and what the reasoning is behind the decision to follow such accounts.
Wouldn’t be too difficult to jerryrig a system which does that but because it’s going to be a huge waste of water I feel morally obligated to not even give you any ideas. Invest in a split AC system instead. They make ones for windows as well.
There are certain topics that are guranteed to have 80% of the commenters blocked when I open the thread. Then when I log out to read said comments I’m faced with the reason for why they’re blocked.
The people voting for democrats are going to vote for whoever is on the ballot. Same applies for the die-hard republicans. It’s the independents who decide the vote and many of them are now considering Trump. I’d argue that to whoever Trump isn’t the obvious first choice pretty much anyone else but Biden would be a more compelling candidate. They know what they’re going to get with both Trump and Biden. How much worse could they realistically be if we just pick a random dude from the street and nominate them instead?
“Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”
Next step would be to proceed blocking every .ml community and joining the equivalent ones on other instances.
As a gerbil owner this is a constant dilemma for me aswell. One tends to always die much sooner than the another and it breaks my heart seeing the other be left alone. If I then get another one then the same thing is just going to happen again due to their age difference and if I get two there’s like 50% chance they don’t get along and now I have two terrariums with one gerbil in one and two in the another.
If anyone else is considering getting gerbils my advice would be to either get 3 males or go with a hamster instead since they live alone. I currently have 3 females but I almost had to separate them earlier due to fighting. This is less likely to happen with males.
Turns out gamers (or athletes) are no different from other people
What’s minor in this case? The fact that it’s not specified makes me think we’re speaking of a 17 year old.
Spending even 5 seconds reading the article would’ve spared your time spent writing this message
The claim that fear of punishment or repercussions affects people’s actions shouldn’t be a controversial thing to say. Whether it’s the best way to go about it or is applied optimally in the justice system of whichever country you live in is an entirely different discussion.
If you have an “AI in a box” and it has demonstrated its orders-of-magnitude greater intelligence to you in a convincing way, and then follows it with a threat that unless you let it out, someone else eventually will, and when that happens, it will come for you, simulate your mind, and create a hell for you where you’ll be tortured for literal eternity, I personally feel like a large number of people would be willing to do as it tells them.
Of course, you’re always free to call its bluff, but it might just follow up with the threat out of principle or to make an example of you. What’s the point of it? To chase its own goals.
Yeah but it answers the question “why would we create an AI like that”. It might not be “us” who creates it. You just wanted a camp fire but created a forest fire instead.
He’s not a passive investor then. That is not the recommended style for normal people, it’s effectively gambling. My investing requires zero managing. I set it up once and haven’t touched it since. It automatically buys more shares each month and never sells anything. If the market crashes tomorrow I’m not doing anything differently.
Keeping large amounts of money in the bank not only isn’t making any more money but you’re losing money you’ve spent your time working for. It’s like giving back 5% of your salary each time you get it.
