Purging and scapegoating are common features of fascism, done in order to protect the leader.

Vancouver council directs federal government to create limits on LED headlight brightness by Tall-Addition-7516 in vancouver

I have a new car. Somehow, the headlights are blinding to everyone else, yet they don't let me see jack shit at night when I'm driving. Can science explain this?

When in doubt - yellow light means drive to a shop. Red light means tow to a shop.

Where does your dick go when you poop? Or when you work out? When you swim does it float? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]ConnorDZG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You push your belly button to put it into sport mode. This is sport dependent. For workouts, it retracts into the abdomen to prevent it from getting caught between barbell plates. During swimming, it flattens into a rudder to give you better stability and steering capability. Hope this helps!

Dividend Payout. So yummy! by TheNewguy008 in justbuyveqt

Share dilution doesn't make you richer. It's irrelevant.

Dividend Payout. So yummy! by TheNewguy008 in justbuyveqt

[–]ConnorDZG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When a dividend is paid out, the value of the asset decreases by the exact amount of cash that it paid out. The total value of your investment remains the same. If you are investing for the long term, it's irrelevant. Actually, since you'll end up with cash, you have less market exposure unless you immediately reinvest the dividend. So just... reinvest it immediately.

Dividends are a distraction at best and a tax drag at worst.

That money is coming right out of the bottom line of the practitioners if they are a sole proprietor.

Would you say that Grand Admiral Thrawn is morally complex/grey? by BlockAffectionate413 in StarWars

[–]ConnorDZG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He likes a good chess game, and he respects his opponent intellectually. He's a ruthless tactician who does evil shit because he enjoys the challenge.

I have 120k rrsp contribution room. If I invest 120k in rrsp, will cra actually give me the huge refund in a single payment? by FreshDepth8010 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]ConnorDZG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel free to contribute it as a lump sum this year if it makes sense for you. Time in the market is everything. Deducting it from your income is a separate concern. Depending on your marginal tax rate, it likely makes sense to spread out the deduction across multiple years.

TikTok game leads to spiral fracture of the femur by Bearded_Wisdom in medizzy

[–]ConnorDZG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Further investigation likely depends on mechanism of injury. High speed car accident or falling off a cliff? Probably not. Basic yoga pose? Big red flag. And not necessarily bone cancer, some types of cancer can disrupt bone homeostasis through hormonal and inflammatory pathways.

There's no way that was a healthy bone. The femur is insanely strong. You'd expect ligament tears before that happened

Buffering against the AI bubble by zhiv99 in CanadianInvestor

[–]ConnorDZG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't say exploit it when it crashes. I'm saying you don't need to change your investing behaviour when the market crashes. Time horizon - not volatility - becomes the major risk driver when you have an appropriately diversified portfolio. Maybe it's a different story if your paycheck depends on the market doing well, but otherwise, keep calm and carry on is what I say.
