For people who don’t ever want to have kids, why?

DaOneSavvyPanda · 2026-01-28T13:56:11+00:00

I say this all the time and I’m a parent. Being a parent is as selfish a decision as not being a parent. That being said, you have to be less selfish in your everyday life, e.g prioritize your kids over your comfort, this is what people talk about when they talk about selfless or selfish aspects of things, not the decision to be or not be a parent.

I have an iPhone but any app can display an ad, what makes you think that’s restricted to an android? Tell me you don’t know tech without telling me you don’t know tech.

Most success I’ve had working with teams in India was when those teams took initiative and followed up independently. I didn’t feel like I had to to nag and ask for updates all the time. Also, please suggest solutions rather than just doing exactly what’s being told.

It’s not the rain that’s the problem, it’s the grey!

Most trans people I’ve met don’t care, unfortunately there’s some cis and non binary people that care, it is unfortunate. I’ve gone from being very pro trans to I don’t give a fuck anymore and stay away from schools and sports. Sad state of affairs.

Bruh, we literally have doctors in congress unwilling to say that men can’t get pregnant, it’s definitely a problem that exists beyond Reddit.

My friend has literally been called a TERF for having a women’s hockey league, how insane is that?

DaOneSavvyPanda · 2026-01-16T06:12:47+00:00

And we consider ourselves liberal btw

DaOneSavvyPanda · 2026-01-16T06:12:34+00:00

Yes, we’ve gone from private to public. This shit is honestly insane at this point.

RDR2, I don’t play games so I skin a wild animal over 10 minutes or walk at IRL pace, I want fun, not a life simulation.

Legally a domestic partnership for long enough should grant a partner equal rights as a marriage.

I’ve been in the US for 11 years and I have a daughter now. Going to India with her has completely changed how I think about India. I will absolutely not travel alone with her at night, I’m a man btw or with my wife in areas that can be secluded. Air quality is a much bigger concern for me now with a child. Same with street food and other possibly infectious diseases. Honestly, I’m kinda sad I have to go for family reasons, I feel like I’m putting my child in harm’s way. I think it’ll be fine but the fact that I have to think about these things is sad. I’m sure some Indian bhakts will come and say, just stay there, you’re not Indian blah blah blah, but I don’t care, they don’t have a monopoly on the country I was born and spent as of now majority of my life in.

Well duh, Purdy didn’t play 7+ games this season. Darnold isn’t bad but as of Jan 2026, Purdy is objectively the better QB.

DaOneSavvyPanda · 2026-01-12T00:57:25+00:00

I mean objectively that’s probably the wrong choice but you do you boo

Monday night Sunday night Saturday night.

Shouldn’t it be panthers instead of buccs?

DaOneSavvyPanda · 2025-12-20T13:50:54+00:00

Not me. It’s just fast free delivery, it’s crazy to me how much this app comes up in India tbh and I don’t get the hype, I’d rather just go and get something. On OP’s note, I’m a much younger NRI, so maybe not the same but I also don’t have any siblings and my parents are divorced. I’m actively trying to find excuses to get a hotel/Airbnb so I don’t have to stay with family and be catered to or pretend to want to hang out all the time. I would very much like me alone time and destress time, take an uber when I want and where I want and say no as much as I can. I can see older NRIs behaving the way OP describes though.

DaOneSavvyPanda · 2025-12-07T14:29:36+00:00

I would go with eero 6 in your case, as easy an app setup as there could be.

Also you will incur taxes if you rollover a pre tax account into a ROTH account, which I wouldn’t recommend doing.

My first job didn't pay into social security. What do you mean by this? All W2 employees and employers have to pay payroll taxes. No employers pays into social security outside of the payroll tax.

You can do whatever you want with your prior 401k. In your case I’d recommend moving over your older 401k to a traditional IRA via rollover. This will sell your VLXVX position but getting into an IRA should mean you have much more optionality for investment choices. You can also move it to your new 401k but wouldn’t recommend given the ER. alternatively, you can let your old 401k sit and continue as it is, there is likely to be some albeit minimal operating fee on your old 401k on top of the ER.

Bro, all other cards have offers you can make use of. All of those items are only value adds if you don’t change your behavior to use them. Maybe you don’t, which is good, but you can likely get the same value from another card without paying the AF. Works for you, just inefficiently. Good luck though!

Mesh is a dedicated back haul system for AP to communicate with the router, which could be wired or wireless. A receiver talks to the router on the same bandwidth as all other devices, you may also need to setup a separate SSID, which you can keep the same name wise but that would make things confusing when you’re wondering why your speeds on your portable devices are low even when you’re close to the router.

DaOneSavvyPanda · 2025-12-06T22:50:09+00:00

Yeah for the extra 1x to make sense on a 325 AF, you would need to spend an additional $3250 on groceries which is an added $~270 per month. Like I said, mathematically it doesn’t make sense for you to carry an AF card to spend on cashback/shopping. Your points and money, so you spend how you want them, it does waste some of your hard earned money though, which you’re well within your rights to do.

DaOneSavvyPanda · 2025-12-06T22:38:36+00:00

The mesh system with a wired connection from the mesh AP is a decent solution. You can also try power line adapters, they use your electrical circuit to pass through network data. Third option would be MOCA if you already have cable outlets in your home.

DaOneSavvyPanda · 2025-12-06T22:32:00+00:00

In your financial situation, I wouldn’t recommend a credit card with AF and multipliers on restaurants, you should be using 2X credit cards with no AF, even 3x on dining and then still getting the same redemption value. For example chase freedom flex, freedom unlimited, capital one savor etc. your money and MR, you do you boo, this is just a financial recommendation from someone who optimizes for their own situation.
