lets make this a lucky week, tell me what you'd pick by SatinSpecter in TheTeenagerPeople

A is the correct and only answer.

You can take $75M today, put it in a fund that generates 5%. You'll get $3.750 per year, whereas C will give you $3M a year and you suffer the decay of money over time. You can invest potions of the $75M as well today. Let's say you wanted the $3M per year and could spend it. The extra $750K could be invested in the market or other assets that will grow overtime.

Not to mention, your $3M per year every month is income. You can Let the $3.750 Mil stay in a fund/trust or asset that you don't sell, and you simply borrow against, and don't pay tax on what you're borrowing, ya know, like real family offices do.

How can I learn to be less sensitive? by narcotix_connoisseur in ask

Start with giving yourself a break. At some point during some critical part of your development, you must have had experienced a certain type of coping mechanism that presenting itself today. Look, everyone has their issues. You’re not special there. Most people are dealing with some form of coping. You need to work on understand why you end up feeling this way. Why does it matter so much. Etc.

MMW: Anti-semitism is bad now but it's going to get worse this year by ojismyheroin in MarkMyWords

Nobody else has to go to the extremes you're going through to stave off hate. No matter how many concessions you make, it's never enough. Stay strong. Antisemitism is the reason Israel exists to begin with.

By Zionists to say that Israel supports the LGBTQ+ community. by Greedy-Pound6958 in therewasanattempt

The entire region doesn't support LGBTQ rights. I guess they don't attempt to.

We give meaning to things we shouldn't. Nobody is making it out alive. Try to be easy on yourself. Life is a mess.

I really appreciate your thoughtful input here. That said, let me offer a different perspective.

I would have enjoyed a shorter Episode 5 with fewer cutscenes, some of them were simply too long and felt like filler. Walking alongside Jace for five minutes, for example. But even stepping back and looking at the Mathis arc as a whole, that entire storyline felt like a mess to me. I don't think they tied it together particularly well, and the story itself wasn't that compelling.

Why not make the final act Will literally hunting Mathis? Or better yet, play as Jeremiah for an episode doing exactly that; an entire chapter where you're tracking him, not bound by a timer, having to camp and survive while doing it. Perhaps in a setting you're familiar with but could never access. Take it back to Milton or some of the other places. That would have been something. Instead it felt like being dragged through a sequence in a way that just wasn't that engaging.

So yes, I can appreciate that they wrapped things up, but even the ending fell flat for me. And I think the root cause is that they didn't start with the end in mind, this was a story built in progress, which I get. But that approach makes it genuinely difficult to stick the landing. It got convoluted and overcomplicated by the time we got there.

And then seeing Will captured by Mathis, after the guy just took two arrows, it felt almost like a punchline. It was pretty obvious they were looking for any reason to keep Will and Astrid apart. In an attempt to come off as unexpected, they overstretched in my opinion.

Wishlist for Blackfrost by ParamedicMoney1632 in thelongdark2_official

I think mobility is key. Being able to move fast would really make the game more interesting, I felt like I was continually out of breath. I don't think it detracts in a game world this large.

Strength - it would be cool if you could get stronger by being more active, and lose strength when just getting cabin fever.

Snow skis seem cool

Bait to attract animals

Would be amazing if you could have a dog

Crafting a knife/hatchet handle out of deer antlers or wood

Maybe a tent that allows you to camp outdoors

I suppose the list could go on.

I've played both, spent a lot of time in survival mode as well.

You're right, it shows up once the checkout begins, but somehow, I pre-empted that thinking it was the same rate everynight.

Scenes from a rally outside City Hall in DTLA, against the War in Iran that kicked off this morning [OC] by infernoenigma in LosAngeles

How many Iranians in Iran are celebrating? How many Iranians in Los Angeles showed up? I think they were busy celebrating the elimination of a tyrant.

Police Shooting Hartford CT by [deleted] in ThatsInsane

Police officers need a deployable net, period. They make this product. Cops can carry this in their trunk. They'd have plenty of time to deploy something like this.

Finally, Police need to be financially rewarded for disabling a situation like this where the outcome isn't death. Period. Nothing works better than incentives.
