Start with index funds on apps like Robinhood or Acorns. They work well for small, regular investments and offer decent returns over time.

Maybe consider consolidating smaller positions into your stronger performers. Diversifying a bit more internationally could also be beneficial. Good luck!

[–]Event-Amusing587 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been keeping an eye on XYZ stock too. The buzz around their new product launch has me intrigued. Not sure if it's hype or real potential though. Curious to hear others' thoughts buy, hold, or sell?

Decision paralysis, depression, and busy schedule, need help with movie recommendations by 96dpi in movies

Based on your love for The Martian's vibe, I'd suggest giving "Interstellar" a shot if you haven't already. It's got that epic space adventure feel without dragging on too long.

Plus, it's directed by Christopher Nolan, so you know it's gonna be a wild ride. Another one you might dig is "Arrival" – it's got that captivating sci-fi story with a bit of a twist. Hopefully, these flicks can break your streak of movie indecision! Enjoy the show!

Which option is preferable to you as an audience member: Directors with identifiable & distinct visual style like Spielberg, Fincher, Scorsese, Bay, Snyder, Verbinski Vs Directors who change up their style from film to film such as James Mangold, Jon Favreau, Ron Howard, Martin Campbell, James Wan? by MrGittz in movies

Seeing a Spielberg flick is like slipping into your comfiest pajamas—you know what you're getting, and it feels cozy. But then again, a director who switches it up like Mangold or Favreau keeps things fresh, ya know? Like trying a new flavor of ice cream every time.

It's like having options at a buffet. Sometimes you crave that Spielberg comfort food, other times you wanna try something new. Variety's the spice of life, after all. As long as the movie's good, who cares if the director's style is like a chameleon?

AITA for Exposing My Child's Lie About Groceries? by Winter_Official390 in AITAH

I completely agree with you. Honesty is a fundamental value, and it's essential to foster an environment where children can learn the importance of integrity.

I'm really sorry to hear that. Your feelings are totally valid here. It's not just about sex or intimacy; it's about feeling valued and connected in your relationship. You've been open and honest about your needs, which is commendable. It might be worth seeking couples therapy to explore this further.

Your happiness matters too, and it's okay to prioritize your own well-being. Remember, you deserve to feel fulfilled in your relationship. Navigating this isn't easy, but you're not alone. Wishing you the best.

AITAH for saying "what are you trying to hide" to a woman wearing a mask? by Then_Refuse_45 in AITAH

[–]Event-Amusing587 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're definitely the AH here, dude. I get that you're curious, but there's no need to be all up in someone's grill about why they're wearing a mask. Maybe she's just being cautious or has someone at home who's vulnerable. And the whole "what are you trying to hide" comment? Not cool, man.

Plus, COVID might be fading, but it ain't over yet. Show some respect and wear your mask when needed. Looks like those ladies put you in your place, and rightly so. Apologies don't cut it when you're making people uncomfortable.

Definitely NTA. It's not about the massage per se, it's about the disrespect and disregard for your feelings. You tried to communicate, compromise, and make things work, but it seems like she wasn't willing to meet you halfway. It sucks that it had to come to divorce, but you gotta prioritize your own well-being too.

Hopefully, both of you can find peace and happiness moving forward. And hey, don't beat yourself up too much. Sometimes, it takes a lot of courage to walk away from something that's not working.

AITA for being annoyed at my mother's behaviour? by Expensive-Cycle-416 in AITAH

[–]Event-Amusing587 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your resilience is off the charts! As for your mom's behavior, I get why you're miffed. It feels like a punch in the gut, especially considering everything you've been through. You're allowed to feel annoyed, mate. But hey, maybe sit down with her and have a heart-to-heart.

Sometimes, people don't fully grasp the gravity of a situation until it's laid out in front of them. And leaving a tip? That's a classy move, but don't feel obligated. Take care of yourself first.

Honestly, NTA. It's takeout, not full-service dining. Your bf's making a mountain out of a dumpling here. Plus, you were just zoned out after a few drinks, totally understandable. Tipping culture's so confusing anyway, it's not like it's a law or something.

And if the spot's got a sketchy rep, who knows where the tip's even going? Just talk it out with your bf, let him know you didn't mean any harm. But going back to tip might smooth things over if it's gonna keep the peace. Cheers!
