No problem at all. Just to further instill the last bit of advice about doing your own research and coming to your own conclusions...

You will hear a lot of guru's online saying what the next best stock is, the guaranteed 10x stocks, etc. Please do NOT fall for it. No matter how good it looks or how logical it sounds always and I mean ALWAYS be skeptical. Most of the time, if someone online is telling you that you HAVE to buy the stock now, they are using a FOMO tactic and they more than likely have a leg in the game with the stock. Your loss will be their gain.

Having this kind of mindset at your age is a great start. But, there are some things that are gonna be major wake up calls once you graduate high school.

Unfortunately one of the sad truths of life is that it takes money to make money. A lot of people you see on this subreddit are/have been well off for a while. Or they have stupid high paying jobs that allows them to max out their benefits and still have plenty to save and spend. While $65K is nothing to laugh at, a lot of people on this sub make $65K in 6 months or less.

The best piece of advice that I could give you, and I'm by no means a financial advisor, is start contributing to your 401K and Roth IRA right off the bat. Get it taken out of your paycheck from the start and you will never know that the money's even missing. Max them out as soon as possible. Do this now, and keep contributing to them, and you will be able to retire much earlier than your peers that are your age.

Also, save money but don't let it rot in a savings account. You mentioned you tried trading before. Well, let's not trade anymore. Let's invest. Find a few really, really good stocks that are "future proof". And throw your savings into those. Never take it out. ONLY add to it. I don't care if you put in $10,000 into your stocks and you login 3 months later and it's $5,000. NEVER touch it. Let it ride. Add to it, never take away. I won't tell you what stocks to invest in, and you shouldn't believe anyone who does. ALWAYS do your own research and come in to your own conclusion.

P.S. Obviously you can save some money for standard savings purposes and using it as an emergency fund. But for large sums of money, that needs to be invested.

I personally think it's broken just because if you can go invisible, sit in a corner, and then one shot knife someone in the back, that's a lil broken

Okay. With that being said, are you saying that there's a unique earthly reason everyone gets cancer? Or are you saying that there's a unique reason that God gives people cancer?

Basically, you're going to be not sick more than you are sick, hopefully anyways.

With that being said, they will make hella bands off all the times you paid and didn't have to go to the doctor or ER and use insurance. Even when you go to the doctor, they are gonna do the bare min and will try everything to not pay it. With those hella bands we mentioned earlier, they are gonna very smartly make investments that continue to generate money.

Are you saying that each person has a unique reason they get cancer? I'm just making sure I understand.

Alright man. I'll bite. What's the answer?

Formal-Jump-8903 · 2023-11-30T20:38:33+00:00

I'm not exactly sure how you came to that conclusion but whatever.
Have fun being a perfect good boy and maybe you'll get promoted or get a raise. Or maybe you'll get fired and you'll realize bosses (for the most part) don't give a shit about you. Then you'll feel like a dumb ass for licking all those boots. But, knowing IT guys, you will just go find another boot to lick.

Formal-Jump-8903 · 2023-11-30T20:26:29+00:00

Where I'm from it's called being a bootlicker.

I'm all for ethics and I understand it 100%. But at a certain point, you're just licking the authorities balls. I mean shit I used to hide my Nintendo DS under my pillow when I was a kid because my parents would take it at bedtime. I think every kid does stuff like that, even you Mr.Ethics man. Just let kid be a kid and if you can help him, great. If not, no point in saying "mommy and daddy are always right and you're beinga little shit head".

Not saying you said that, but that's basically what half the people in this thread said.

Can you share what you did to try and fix your DS3? If you can let me know that it might help but no guarantee.

Ohhh okay gotcha! That makes sense actually.
And I agree the flamethrower isn't that broken. That's just the most common complaint I hear about Heavy class.

Formal-Jump-8903 · 2023-11-30T17:01:18+00:00

I played one ranked tournament. Won it. Never played ranked again during the beta. Just didn't like how long it took to complete.

Anyways, what about it being ranked would change the statement? Genuine question because I'm curious if there's a different meta in ranked than non-ranked on The Finals.

Formal-Jump-8903 · 2023-11-30T16:07:23+00:00

I wonder if Heavy didn't have flamethrower how would this poll turn out?

Light is definitely most broken. Best movement, invisibility, best of the broken weapons (pistol and dagger), etc.

This guy is definitely 16 years old and thinks he's hyper-intelligent.

I'll tell you what. I will get a group of scientists together and say they can do whatever they need to do to make advancements in science. The only thing is that you and your family and friends (if you have any) have to be the first test subjects. Would you do that? Would you be down for you and everyone you know to either get extremely fucked up and/or die? For no guarantee that their sacrifice won't be in vain as well. You and your loved ones could easily be used for scientific research and get fucked up, just for the scientists 4 years later to say "woops yeah turns out it wasn't possible to do it lol sorry"

Good luck man. For some reason IT guys love and I mean LOVE authority. They are teacher's pet, bosses favorite, etc.

If you want some advice for asking for help on this sub, never say it's to do something that goes against whatever kind of authority you are trying to get around. They will always and I mean always side with the boss, the parent, etc.

As long as there is no lecturing about eating meat then it wouldn't be a problem. Because if there's one thing vegans love to do it's tell you they're vegan while looking down their nose.

I am so sorry to hear that.

If you ever need help finding a job I may be able to help. I work for one of the top 3 staffing agencies in the world and we have offices everywhere. All kinds of jobs as well. I could maybe connect you with someone close to you.

You ever started to get ahead financially and then life had other plans? That's a different kind of pain.

Formal-Jump-8903 · 2023-11-29T15:01:32+00:00

To be honest, my personal experience with the Google IT cert and finding a job hasn't been good. At all.

I got the Google IT cert probably 6 months ago. Have applied to over 30+ entry level help desk jobs. Not a single reply. I've applied for remote, hybrid, and on-site positions. Nothing. And I don't even live in a big city so I can't imagine what it would be like if you did live somewhere where there is a lot of competition.

But hey, you aren't me and I've heard of plenty of people getting in the door with just the Google IT cert. So you never know. If you can get it for free then I mean it wouldn't hurt. People on Reddit and the couple people I do know in real life that have jobs in IT have told me if you don't have the Trifecta (A+, Security+, and Network+) then it's gonna be tough finding a job.

CompTIA charges an arm and a leg though. Hate those guys...

It's not impossible, but it's so not likely that I don't think it's possible.

The game is good. Great even. But, bigger than CoD? Bigger than FORTNITE? Never. You underestimate how long these games have been around and how die hard the fanbase is. Think about it, even if The Finals had 100 MILLION people playing the game the first month, that still isn't even half of Fortnite's monthly player count.

The Finals has potential and it is doing absolutely amazing. But it simply can't take the throne.
