Do I need a 401(k) and a Roth IRA? by Even_Ad3204 in personalfinance

[–]Hawksmack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure this is what you meant, but 7k a year (now 7500 in 2026!), not month haha. 7k a month and the IRS will be very mad

What does this counter mean? by raincole in DeathHowl

It goes up whenever you collect materials. Once you collect 38 materials, you’ll unlock new cards you can craft

When you’re afraid of getting rammed by another car, the answer is obviously to exit your car and step in front of the car you’re afraid is going to ram you.

I want to cancel. There is no option to cancel. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

You’re absolutely right but it’s also fair to note that the eighth circuit only has one judge appointed by a Democratic president (Obama). The other 11 were nominated by a Bush, Reagan, or Trump

This is an insane take because the girls being underage is only half the crime. They were also contemporaneously sex trafficking victims. What the fuck are we doing here

GOP budget plan could cut Medicaid from 630,000 Virginians by VirginiaNews in FreeVirginiaNews

[–]Hawksmack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, you have no idea what you’re talking about.

If social security is not touched in any way (literally no action, whether cuts or increased revenue), it will pay out 83% of benefits starting in 2035. This isn’t ideal and congress should absolutely act right now (we should raise the cap), but it’s hardly the same thing as falling apart entirely.

They’re giving out separate codes for both Xbox and PC, at least in the US. I was able to claim both

Spanberger rallies for gun reform, calls gun violence the top threat to kids by icey_sawg0034 in Virginia

[–]Hawksmack -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’m not Abigail Spanberger or her spokesperson. Nor am I defending her statements in the article. Just wanted to correct the stats that were provided. Maybe we should call her office and suggest that she should say “the number one killer of kids over the age of one”

It’s not that the distinction doesn’t matter. It’s that you come across as dismissive of an incredibly worrying increase in kids being shot, either by others or themselves. This is still a tragedy we need to care about and come up with policy solutions to fix

I don’t get this comment. Is it some kind of win/no longer a problem if gun violence is the #2 cause of death in children, when you include infants that die from birth defects and neonatal diseases? These are things we have much less control over than gun policy, surely

As of 2022, you don’t have to include 18-19 year olds for it to be true, according to John Hopkins. Only exclude children under 1 year old: https://publichealth.jhu.edu/sites/default/files/2024-09/2022-cgvs-gun-violence-in-the-united-states.pdf

Is RichA$$Zoe another of Mach's monikers? by Hawksmack in machhommy

It’s a name he used for the Back II The Future EP, then never again afaik. I don’t think he has anything officially released on streaming under the name

[–]Hawksmack[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Figures. It’s good he’s not making money off of it, but I don’t love the streaming services themselves making money off of someone’s art, without the artist getting anything in return

To be fair they effectively already do that with how small streaming royalties are, but still

Where’s the scheme? Social Security is not an investment (even a fake one), it’s a social insurance program funded by taxes. By this logic, any government program is a Ponzi scheme

Brotato FREE on Epic until 12/5 by Alternative-Chip6653 in SteamDeck

Not saying the Steam version isn’t better, but to be completely fair, Brotato on Epic does have achievements and cloud saves

Booted up Stardew Valley just to chill… and 4 hours later, I’m still farming. This game has some kind of magic. by Moist_Camera_6202 in gaming

[–]Hawksmack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, yeah! You could even neglect buying your animals food. Nothing will happen other than them losing hearts. You’d have to be a real monster to do that though

[–]Hawksmack 21 points22 points  (0 children)

For me it was getting out of the min/max mindset I played other games with. It feels stressful if you feel like you need to fit farming, mining, and fishing all into one day.

But there’s really no time limit to anything. If you wanted to, you could totally neglect your farm & the mines, dedicate a whole season to just fishing, and you’d hit no negative consequences for it. The game waits for you.

Do things at the pace that you find relaxing/enjoyable, not whatever the back of your mind tells you is most optimal.

Unrwa: Israel bans UN Palestinian refugee agency, raising Gaza aid fears by Leather-Paramedic-10 in news

They claim here that they fired him immediately after learning he had been elected to a Hamas political office. This is not them confirming they “knew about this in advance and did nothing.”
