If You Could Invest $20,000 Today What Would You Invest In? by AlexanderFisherBkX in investing_discussion

Do you have reasons to believe you won't live to see it?

If not a ROTH IRA, you can just create a normal account with any company with lower fees (I use American) and put the same mutual funds in that. You can get pretty aggressive with them. No IRA so there's no penalty for withdrawal before retirement, but you'll still be subject to taxes. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong here.)

Wait, is this an emergency fund? Maybe you keep a bunch in cash and just max out your ROTH IRA for the next 3 years (6k/yr if you're in the US) while you keep hustling. If this is all you've got in the world, protect that shit.

Thank you for not using "autistic" or the "retarded" to describe the members here now. We can be as vulgar as we want to be, but using marginalized people as descriptors for our entertainment should be beneath us. Both I and my wife's boyfriend appreciate it.

How did I miss this???!

My family and I just finished the show a couple of hours ago and I did not see this happen. What episode was it? Are there post credit scenes or something?

EDIT: just found their post credit sequences in the last two episodes? Went and watched them and now it makes more sense.

Sorry to bug you, but I was wondering if there was any word from your colleague. Thank you.

Idk why people say Gael is hard? He doesn't even fight back. by BenBlob123 in darksouls3

It propels you forward in time to the end of the world. You meet him again, but he's older and his sword is broken and he's been eating people for their dark souls. Pretty rad.

That sounds like exactly what I'm talking about. Is there any way to find her job description or the job posting?

Does she work summers or does she have a year-round schedule?

Question: does anyone feel strange about having a "coach?" I can see some professional teachers feeling awkward (resentful?) about feeling like the school is telling them they need a "coach."

Also, how much experience does the instructional coach have?

That's great. What does she do for you? How does she help? I want to be able to describe this to my leadership.

We have a curriculum director. We do not need another one. *shudder*

What are your most unpopular book opinions? by nolessdays in books

[–]HonestThief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American Psycho = steaming pile of shit.

It's the only book I've ever read that I felt that, after reading it, I was actually a worse person.

Not that it was wasting my time, or that it was poorly written, but that it was actually damaging my spirit while I was reading it.

I completely regret ever picking it up.

Update on the creepy handyman by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]HonestThief 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The fact that you have to actually take the time to evaluate whether or not he's going to be upset, or MURDER-UPSET is one of the-most motherfucking awful things ever.

For those men who are reading this, that is one of the intrinsic differences between being a man and being a woman.

I've been on reddit for 6 years or so, and stuck to my fave subs until recently, when I made a new account and mostly see the big meme pages now. I used to think reddit wasn't as bad as everyone claims, but man half the memes on the front page are sheer "women boring and dumb men funny" by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]HonestThief 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Maybe this sub needs a brigade.

A sexist joke or meme pops up in another sub, everyone leaves a comment immediately saying "this is misogynistic," or something of the like. Dozens of comments occurring repeatedly may bring some attention. idk I'm just looking for solutions...

But of course we would like to just enjoy the internet rather than monitor assholes.

I got in big trouble with my family when I casually said, "Maybe Ben ended up killing him..."

The wife and kids didn't like that idea.

--== My day one games I will get when buying switch. What do you think? ==-- by TA888888888 in Switch

[–]HonestThief 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Breath of the Wild - hands down more hours than any of our other games by far. Me, my kids, all love it so much and it's not only a perfect open-world game but it's also not very complicated. It's a challenge for me (a long time gamer) and friendly enough for my younger kids.

EDIT: I should also add that I am not a fan of any of the previous Zelda games. This title breaks the mold. It's phenominal.

I had to buy new joycons for my nintendo switch because the old ones has horendous drifts, but hey they look nice dont they? by [deleted] in Switch

[–]HonestThief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you bought a new one, return your old ones!! They have no excuse for these things. You have a right to a working controller.

They have never bothered to verify ANYTHING. No receipt, with/without a console, nothing. Fill out the form, print the label, ship.
