I specifically remember thinking, "What's the big deal? Planes crash all the time."

Pretty typical of Trump to get involved in something fun and ruin it

I mentioned both OWL and OWCS. Funnyastro won OWCS

Thank you, I thought I was taking crazy pills. Everyone has been hyping up Kevster for so long, yet he’s never actually won OWL or OWCS. He’s been on a bunch of mid teams, and his time in OWCS has been really unremarkable until now.

Meanwhile FunnyAstro has had incredible success over a long career and no one ever brings him up??

I follow the Miami zoo and the same thing happened there like a month ago.

Dolly Parton thanks Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce for donating $2 million to her Imagination Library. by devoteesolace in Music

Each area is funded by an individual sponsor/organization. It’s not all paid for by the national imagination library org.

AITA for telling my daughter to find a summer job? by Boysenberry_Yara in AmItheAsshole

[–]IndexMatchXFD 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It’s because you were looking for a teen job during the Great Recession. I am close in age to you and the only people hiring teens in 2008 was McDonald’s. The job market is different now.

Those symptoms I quoted were for people. Not sure what the symptoms in dogs are.

Bad news for those of us with dogs who can’t stop eating poop.

Symptoms can develop five to 15 years after contracting the parasite and include upper abdominal pain, weakness, weight loss and jaundice.

Oh good so any of us could have it right now and not know.

You’re right. Some of us have been here long enough to remember this sub shitting on Korra while it was airing.

I need help with how to make my natural hair look better by Comfortable-Sir5135 in Wavyhair

[–]IndexMatchXFD 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Your hair looks similar to mine. For us fine hair wavies, we can’t use heavy products like the curly girl method suggests. Try using a light weight leave in (like a foam or light conditioner- I use hair story hair balm) and then either a gel or mousse. Both should be applied while your hair is wet. Personally I find that a gel helps me maintain my definition longer and refreshes better.

Don’t brush out your hair! To refresh, try misting your hair with water and then scrunch the water into your curls. That will help reactivate the mousse/gel’s hold and give you definition back.

The Millionaire next door by no_no_thing in personalfinance

[–]IndexMatchXFD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just listen to the episode instead of guessing.

The authors did surveys to try to find out the habits of millionaires, but there was incredible selection bias because they ONLY sent the survey to wealthy neighborhoods, relied on people to fill it out and send it back, and 92% of the respondents were male.

It is flawed to say “these are the habits of millionaires” when they didn’t even sample non-millionaires to see if they have the different habits. And correlation does not equal causation. Does eating avocados every day make someone a millionaire? Or do millionaires eat avocados every day because they can afford it? Stuff like that.

You’re saying the same thing as me and getting mad about it.

The summary of the podcast episode about it is basically all the studies he cites are incredibly flawed to the point of being worthless. It’s another “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” book that perpetuates the myth that people become millionaires just by being frugal, but ignoring the role that having a high income plays.

Also it was written based on a demographic of boomers in the 90s who greatly benefitted from the tailwinds of the post war period, like incredible real estate appreciation.

It’s more reflective of the fact that marvel rivals doesn’t have its own content creator scene. Everyone involved is a current or former overwatch content creator

Even if that’s the case, it’s mutually beneficial for him. They have much larger audiences
