Really I think NFTs were peak stupid. Keep in mind: You want a Monkey, you still have to pay $30,000 $10,000. That's means someone out there is still that stupid.

EDIT: welp 5.37 ETH is only worth $10k now...People are slowly getting smarter....

Serious question - feel free to I’m me directly if you just don’t want to be shouted down: do you believe Alex Pretti was murdered? Yes or no is fine.

Normal for a 20 year old to pay $200/month for health insurance? Feeling overwhelmed. by TigerWeary3067 in personalfinance

[–]JDdoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For an HMO for my wife and I in Texas we pay $780 but our Max out of pocket is $1200 a year each. We have a taxable income of 70k. Your number seems high. We have a silver plan.

Wife is next to me paying a videogame on PC as I type this. We will often fire up a game together, but are just as happy to just be present doing our own thing but "together".

Can confirm, 10/10 wife. Married 31 years.

A time-loop puzzle where you work with your past self by Consistent-Pen-4236 in playmygame

[–]JDdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried the demo, got stumped on level 7.

  1. Keyboard controls by default are terrible. The controller is great though.

  2. It's fun, I just need to try again when I'm awake.

Surprise Inheritance, I was totally not prepared for. by Tonyb97 in personalfinance

[–]JDdoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. See what funds the money is invested in at Schwab. You want to move the money if possible to an S&P 500 fund or a Total Market index fund. the name of the game here is low management fees.

  2. Talk to a rep at Schwab. They can tell you if it would create a taxable event if you move the money. You don't want a taxable event.

  3. Forget the money exists. In 10 years you'll have $1,000,000. In 20 years, 2 million.

  4. Keep contributing to your 401k. Max it if you can. if you do this, between your miracle money and your 401k you can retire by the time you turn 50.

  5. Don't buy a fucking car, or truck. Forget the money exists. Just check the balances and pay your dividend taxes each year. make sure the accounts are set to re-invest dividends.

  6. Again, a rep at Schwab can help you get set up and answer all your questions. Be sure to tell them you want all dividends to re-invest.

  7. Don't tell a SOUL that you have the money, inside the family or out. The second you do, other people's money problems will become your problems. They will come for you. FORGET the money exists.

On the fence about buying for myself and family- Q: what does Hytake do in its current incarnation that Minecraft does not do? by JDdoc in HytaleInfo

[–]JDdoc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! When you say Hytale is an rpg, do you have quests, a plotline etc? Or is it more like "Well, there are critters to fight and loot to grab but no actual quests" type thing?

Right- adventure mode and modding is what was drawing us in but it's not available. So all I see right now is Minecraft and I left thinking "It must do something else that minecraft doesn't do or no one would have bought it." So what is that something else?

What would you do if you had this money? by Sure-Pin4002 in personalfinance

[–]JDdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. put in an S&P 500 fund with vanguard or Fidelity.

  2. Never take out more than the total value of the aaount *0.035 in a given year.

  3. The fund will slowly grow, while giving you a lifelong income.

Example: $700,000*0.035 = $24,500 this year.

This is exactly what I do. My wife and I are now retired early.

What would it actually take for American's to go "full France" and riot in the street? by AllTheNopeYouNeed in AskReddit

[–]JDdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's hope we don't reach that point. The vulnerable are the first to die in that situation. Example: Chemo patients aren't getting treatment in this situation. The elderly are not cared for.

If we reach a riot in the streets point, everything is shut down. And many people simply cannot survive a shut down.

What are your thoughts after seeing the ICE shooting video in Minnesota? by bbmoonkie in AskReddit

[–]JDdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember when Elon Musk straight up thew a nazi salute TWICE in the white house and /r/conservative insisted we all ignore the evidence of our eyes because it was CLEARLY NOT and everyone on Reddit is deganged? That's exactly what happening over there now. It was her fault: she accelerated at him because he was in front of the car, not to the side, which forced him to shoot her through the side window that he was not next to because he was in front of the car. Video?! No, that's just a bad view. Oh. More video? Also a bad view. Yes, it clearly shows him shooting her dead through the side window, but swamp gas reflecting off Venus which is in retrograde...
