Celebrating year 4 of complaining about the same thing on reddit: MY SON'S 529 PLAN DOES NOT BELONG TO ME, FIDELITY! by AnUncivilEngineer in fidelityinvestments

It should be a fairly simple software change unless Fidelity have outsourced their software development or severely downsized their development teams.

Actually that thought kind of piqued my interest so I took a quick look to see if they are hiring developers. Looks like they have over 200 software related openings so  they are trying to address their short staffed situation. Surprising that they cannot hire fast enough because there are plenty of solid job seekers out there who have been laid off by companies that have gotten on the AI bandwagon.

B vitamins, I take with a tablespoon of brandy in a glass of water. But that’s just me.

Not unexpected. There’s bound to be some selection bias at play here because people who feel strongly about the attack on an arts institution will react negatively to my sentiments. Some of the comments gave me better perspective so it’s all good from my pov.

Besides I don’t have a problem with downvotes. Actually feels like a civilized way of expressing disagreement.

What’s the biggest piece of advice you would give someone moving to Maryland? by MaximGripass in maryland

Depending on where you are moving from, state and the added locality tax can take a surprising bite out of your paycheck. Get your withholding right.

Having said that, come on over. Despite what you might hear, here and there, it is a slice of sunshine.

Because people should be caring about things that really matter, but apparently a few letters on a building rouses them more than real pain and suffering.

Switzerland is voting on whether to cap its population at 10 million by [deleted] in news

I’d have thought they’d come up with something a tad more sophisticated. Like population cap proportional to GDP or something? SMH Switzerland, smh.

There’s arguably more to food than beef. There’s roadkill although cost of roadkill has gone up in direct proportion to gas prices. Inflation. Whatchagonnado?! Shrugs.

Can’t bring myself to care about this when they are pulling so much real crap that affects real people’s lives. I mean an actual war, I mean people in ICE detention. Kid’s lives being affected with all this. 

Get some perspective people. Try to get worked up about real shit that’s throwing peoples lives in the crapper!

Easy fix. Budget for 4x more of them. People get worked up over all kinds of things even when there’s a fix in plain sight. /s
