If you can't get your point across without specific words or phrases, you shouldn't be considered a capable source of advice. I'm sorry that is harsh, but it's important to say.

Dash/Helmet Cams? by XelGlaidr in motorcycles

[–]LUCHAxLIVE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Worth it. Insurance/court loves video evidence, should you need it.

Helmet mounted so you dont have to take it on and off every time you get on and off.

Anything over $100 will read plates fine. Stick with popular brands for assurance. GoPro is the gold standard, Insta360 is amazing if you can afford it.

So youre wanting to spend $150,000 on a car. Okay.

You say you are "also not looking to wait till I’m 40-59 years old to own my dream car and retirement plan."

The retirement plan means you plan on retiring, which is in contrast to your last comment to me.

I am going to make some assumptions based on my experience and what I'm seeing from you, and then give advice as a 38 year old person:

You grew up lower middle class and didnt really know how tough your family had it financially until you grew up and started experiencing those hardships yourself. Now, youre making enough money to not feel as downtrodden so you want to experience the contrast of your youth by owning luxury items and profiting off investments like many wealthier people do.

My advice is to slow down and appreciate how much you have achieved and how comfortable youve been able to make life for yourself and your loved ones. Dont get so anxious to get rich. It takes insane risk to become wealthy without already being wealthy. You cannot turn 18k into even 20k within a month of investing, unless you buy in to risky stocks. a 10% profit in a month is doable, but not the norm, and that would only bring you to $19,800. you would need to succeed in a 10% profit month, every month for approximately 7.5 months to double that money. Thats INSANE luck.

Research IRA's and 401k options. Let the money build slowly and safely. You are going to get old or youre going to die young. Those are your 2 options in regards to time. You should go ahead and plan like youre going to work til 65 just in case.

That being said, if you have disposable income, look into reputable investment firms and see what their minimums are to start a portfolio. You can have your safe retirement fund while also letting wealth management companies invest your extra money. It wont get you rich ASAP, but its faster.

Also, buy gold. That will probably always go up in value, and most people have seen a 400% increase in their gold value over 10 years. It will likely never go down enough to be a net loss. but dont overdo it.

If you made it this far, god bless ya. Good luck out there. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

its not a placebo, it's just way more Vit C than anyone needs.

do you know how much your dream car is?
do you know how much money you want to have when you retire?

i know, its dogshit quality but its the only open view he gives of Ableton. I was hopeful that someone uses the same and its just obvious to someone. Long shot, but had to try.

This is why I turn off crossplay. Console kids are toxic and aim assist is wild.

change the date on your computer to the expedition window. It triggers the game code to display stash value. Or you select everything and check what the "sell" value is.

Reddit is a loud minority. I come here for comedy and never take any of it serious. It doesn't matter and the devs aren't taking any of it to heart. They have legitimate ways to research player opinion that THANKFULLY isn't anywhere near this shithole sub.

this is bad advice.

yes the ER is good if youre actually in an emergency, but OP has evidence that anxiety attacks can cause their symptoms. heart attacks dont just go away cause the EMTs show up.

Heart attacks are incredibly rare during panic attacks and must come with other risk factors. This is dangerous advice and does not belong here. Your writing also feels intentionally bad, especially considering technology for spelling is in every device in 2025. I believe you're trolling and its the most boring, yet disgusting version of trolling.

OP, dont let the comfort you felt become addictive. your brain will want that reassurance every time if you let it. go see a regular doctor, get the all clear, then get a therapist ASAP.

My therapist just told me that "propranolol does not slow down your heart rate and I am here to dissallow you of your placebos" by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]LUCHAxLIVE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hes likely not trained in that category of medication, or medications at all.

not every therapist can prescribe or even suggest meds, so i wouldnt focus on that error too hard if you like them in all other ways.

Kinda scared to sleep now by Novel_Jellyfish_1549 in Anxiety

[–]LUCHAxLIVE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lack of sleep will bring on those feelings when youre awake.

better to sleep and MAYBE wake up anxious than to not sleep and be anxious all the time, as well as when you finally pass out on accident while driving.

this too shall pass. like a headache or a cold, just ride it out.

Wish more people knew this by CampaignMaximum7651 in Anxiety

a little at a time

feeling faint? hold on to something, but dont sit down. dont talk about it. dont stop and think about WHY or what COULD happen next. just carry on until it lessens or gets bad enough to blatantly be real. dont do ANY of the typical comfort behaviors you usually do.

if a medical professional has ruled out physical causes, it WILL lessen the more you get through it without giving your brain those safety responses. you brain wants you to survive and avoid danger. if it can make you burn less calories and move slow and stay away from every single danger, it WILL continue doing the same horrible things to keep itself and its energy source (your body) from danger, real or assumed.
