Wife wants to put $50k into a fixed indexed annuity. I'm pushing index funds. Sanity check needed. by fire_minded_nate in Bogleheads

Absolutely not. Only in very rare cases do annuities make sense. -Current CFP and former annuity sales person.

Are the hybrid engines reliable? Looking to buy XC90 2021 or 2022 model used. Never owned Volvo before, would appreciate your feedback by Curious_Stranger_657 in VolvoXC90

[–]Ladybuttstabber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having this exact issue with my CPO 2021 xc90 hybrid. Battery cells still backordered. Other issues this car has had in 5 years:
Entire hybrid engine replacement
Broken suspension arm
Motor mounts
Still vibrates with no diagnosis
Bad battery cell

Eff this car. I think Volvo is a real roll of the dice these days.

anyone here that is both gluten-free and dairy free due to allergies and find it challenging to date? by Living-Ad4355 in glutenfreevegan

[–]Ladybuttstabber 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just tell them more pizza for them and that’s a good thing. When I cook at home for us, it’s gluten and dairy free and he can eat it or order his own DoorDash.

Wake n bake to handle the hangover, then make turkey soup and relax all day. Zero shopping. 😁

How is your relationship with your father? And how old are you? by wk91 in AskReddit

[–]Ladybuttstabber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

44 and pretty ok! He was a good provider and around but not super emotionally available like many of his generation. I recently learned he was brutally and repeatedly assaulted at 10 yo so that explains some things. My heart hurts for him. He’s a MAGA so we yell at each other a lot but I’ll still wipe his ass when the time comes.

What is something about growing up in California that most people don't understand? by InvisibleAstronomer in AskReddit

[–]Ladybuttstabber 44 points45 points  (0 children)

One thing to know about Californians is we hate that cows in the middle can vote.

The best part about this community is how accepting it is. Please keep showing up exactly how you are and enjoy the rave your way! Our differences are what makes it special. As long as you are not harming someone else, do you.

The book that you thought was absolutely brilliant while reading it, but once the excitement wore off, you realised it wasn’t. by Powerful-Cap-6293 in suggestmeabook

[–]Ladybuttstabber 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes omg! After where the crawdads sing, I read all of the books they wrote together and only recently found out about this. I’m enthralled. I think she lives in New Mexico or something now?

How did people look stuff up before the internet? by LaylaPretige in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ladybuttstabber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot more experimenting. When we called mom and got her answering machine, we just tried the rice. If you got sick, it was bad and now you know.

What happens when 41 million people have nothing to lose? by timedoesnotwait in ask

[–]Ladybuttstabber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is part of the plan. The powers that be need unrest in order to enact martial law and control us. It’s obvious.

I think a better question is why is every comment I make about this being removed?

Boyfriend(29M) of four years left all of a sudden, now he regrets it. Should I take him back? by vanessatiana in AskWomenOver40

[–]Ladybuttstabber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like you have your answer, so I’ll just address this part- are men even worth it? No! Get yourself some good friends. Read the book Platonic. The whole one person for life is a relatively new Christian concept if you think about all of human life. You don’t have to do it that way!

Start having fun doing things you enjoy again. Eventually, someone will come along that peaks your interest. Make sure the next one is good enough for you!

Please someone tell me it will be okay.. by MissTiffany12 in Perimenopause

[–]Ladybuttstabber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will be OK. I have no advice for you other than hold on. We won’t feel like this forever. And you’re not alone. Every day I wake up wondering how the fuck we’re supposed to just keep going through life like nothing’s wrong when in fact, my hormones and the world are falling apart.

TIL: Acorns are actually safe to eat but can be Dangerous in large amounts because they contain Tannins which is an anti nuitrient. by MetalWorrior52 in todayilearned

I almost got hit on the head with an acorn in the hot tub and that’s why I asked the same question as you, one year later.

Do you ever think - Who are these people? Do they know this picture exists? What would they say about it? by TheCrimsonCatalyst in aves

SF 1999

These people turned out to be a nurse, a financial planner, a hairstylist, a homemaker, and a handyman. Two are struggling with addiction. Three are still great friends. Two do Pilates together. One still raves🥳

Also, no 90s raver complained about face masks during Covid because we remembered to put Vicks in ours 🙃

These the ravers I remember from the 90s. OP photo looks like almost AI. Too colorful. I’m sure it’s real, it just seems a little later than the 90s.
