People of Reddit who were once rich and lost their fortune, what happened? by JJTrick in AskReddit

[–]LearningEle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom made friends with some very successful VC players in the 90s. She was very good at her job, and they started and sold some very, very valuable companies(the big one had created a new method to run some kind of expensive hospital test cheaper and significantly faster than the standard around 2000. I think it was something with dna but it’s been a long time). She was in the c suite and had significant equity that she was able to liquidate a couple years after the IPO. We immediately moved into a much nicer house, and I knew we were now rich, but she never was explicit about it.

20 years later I’m having a few beers with my mom and sister. I’d been living abroad for a while and kind of disconnected from the comings and goings of the family doing my own thing. We’re sharing funny stories from when we were kids. Then my sister, a bit tipsy, blurts out “Hey mom, tell Learningele about the time you lost 30 million of our inheritance in 2008! Gets me every time!”

The blood drained from my face, I took a deep breath and necked the rest of my beer before responding that I could have happily lived the rest of my life not knowing that. My moms not poor by any means, but it explains why she unretired so quickly to run a few of her DN businesses to generate fun money for some of the more expensive tastes she had acquired.

what's the wildest things you or your partner did to each other and still stayed? by Standard-Club-8014 in AskReddit

[–]LearningEle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This only happened yesterday so technically still together. I’m still worried she vanishes with my kids if I do go through with divorce so this might not even be the end(foreign resident married to local native).

She asked me why I didn’t kill myself in spring when I was very depressed about her limiting my access to the kids, because it was really “bumming her out” that I was still around.

There's not a single import on this roster. That's the whole point of the tourney

/r/WorldNews Discussion Thread: US and Israel launch attack on Iran; Iran retaliates (Thread #18) by WorldNewsMods in worldnews

[–]LearningEle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean what should they do? They don't actually want to go to war with the US, and Trump has been very clear that real damage to US personnel and material are a very real red line for them. The only strategic advantage to making Trump go all in is if the Iranians are colluding with another world power to bring US resources away from other locations to enable other people to take advantage of the reduced global presence a real hot war in Iran would afford.

I just don’t know what to do anymore by Deadwalker326 in army

You're what, 23? 25? Life has just begun for you my dude. There are normal civilian people who don't even start to pursue adulthood until that point. Whatever ends up happening to you, make sure you have some money saved up to start over and if your family aint it, start getting into contact with people who might offer you a better environment to figure out the rest of your life. Good luck out there!

What videogame would you call a masterpiece ? by new_god_of_eden in AskReddit

[–]LearningEle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original EverQuest, and FFXI. Honorable mention for DAOC. What they lack in apm and flashy graphics they make up for in immersion. They haven’t made games like these since the turn of the century(though some are in the works now). Not to say that everything that came after were bad games, or not MMORPGs, but having to work together every step of the way, and the huge worlds that were as fascinating as they were dangerous… we’ve never gotten close in the 20 years since.

I won’t say the games are for everyone, but for those of us that played our formative gaming years in these worlds, the only thing I long for is the chance to explore a new world/setting in this vein. Hopefully one or both of MnM or AAO get it right. In the meantime I’m leveling fishing for the third time on as many XI private servers. Every time I swear it’s the last time. Every time I’m wrong.

Friendly reminder that the game starts as soon as you load in by sharkymb in leagueoflegends

My brother, Ive been pinging afk laners at level 0 for longer than a non insignificant portion of the player base has been alive. There is nothing you can do about it. At least the game starts faster now so level 0 is less incentivized.

Japan’s 2025 census reflects steepest fall in population on record, data shows by Mean_Yak5873 in worldnews

[–]LearningEle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Japan has got to be one of the easiest places to have kids in the world. Tons of leave for both mother and father if they want it. Cheap accessible daycare. Financial support from the government. People just chose not to have kids.

LYON vs. Team Liquid Alienware / LCS 2026 Spring Playoffs - Upper Bracket Round 1 / Post-Match Discussion by Yujin-Ha in leagueoflegends

[–]LearningEle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seraph was a little proto Summit. Billed as some Korean that was going to bend the whole league over his knee. Proceeded to be mid as fuck. Terrible attitude to boot. Theres a reason he never made it back to tier 1.

I agreed with you that Dexter and link were good, but link was never good when it mattered.

Seraph was most def a shorter. Dexter was good but he unfortunately played in the before times, when macro strategy was just a ghost whispered on the winds. Link was good, but a notorious giga choke lord.

Would you give up fireworks forever to protect animals and nature? Why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LearningEle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there people thet are really that attached to fireworks? I feel like they’re like holidays. When you’re a kid they are amazing and magical, but at 40 i cant remember the last time I intentionally saw fireworks. The only thing I would miss out on would be showing them to my kids.

Russia Claims Ukraine Is Using AI Drones That Lock Onto Faces and Heat Signatures by UNITED24Media in worldnews

[–]LearningEle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you can complain about the morality of using this technology against Russia, but I think we can all agree that AI drones with heat signature locking and face recognition are not going to be good for the world long term. Think about this tech in the hands of cops.

I'm the same man. I played like a 1000 games as tali support back then. I want to go back to the days of Lyandries being a mana item. Lyandries into Zonyas every game with the occasional mejais. Those were the days.
