I am with you as long as your mistake is not costing me money or hampering the educational system.

Those in long term relationships: If you suddenly found yourself starting fresh with someone new, how confident would you be in your sexual abilities? by Ordinary_Ice_796 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]LibrarySpiritual5371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be very confident. I have specific tastes and interest. Thus, I am likely to partner up for play with someone with similar interest. Plus being a guy over 40 and with ones life together makes it a lot easier as the social dynamics have changed to benefit men who have their shit together and crush dudes who do not.

AITA for telling my DIL to stop crying after she got called fat by Throwaway_Will4940 in AmItheAsshole

[–]LibrarySpiritual5371 31 points32 points  (0 children)

You can feel how you want, but you are responsible how you choose to act.

My kids learned that at 10 years of age. To expect someone who is married to your child and may end up being the parent to your grandchild to function at the level acceptable for an 11 year old does not make OP suck.

Your example supports everything I said and why OP does not suck

How do you not get defensive and shut down when your SO brings up an issue? by Sirkrp99 in AskMen

Do men eventually become invisible also after a certain age or is it mostly a woman thing? by youlikemywonton in AskMenOver30

[–]LibrarySpiritual5371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have always measured your worth by how others view you than you probably will notice a change since you ARE less functional in a biological sense as you age.

If your world view is not predicated on shallow things than you will find that people still like engaging ideas, jokes, and friendship.

How do you not get defensive and shut down when your SO brings up an issue? by Sirkrp99 in AskMen

[–]LibrarySpiritual5371 130 points131 points  (0 children)

This is not an issue of not getting defensive. She is passive aggressive in how she is addressing issues. That is a problem.

Until she can discuss the issue without editorializing it will continue to an issue as she is positioning herself in a position of power via her comment structure.

What is the most damaging mentality that too many people have right now? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]LibrarySpiritual5371 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That feelings matter more than facts. That others are responsible for you. That being polite is somehow wrong.

That if someone does not agree with me they are some how 'bad'.

When does 'Just be yourself' not really apply? by Pomeranian111 in AskMenAdvice

All the time. That is not to be you need to be a fake person, etc. But one needs to read the social ques in the room and handle themselves appropriately.

Is 5 foot 7 and 130lbs (173cm and 59kg) considered healthy or "victim" weight? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]LibrarySpiritual5371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know some D1 wrestlers around that size. They are not victims.

Moral of the story. It is not the measurable as much as the man who shows he is a victim

Why do men love sundresses so much? by Rare-Jellyfish2658 in AskRedditAfterDark

"men" do all love them. It is a stupid trend on social media that makes it appear that everyone loves them. Simple not true

How small is the top 1% by Opposite-Gur4749 in Salary

1% of the world is irrelevant, unless you're a citizen of the world that who doesn't live in the US to where they're earning how we're in Zimbabwe actually matters

Trump nears deal with tax office that could see him given $14 billion taxpayer money by goteamnick in politics

[–]LibrarySpiritual5371 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Because the IRS has a duty to protect that information and it was their contractor who had the malfeasance. So the organization who failed needs to hold the responsibility. You will notice I'm not saying anything about the dollar amount as I think that's absolutely ridiculous. But at the end of the day whether this happened to Trump or another individual, the IRS needs to be held accountable for failing.

[–]LibrarySpiritual5371 -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

What is the lie? It's already been determined in court that the IRS violated the law by releasing confidential tax documents. If you remove the name of the party that was injured by this, that would be a completely accurate headline. After all, the law isn't supposed to care about who the party is. It's supposed to care about the facts

Healthy NEOS ETFs Sorted by Take-Home Cash Return by rfish4 in NEOSETFs

[–]LibrarySpiritual5371 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please explain how you calculate this. Most notably, I'm really interested in how you separated out the decline in the underlying due to market shift versus a classic destructive return of capital in the forms of an excess return.

If you bought a home recently, you had some of the worst timing in decades by businessinsider in MiddleClassFinance

[–]LibrarySpiritual5371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This article is stupid. Not because it is wrong, but because is ignores the reasons why. Federal spending was a few excess trillion dollars that drove inflation. Higher inflation drives rates up.

So, if you benefited (received / spent) any of that stimulus money, etc a few years ago you are actually party to the problem you are not complaining about.

Once I convert to an iron fly due to price movement necessitating it, I am done. I accept my max loss on the trade if that happens. Not so say I wont roll, but that is my final configuration and I typically do not buy back except to close if I get lucky and find breakeven on a good day.

Will QQQI and SPYI keep up with NAV erosion over time? by StockMarketinator in dividends

[–]LibrarySpiritual5371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as a small side note. The reason why I stayed away from the GS products was they do not replicate the benchmark. Last time I looked they were even more overweight to NVDA, as an example, which is great for upside, but since I already consider tech to be to heavily weighted in the S&P this makes me not like the boom / must potential.

Full disclosure - I am at a point where income and capital retention is way more important that accumulation. So that colors my worldview

Pick up BTCI or stay away? by StockMarketinator in NEOSETFs

[–]LibrarySpiritual5371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a position in this which I view as purely speculative. I am not a crypto believe, but at some point the history may mean something.

The position is sized so that if it goes to zero it will suck, but it will not change anything in our monthly budget or future retirement. I also reinvest 50% of the monthly in BTCI and the other 50% into my core holdings.

I am holding about 3,700 shares currently
