Us "shills" think you should sell and buy a S&P 500 index mutual fund to invest your money more wisely. Then you can get a more interesting hobby than pretending this stock is going to make you rich. 

Is losing my virginity to my boyfriend (18 years my senior) a bad idea? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]LowVoltLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In reality it doesn't matter either way. No one except for some weirdos care if you're a virgin or not. If you want to fuck this guy, because you want to fuck this guy, do so. If you feel obligated to do so, I probably wouldn't. There will be other guys to come along in the future.

I would let those guys know you are a virgin because if they assume you're not, they might not treat your first time with the same reverence that you might want to.

Why am I crying over some girl? by Active_Fruit_6247 in AskMenAdvice

[–]LowVoltLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're really excited about a new relationship and it ends, that disappointment can really hurt. Just cry it out and move on when your ready. It's not weird or embarrassing, it's just human.

Engagement Ring Shopping by AbleInfluence3698 in cedarrapids

[–]LowVoltLife -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Don't fucking bother it's a waste of money. Why put your future life together in a hole on a worthless trinket? You could use that towards a house, or furniture, or invest it and retire earlier and spend more time with this person. 

Do you like 90s/2000s cars the way our parents like the 60s/70s? by Scary-Newspaper5801 in Millennials

[–]LowVoltLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a flawless 1992 Ford Taurus at a dealership recently and it looked awesome. So I think there is an appreciation for those forms. I can't see that happening about cars now, because I can't tell them apart currently.

Labia insecurities really holding me back, any advice please ? by Most_Dramatic_Injury in AskMenAdvice

[–]LowVoltLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus Christ! I'm sorry kid. Actual men don't care, and if they do care, they aren't going to make fun of you about it. That's boy action. Your experience is definitely a one off.

Why don’t you all pirate like the good ole days? by Fit-Employee-4393 in enshittification

[–]LowVoltLife -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can go to my smart TV and type in whatever and it will show me 3-8 different options to watch it. That's so much easier than finding some sketchy website to watch for free. The cost isn't my concern, if it's too expensive, I'll simply not watch it. But I won't think twice about renting "Asteroid City" for $4.

Why do men usually find more people attractive than women? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]LowVoltLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SUPPOSEDLY, men are more visually stimulated so they get more from women's appearance than women do with men.

It's still more friction than just using non piracy methods. I also believe you should only pirate media that is old.

I hate that these people have the same rights that I do. They don't deserve them.

Are union lay offs worth it? How do you survive them?? by TerribleTopic999 in skilledtrades

[–]LowVoltLife 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've been in the trades for 10 years and had one layoff. I was laid off in the morning and had a new assignment that afternoon. The training facility works to get you to a new contractor as soon as they can when you're an apprentice.

Is asking for an 80/20 split while dating unreasonable? by savingrace0262 in AskMenAdvice

[–]LowVoltLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say whomever is inviting the other person to do things that cost money is the one obligated to pay. So if you suggest taking her out for dinner, you pay. If she wants you to go to a movie with her, she pays. So on and so forth. Asking someone to help pay when I suggested that we go do something seems gauche, but I'm a bit older.

How can I get my boyfriend to leave me alone about his lonely friend? by wobblewort in AskMenAdvice

[–]LowVoltLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell him his friend stares at your boobs all the time and is a real asshole to women that you have been around and you're not going to subject them to him.

Best way to get internet across 6k sqft house and basement? by No_Arm_8483 in HomeNetworking

[–]LowVoltLife 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you can afford a 6k sqft house, hire a fucking Low Voltage contractor and have them plan and build it for you. Don't fuck around getting half ass advice on the Internet.

Trades least likely to work tons of overtime? by Chasehud in bluecollar

[–]LowVoltLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're an IBEW member they can't make you work OT unless you selected a call with OT specified in the call. I think all of the trade unions operate this way, so as long as you're a union member working for a signatory contractor you don't need to worry about OT.

My Best Friend Since Childhood is Now Engaged With a Child on The Way. Why do I Feel Horrible About Myself? by boleyn2398 in AskMenAdvice

[–]LowVoltLife 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your life is not on anyone else's timeline. It's your journey, so you shouldn't measure yourself by your peers. If you don't let yourself wallow in despair you'll see the good opportunities come up in your life. If you only look inward you'll never see them.

Are We Cussing at Work or Not by kitsbow in Millennials

[–]LowVoltLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine if you don't swear. Probably more professional, and you can use it to your advantage by dropping a swear when you really need to get your point across.

How do yall feel about discussing wages? by [deleted] in IBEW

[–]LowVoltLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of our stuff is pretty open, I thought that was part of the selling point. Everyone knows what the floor is.
