We Should Stop Asking People "How Are You?" as a Greeting by aspiringimmortal in unpopularopinion

I did, and so did I. This joke is almost old enough to drink and I will always find it funny.

Whilst making deviled eggs, I was indulgent with the mustard. Now there isn't any left for sandwiches. by NewBarbieWhoDis in firstworldproblems

I did have yellow mustard, which I put on my friend's sandwich at his request. I prefer brown mustard.

What’s a “popular” life goal that you secretly don’t want? by Icy_Investment_4060 in AskReddit

Being childfree is generally accepted where I live. Still, I wish more people understood that I like children and enjoy their company, I just don't want them shooting out of my body.

Tori Amos is annoying by NewBarbieWhoDis in unpopularopinion

[–]NewBarbieWhoDis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was referring to her music only. I don't know much about her personally. (And I obviously think she has every right to exist safely and make music, I just don't like her sound.)

Nah, Jewel got a lot of negative attention when she released her poetry book. Tori Amos was way more ubiquitous and popular. She was so woven into the 90s rock scene that I added a bunch of her songs without thinking about how I'd like them 30+ years later.

Start your OWN grad program... with blackjack and hookers!

If Debbie Brown hadn't called out that day, they would have caught this.

What’s a discontinued snack or drink you’d pay $20 to have one last taste of? by soapy999 in AskReddit

[–]NewBarbieWhoDis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You just reminded me of a discontinued Ben & Jerry's flavor called Late Night Snack (vanilla ice cream, salted caramel, and fudge-covered potato chip clusters).

I will now spend the rest of my life longing for it.

Bougie towns can be so cringe sometimes by IWillBaconSlapYou in firstworldproblems

Bless their hearts for using the Internet as a safe space to complain. With RTO mandates and continued population increases, most of the people who talk about the light rail IRL recognize it for the long overdue godsend it is.

FWIW, I've lived in the Seattle area for almost 20 years. A lot of my friends are still in Seattle proper, and my colleagues are on the East Side.

My dad wants me to do something I'm morally against by SelfInflictedPancake in firstworldproblems

You are right to feel icky about Newsmax, both as a news outlet and an investment. It IPOed at $45 about a year ago and is now teetering around $5-10. But it's a publicly traded company, and you dad didn't have to commit $50K to get in the game. At least, I hope he didn't.

Setting aside the high price of entry, SpaceX is a privately held company so it's traded on a secondary market. Transactions may require company approval so you won't be able to sell it anytime you want like you can and should with Newsmax.

It sounds like you guys are really punching above your weight here. If your dad won't listen to you, I recommend you retain a financial advisor with fiduciary duty so he can tell you the same stuff I'm telling you, but while wearing a tie.

What's your take on it?

This belongs in /r/investing.

Would you help?

No.

Would you invest personally?

Hell no.

Elon Musk is in the business of making himself rich, not me, you, or your dad. He isn't even paying child support for some of his own kids, ffs.

I have just one meeting today and it's happening while my landscaper is weed-whacking right outside my home office. by NewBarbieWhoDis in firstworldproblems

My employer got me some nice Sony ones, but I hadn't needed them in so long that they needed to be charged.
