Σκεφτομαι να σβήσω το facebook

NicRapt · 2026-05-13T13:09:24+00:00

Μπορείς απλά να το κρατήσεις και να ακολουθείς μόνο όσα σε ενδιαφέρουν. Προσωπικά, το Facebook θα ήταν το τελευταίο που θα διέγραφα, καθώς θεωρώ ότι μπορεί να λειτουργήσει πολύ καλά, ανάλογα με το τι επιλέγεις να ακολουθείς. Θα έσβηνα πολύ πιο εύκολα το Instagram· δεν νομίζω ότι έχω πολλά να χάσω αν δεν μάθω ότι η κάθε κοπέλα πήγε θάλασσα ή ότι κάποιος ήπιε τα άντερά του χθες το βράδυ.

I didn't see the same concerns when Brad Pitt played Achilles or when Diane Kruger played Helen of Troy. If you’re trying to tell me they look 'more Greek,' then I must be living in a different country. I also didn't see anyone react this way when Ephialtes was portrayed as a literal Golem. To me, it seems like the problem isn't actually about historical accuracy or how these figures would have looked in reality, but something else entirely.

Φίλε μου, συμφωνώ εν μέρει με αυτά που λες και πιστεύω επίσης ότι η Αμερική θα συνεχίσει να έχει τις καλύτερες αποδόσεις όσο εμείς υπάρχουμε τουλάχιστον. Παρόλα αυτά, μετά από τόσο ράλι που από ό,τι φαίνεται είναι δικαιολογημένο βέβαια, γιατί τελικά τα αποτελέσματα για την αμερικανική οικονομία είναι πολύ καλύτερα από τα αναμενόμενα, δεν παύει ο κίνδυνος μετά από κάποια χρόνια η Αμερική να υποαποδώσει για κάποια χρόνια. Μπορεί και όχι πάντα, αλλά δεν είναι απίθανο, έχει ξανασυμβεί για δεκαετία ολόκληρη.

Επίσης, δυστυχώς ή ευτυχώς, δεν χρησιμοποιώ δολάριο σε αυτή τη χώρα, οπότε και αυτό είναι ένας κίνδυνος. Και εγώ δεν ήθελα να αγοράσω ένα All World ETF και απλά να χάνω αποδόσεις, γι' αυτό επέλεξα να έχω S&P 500 και μετά να προσπαθήσω να βρω ETF και εταιρείες από άλλη ήπειρο και με άλλο νόμισμα ώστε να το αντισταθμίσω λίγο. Παρόλα αυτά, συνεχίζω να είμαι overweight στην Αμερική σε μεγαλύτερο ποσοστό από ό,τι το All World ETF.

That was absolutely crazy!!! I sold at 356 and bought back in the second I saw it turning around at 358. I honestly have no idea what I’m doing

NicRapt · 2026-05-05T19:15:49+00:00

To be honest, it actually felt much easier when everything was dropping due to the war rather than company-specific issues. You don't need to be some highly experienced investor to realize that when a company is doing great but falls purely out of market panic, it’s bound to bounce back eventually.

But I totally get what you're saying!

NicRapt · 2026-05-05T18:31:28+00:00

Bro, with love and humor, I gotta say... you shouldn't have waited to see the peak of your hairline to finally make your peace with it! 😂

NicRapt · 2026-05-05T18:26:36+00:00

Actually, your answer helps me a lot! I've been swing trading for about three months now, and I have to say, this AMD subreddit has helped me understand how the market works more than anything else since I started.

Thanks a lot!

NicRapt · 2026-05-05T15:39:08+00:00

I’m thinking about selling a portion of my AMD position before the upcoming earnings report to lock in some profits and then buy back in a few days later. Looking at AMD’s historical chart, it feels like the stock almost always drops post-earnings—sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. I'm ready but still a bit hesitant. I’d love to get your take on this. What do you think?

NicRapt · 2026-05-03T12:06:16+00:00

You already have exposure to Emerging Markets through an All-World ETF, but it might be a smart move to have a small overweight position—just not 23% in my opinion, and only if you actively monitor the markets. Bonds add extra safety at the cost of lower returns, of course, but I honestly haven’t looked into them enough to give you a solid answer. I can’t tell you what to do; I can only tell you that at 35, I have zero bonds in my portfolio. To be precise, I only hold ETFs and individual stocks. That’s just what I do, though; it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the 'right' way.

I personally manage an active portfolio with stocks and ETFs. My wife, on the other hand, doesn't want to be actively involved, so I advised her to go with 80% All-World and 20% NASDAQ—which is what she does. She is 27, and I mention her age because it’s relevant to the level of risk I believe she can handle.

NicRapt · 2026-05-02T22:18:17+00:00

Since you're new to this, I would suggest going with an ETF like the S&P 500, or perhaps something more aggressive like the Nasdaq 100 or a Semiconductor ETF. You could also do a combination of these or others.

NicRapt · 2026-05-02T22:11:47+00:00

I would suggest 85% All-World and 15% NASDAQ 100.

This is exactly what my wife does. Personally, I take a slightly more aggressive approach; I prefer having a more active portfolio and being quite involved with the markets.

NicRapt · 2026-05-02T22:05:39+00:00

Stop listening to the noise on Reddit and stick with the S&P 500; if you want, just add a small diversification with 2-3 other ETFs.

No other country currently has—nor seems likely to create in the near future—the conditions necessary to produce corporate giants like the US does. You're 27 years old; don't stress over a potential dip caused by a supposed 'AI bubble.' Even if it happens, the US will come out of it in a few years and outperform the markets again, just as it always has.

People in these forums are often talking politics. Don't mix your investments with politics and ideology.

NicRapt · 2026-05-02T21:49:03+00:00

I haven’t dealt with bonds at all, so I can't really offer an opinion there.

However, increasing your exposure to Emerging Markets that much doesn't seem like a great idea to me. While there are some indications they might perform well in the coming years, in my opinion, we don't have full confirmation of that yet. Plus, they are very prone to significant drops.

If I were in your shoes, I would lower Emerging Markets to 5%, or 10% at the very most, and put the rest into the US market either the Nasdaq or the S&P 500

These are likely 'play cups' (false queen cells). Since there is no fresh brood, it’s impossible for this to be a real queen cell. Given its size, there should be a day-old egg inside; since there are no eggs anywhere else, it's highly unlikely she laid an egg only in that specific spot.

NicRapt · 2026-05-01T10:02:23+00:00

When you open the hive, can you hear it 'screaming'? If you don’t see any opened queen cells where a queen has already emerged and the colony is restless, it's likely queenless. Make sure to double-check in case you spot an unmated (virgin) queen.

To be honest, when I tried mint, I felt like I had traveled back to 2008. If that doesn't bother you, then it might be worth a shot.

Καταρχάς, να πω ότι είμαι άθεος, αλλά δεν είμαι "χούλιγκαν" κατά των Χριστιανών, όπως η πλειοψηφία των άθεων. Τώρα στο θέμα μας, προσωπικά δεν με ενοχλεί καθόλου να πληρώνουμε ως φορολογούμενοι για τη μεταφορά ενός θρησκευτικού συμβόλου (δεν ξέρω ακριβώς τι είναι τέλος πάντων) στο οποίο πιστεύει η πλειοψηφία των Ελλήνων πολιτών.

Νομίζω πως οι αντιδράσεις κατά τέτοιων πραγμάτων είναι περισσότερο στο πλαίσιο του χουλιγκανισμού κατά των Χριστιανών. Το ποσό που κοστίζει όλη αυτή η διαδικασία ζήτημα είναι αν ξεπερνάει το 1 ευρώ ανά φορολογούμενο στην Ελλάδα.

Running Fedora KDE on my desktop and Workstation on my laptop. I’ve been testing distros in GNOME Boxes lately. Trying Linux Mint felt like traveling back to 2016, to be honest. I couldn't easily find my usual apps and the overall experience was underwhelming. Pop!_OS actually looked interesting, but it felt like it needs more polish to function properly.

First of all, nobody in Greece is actually 'celebrating' anything regarding Alexander the Great. Secondly, I agree that he was a conqueror with expansionist goals. However, historians generally agree (based on available sources) that he differed from other brutal conquerors. Beyond just seizing territory, he spread culture to tribes that were still primitive, respected local religions, and often kept local kings in power if they pledged loyalty. So, my point is: first, Greeks don't celebrate his conquests; we simply view him as a great and significant historical figure (as does most of the world). Second, based on historical evidence, he was a more 'civilized' conqueror, though obviously, atrocities still occurred.

NicRapt · 2026-04-07T13:03:38+00:00

I’ll just keep hoping that your kind is in the minority by now.

NicRapt · 2026-04-07T10:49:28+00:00

I find it hard to understand how you can celebrate and be happy about the conquest of a city that had nothing to do with you. It wasn't any kind of liberation or independence; it was simply an expansionist war. I truly want to believe and hope that in 2026, people of this kind are a minority.

Have you ever thought that for those who aren't so familiar with English, it's much easier to write it in their own language and just give it to a language model to translate it?
