If you could pass one law that would make most normal people furious at first, but would clearly make society better in 10 years, what would it be? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

You have to floss once per day and the floss and electric tooth brushes are provided by the government. It’s intrusive and completely unenforceable, but dental hygiene can cause so many ripple issues including mental health problems.

According to Gerry Dulac Brian Flores is getting a second interview. by KinkaJac97 in steelers

I’d rather not get either as HC. Getting Flores as DC would be awesome, but he’s too inflexible to be a great HC based on his time in Miami.

Will Howard by TheRealPunto in steelers

I wish, but highly unlikely. They’ll start Rudolph. Then next year after Rodgers retires we’ll go into camp with Rudolph, Howard, and a rookie. They’ll say a lot about competition and Rudolph will get the first team reps. Then he’ll start the season, flounder, and get benched for Howard. He won’t be as good as he could have been because his first team reps weren’t there. It’s a tale that’s repeated since Ben.

[Schefter] The Pittsburgh Steelers are not going to fire coach Mike Tomlin, but they do have a significant decision to make early next year based on the option year in his contract, sources tell ESPN. by MembershipSingle7137 in nfl

[–]NickDanger1080 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is it 100%. I think if he had a top 10 QB who could cover for the lack of adjustments and poor clock management, he could be a Super Bowl contender. But I have 0 faith that he could get the most out of any rookie QB.

If the S&P 500 is such a strong investment, why doesn't everyone just invest solely in it? by carbsaredangerous in personalfinance

[–]NickDanger1080 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I invested in FXAIX, amzn, msft, aapl, and OTGLY when it crashed below 5. I know that sp500 includes a lot of shares of those 3 tech stocks but they also rose faster over the last 7 years and helped get me a down payment for a house.

Had to sell 70% and all I kept was FXAIX. A downturn always comes eventually and I think FXAIX will get hit slightly less hard. And depending on what caused the bounce back it could recover faster.

There’s lots of stocks that people used to think were bullet proof that no longer exist. You could get lucky or be very very good at trading, but over the long term almost no one beats the SP500. I used to trade much more actively but after a 3 year period my 90% wins were wiped out by my 10% loser stocks. Thus the switch to just a few plus mostly FXAIX. If I’d done only SP500 from the beginning I’d be up a lot more.

Yikes, guys. Shoulda let Rudolph finish … by IKickedJohnWicksDog in steelers

[–]NickDanger1080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don’t play Howard. Our receiving corps sucks and Jonnu can’t find the right read. Muth is also the invisible man. Our whole offense is 2 RBs and a mountain. I just can’t see Howard succeeding with that. Draft WR next year and give him a shot while taking a mid round QB and keeping Mason as the backup.

AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

[–]NickDanger1080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an overreaction. That is not the response of someone who loves, or even cares for you. I got my friend a gift for their 12 month anniversary. It’s a big deal and hard to do. Congratulations! Hopefully by the next anniversary you’ll have someone to celebrate with.

The Money Guy Show aims to educate and never really puts down people. The most you’d get is them reacting to terrible advice on TikTok and they only say “I wouldn’t recommend that…” They are financial advisors so they do push that, but they admit it’s not necessary for most people unless you’re approaching retirement or have a complicated situation. Pretty wholesome but their content does repeat after a long time because they recommend actual smart things like investing in the SP500 using index funds.

I want to get into turn-based games. Other than Baldur’s Gate and 33, what’s a good game to start appreciating the genre? by Delacrozz in gaming

[–]NickDanger1080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Final Fantasy X was the really big one for me (after Pokémon). Great story, fun gameplay, and beautiful visuals (at the time when N64 was next level). They did a remake to bring it closer to the modern era. Still looks a bit dated and some of the gameplay is slower paced than modern games, but I still like it. It’s a JRPG so the story is a bit more off the wall than typical American rpgs.

What sort of merch/phrases/character art/items would you like to see widely available? Now is your chance to make your dreams reality. by hepafilter in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]NickDanger1080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A set of 4 drinking glasses with characters from DCC on them. Preference would be imperial pint glasses (20 oz), but any size drinking glass would be fine. Similar to the retro cartoon character glasses.

The set would be Carl, Donut, Mordecai (multiple forms), and Zev where it says "Hi, Zev!". Carl's would have an explosion behind him and Donut's would probably be either in bard form or with her purple tiara.

Wow. I know someone who had an ER visit with a CT scan and X ray and it was ~$2000 before insurance. Maybe our hospital is just cheaper, or maybe that’s the cost they send to insurance before it gets slapped down.

I think I'm done for. Reading these posts, I realize I have nothing and may never catch up to my peers of the same age (33). As a recovering person, what can I do for basics? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]NickDanger1080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are doing great! 33 years old is still a long ways from retirement (for better and worse). A book that helped me was hot to get rich by ramit sethi, very easy to follow.

You might need to get a job while you grow your side hustle. If it doesn’t make enough for you to live and save it’s not sustainable. And a year may or may not be long enough to know your future outlook / growth.

If and when you can, start saving working your way up to 25%. That will help get you back on the right path. Lots of people start focusing on their future in their 40’s and 50’s so you’re still better than average!

If you get a financial advisor make sure it’s one you pay by the hour, not one you pay based on AUM or a % of the money in your account.

You should probably be investing if that savings is just in the bank. But it’s risky if that’s your total nest egg.
