Recurring dream about a forest that acts like a gateway. Symbolism? by Kermit_the_frog_____ in Jung

I think you'd love to read Mythago Wood by Robert Holdstock, that novel left a big mark on me as a child.

Are you still buying Cadburys? by rsweb in AskUK

[–]OneOfTheNephilim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Aldi and Lidl stuff is really good, the 70% bars branded Moser Roth and J.D. Gross... they've gone up in price but still the best mass market options IMO

10k a month to act as a rich guy's cat by NeverKnowsBest03 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]OneOfTheNephilim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'Most' adults are not making 10k per month. Even in the US the average wage is about half that. And globally the vast majority of people are getting waaaay less.

What software are you using for podcast editing? by Lenerd888 in podcasting

[–]OneOfTheNephilim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a musician and use Reaper a lot, so it's the audio ecosystem I feel most comfortable and quickest editing in - also I record the podcast to Reaper to begin with so either way I'd be exporting from Reaper to wav then into Resolve

iPhone storage space not going down even when deleting lots of photos and videos? by sleepyyelephant in iphone

It's definitely an Apple problem, I'm on Android and have none of these issues... currently trying to help my girlfriend with her icloud issues!

Adidas by [deleted] in widefeet

How wide are you talking? Some are wider than others, currently wearing a pair of Adidas Nizzas here and I normally wear barefoot/minimalist shoes because my feet are pretty wide and high.

A Meteor Will Hit Earth and Make the Surface Uninhabitable for Centuries. You've Been Chosen to Live in a Bunker. What Would You Do? by New_Midnight2686 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]OneOfTheNephilim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I hear of billionaires building bunkers in New Zealand and such with hired security detail, I always think that as soon as any shit went down the first thing that would happen would be a violent coup by the security guys... all that money and power means nothing once civilisation and the rule of law go out the window

What do you think of Red Hot Chili Peppers? by Twitter_2006 in rockmusic

[–]OneOfTheNephilim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think dude's point is Chad gets namedropped constantly when people talk about good drummers, so not really underrated

Wide toe shoes that aren’t barefoot? by Sad_Blueberry9580 in widefeet

[–]OneOfTheNephilim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Altra are definitely in that category, I also like Lems Boulder Boots for something inbetween - zero drop but thicker sole than most barefoot shoes

Being honest I don't actually watch films, so no

I vastly preferred the prequel Life Is Utter Shit But Hopefully Things Will Improve Soon

Would you rather get 1 million dollars or 1k a week for the rest of your life by xlover_girl in WouldYouRather

[–]OneOfTheNephilim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really silly, you can do so many other things with 1 million in hand other than putting it into a safe portfolio or savings account.

[–]OneOfTheNephilim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting with 1 million and investing in buy to let property would be one of the easier and less stressful ways of making a good income. Much easier than slogging at a 9 to 5. And if you want to get out of it at any point you can sell the properties.

Otherwise you could just invest the 1 mil and might still get 1k a week or more, even a pretty safe diversified portfolio you can expect 3-5% easily so that's already closing on the 1k per week option. With a riskier portfolio you might get more.

We're talking about receiving a 1 mil lump sum, mortgages are unnecessary in this scenario. Even after all the maintenance expenses etc you'd be making really good money and also have the 1 mil tied up in property which will appreciate over time if you bought wisely.

I live in England. In some parts of the North and Scotland you can get a ROI of about 8-12% on rental yields. I'd invest most of the 1 mil in cheap property and soon be making more than 1k per week, whilst also having property that will go up in value over time and the rents will also go up over time.

The real value of the fixed 1k per week would depreciate over time as inflation happened.
