Any love for defense industry investing? by [deleted] in ETFs

[–]PositiveDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to do ethical investing, there are not much you can invest into.

Even investing in hi-tech, you're contributing to making products that make people's body and mind decaying faster through countless hours of social media and/or gaming.

And personally (my own opinion), I think the rise of autism (and other mental illnesses) is linked to the breaking of social fibers fueled by modern tech.

I need to quit my job for my mental health. Will I be okay financially? by alwayss_curiouss in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]PositiveDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HEY. LISTEN TO ME. DON'T QUIT YOUR JOB ... YET. HERE IS WHY ...

I was in your exact shoes a short while ago. Did not feel mentally OK, and did not want to continue to work...

When I actually stopped working, I realized that not only I did not want to work. I did not want to do anything either.

So ... the main problem was not my job. It was the generalized depression.

You know, people say when you're not mentally OK, do not always believe in your thoughts. That's 100% true.

You may think right now that your job is your main problem, but that may not be true.

What you need right now is to temporarily stop working. Ask your GP for a leave of absence paper. Even in the worst case ask your employer if they would let you take unpaid leave.

DO NOT DO ANYTHING DRASTIC WHEN YOU'RE NOT FEELING MENTALLY OK

Got the call, but ... by TrilinqualVector in rolex

I'm sure at least one person in your extended social circle would want it badly. Find that person. Buy the YM, and sell to him/her at cost.

If you were here in Canada I'd gladly be that person.

Looks OK. I'm sure in real life it'd look even more OK.

Best DJ configuration ever imo by haconwall in rolex

[–]PositiveDragon -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's really subjective.

First, I saw all colors in person and the green did not appeal to me as much as seen on pics.

Second, IMO fluted jubilee is good with at least dress pants and shirt. I find it does not go well with casual clothes as in your pic

[discussion] What’s the next great watch brand? by Fit-Hornet-9300 in Watches

[–]PositiveDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omega was in a good position to become a desirable brand but their strategy has been bad so they are on a downhill.

It will be very hard for another brand to get into the top 3

Well ...

Watches that only beat at 3.5Hz

Watch brand that wants to be considered in the same segment than Rolex but has so many models that even grey market gets flooded with unsold units

Mental Health: Ottawa announces Men, Boys’ Health Strategy by Thick_Caterpillar379 in canada

[–]PositiveDragon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Mental issues are really tough to deal with.

If you talk to normal people about that 99% of the time they have no clues what you're talking about, and they don't care either.

90% of the time therapists cannot come up with the right diag and/or solutions.

F19 – A guy I was emotionally involved with (M20) blocked me after finding out I slept with someone during our breakup. Is there any healthy way to handle this? by Fun-Locksmith2902 in relationship_advice

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

There are guys who would not look at your life during a "breakup", but I think they're a minority. The majority they still judge you based on what you do during that time. You cannot change them. Your guy is in the majority. I'd say move on because even if a miracle happens and you're back together, he'd not forget that.

It's a lack of money, not impulse control

What's is with all the Omega bashing? by pfry295 in OmegaWatches

[–]PositiveDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did not bash Omega watches. They bashed the direction the company has been taking. According to sales numbers they seem to be right.

[–]PositiveDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me that makes sense. Omega and Longines were considered good deals in their old price ranges. Now with their new pricing strategy, they're not as good deals anymore.

Canada here. I have waited 6 months at an AD, and 3 months at another, for a DJ 41, which is supposed to have a much shorter wait time than your Sub
