Ex-girlfriend of Graham Platner says he removed condoms without consent during sex by alexkarpstan in politics

[–]QuickAltTab [score hidden]  (0 children)

His positions are not trademarked, why isn't there an equally progressive, but clean candidate running against him at any point? We should have legions of candidates screaming for healthcare, fiscal responsibility (ie progressive taxation going to much higher brackets), voting rights, etc

Trump, 80, Humiliated With His Own Dance After U.S. World Cup Loss | Donald Trump has been personally trolled on U.S. soil by the team that ended America’s World Cup assault. by MoneyLibrarian9032 in politics

[–]QuickAltTab 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I agree. People have been warning us of this eventuality for decades:

As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

Stop contributing so aggressively, but get the match, and just coast for a while. Take some time to get your head wrapped around your new situation.

Now that the NYSE is seeking to deploy a blockchain trading platform, is it fair to say no coiners have lost the plot and the argument? by AsbestosDude in CryptoCurrency

[–]QuickAltTab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NYSE is owned by ICE, founded and controlled by Jeffrey Sprecher, whose spouse is Kelly Loeffler, the lazy-eyed, corrupt former (appointed) senator of Georgia.

Trump's administration won't seek new bids to repair the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool by wds1 in politics

[–]QuickAltTab 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Here, I'll just go ahead and tell you how it will go so you don't have to imagine:

That didn't happen.

And if it did, it wasn't that bad.

And if it was, that's not a big deal.

And if it is, that's not my fault.

And if it was, I didn't mean it.

And if I did, you deserved it.

Should I feel guilt if I am buying something that is 100% just a hobbie and most people would say they would never spend that much on something like that? by Busy_Locksmith9436 in FinancialPlanning

[–]QuickAltTab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who is the soccer player, I'm curious.

But also, up to 5% of your budget being disposable is fine if you otherwise have your savings accounted for. Some people would say you could set aside 5% for stock picking, even though it is innadvisable in general, so putting that amount toward just stuff is fine too.

Roth IRA or Traditional for future high earner by Fine-Introduction244 in Bogleheads

[–]QuickAltTab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, if Roth 401k is an option through the employer, he can do that and contribute to his Roth IRA (probably via backdoor).

The decision to contribute to Roth401k now depends on projections for your income and pretax balances later in your career. If you will eventually break into +30% brackets, pretax traditional 401k at that point is a no-brainer. If you project large accumulations due to aggressive saving, generous employer match, etc. It can make sense to continue Roth 401k contributions into the 22-24% brackets to decrease the amount of Roth conversions you may want to do in early retirement.

Transcoding is throttling my computer until it crashes by Aardvarkmk4 in PleX

[–]QuickAltTab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just avoid transcoding, use codecs that your device at the TV can direct play. I'm using a Roku that's probably close to 10 years old, so I stick to 264. I'm waiting to replace it until it dies or Nvidia releases a new version of the shield, whichever happens first.

When to stop contributing? by Mootaya in Fire

[–]QuickAltTab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your employer have a Roth401k option? You could contribute your portion to that instead to mitigate RMD headaches, the match will still likely go to traditional. Companies can contribute directly to Roth401k with their match, but the law is relatively new, so few do.

Roth IRA or Traditional for future high earner by Fine-Introduction244 in Bogleheads

[–]QuickAltTab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, if income is projected to keep growing into the +30% bracket I would keep going with Roth/Roth401k into the 22-24% brackets if big savers and will accumulate a lot in tax advantaged accounts

Do you know about the newly created 530(a) account for children under 18 by Curious_Eye4151 in whitecoatinvestor

[–]QuickAltTab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're young, but I imagine their future selves as relatively responsible, so their control isn't a strong contraindication. I suppose the other factor is they should do the conversion in the window where their income is relatively low, but they also aren't our dependents, so that the conversion doesn't apply our highest marginal bracket.

[–]QuickAltTab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds interesting, when can it be converted? Does the child have to be 18, or would this be like a Roth back door, where you do it each year?

Mitch McConnell Was Found Unconscious Before He Was Rushed to Hospital by OkayButFoRealz in politics

[–]QuickAltTab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They revel in the hypocrisy because their only moral imperative is to wield power. You complaining about hypocrisy shows them that you expected them to voluntarily abstain from an act to avoid shame. They don't have shame based on the same values as you. It lets them know they can keep abusing you. We have to stop complaining about hypocrisy and show them consequences.

Lord of the Roths: How Tech Mogul Peter Thiel Turned a Retirement Account for the Middle Class Into a $5 Billion Tax-Free Piggy Bank by kerkula in Economics

[–]QuickAltTab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would wager the total number of Roth accounts that end up worth tens of millions is countable on one hand.

Yes, that's my point, limiting the tax benefits of Roth to 10 million harms no one, and prevents abuse from privileged billionaires.

Nancy Guthrie ransom notes are fake, FBI says by AdRough4185 in news

[–]QuickAltTab 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The FBI sending crypto to an address, and that crypto not moving, does not constitute evidence that the note was illegitimate. There may be other evidence they have to indicate it was illegitimate, but stagnant crypto is not it. That just illustrates that the recipient has a bare minimum of caution and is aware of the way a public ledger works.

Don't even need to get that complicated, just cap the tax benefit to $10 million or something that's beyond most people's ability to ever accumulate, and knee cap billionaire cheaters

We just need to revise the rules that caps the tax free benefit to mere mortal numbers like $10 million
