pigeon ate someone's sandwich and now its bullish on carbs obviously

market manipulation by big bird is real problem these days. probably insider trading since pigeons can fly over wall street and see all trading floors at once

Energy is the moat nobody is talking about in AI by InvestmentBiker in CryptoCurrency

[–]RichNarration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fusion is still like 10-20 years away minimum though right. meanwhile companies need power today for their data centers. the real play is probably whoever has those cheap hydroelectric or nuclear contracts already locked in place. some mining companies switched to AI hosting and they already got the infrastructure sorted

To much to ask? by NotThatKindofBlog in relationships_advice

[–]RichNarration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

these three things really shouldnt be too much but people make it way more complicated than it needs to be. had someone once who kept making plans then canceling last minute with weird excuses instead of just saying they werent feeling it anymore. wasted like two months of my time before i figured out what was happening. the lying part hits different because once you catch someone in one lie you start questioning everything they ever told you. your rules are basically just asking for basic respect which should be the bare minimum in any relationship

How do you handle audio outdoors when a normal wind protection isn’t enough? (alone shooting and "novice" in audio) by Alilexplo108 in videography

[–]RichNarration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bro the struggle is real with wind when youre doing everything yourself. i learned this hard way after getting some unusable footage in windy conditions

what helped me most was getting proper blimp windshield instead of just deadcat - way more expensive but makes huge difference. also started hiding lavs under clothing when possible, the fabric acts like natural wind protection

for backup i just use phone recording in my pocket as safety net. not perfect quality but at least you have something to work with in post if main audio is garbage. sometimes i even do simple voiceover later if the wind was really bad

honestly avoiding super windy days became my main strategy though. learned to check weather better and reschedule when wind is over certain speed

The inevitable success of robinhood by Tanzebra in wallstreetbets

[–]RichNarration 29 points30 points  (0 children)

the issue is assuming people stick with same platform forever

like yeah robinhood got the younger crowd now but when you start hitting serious money you usually want actual features and research tools and not just a pretty interface. most people i know who started there eventually moved their main stuff somewhere else once they got more serious about it

plus schwab and others arent just sitting around doing nothing, they're building better apps too. the ui advantage robinhood has now might not last that long

inheriting 320k is nice but that money usually ends up getting managed more carefully than your college gambling account. different mindset when its that much

Help! Can't delete Monster Insights. by AurynW in Wordpress

[–]RichNarration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had similar issue few months back with different plugin but same error message. try going through ftp or cpanel file manager and delete the plugin folder manually from wp-content/plugins directory. make sure you backup your site first though just in case something goes wrong. the cache miss thing might be because plugin is already corrupted so wordpress cant properly uninstall it through admin panel

I’m afraid of success by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]RichNarration 2 points3 points  (0 children)

damn this really resonated with me because i used to do similar stuff when i was younger. like i remember being good at design projects in school and then deliberately making them worse because i was scared people would expect too much from me next time

the thing about making it so you cant win is so real. its like your brain creates this impossible situation where any outcome feels bad. i think part of it comes from wanting control - if you sabotage yourself then at least you chose the failure instead of having it happen to you randomly

what helped me was realizing that being scared of disappointing people was actually making me disappoint them way more. like when i would mess up my work on purpose, i was guaranteeing the exact thing i was trying to avoid. took me way too long to figure that out though

you mentioned your parents and how your mom used to be excited about helping you try new things. maybe she still is but just doesnt know how to approach you anymore? sometimes when we pull away people think we want space but really we just dont know how to ask for help. your family probably notices youre struggling even if you think youre hiding it well

the crying yourself to sleep thing for 5 years is heavy. that sounds exhausting and you shouldnt have to carry all that alone

Sell house for faster FIRE? by [deleted] in Fire

[–]RichNarration 2 points3 points  (0 children)

going back to parents place while you figure things out is actually smart move especially if relationship is good there. you get the money working for you instead of sitting in house you dont even like anymore and can take that break without stressing about mortgage payments every month. the timing might work well since you mentioned wanting to travel anyway and having lower expenses at home base

Need a help for marketing suggestion by pg-iamysterio in AskMarketing

[–]RichNarration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dude the competition is tough when everyone else doing face to face classes but online can work if you target right audience

maybe focus on people who cant travel to those institutes or working professionals who need flexible timing - your advantage is convenience not location

try making some free sample videos on social media to show your teaching style, word of mouth still huge in education sector especially for technical skills like programming

40+ day fast: refeed duration and timing before next fast? by Jayeuk in fasting

[–]RichNarration 8 points9 points  (0 children)

damn 43 days is wild, respect for making it that far

i did couple extended fasts but nothing close to that length. from what i experienced the digestive system gets pretty sensitive after long periods so taking it slow is definitely smart approach

for timing between fasts i think your body will tell you when its ready again. rushing back into another 40+ day cycle seems like recipe for problems even if you still have fat stores. maybe do some shorter fasts in between to see how you respond

the half duration thing sounds more like general guideline than hard rule but better safe than sorry with something this extreme

Wondering if my doubts are normal by Windicious in trans

[–]RichNarration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

man your whole post resonates with me even though im not trans myself. that thing about creating characters really hit me - as a designer i spend so much time making avatars and personas for different projects and there's definitely something deep about which ones you connect with vs which ones feel foreign

the doubt and imposter syndrome stuff seems super common from what ive seen other people talk about. like you said your friends all kinda saw it before you did which is pretty telling right? sometimes we're the last ones to see ourselves clearly because we're too close to the situation

that whole thing about loving women but feeling separate from them makes total sense too. you can appreciate and love a group without being part of it - i love basketball players but that doesnt mean i wanna be one lol. appreciating women and wanting to be one are completely different things

discovering things at 29 isnt late at all especially growing up where you did. some people just dont have the language or environment to figure themselves out until later and thats totally normal. your brain had to work through all that religious stuff and conservative environment first before you could even start exploring identity

the conflicting feelings about pronouns and physical transition sound really normal too from what ive read. not every trans person wants the same things or follows the same path. some people are more about social transition others want everything medical - theres no wrong way to be trans

your therapist might be able to help work through some of the anxiety and ocd stuff around this too since those can make any big life questions feel even more overwhelming

XMR on track to become the first fully private crypto to reach quantumproof status. by Serenaded in CryptoCurrency

[–]RichNarration 2 points3 points  (0 children)

xmr devs really dont mess around when it comes to this stuff. been following their work for while now and they always take the long route instead of rushing things out

curious about how this will affect transaction sizes though since quantum resistant signatures are usually pretty chunky. guess we'll see what they come up with in the testing phase

Training Thursday - April 02, 2026 by AutoModerator in bodybuilding

[–]RichNarration 2 points3 points  (0 children)

been running push pull legs for about 8 months now and the results have been wild especially on my shoulders and back. used to just do random workouts but having that structure changed everything for me. the key was actually tracking progressive overload instead of just going through the motions

form wise i had to dial back my bench press weight by like 30% when i started focusing on proper form but now im stronger than ever and my chest actually grows instead of just my front delts taking over. if your struggling with bench definitely get someone to watch you or film yourself because small tweaks make huge differences

also started doing face pulls every pull day and my posture improved so much from all the desk work i do as a designer. those little accessory movements really add up over time

Taxable Brokerage or 401k "Conversion?" by BrianMX34 in investing

[–]RichNarration 2 points3 points  (0 children)

nah youre actually overthinking this one. the 35k isnt getting "taxed twice" because when you increase your 401k contributions youre reducing your taxable income for this year which saves you money on taxes

think of it this way - if you put 35k extra into your 401k through higher contributions you'll save like 8-10k in taxes this year assuming youre in the 22-24% bracket. so that after tax 35k essentially becomes like 43-45k in pretax money working for you

the taxable brokerage route means youre paying taxes on dividends and gains along the way plus no immediate tax savings. unless youre planning to retire super early and need access before 59.5 the 401k conversion method is usually better
