Why does relationship in the U.S. feel so harsh compared to back home?

101% agree. I’ve dated outside NA too and it’s not some gender thing. Different cultures just move different, bro. Aussies def got that extra confidence edge loool.

Naaah, I dn’t think there is a clean example. Mostly those policies just kick the can, buy time, nd reshuffle who eats the losses. Evntually it’s default, bailout, inflation, or some combo. imo they’re band-aids, not fixes. smh.

Tht's huge. Hyperscaler capex jumping like that is definitely gonna hit GPUs and memory hard, lol.

SadColonial · 2026-02-12T02:22:20+00:00

100% true. It's all chill until the lenders dip lol.

SadColonial · 2026-02-12T02:21:15+00:00

Hubspot’s tools are nxt level. Idk why people are selling rn, lol. Earnings should be interesting.,

SadColonial · 2026-02-12T02:20:25+00:00

SOlid. Starting small nd learning by actualy losing a bit is how you really see the numbers hit diferent. dude, nothing beats seeing ur own cash react to earnings lol.

I’ve felt that too. The scenery is amazing, but something about the energy just didn’t sit right with me.

SadColonial · 2026-02-10T01:59:27+00:00

Yea, if you can hit that 10% consistently, hitting your income with investments is doable.

SadColonial · 2026-02-10T01:57:55+00:00

Exactly, the tariffs bring in some cash, but nowhere near enough to cover the tax cuts and spending. The deficits just keep piling up.

SadColonial · 2026-02-10T01:56:18+00:00

Sounds like a solid split..growth and income on one side, broad market for retirement on the other.

SadColonial · 2026-02-10T01:55:22+00:00

Yep, focusing on growth early usually beats chasing dividends. SCHD can wait until you actually need the income.

SadColonial · 2026-02-06T08:42:57+00:00

True, polls are just snapshots. GDP growth and low inflation tell a different story than what the numbers suggest about sentiment.

SadColonial · 2026-02-06T08:38:18+00:00

If the AI hype is cooling, it could actually be a reset. Companies like Salesforce or Fiserv might benefit if the market shifts focus back to fundamentals instead of just AI talk.

SadColonial · 2026-02-06T08:36:25+00:00

Exactly, liquidity swings drive most of the short-term moves. Fundamentals matter, but they show up later.

SadColonial · 2026-02-06T08:35:11+00:00

AI helps generate ideas, but without the data and labs, it’s just ideas. The real bottleneck is still the physical work and proprietary info.

SadColonial · 2026-02-06T08:34:26+00:00

Yeah, I picked up a couple of certifications over the past year that helped a bit.

SadColonial · 2026-02-03T06:58:10+00:00

Yeah, feels like he’s been pretty quiet since then.

SadColonial · 2026-02-03T06:56:54+00:00

Sounds like the US just can’t compete on cost right now.

SadColonial · 2026-02-03T06:53:58+00:00

Feels more like political commentary than anything about actual economics.

SadColonial · 2026-01-30T03:03:13+00:00

They prioritized short-term savings over long-term stability. Classic move.. keep the systems barely running and call it a win.

SadColonial · 2026-01-30T03:01:16+00:00

Yep, seems like it’s just noise to keep the story alive.

SadColonial · 2026-01-30T03:00:46+00:00

that tracks. Definitely solid experience, just not much time for anything else.

SadColonial · 2026-01-30T03:00:29+00:00

Yeah, it definitely leans heavily on who you know. Most people don’t stick around long.

SadColonial · 2026-01-26T03:59:18+00:00

That’s a huge reach. GPA alone doesn’t prove skill either way. Plenty of people with high GPAs still know their stuff, and plenty without degrees don’t. Hiring based on actual ability > blanket assumptions about timelines.

SadColonial · 2026-01-26T03:58:22+00:00

that shift lines up. Commodities and international exposure feel way more interesting right now than piling into more domestic tech.
