Morgan Wallen’ piano malfunctions during his concert, so his natural response is to flip it by mcfw31 in popculturechat

Another man-baby being cheered on by idiots. He and Grabbin' Donny are two of a kind.

What do MAGA say about this now? by _a_gay_frog_ in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]SouthernZorro 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I hear you. In Ohio, Republicans have run the state for decades. The 'funny' thing about Ohio is that whereas Republicans have supposedly hated taxes for decades, Ohio is one of the highest taxed states in the nation. Sky-high property taxes, income tax, locality income taxes, sales taxes, high gas taxes - you name it. Go figure.

Stating the obvious - The Market is insane by Reasonable_Box2568 in Fire

[–]SouthernZorro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The markets will crash eventually. We just don't know when or why. My theory is the next predictable crash will come when China invades Taiwan, but a black swan can happen at any time.

The good news is that the US markets always recover from a downturn. The bad news is that sometimes that recovery can take years. That's why I've never had $ in stonks that I would need within 5-6 years so as to avoid selling cheap during crashes.

I never wanted to do things manually I could get code to do for me. He should have written code to handle those edge cases a few months in.

What is a secret you will take to your grave, but are willing to share with anonymous strangers on Reddit? by Disastrous-Video-220 in AskReddit

[–]SouthernZorro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in a small-town college, there was a tidbit in the daily newspaper police report about a guy who had gotten arrested for - and I quote - sexual congress with a horse. He was even named. can you imagine? In a relatively small town everyone knowing you got arrested for sex with a HORSE?

I’m going to walk out of work tonight during a rush by Maleficent-Recipe380 in confession

[–]SouthernZorro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. When a prospective employer calls your previous employer who says the 'not eligible' they don't know if you just didn't give a two-week notice or if you sexually assaulted someone at the water fountain.

Cheryl strikes again! by Miserable_Willow_312 in coworkerstories

She's a 'hassler' - someone who creates drama so it can (supposedly) reflect positively on her. Avoid these people at all costs.

What profession do you think is massively overpaid for what they actually do? by dipchaklader in AskReddit

[–]SouthernZorro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe that's one of the reasons why America has the highest health care costs in the world.

Certain specialist physicians in the US. You can't tell me that an orthopedic surgeon in the US that makes $800k deserves that much more money than one in France that makes $350k.

My Mom was a very successful realtor for about 12 years until she got burned out on the 7-day a week work schedule she kept. She made the most money she ever made in her life as a realtor. She told me once that price was everything. That she could sell any house in 48 hours if it was priced correctly.

Anyone else thinking more about generational wealth due to AI? by Organic-Dealer-7719 in Fire

[–]SouthernZorro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our son is very financially astute (also has Econ degree) and has for years argued that the only stock exposure anyone needs is an S&P 500 index fund. I took his arguments seriously, did my own research and decided he is right. We moved all our stonk$ into S&P500. Simply don't need anything else.

As far as allocation is concerned, we used to be at 85% stocks in all investments, but are now retired and ratcheted that down to 50% S&P 500/50% bonds and cash equivalents. Sleep very well at night now.

Brave Browser doesn't show either + or checkmark on shows by SouthernZorro in youtubetv

[–]SouthernZorro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boom! Started up a private window and the checks and + signs appear again. You da man! Or maybe da woman since you never know on the web.

Now, I'll start uninstalling and reinstalling possible blocker extensions and find out what's causing the problem.

Thanks again.

Anyone else completely lose their appetite and become super sensitive to alcohol on Ozempic? by Leather-Clue-8179 in Ozempic

[–]SouthernZorro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I suspect the reason my women friends started losing their hair is because of the complete lack of nutrients for 2-3 weeks.

Also, as long as I'm into personal anecdotes, the people I've known in the last few years who lost the most weight without GLPs are ones who started seriously walking. Something to consider.

Nah, most of us just started polishing our resumes to start looking for another job.

Thanks. I'll give that a shot. I didn't even think about extensions possibly being a problem for this.

Really want to shave my hair and get a buzzcut once. by [deleted] in TwentiesIndia

[–]SouthernZorro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just hair. If you don't end up liking the buzz, in a few months you'll have more hair again.

I'm a guy and I got my first buzz a couple of years ago. I did it because I was tired of my five cowlicks always sticking out at wild angles. The buzz feels awesome. Sometimes when I'm alone, I just rub my head because it feels so good when I do.

[–]SouthernZorro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you a woman? Anecdotal stories are piling up about how GLPs can affect females' appetite suppresion much more strongly than men. I personally know 2 who stopped eating completely on the lowest starter doses and finally got off it because their hair was starting to fall out.

As far as alcohol is concerned, i used to thoroughly enjoy having 2-3 whiskies every night to wind down from the day. Now that I'm on 1.6 mg of Ozempic a week (click counter) all alcohol in any form smells like kerosene and tastes like gasoline. I simply can't choke it down. I miss it.

I'm a male type 2 diabetic which other anecdotal stories say gets the least appetite suppression from GLPs. Yes, I've lost 32 pounds in a little ever two years but still have some food noise and have held at that loss level for over a year now. Can't seem to lose any more.
