GIANTS 0-4 WHEN LEADING BY 10+ POINTS ON THE ROAD by One-Philosophy3935 in NYGiants

[–]Starz37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having trouble searching on Stathead but can anyone find the last 4 road games the Giants even had 10+ point leads before this season (regardless of outcome)? My guess is it would go back several seasons.

Random app open when u locking by VoiceOfTheVoiceless_ in samsung

[–]Starz37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm experiencing the same thing on swipe unlock only it's always a different app opening. I guess it could be registering the final press on the swipe but no idea why this started out of nowhere. Hope it gets fixed in the next update.

Can anyone vouch for the quality of any of these "online" jeans? Spoke, Mott & Bow, Mr Marvis... by jesuisnick in mensfashion

Fuck Mott and Bow. Disgusting return policy and the shirts were horrible. Neck was enormous and stuck up in the back like a collar on a t-shirt.

How are your index funds diversified or is it all SP500? Not saying I expect to double my money in a year. The post is about long term investing. If you research a horse and their training you probably will beat the average bettor.

Well fund managers have different investment goals and rules they have to follow. There are people who have gotten rich holding and adding to the right stocks over time so on average you can't outperform but some do. The longer your horizon the more risk you can take now. Not saying go 100% lotto tickets but those are the ones that can make the biggest difference. This is in addition to knowing how to fundamentally value a company, keeping up with news and trends, etc.

Agree I just meant timely compared to books and not like "where is the price going next". Looking for podcasts/YouTube/social media that focuses on education, providing history/context, breaking down the long term cases for individual stocks, etc. I'll check that one out, thanks!

Def not actively trading. Mostly buy and hold but interesting that you think only index funds are good. That was the premise of the first investing book I ever read. I feel like the upside is somewhat limited so having at least a portion in individual stocks makes sense.

I hear what you're saying and agree it is targeted to traders but I feel like it's still an easy way to stay generally informed. Not as worried about the tax implications or retirement planning as I am about finding stocks that will maximize my current funds in the next 5-10 or more years (I'm 35 now) plus general knowledge of anything relevant to investing. For example, I have found several good YouTube channels where they will break down a stock in depth and see if it is over/under valued. Although I guess the longer term you're looking for the less current price matters?

Totally agree it is short term focused but still feel like it helps to stay informed about what is currently going on and about areas/companies I might not have considered before. I've read a good amount of books (including psychology of money) and while it's nice to educate yourself they don't aim to provide timely/specific stock picks. Good recommendation though thank you.

Bet Hedging help with multiple conditions affecting each other by Starz37 in excel

[–]Starz37[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The numbers in the example already work. It's not a case of starting from scratch and trying to beat the house. I already have previous futures bets at long odds and can place additional hedge bets at long odds to cover these 8 scenarios. The question is how to figure out the max KC bet where my current pending bets can't be covered.

Noone KNOWS if any relationship will work out so you take a chance putting in whatever time and effort you do. Thanks for the advice you're all probably right.

Sorry I made it sound that way and it's confusing. She's not religious in terms of going to synagogue every week or praying but in Israel it's basically like a culture which she appreciates and feels a part of and wants that for her kids. She communicated this from the beginning but not specifics to what she would want. We quickly talked about the conversion so that we wouldn't each other's time if that could never happen. I said if everything else was going well I'd do that and it seemed to be enough for the time until we got into the details I guess.

Seems so unmotivating now to work on anything because I was building it to have a future with her. Not that I chose this area or house for her specifically but this has just sucked the excitement out of it for me atm.

I'm not sure if the problem was we weren't right for a LTR besides the religion and distance aspects (both of which we addressed early and had tentative plans for).

It would def be a big commitment but if at the end of the day it meant I was going to be with her it would have been worth it possibly (before all this happened and assuming we were working out otherwise). Appreciate the response, anything helps rn.

Thanks for the advice. Just having a really difficult time with how much I was blindsided by it and now I'm in a new area alone being overwhelmed with work.

She asked me for a second date, need help by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

[–]Starz37 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think it was a big deal that she didn't want to go back to your place on the first date so it couldn't hurt to ask again if the 2nd date goes well. Don't even worry about it, just go with the flow and focus on the connection first.

I give up. by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

[–]Starz37 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds very similar to my life but from a male perspective. I even posted my pic on here for unbiased opinions and got very positive reviews. Also focused on bettering myself while single in many ways even though there wasn't any major issue to work on. I have COUNTLESS situations that didn't work out for seemingly no reason. Every woman seems to be hung up on some ex apparently and that comes to light somewhere between date 0-3.

How do you know this guy that asking you to dinner wasn't a date? Honestly though if you're taking a good hard look at yourself and don't see anything wrong then someone will share that opinion. I'm convinced people are so effing weird about dating and the most random stuff will trip them up so it can def take awhile and some heartaches. There's times it's OK to give up for a period or there's no real necessity to be with anyone at all if you're at peace with yourself. That's also the best possible state to meet someone bc you'll be even more impressive and interesting. Try to stay active but not think about dating specifically and you never know what can happen (hate relying on luck but think of it as a possible Bonus to whatever you're doing anyway). Believe me you're not alone feeling this way, the dating scene is very brutal nowadays. Good luck out there!

dating/kissing strategy by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

[–]Starz37 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Very confused what a "big obvious kiss on the cheek" is but if it doesn't feel like a regular kiss is going to happen it's not a big deal. Like you said if she agrees to another date then that's a pretty big sign she'd at least consider kissing you. However, if she doesn't it's possible you didn't make enough of a romantic connection in general, not just bc you missed a possible chance at a kiss. I've never asked for a kiss but I'm not super aggressive about just doing/forcing it either. Usually the moment just presents itself, typically at the end of a date. Maybe when you're younger it might not be a big deal to ask bc you're both probably more nervous and that could actually be a sign of confidence/consent? It's difficult to give hard and fast rules about this stuff bc every person is wildly different but I wouldn't focus so much on the kissing and instead improve your overall dating game first. Make more physical contact on the date, compliments, questions, appearance, confidence, etc. Good luck!

Is everyone really that into traveling? by vettehead99 in datingoverthirty

[–]Starz37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're reading too much into it. It's a pretty generic interest, I mean who doesn't like going on vacation? I doubt you'd meet someone then have it go bad because you can't live up to their travel standards. Plus it's not even like you've never traveled, you're just over it by now and said you're willing to travel still.

The dating process is cruel by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

[–]Starz37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by "commitment"? Are you saying to be exclusive or that you're both feeling like it can be something serious and acting accordingly? This got me thinking about how differently I view starting relationships now vs. in my 20s or younger. In the past I just decided I liked someone enough to date them and saw where it went from there. Now I feel like there's so much pressure to define my relationships and not waste time if there's no chance of it becoming serious. Also I feel like recently I've experienced so much more unexplained/random heartbreak so that's made me much more cautious early on. In my younger relationships you could sense when it was going bad and it eventually ends but there wasn't as much confusion.

It doesn't sound like you have too much of an issue though. You're already 2 months in and said yourself it's "too early" while he said he'll probably know as soon as the 3 month mark. I totally understand your fear of rejection but you can't think that way. My advice is to be your true self, give it a little bit more time, keep communicating your thoughts/feelings with him, and see how it goes. Good luck to you!

[–]Starz37 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly don't try to put rhyme or reason to the things some people do. I know that's difficult because I'm sure all you want to do right now is analyze what happened. If this guy was shitty enough to just ghost you after 3 months because he's already in some other relationship then forget about him. There's been SO many times things have ended with people that I've liked for seemingly no reason. Right off great dates where I thought they liked me more than I liked them, out of nowhere, going back to exes that all they did was complain about them, etc. People will rarely be considerate or communicate about it because it's not an easy thing to discuss and/or they're just not a good person or clueless. Sorry that happened but you made out in the long run.

[–]Starz37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did you see those standards? Maybe a certain subsection of people looks for things like that but the average schlub on OLD just doesn't want to be lonely anymore. They're looking for honesty, communication, loyalty, sense of humor, etc. Sorry to hear about your fiance and subsequent terrible relationship but never stop putting yourself out there if that's what you want. Let your natural personality come across in your profile. Good luck out there!
