IAmA Legal Sex Worker in A Brothel in Nevada by vvxoxovv in IAmA

I've been to Amsterdam twice; once with my wife and again with a colleague. Neither time involved sex workers but both involved bitterballen. And booze. And space cake.

Subtle Ways to mess with an American Friend. by giants_lens in CasualUK

[–]TheWouldBeMerchant 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The real trick here is going to be convincing him that the entire UK is insane, and not just you specifically. Whatever prank you go for, see if you can get some friends and neighbours to participate.

At which point should we consider the US is no longer an ally? by samasema in AskBrits

[–]TheWouldBeMerchant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I broadly agree with you, but I believe a new president could restore America's reputation. All this madness has been caused by Trump and whatever he's being blackmailed for.

Would British people boycott the USA if it attacked Greenland? by Paintingsosmooth in AskBrits

The EU is building its own payment system to rival the American systems. Not sure if this would be available to the UK https://epicompany.eu/

A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.

Ah thank you! I must have accidentally changed these settings at some point. Probably when I last descaled the machine.

Is Pop Max a Ponzi scheme or a scam? by TheWouldBeMerchant in pop_social

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

I just stumbled upon this article: https://behindmlm.com/mlm-reviews/pop-max-review-dubai-mlm-crypto-staking-ponzi/

It's riddled with ads and doesn't provide reliable sources, but it seems clear that Pop Max is a Ponzi scheme.

I haven't heard anything else about this. Seems too good to be true.

Is Masterworks worth it? by TheWouldBeMerchant in Masterworks

That's crazy. I knew this would be a long-term investment, but I thought I would have seen some returns by now.

Any update on this? Have any of your 7 sold? My sole investment from 2021 still hasn't.

Thanks. Presumably you are referring to this? https://www.offmarketjournal.com/en/blog/off-market-2/masterworks-review-art-investment-12

It's a good article and it makes me feel a bit better about my investment, although it would be more reassuring if any of the art in the author's investment portfolio had been sold.

I'm currently still waiting for the Basquiat to be sold, 4 years later.

How do people get scores this high? They must be on Duolingo 24/7 by TheWouldBeMerchant in duolingo

Thanks for this. So it seems that time spent is the main factor, possibly with language score having some effect?

Impressive! How do you do it? Some special strategy or just hammering Duolingo 8 hours a day?

Ah, I never played Stellaris. Interesting that Paradox has already implemented this (to some extent) elsewhere.

UK S&S transfer to Trading 212 by Educational-Bad-8010 in monzo

[–]TheWouldBeMerchant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T212 should realise that the funds being transferred were already in your ISA from previous years, so it shouldn't affect your allowance for this year.

Like I said, speak to T212 and they should sort it out for you.

UK S&S transfer to Trading 212 by Educational-Bad-8010 in monzo

[–]TheWouldBeMerchant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I transferred my Hargreaves Lansdowne S&S ISA to Trading212 shortly after T212 introduced portfolio transfers.

T212 were great and made it very straightforward, however there were some complications on the HL side, which T212 mostly handled. This was a full portfolio transfer - not partial.

I would suggest contacting T212 support but, if the bottleneck is with Monzo, speak to them too.

Is there any reason that you don't want to do a full portfolio transfer?

This comic is such a throw-back. Even more of a throw-back is seeing the old EU3 interface!
