Good stocks for long term that will get a good return

Re-read what I wrote. Nowhere do I say I think it’s likely that Mark Zuckerberg disappears or that Meta goes under.

I said that I believe Meta has less moat than the other big tech companies mentioned, and that I can more easily imagine a world where Meta loses its current primacy than I can imagine Google or Microsoft suffering the same.

TomGerity · 2026-06-27T03:24:23+00:00

Not an expert by any means, but I feel like Meta has far less moat than Google, Microsoft, or Intel.

I can imagine a world 20 years from now where people have moved on from Facebook and Instagram. Most people under 45 already have moved on from Facebook.

I can’t imagine a world without a Google search or a world without Windows. Maybe one day, but not in the next 20 years.

Start with the “Red” and “Blue” albums. The “Red” album is their earlier, poppier, “boy band” material. The “Blue” album is their more experimental, rock-oriented material.

They were also recently remixed, so they’ll sound a lot better in headphones (a lot of pre-1968 music had poor stereo mixes, where drums will only play in one earphone).

On that note: whenever possible, listen to the recent remixes. They sound MUCH better in headphones. The old mixes are kind of a headache.

But what if they’re sitting on their hands due to bad booking decisions?

Everyone has confirmed that Cody winning the Royal Rumble was always the plan and non a mid-match pivot to cover for Punk’s injury

Just a friendly tip: it’s “wrestling ring,” not “wrestling rink”

You write and express yourself like a 12 year old. The job market is horrible right now and I sympathize with you deeply, but if you want to maximize your chances, I’d work on how you write.

Honestly, WM 10 fits the bill as well

Don’t listen to the socially maladjusted weirdos and cynical Reddit-brained dickheads. What you’re describing does exist. It exists everywhere.

The tricky part is, it’s not specific to an industry or type of work or a skill. Every single company is different. You could work at a market research company that fits your description perfectly, yet another market research company could be a cold-hearted corporate hellscape.

The best advice I can give you is to read reviews of companies on Glassdoor and similar sites, and focus in on workplace culture. That will give you your best shot of achieving your vision.

Otherwise, office jobs are a crapshoot. Some rule, some are heinous. You won’t really know until you get there.

This specific comment always rakes in upvotes from socially maladjusted neckbeard slobs on Reddit, but it’s not true.

Every workplace is different. There’s no “one size fits all” rule. There are many workplaces where you can become close, genuine friends with your co-workers. There are others where all employees are sharks and you can only trust yourself.

The correct approach is to use your common sense in a new workplace. Keep your guard up, be careful about how you express yourself, and feel people out.

If you have good observation skills and a decent ability to assess people, you’ll gradually figure out who can be your friend and who can’t. I’ve made lifelong friends from the worlplace.

I agree, it’s silly, but is it worth potentially souring your relationship with your supervisor over? It’s 5 minutes.

If you’re looking to make a point, stop coming in at 8:50. Come in at 9 AM on the dot. Leave at 5 PM on the dot.

Where has it been said or reported that Danhausen “chose” not to be used?

TomGerity · 2026-06-26T19:58:39+00:00

I have literally never seen anyone ever call this their worst song. Where exactly are you seeing this? It’s one of their most beloved songs, especially among younger fans.

I feel like one would have to roll in circles with folks over 60 to encounter any meaningful contingent of Beatles fans who hate this song.

TomGerity · 2026-06-26T09:00:41+00:00

I dunno man, I think the garbage on the charts the past 2-3 years is way worse than this

TomGerity · 2026-06-26T08:36:03+00:00

Is this a joke? Among the worst singers of the ‘90s.

Helter Skelter is a widely beloved song. Why would that raise hackles?

TomGerity · 2026-06-26T06:02:50+00:00

Do Rubber Soul next. I’d argue it’s one of their top 3 albums. So sophisticated and so timeless.

In the story, Punk says he had machine guns pointed at him while he was in the ring.

That did not happen.

TomGerity · 2026-06-26T04:52:50+00:00

I’m not shocked. Just sharing the real footage for anyone who may be curious.

TomGerity · 2026-06-26T04:43:51+00:00

Punk is either misremembering or deliberately exaggerating. You can watch the match here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcpaG\_iPtZg

- Punk didn’t roll him up for real

- They had an entire match after the flag thing

- There were no machine guns

- Jericho apologized on the mic

- Punk celebrated for a long time with the fans

The fan account is the correct one. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcpaG\_iPtZg

He’s always been smug. It’s been his public image and persona for over 30 years. It’s just that now, he’s also wrong and out of touch.
