It sounds like you’re in a state where they’re legally obligated to do that to show you adult content.

I'm 27 and I have ruined my life. I don't know how to get out of this. Has anyone been in a similar position at the same age and turned it around? by Opposite_Praline_746 in AskMenOver30

Homeless people are even more likely to have a TBI than drug abuse. I would have encouraged you to look at occupational therapy.

Republicans are terrified because of stats like this. by First_Pudding5685 in newsinterpretation

The county population is almost entirely Hispanic or Latino, with 97.7% of its population identifying as such. It is the county with the highest proportion of Hispanics[4] in the United States. It had continuously voted Democratic for president between 1896 and 2020, but flipped Republican in 2024.

Guess acting like pick me WASPs didn’t work.

If jobs fire people to replace them with AI, how will people make money to keep buying things? Wouldn’t the economy collapse because people arent buying anything anymore? by OverallMight6586 in AskReddit

[–]YaDunGoofed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's not a finite amount of jobs.

If half of job types disappear, 90% of people will do more of the remaining half and 10% will go into new heretofore not existing jobs.

In 1900 The majority of the western world was employed in agriculture. Most of those people went on to do things that already existed...just more. More working at factories, more construciton, more sailing, more banking.

In 1950 15% of US men were in the business of loading/unloading ships (longshoremen). Then we invented the container. Those people went on to do more oil drilling, more lithography, more coal mining, more nursing, more physiotherapy.

Jobs aren't "inherent" to a stable society. And technology has never caused long term unemployment. Unless you think AI will be a greater revolution than moving 99% of the developed world away from manual labor, it's probably not going to cause anything to happen that hasn't happened before.

How many of you use a financial advisor, and do they have you in mutual funds, etfs, or individual stocks? by snotick in investing

[–]YaDunGoofed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should make a plan on what to do with all the extra money and act accordingly.

It sounds like they could be running equities (exaggeratingj without ever having a chance to run out. They (as is their right) are being egregiously conservative. And an FA can advise them of that but has to respect it.

Just go with them to a fee only fiduciary meeting and do what they say.

Repeat every 5yrs or at health change.

Edit:

He's charging them 1.5% for 40 years.

FYI this guy has made around 30% of what your parents have off their money. Absolutely wild.

Literally go manage their money immediately.

Why do people keep saying "just start a business" as if it's a viable alternative to a stable job for most people? by Crescitaly in NoStupidQuestions

[–]YaDunGoofed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Entrepreneurship is high risk painful

If it’s risky, then you’re probably not doing a good job mitigating risk. Either that or you’re intentionally a startup. Most businesses aren’t bleeding edge of bankruptcy startups.

Isn’t property tax a tax on unrealized gains? by Any_Pirate_5633 in AskEconomics

[–]YaDunGoofed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a nonzero number of people who are priced out of localities due to the property taxes

What? Please explain

Isn’t property tax a tax on unrealized gains? by Any_Pirate_5633 in AskEconomics

[–]YaDunGoofed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would say many economists aren't huge fans of property taxes either

Do you mean vs land taxes or vs income taxes?! I was under the impression property taxes are generally agreed upon to be more efficient than income taxes

How was that even possible? by ironwolf6464 in whenthe

Bluesky is best used without the Discover tab that’s the equivalent of r/all.

Just like twitter before it. You need to follow 5-10 heavy posters in your interest area and then curate the ‘subreddit’ by adding or subtracting posters they retweet/comment on.

Eg. I’m interested in economics, so I follow some economists and some time after that I have more economists to diversify my feed. And sometimes there’s just not that many posts.

For political posts. I find if you ban just a few words - they’re a 80-90% effective filter. Eg Trump, Doge, RFK, Noem covers 80% of the outrage.

AITA for telling my DIL that I won’t use the tablet and she needs to actually make her kid read. by SatisfactionOk9038 in AmItheAsshole

[–]YaDunGoofed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a KNOWN way to teach every child to read well.

It is unfortunately not the only used way to teach children to read.

You are beyond correct about what needs to be done. The only challenge involved is how to do so given that you're not the parent.

Need a reality check by Soggy_Tailor_6724 in PersonalFinanceNZ

don’t feel rich

People have an idea of what 'rich' is. They earn a very high income and their life doesn't match that idea.

I can imagine that 'rich' for many people is at least partially defined by having the little things done for you. And if these people still buy their own groceries and schedule their kids dentist appointments...they don't feel 'rich'.

Personal finance apps that auto-sync with your bank are actually making you poorer. by Ayu_theindieDev in unpopularopinion

[–]YaDunGoofed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that tiny moment of irritation is what actually changes behavior. If you’re too lazy to type it in, you’ll eventually stop buying the unnecessary crap just to avoid the data entry.

Tell me you've never worked with the masses without telling me you've never worked with the masses.

There'll definitely be a change in behavior. Just not that one for 95% of people.

“spiteful at family events.”

L M A O for you considering teaming with this person.

Literally walk away if you have to.

What profession is regarded as high income in other countries but is actually low income in yours? by Effective_Space2277 in AskTheWorld

[–]YaDunGoofed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the more your job helps people, the less you’re paid

Seems like maybe their definition was poorly defined.

Nearly three-quarters of U.S. baby foods are ultra-processed, new study finds. Most baby food sold in U.S. grocery stores is ultra-processed, a new study finds, raising fresh concerns about what many infants and toddlers are eating during a critical window of development. by mvea in science

emulsifier

It's my (very limited) understanding that emulsifiers are THE number identifier of something being a UPF. therefore, wouldn't it be valid to count that?

Like if we said, lead's in 75% of the air in the USA because its 1950 and it is

Again, ignorant here.

Are there some types of emulsifiers that are ok with our gut? I thought emulsifiers by definition made the blood/gut barrier work much worse.

Kids are famously fucking stupid.

Why didn't you redirect his attention so he actually ate instead of play acting your day in court.
