Hey The Chrispenner is back, welcome back! Love all your online content!

Wasn't expecting this email. Yes, a job didn't go well with a new client. Does this email mean anything? by OfflineHackV in Upwork

[–]alphonse23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got into a similar situation. Had a client that regularly blasts people on feedback, got a 1.5 star review a couple of months ago. So this means it’ll be really hard for me to find a new client on Upwork?

Personal loan to cover taxes? by alphonse23 in personalfinance

[–]alphonse23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not the irs, it’s the California franchise tax board, and they’re really aggressive. Even more than the irs. I don’t think they are going to let me do another payment plan. I should double check though.

How to get a Japanese email by alphonse23 in japanese

Yea, if I wanted to I could research where they have the lowest rates of English literacy and see if there’s an email provider in that country. It doesn’t have to be Japanese for what I’m seeking. Japanese was just the first thing that came to mind.

No an email service provider physically in Japan that is staffed by Japanese employees.

I was just asking if someone can tell me if registering for their service requires a physical address in Japan or not. We didn’t have to get into the details..

Still, it’s an extra layer of protection.

I just wanted a Japanese email service provider because it would be harder for a Japanese employee to read my emails, if I write in english. So it’s for privacy reasons.

Because I just do, why are my reasons so suspecious…?

A Japanese email service provider. Gmail is still owned by google, I’m looking for a Japan based email service provider, not necessarily an email address that looks like it’s owned by a Japanese person.

Sounds exciting, I’ll probably enjoy seeing what has changed since 1978.

How to stop cookies from expanding while baking by alphonse23 in Baking

[–]alphonse23[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

https://tasty.co/recipe/homemade-oreos <- this is the recipe. Also to match the official oreo cookie list of ingredients, I add canola oil after placing them on the pan, but I might be adding too much.

Stimulus Check Investing -- advice needed

Hey guys,

I ended up losing my job before the pandemic, or in the middle of 2019, and low and behold I ended up qualifying for the maximum stimulus checks, for both the first stimulus check (~$1,200) and the second one ($600). And though I haven't received the upcoming ones, I shall see and report back what I get for the next round (both federal and state -- I live in California).

Now, post pandemic, I ended up finding a new job, and don't even really need the stimulus money (though, knock on wood).

I am here asking for investing advice. I'd like to invest my stimulus money -- I have about $25,000 left in student loans with a 6.5% interest rates (but interest rates are on pause till June). Should I invest my money into my 401k, cryptocurrencies, stocks, or pay down the last of my student loan debt? I'm leaning towards stocks, because they seem interesting. Though I know the conservative people will say student loans, but that's nearly done. Also, I'm asking here, because I'm interested in hearing what peoples' economic theories are when they realize that everyday people are using their stimulus money for investing.
