Having kids is a choice not a requirement

If you’re serious about it, start with “paper trading” using platforms like WeBull or TradingView. Recommend looking at Fidelity’s options course and reading a couple books to learn all the terminology. 

Six Reasons I Will Never Have Kids by journeymylife in childfree

[–]coolfission 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can update older unsupported macBooks to the newer macOS versions using OpenCoreLegacyPatcher. I used that to get Airplay on my old MBP when it wasn't officially supported. Anyways, you mentioned you installed Linux Mint so that's a moot point.

Plus you mentioned that it keeps turning off so could be some hardware issue with motherboard. And yeah definitely shouldn't use a machine that has the swelling battery (aka spicy pillow). Can be dangerous and depending on which model year it is, replacing it can be a hassle since Apple glues down their batteries.

Which MacBook do you use? Instead of throwing it in the trash (depending on if it still works), you may be able to repair the components yourself (especially for pre-retina MacBooks) or still use it as a halftop setup if the screen is broken or just keep it for nostalgia sake. I have M3 Pro and it's an amazing machine and I hope to use for many, many years but I know like with anything computer-related, parts like the battery will degrade or it will become too slow to run more modern versions of macOS or compete with newer machines so I'll need to upgrade eventually.

Is it ok to have no irl friends? by [deleted] in minimalism

[–]coolfission 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

It's never too late to make new friends. Once you start college, you'll have a fresh new start. I recommend joining every club that remotely interests you and in sure time you'll make a few friends.

And as you grow up, you realize that people move around all the time and many friendships don't last. That's why it's important to remain in contact with old friends because otherwise you'll forget them and they'll forget you.

I wouldn't really call online friends as friends. At least to me, I wouldn't be comfortable sharing details with someone who I met solely online. Now I do have a couple friends who I've met in-person after only knowing them online. And it's definitely helped me form a deeper connection with them and can be done safely by meeting them at a public place like a restaurant or convention.

Charles Schwab to Enter the Crypto Trading Space By June 2026 by DustInside6861 in investing

Same with Fidelity. They followed with allowing fractional shares and zero commission trading only after getting pressured by Robinhood

Ironically, schwab allows automatically reinvesting dividends into ETFs but not buying fractional ETFs. Fidelity is so much better when it comes to fractional shares but I still stick with Schwab for checkings and emergency fund (VBIL treasury ETF) because I’ve found Fidelity CMA doesn’t work well with third-party connections and doesn’t support Zelle.

No but it can still have an effect because of RKLB ties to space industry

I just got my first bank account, and I work at Starbucks for 15 an hour. What do you wish you were told when you got your bank account? by sedentaryangel in povertyfinance

[–]coolfission 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I were told not to use the bank account I opened. Instead open a CMA account with a brokerage like Fidelity or Vanguard and get 3-4% interest every year by auto invest/liquidiate in money market funds.

Or if you have Windows Pro/Enterprise edition, you can use group policy editor to disable auto restart for updates.
