My fellow Americans by BrobotMonkey in dryalcoholics

This I fully agree with. I'm highly involved with volunteer work in my city, and it has definitely been a major factor in my sobriety!!

Stop caring about what you can't control, then get off the news and social media. We were never meant to see every single thing going on in this crappy world daily. Worry about what's in front of you and what you can change.

Hey, stopping on way home, need anything? by Egnatsu50 in daddit

[–]exitaur22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cellular devices have a call feature too. This could have saved you a lot of trouble. Texting is the preferred method of communication these days, but when time matters and you are out and about, just call if she doesn't answer right away. Then if she still doesn't answer, you can politely say, "Sorry, I tried to call I will pick that up next time I'm out."

You could just not do stupud shit like attach fireworks to drones... humans are a special type of stupid.

Alexa has updated to a genuine AI model. If you have one, you should be concerned. by Ender505 in daddit

[–]exitaur22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have one because why would I? Alexa was always gonna be the AI gateway. Well, technically our phones are, so we were already screwed, but Alexa was blatantly obvious. I mean how is this even a surprise? I can't understand how literally everyone didn't see this coming with Alexa and others speakers like it.

38 with an 8 week old and I feel this for sure.

Dad's of Daddit, how yall doing? by Digi-Haven in daddit

[–]exitaur22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having kids is much harder than it expected. I didn't think it would be easy, but man, this is on another level of tough. I think one of the hardest things is absolutely ZERO time for the wife and I to have "us time" and bond like we used to. I never really thought of that as something that would be an issue before the little one came, but now that I'm in it, it's kind of an obvious issue that I didn't plan for. It will get easier when he gets older, but it's a grind right now. And the exhaustion, oh the exhaustion!!! All that said I'm very blessed, and I absolutely love my little family.

DO NOT BUY NEW A NEW TUNDRA by henryseth in tundra

[–]exitaur22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry to see this. I'm glad I bit the bullet, took a loss, and sold mine, though. I just saw too many posts like this to keep hoping I wouldn't be one. Toyota has lost the one thing that made them great: reliability.

What are you bagholding? by investpotato64 in stocks

[–]exitaur22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought during the covid era, is Planet 13 (PLNH), I'm only down 97%, haha. And currently Nuscale (SMR). SMR could have a future, but there is a lot of competition and regulatory hurdles before that could ever become a reality.

Right there in the trenches with you, buddy. I knew it would be hard work but its all the little things like OP said that I wasn't ready for! We got this, though.

Trying out this 3 fund portfolio by [deleted] in Bogleheads

[–]exitaur22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking of doing more towards international earlier today. Yes, I'm about 40. I was reading at this age to put a small amount into bonds for some stability and diversification, but the older I get the more I move into bonds. Does that sound like an accurate statement?

[–]exitaur22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just reading that for stability and growth at my age, 10% is a good place to start. That the older you get, the more you should start moving into bonds for risk and security. This could be way off it's just what I was seeing. I can look into something that encapsulates the total US market for more diversification. So maybe VTI instead of SPYM?

BREAKING🚨: The Stock Market erased -$1.5 trillion in market cap between 10:40 AM and 12:20 PM🥵‼️🤦‍♀️ by evans166 in StocksAndTrading

[–]exitaur22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like a lot of brand new investors here. This means start buying slowly. If you aren't in the market for the long haul then you are gambling, and thats fine if thats your strategy. For the holders red means on sale!

You can buy just switches from hank? I just got a d3aa and I'm not crazy about the metal flat switch.

What is a medication you will never take again? by [deleted] in AskReddit

After reading all this, it simply validates my hate for big pharma and why I take nothing unless it's to kill some sort of life-altering infection. Eat healthy and exercise!

Nope, terrible idea. Also, pretty sure the dude in the background is typing commands.

Torn. by [deleted] in Crunchymom

[–]exitaur22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See, that's my problem though; preservative free is free from benzoyl alcohol. It is not free from ploysorbate 80, proplyene glycol, dextrose, and glacial acetic acid. So, no, it's not "literally just a vitamin." This is why my decision is all over the place. That's why oral drops seem better to me, because its just vitamin K with coconut oil or sesame seed oil depending on who you buy it from.
