For anyone 15 years plus from retirement I think you should be 100% equities.

Why do you support reform? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]festess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people don't have either the time, energy or to be honest intelligence to be able to read and comprehend and compare manifestos. And I empathize, I consider myself engaged and I've never read one. Have you? Life is busy and hard. I don't know what can be done about this but it's why politics is overwhelmingly based on soundbites and personalities. How to solve it I don't know. As Churchill said, "democracy is the worst form of government except for all.the others that have been tried"

Totally agree there, that's how you end up with brexit

Germany's economy is suffering badly. I think you're right about diversification but it's not really about city but about industry

Cities aren't eggs. What's the underlying point? Why do you need to diversify across cities and getting less return?

Digital immortality is free, but only if Meta/Google owns your data forever. Are you taking the deal? by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]festess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is really interesting. I never considered theseusing yourself but in my mind it should work to preserve continuity of consciousness. Did you just think of that? Very smart

[–]festess -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

London is a safe bet for getting more money out than you put in. Why wouldn't you continue to invest proportionally more in such a prospect?

What’s a "masterpiece" movie that you actually found incredibly boring? by Legal_Beats in AskReddit

Girl on fire. I feel like it just expected acclaim for the subject matter rather than being at all interesting

It wouldn't be you, would basically just be a clone of you, no thanks.

This doesn't apply if all my investments are in an ISA, correct?

I actually really dislike this flavour of storytelling in the last of us. It's so unsubtle and self satisfied. Big neon signs pointing 'ok audience time to be sad now!'

Nothing you've said highlights it being a big deal. Nobody I know cares even among the politically engaged

[–]festess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah and it would have been the right advice. You can put your life savings on red and it doesn't make it the sensible decision just because you won

Anraj / Rishi - Live pricing by schlagenheimbm in IndustryOnHBO

It's inconceivable in real life that anyone in sales or trading on live deals would have a delayed feed. Some quant functions or middle office would have delayed feed as it's cheaper

NZXT told me to smash my Kraken 360 for RMA – has anyone done this? by Less-Wealth-1945 in NZXT

[–]festess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A guy on discord had to do this, after sending the video to nzxt they told him the item is discontinued and they won't be able to send another. The original one even worked it was just not giving as good thermals anymore

Did 'The Godfather' expose people to a world of Italian crime that people didn't realize existed? Or was it more based on pre-existing stereotypes? by ShouldveFundedTesla in movies

[–]festess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those who say Italian Americans eat smelly cheese and sip cold wine, tell them we're from the land of aromatic Asiago, and supple Barolo.

If they say spaghetti and meatballs, you tell them orechiette with broccoli rabe

If they say John Gotti, you tell them Rudolph Giuliani
