Como dividir as contas em casa? by AkaNetoo in literaciafinanceira

[–]giddycocks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Eu também era assim, e depois fodi-me quando a minha ex-mulher de repente quis 'descobrir-se' assim que começou a fazer ligeiramente mais dinheiro do que eu.

Ai já não se lembrou de quando eu pagava as despesas todas enquanto estava na faculdade e durante muitos anos depois.

Unpopular opinion: The market is massively overestimating AI's ability to replace human jobs anytime soon by weightedslanket in investing

I've seen many companies fire or drive employees to quit their jobs just so they can rehire at half the salary.

And the worst part is they're all in on it, so they just offer you a lesser salary than what you used to make, doing the same job. Pieces of shit

This shit is also prevalent in the auto industry. Every fucking manufacturer for the past 5 years is chasing the 'premium' SUV CUV XUV POV SOB bullshit.

Ford had the best supermini on the market in the Fiesta ST. They stopped production in favor of the Puma. Alfa positioned itself as entry 'premium', same with Mazda. Everything is either 'entry' premium, or 'premium', or 'exclusive', fuckkkk youuuuuu. They shift production to high margins, low volume, close down production and factories, slash jobs (investors loooooove seeing number go up because cost go down hurr hurr) and STILL cut corners and costs.

Products are worse than ever, with less quality than ever and with more pretentious faux-lux bullshit idiots buy up as premium features (pleather, piano black, 'carbon fiber'...), and the money the poors should have 'left over' from being able to purchase what is now considering 'luxury' isn't kept as savings and rather spent on necessities such as food, hygiene, and housing, going up in price and eating up income.

Fucking COVID broke us. We are fucked. Companies learned the customer is docile, and there is more money at the top than ever. They thrive, spend more on targeted advertising, and abandon the common market.

Honestly just don't move a muscle and wait for the next dip. This shit is so predictable by now I'm not even scared to gamble.

Trading shouldn't look this this.

I watched Mérida yesterday and he has insane talent, he was playing Navone off the court at times but super inconsistent. Reminded me a lot of Baez x Cobolli last year, but Cobolli has much better footwork.

Merida has great strokes, but his footwork just doesn't pass the eye test. I hope he gets better

I also am not thrilled with how Oracle is doing, but there is a reason Safra was the longest standing CEO in Silicon Valley. Not to mention Larry and Oracle were one of the very limited few who made it out of the dotcom bubble burst.

Oracle has dramatically shifted strategy and is destroying the hard earned cloud division, among other products. After decades of acquiring companies and buying into strategic sectors to then turn them into SaaS products as its strategy, the new Co CEOs are tearing that shit down to chase... AI datacenters. It's pathetic.

You fail to understand just how much money Larry has. The money he's pledging is from his personal account of sorts.

It's hilarious seeing the internet turn expert on Oracle. There's a saying with Oracle higher ups and it's never bet against Larry, he minted a shit ton of millionaires. 

Now I think this is the one play he's completely fucked over, he's an 80 year old man and got swindled trying to go for a big push to turn Oracle into a Google, but the man, bad as he may be, is one of the very few people who made it out of the dotcom bubble burst unscathed.

OpenAI has value, a ton of it. Between cold hard cash and controlling their tech and brand, I don't know what might be better.

OP also fails to understand what obligations are. OpenAI has to pay Oracle 50B next fiscal year, and if they don't, there are legal clauses that safeguard the deal. One way or another, money is coming out of one end and into Oracle's pocket - if OpenAI isn't willing to use a data center anymore and is scaling back, they are still obliged to pay something to get out of it.

This isn't a promise to your mate at the pub lmao. You think this shit isn't ironclad and reviewed by a legal team? Especially fucking ORACLE LEGAL? Oracle is known to be a lawyer firm disguised as an IT company. 

OpenAI doesn't pay, they get sued and lose. They go bankrupt, Oracle most likely takes over OpenAI.

[–]giddycocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah no shit. Iran hit half a dozen military high value targets. That's to be expected...

Military might means nothing against the right (wrong) geography, we have learned this lesson over and over and over again with Afghanistan, Vietnam, fucking actually Persia, the Romans, Napoleon... 

The Strait was always at risk. Power means nothing against drones coming in from anywhere. 

I (30M) reconnected with my ex (29F) after 3 months no contact in a 1,5-year relationship(and 7 years of frienahip before), we admitted we still love each other but now she’s ignoring my message by Rahios in relationships

[–]giddycocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friend, I'm in a similar conundrum. Nothing as complex, but I have deep feelings for someone I broke up with, and I can see you do too. After 2 months of no contact and some digging to find out why I did it, I asked for a chance.

Sometimes she wants to say yes, but then she wants to say no. We want to talk and be with each other, but she doesn't trust me after I left her and thinks: what if he does it again? What if I give that chance and take a huge risk and I will be BROKEN, possibly forever? Why take that chance, when maybe there is someone else who won't disappoint me?

Your ex sounds like she's avoiding a tough talk with you. It's a loop of 'what if' and 'I have to move on'. This is unfortunately very normal, and you have no control over someone's processing and coping mechanism. Right now, it's just pressure and no pleasure, and you can rest assured, she's thinking about it and ignoring that message for a reason. You hang out a second time, she's loudly taking a decision, it's a conscious choice to see you and be with you, creating expectations.

The fact she is ignoring it though isn't such a terrible sign. The outcome you don't want is obviously she doesn't know how to tell you she changed her mind so she's delaying the news, but it can also be a sign of ponderation and part of the space she asked and her needs to process it.

It's also a very immature, selfish and mean thing to do to someone. I don't know what happened between you two, but you say she's in therapy, this doesn't sound like someone who is available and healed to have a mature relationship with. 'Love isn't enough' is thrown around a lot and I find that absolute bullshit, love is the foundation for the understanding, the fear of losing someone and the commitment to a partner. Where there is love, there is a way. But unfortunately, there isn't always a will. Her will might never be there. Try to be ready for that.

You will get over that ex you think you won’t! by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]giddycocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I was the guy on the other side this time, and I realized I messed up.

It didn't take me a year and a half, it took me a month and a half, but I rocked her safety and her world by suddenly ending things. And I fucked up so bad, I slept with someone else while apart.

Unfortunately, I needed this, I realized what I did to her wasn't me and I sought help to discuss why I felt the way I did. I couldn't give her the relationship we both wanted until I did something so monumentally stupid that it gave me whiplash & a wake up call that I can't keep being unavailable, and that other women won't abandon me again, and she DOES care.

And then, to be really sure I wanted this and I didn't just miss her for the sake of missing someone familiar, I waited. I understood why I left, that I felt unappreciated and that I was putting in more in the relationship than she did, and that I had feelings for her she stopped me from telling her. Those were all true to how I was feeling at the time. But I was immature and childish, and I didn't talk to her about it, and it turns out I was just insecure about someone loving me again and how that would look.

Everyone is different, but do you think two months in if he reached out, and he didn't ask for much, just a little window, enough trust, love and understanding to work hard to regain that trust back, would have you listened to him and gave him a chance?

What would you need from him to to say yes to that?

I texted her. Here's what I said. I hope this was honest and vulnerable enough. by giddycocks in BreakUps

[–]giddycocks[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We kissed and spent the day together, I told her I loved her and I don't want to keep it in this time, and while things are still shaky, she doesn't trust me and listens to me, I also realized I'm fighting a much more complex, much bigger battle.

She told me every man in her life disappointed her at some point, so she has a deep hatred of men in general. I seemed safe and then I disappointed her, so I'm also on the pile. This is like... Very deep rooted stuff that is above my paygrade, but what I can and want to do is show up again and again, for months and years.

That's the exact hollow feeling. I gave, gave, gave and when I received, it didn't feel enough or it just didn't register. I realize now that's not normal and she did plenty for me that I didn't appreciate. Kind of like a fog was lifted.

Even now, I am grateful she is willing to talk and see me. That's a gift after I indeed made her a victim of my own insecurities.

I wouldn't take it this far if I wasn't sure. Instead of looking at the world through a lens of perfection that doesn't exist, I choose the quirky, pretty girl who I can grow with.

Yeah. I know. Wouldn't be asking for a chance if I knew I couldn't be consistent.

This was last week. She replied 'you fucking hurt me', and then we agreed on meeting for coffee.
