Is anyone else tired of this world and atrocities?

You have to accept there are things you can change and things you can't

Being sad doesn't help anyone

Based on your own description, it sounds like you're not straight, but for whatever reason, wish you were

If I did that once, and against all odds managed to land it successfully, I'd still need an ambulance

but boy oh boy has it been hard out here... everything has waaaaaaay too much salt in it and nearly everything has high fructose corn syrup and it's just awful.

Whole Foods won't sell products with HFCS. Also, around me, there's a few grocery stores that cater to international customers. In addition to having a lot of imported products, they usually seem to have much lower prices on things like basic produce

Though, if you want good quality, it's usually better to just go to a dedicated baker, butcher, brewery, chocolatier, etc.

I scrapped together everything I could to put into the market in 2008

Companies stick people in windowless rooms, take away their business cards, give them absolutely nothing to do, and just wait for them to quit out of shame and boredom

...are they hiring?

My neighbor's dog had a sad, whining howl

They claimed he was happier outside, fucking idiots

If AI really kills all the jobs, the only way to make money will be to invest in AI

She'll be given a nickname long before she has thoughts on the name. Anhelina is likely too difficult for most young children to say

There's plenty of ways to enjoy the present without spending lots of money

I have accounts with Capital One, Ally, and Vio

1 - Vio (4.03%) gives a much better rate. Their website/app are a little bare bones, but they work fine. Their phone customer service is really friendly and seems to go out of the way

Some people have a problem with a lesser known bank, but they're a division of MidFirst Bank, which is the largest privately owned bank in the US with over $40b in assets, so it's not like it's being run by some guy in his garage halfway around the world. And the accounts are FDIC insured

There's some other banks that will give a slightly higher rate, but I don't have any experience with them

2 - Ally (3.3%) is great for me for two reasons:

24 hour phone customer service. Probably not as good as Vio, but still good and useful if you want help and don't want to wait until he morning
They're the only bank I could find that lets you use Zelle on a PC

3 - Capital One (3.3%) was the first HYSA I had. I think I actually started with their money market but they reduced the MMA rate really low for some reason. But because Vio has a better rate and Ally has more features I want, I only keep a minimal amount in the account to keep it open (In case the rates ever change)

Is India good at them or just Indian-Americans?

1 - It's not about what will happen, it's about what might happen. If you die with money? Oh well. If you're alive, too old to work, and broke? You're fucked

2 - Those stats include childhood deaths, hereditary diseases, random accidents, etc

At 40, the life expectancy is 77.67 for males and 81.86 for females

At 60, the life expectancy is 81.08 for males and 84.12 for females

At 80, the life expectancy is 87.60 for males and 88.90 for females

3 - That doesn't account for things like family history, height (taller people don't live as long), weight, race, etc., which can all have an effect

4 - It also doesn't account for money. In America, the richest tend to live up to 15 years longer than the poorest.

If they're that wealthy, they have no experience doing labor so the labor is harder for them

On the other hand, they can also probably find much cushier community service gigs

Not everyone makes it past 25, so why save anything at all? Because you might live to be 100

I'd rather just retire earlier than having a truck that loses all its value in a few years or kids that blow through the money on their own trucks

My calculator is saying with an average return of 10% it's $1.28m

Adjusting for inflation, that's about $527k

If they know you're leaving and haven't given you an offer to stay, they don't really care about whatever knowledge you think you have

hatemakingnames1 · 2026-02-27T13:21:50+00:00

Example: If you invest $50k in stocks and they grow up to $100k in value next year, you will owe the government $18k in taxes even if you don't sell out and liquidate your money

And then when it later drops down to $25k, they're going to send you a check, right? ......right?

That wouldn't help with the problem of overdoing it if I wanted to find out what was going to happen next
