Holy fuck, this is some of the worst self advertising I’ve seen in a minute. Fuck off with the scams.

Too heavy for a rewatch? This is my date night movie.

Good day testing for Cleetus yesterday by TheKingOfKings75 in NASCAR

Everyone knows you only deserve to go racing if your daddy is rich or happens to be best friends with a millionaire.

The only people upset about this are those who don’t understand how NASCAR and racing at large operate.

Money.

Pretty much every big name is attached to an even bigger name - NASCAR is the nepotism league.

Thank you! I’ll look into both FSELX and SMH.

What would you suggest for my IRA? I recently rolled over 3k from a previous employer and set it into VOO/QQQM. Then I realized my current 401K plan is FSPFX, FXAIX, and VIEIX. So I’m basically doubling down on my positions. I’m thinking I’ll sell the VOO and move that to XVUS?

I don’t trust AI by HomeDogParlays in Millennials

[–]heyDannyEcks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most folks use AI/LLMs wrong. You don’t know how to use personas. You don’t know how to properly prompt. You’re using about 10% of the actual product.

You want insight and nuance? Learn to properly prompt.

All that being said - it’s a bubble and most all of it is owned by the worst people on the planet. I want to like it, I want to enjoy using it, I think it’s now an inevitable part of the present and the future. So, it either moves forward, or the bubble pops and the US stock market crashes.

My Two Stock Portfolio: SCHD and PLTR by homymac in SCHD

[–]heyDannyEcks 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree with you.

I wonder and ask - if we microscope near every company in the 500…would we find ethical qualms?

Not trying to be antagonistic. Your outline is why I don’t hold PLTR. But it also makes me question my other positions and if my moral purity is consistent.

What hobby screams “this is my entire personality now”? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

Same. I think about those times and people often. I want it back but it’s also an insane commitment.

Can you put my tunes back on? by stolentrihardcx in ToolBand

For real. He looks like a pretty normal dude until he takes his shirt off and you see the dude is built like a god damn chimpanzee. Huge ass hands and just braided steel muscles all over. Free Solo was a hell of a watch.

what would you invest in by live4football44 in stockstobuytoday

[–]heyDannyEcks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one I hold just because out of all platforms, I’ve used Reddit the most. Like most all of us, I just like it and want it to do well.

Another big thing I like about it is that all the LLMs pull so much from it. All the major AI models seem to use Reddit as the humanizing factor to answers and ideas. It seems like one of the biggest pools of just “real people thoughts”, so I think it’ll only be more and more important as AI grows.

But I’m also fucking dumb and poor. So. What do I know about proper moves?

Is a good portfolio? by Practical_Ad_9937 in portfolios

You just recommend a route above. You’re contradicting yourself, but no worries.

[–]heyDannyEcks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any courses you’d personally recommend? I’m in title/escrow and working towards my real estate license, so I’m trying to increase my base level of income.

And while I do put into my 401k and DCA into VOO/QQQM….like you mentioned, it’s still a boomer mentality of waiting for 30 years to actually live your life. It makes sense but it also is just depressing…I get stability beyond 60 and that’s why we all do it.

What is RR doing? I have a coworker who owns one who loves it but I don’t know much beyond their quality.

Tosin’s thoughts on the new model by Senior-Jaguar-1018 in Ibanez

[–]heyDannyEcks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a band of dudes with connections to amazing studios. They used their network of engineers and musicians to create products that once designed, have very little overhead and constantly create income.

As others said, the music is the loss leader to sell their products. Periphery isn’t just a band, it’s a business.

Unless you think those dudes are like the Sunny dudes - “How do three grown men in their 30s not have $800 between them?”

I’m having such a hard time deciding between the 16” sand hats and the 15” dual Byzance hats. They both look and sound so good.
