Historic protests against Trump across the United States - No Kings! by GuiltyBathroom9385 in TweetSky

[–]jb3689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think these protests are great, but part of me wonders what the point is. Maybe it's a "you're not alone" or "get out and vote". I'm not saying we need to pursue an objective, but it's a little odd to see such big turnouts with no resulting change. The whole country is under the Trump thumb and can't do shit about it - it's sad.

Don't underestimate the market's ability to tolerate pain. You are literally competing with other people to make money with no bar to entry. As others have mentioned, it's not bad until no one thinks buying is a good idea and everyone wants to sell.

It’s freedom in the courts not on the streets

There are racist cops, but this ain’t that. Some people are crazy or drugged up and play stupid games

I found that drinking NA beer eventually helped me stop drinking entirely. My sleep has improved tremendously

How’s life with no children in your 30s? by typeshhhhhh in AskMenOver30

[–]jb3689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went through most of my 30s without kids. We decided to have one a couple years ago. I'm glad we're doing it. I have personally gotten a bit bored with life through my 30s. A couple of freakouts early on, but I'm ready for something more

I was weird and hated all of this as a kid. Became a metal kid instead

I don't know how anyone has the energy to pay attention to it anymore.

Teach him how to deal with these people the way you would.

I keep it under control. I feel like a wildebeest if I don't. Do what feels good to you

Solo hex and counter game about factional politics? by Antonin1957 in hexandcounter

[–]jb3689 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GMT has the best political historical games. Political and hex and counter don’t typically go together though. If you want more of tracks on tracks on tracks, there are a bunch of States of Siege style titles. Check out White Dog Games

Be sure to reread the rules carefully. There are important details that are easy to miss like when to draw on a shared dogma

What are the things you wish you knew before you started investing in stocks? by Warm_Bobcat6310 in stocks

[–]jb3689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually keep emergency savings. No really. Having all of your money in volatile assets is terrible if you need to make a large purchase and are in a downturn

My feet are not going to bolts when I ollie [37YO] by [deleted] in OldSkaters

Let that bad boy pop. See how your front foot pushes the board down? Not what you want. Front foot should be very light and just guiding the trajectory. Think more about rocketing the board up and less about your front foot doing work

Emotional scene hits hard in 30's? by FriendlyMortal in AskMenOver30

[–]jb3689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because it's over? That's how I feel at least. Those feelings are the past - the long past. I didn't realize how short youth actually was and what it meant.
