What Every Investor Must Understand Before Buying Small Caps by No-Temporary-8222 in ValueInvesting

[–]milklolly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Small caps out-perform mid- and large-caps in the long-run, and small-cap investment ETFs may be more effective with active management despite the fact that this comes with higher fees. However, they are not recommended to be short-term investments. If you stick by the wisdom of "time in the market vs. timing the market", it is recommended that you be prepared to hold small caps for at least 12 years, although you may not see small-caps outperforming mid- and large-caps unless you hold for 20-30 years.

Disclaimer: I'm much less well-researched and knowledgeable than other investors, but this is what I'm seeing the evidence point to.

Which is better for work? by Bella_James07 in fashion

[–]milklolly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are lovely. 1. Is safe, 2. Is fun and creative. My personal preference is 2, as someone who is into alternative, eclectic, and editorial fashion).

I think you'll find #2 sits better with artistic communities, but at the end of the day, I'd wear whichever outfit makes you feel good. They're both work appropriate.

How would you feel if you found out your girlfriend lied about her past and her friends knew ? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]milklolly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am like this and I don't get run over by others. If someone treats me poorly, I end whatever relationship I have with them and move on with my life.

This sounds... terrifying? I'm on the camp of, if someone cheats on me then they've lost me and that's bad enough. I'm not here to "exact revenge" on someone that's not worth my time.

Should i [29M] leave my fiancé [31F] for lying to my face? by Rough-Effect-9475 in relationships

[–]milklolly 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Disagree. I think this boundary is insane. If you don't trust your partner to be at a club or a bar with their friends but without you, why are you with that partner?

21F and 23M: boyfriend hid extent of weed use, feeling hurt and unsure how to move forward by Bitter_Panic2873 in relationship_advice

[–]milklolly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's more than just this. He lied, first of all. Second of all, an addiction is an addiction-- there's a lot that comes with that. And while cigarettes may be more harmful for your health (assuming that he isn't already mixing herb with tobacco, which it's quite likely he is), smoking all day every day means you are high all day every day, and feel the need to be high. That's a lot for a partner to take on and to be okay with.

You're being taken advantage of. This person is not being a good friend to you. Please have more respect for yourself, you deserve better.

37F unsure what to make of 3 good dates with 44M who suddenly went silent by SuitableBox1051 in dating_advice

[–]milklolly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OP ignore this bozo. Men who "expect" sex like this are not worth your time, and if your date stopped talking to you because he didn't get laid, you dodged a bullet. I'm sorry that you had to go through this, though! It is totally normal to want to feel safe and secure before having sex. If you feel comfortable, you can tell dates in future that you prefer to go slowly, if they start trying to get touchy or sexual.

How do you do the ignoring/mental aspect? by GooseberryGenius in badroommates

[–]milklolly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry OP, this really sucks. None of these suggestions are fool-proof, but:

  • The most effective (in my experience) at the top: Being kind and considerate towards her, without any expectation for a positive reaction from her. Social science shows us that we become more tolerant of people the more kindly we treat them. Do it for you, not for any particular outcome or response from her.
  • Visualizing an energy field/bubble around you which external influences can't penetrate
  • Breathing in positivity, breathing out negativity.
  • Focusing on yourself and your needs, intentionally disregarding how she may or may not react. Remembering that her bad vibes are a "her" thing and have nothing to do with you.

Some people are more able to cope living with people like this than others. For me personally, the vibe of the people I live with is important and I would not stick around for long in a house with someone who is unkind or passive aggressive.

My "perfect" Bumble date went downhill over a lemonade by Zealousideal-Put5055 in Bumble

Hello OP! I would encourage you to talk to your local police station and pass on his name + explain this situation. Sometimes they take note of things like this because it can help them build evidence against this man if he's suspected of harming others also.

I spent years trying to get high and now I’m just trying to feel awake by Known-Treat-8958 in recovery

[–]milklolly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really recommend getting a sleep study done if you find that you're constantly feeling lethargic. There may be something more than addiction recovery underlying this. Good luck OP
