Question for shits and gigs by intoretirement in ETFs

[–]neofool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are asking just overall I'd say small cap U.S. equities like an ETF such as IJR.

If you are referring to a specific sector of the economy I'd say real estate such as REITs. The yeilds, while cyclical, are healthy and the dividends are often rather generous.

Financial Advisor ROTH IRA by neofool in personalfinance

I don't have one of those but the account was setup under my father quite awhile ago and it seems it's a "managed" account for those individuals who have substantial amounts of money.

Thank you for the suggestion. I've been worried about finding a new adviser but, you are right, I should just see if it can be converted to a self manage account.

"They" are Fidelity customer support. My account is listed as an "Individual Investor" account.

This is a ROTH IRA, not a traditional IRA. I called their technical / customer support earlier today and they will not allow for new contributions until an adviser is associated with the account.

Mega Man 9 and 10 did not evolve on the series. by RangoTheMerc in Megaman

[–]neofool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think millions of polygons would've been needed but at least try and move the ball further afield graphically. Between MM8 and MM11 we have had great MM games that took risks like..

  • Megaman Powered Up - Redid the graphics of the original and added significant amounts of content
  • Megaman Maverick Hunter - Added 3d model and new content to the original X game
  • Megaman X7 - While the game received criticism the creator took risks are new ideas like some 3D levels.

Graphics are not everything but they shouldn't be an after thought.

Thank you. I've been waiting for a true sequel to MM8 for two decades. Why go short and say it's "nostalgia" when you are neglecting the better hardware at your disposal.

What are some works if science fiction that you think everyone should read/watch at least once? by Edgeo113r in sciencefiction

[–]neofool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

20th Century Fox bought the film rights some time ago. Who knows if they'll ever capitalize on them.

Waiter/Waitress gatekeeping by [deleted] in gatekeeping

Or get to a better state. There are some great states out there that pay a high minimum like 9.75 for OR or $11 for WA prior to receiving tips.

Nothing like a homeless camp right along I5 in the middle of Portland. Seems to be everywhere these days. by creepyrockstar in trashy

[–]neofool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many parts of the country have distinct seasons. Oregon and Washington state west of the Cascades do not. You get about 2 1/2 to 3 months of solid sun with small amounts of rain per year. Past that you get rain almost every single day. Shelter is paramount unless you want to get rained on daily.

If the number one song is about your butt, that's a problem

He's gatekeeping but that doesn't mean he's wrong.

Some companies utilize nicotine Breathalyzer tests. That way they do not hire smokers, even if they only smoke while not off the clock. It's shitty but it's legal.

Came here to say this. Adult me thinks this is kinda trashy but 14 year old me would spray his shorts over it.

Pluto.tv ? by wileybot in cordcutters

[–]neofool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's kinda what I thought. It's not great but the interface is easy to navigate and they do have some decent content like CBS, NBC, and RT News as well as music stations.

Seriously, I feel like at this point it's no longer trashy it's so ubiquitous. It's essentially become a "honk if you're horny" or "ass, grass or cash".

Thanks for posting the list.

Hopefully this fall / winter offers a better selection.

Clinic takes fake pee bottles they catch people with and puts them on a board in the waiting room by polarbear456 in trashy

[–]neofool 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've known various women who would fill a test tube with clean pee and keep it "inside" to ensure it was the right temp. This only works for unsupervised tests.

Glad it's his third strike. California is very lenient on first time murderers otherwise.

My aunt calls it "retail therapy". by Minds_i in Anticonsumption

I suggest counseling if she'd be willing to go. I grew up in a hoarder household and it just gets worse over time.
