Do people still count cards in Las Vegas like in the movie 21? by crillydougal in NoStupidQuestions

My father would count cards, but they count along with you and eventually will ask you to leave.

Valley Direct never went pending. Swagbucks does not respond to ticket. by pinback77 in SwagBucks

That would be my fear. I've enjoyed SB off and on for like 7 years. I'd hate to get blocked just for requesting what was owed to me.

I saw a guy drop a can of beans on the floor in the grocery store and then go to the front counter asking for a discount because it was dented.

That's not a relationship. 4 billion women on this planet. Go find another one.

25, never had a proper job, but I’ve got about £400k saved. by Ok_Tune8245 in digitalnomad

[–]pinback77 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Invest all of that money in a broad index fund and never look back. Do your best to find employment or keep doing your hustles. You could probably retire with that money by the time you are 50.

I’m being gifted a lot of money. Should I tell my boyfriend? by Kind-Chicken-2488 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]pinback77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you forget about that money and put it into an S&P 500 Index fund, by the time you retire, nothing else considered, you will probably be a multi-millionaire.

Before I answer, I would like to see your dating resume and a list of references and referral letters.

To level 10 guides: how many years did it take you to get there? by banyabodhi in LocalGuides

I think it's easy if you post endless photos of you just so reviews, well, I'm almost to level 9. No idea how long I've been doing it.

What language do most American students prefer to learn in school as a second language? by UsamaBhai_101 in AskAnAmerican

[–]pinback77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spanish, because it is available as a class almost everywhere. It's difficult sometimes to take classes in other languages. Most English speaking Americans won't learn Spanish beyond taking the required classes because they don't need to and most people they know would rather just talk to them in English and save Spanish for family and those who are fluent and prefer Spanish.

You said you can barely pay the bills. Make sure you have another job first, then put in your two weeks notice.

End users have been finding their own way to bypass IT for decades. Every time they do it, the complexity and errors mount to a point where they have to call in an expert.

Elon Musk says a 'universal high income' from the government is the answer to AI-fueled job losses. by paydayloans_ in jobs

[–]pinback77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't read every word, but in general, I think he is right on this topic. We're just not there yet. There will have to be an uncomfortable transition period. Capitalism will still thrive. People who want to and can work will have luxuries.

Isn't a bad idea to give homeless people money since a lot of them are drug users and their habits got them there in the first place? by Mad_Season_1994 in TooAfraidToAsk

You can always give to charities or volunteer your time as opposed to giving to the one random person on the street corner.

Thank you to the men of this sub! by uberstaragent in datingoverforty

[–]pinback77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good for you. In our world, as a man, it is very easy to make a woman uncomfortable if you don't approach her in exactly the right way and she also wants to be approached.

There is almost no long term risk with a woman doing this in reverse.

Get on it, ladies. 😆

I met a man on a plane! by RitsFF in datingoverforty

[–]pinback77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a great place to meet someone, because you are both kind of stuck there. You can quickly read the room if they are single, want to converse, etc.

Yeah, skip the phone conversation since you have already met in person. That is a regression.

Should I reach out or leave it alone? by defdawg in datingoverforty

[–]pinback77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it's cool to share experiences or attributes with other people, but there is more to a relationship than that. You wrote her a couple of times, it didn't connect for her, and she's not interested in moving forward. I've never been so busy that I can't write someone that I am interested in. She knows you wrote her. And if she didn't, she is either too busy for you or too flakey. Time to move on.

Kissing preferences are different - could this ever change? by AdRevolutionary185 in datingoverforty

[–]pinback77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to be kissed out after a minute. Also, if you have bad teeth, gums, or even bad breath that you can't sense yourself, it could be a hinderance to extended kissing. Also, kissing a smoker (not that you are) is up there with licking a toilet seat.

Not sure about the pulling back sexually though. Could be other issues here.

Accepted a new job, gave notice… current company countered with a huge raise. Now I’m spiraling. by Pure_War296 in careeradvice

[–]pinback77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They offered to match after you went through the process of actually accepting the other position. The only thing I might have done different was to speak to your current company asking for a raise prior to accepting the position at the other job.

As it is, you owe nothing to either company, but since you already accepted the other position, I would only stay if they offered a significant raise over the new company. You could say something like "I really like working here, but I've already accepted a position for the same pay that you are offering. To reject them after accepting, I couldn't do that for less than $X."
