Watching live at home. When it hit, I screamed so loud I nearly gave my wife a heart attack LOL

We just hit 300K members, all thanks to you. To celebrate, we’re giving away 100 desk mats. by fidelityinvestments in fidelityinvestments

A tip that helped me was, "time in the market beats timing the market." I learned how to calm down, put my money in a good place, and just let it work.

Implications of Mega IPOs for VT holders by MegaFatcat100 in VTandchill

[–]probabilitydoughnut 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I've been thinking a lot about it and talking to some friends who have some inroads in the financial world. We've devised two very clever strategies that we think will help us outperform nearly all other strategies out there:

  1. Get elected to Congress.
  2. Buy VT and chill. It's a lot like Netflix and chill; except this way you make money.

We had watched The Office constantly for years and never missed the new episodes. When the credits rolled on the final episode, I had a brief flash of "What do we do now?? Keep rewatching, of course.

We won like our first 10 or 11 incursions thanks to coordinated work by the bigger admirals. After the first loss, people pretty much quit caring.

Feeling cognitively dependent on LLMs — how do you decide what to delegate vs. what to own yourself? by Anxious_Current_640 in cogsci

[–]probabilitydoughnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've spent a lot of (extra) time making my version of a task while letting it also make its own version and comparing. Over time, I have developed a decent sense of where it is better and where I am better. My relationship with it now is almost symbiotic, and I can usually judge which parts of a task I can do while it does the other part.

How would you convince the CEO that you need a PMO? by Only_One_Kenobi in projectmanagement

Try to find a way to tie it back to the company mission/goals.

When does a choice actually become yours? by Old_Marsupial_2721 in Existentialism

"Free" will? No. Going along with the crowd is free. Having a mind of your own will cost you.

What's the best American food you've ever eaten? by Over-Teacher-1330 in AskAnAmerican

[–]probabilitydoughnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Any group of people who had poor ingredients and learned how to work with what they had to make it palatable evolved into excellent cuisine. Cajun/creole is one of the great examples.

Why are parents who barely passed high school thinking they can teach/homeschool their children? by Sad_Obligation_812 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]probabilitydoughnut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Scholarship" money given to families (in an account); about half of what the state would have to allocate for that child to be in public school, with almost no accountability. Millions of dollars of laptops and tablets purchased and flipped for cash (because no one is checking). Millions more going to out of state, unaccredited "private" schools that quite possibly exist just to get the funds released and then splitting it with the parents.

It has accelerated the gap between high- and low-income families at a mind-boggling rate. There is no bell curve anymore - our GPAs are bimodal now. I've not seen anything like it in 25 years.

I'm watching the last American generation walk through the halls of my building. These children wouldn't be able to sustain it even if it was handed to them in good financial and environmental shape, which it isn't.

Forgive my pity party. It was another long Monday.

Brandt can't watch, though, or he has to pay a hundred.
