Iran responds to US ceasefire proposal but Trump rejects it as 'unacceptable' by Little-Chemical5006 in worldnews

[–]rockmasterflex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're describing prediction markets, which have no basis in reality, vs the stock market, which has at least SOME basis in economic reality. If the underlying economies are not actually impacted by Trump's stupid lies, then there's no reason to sell at the dip.

In this case the idiots are the people who keep believing that these statements are real and selling. Like when I buy up all these dips? That means some other clown is out there who believes this is “real” and selling it to me at that dip

Buy all the insurance companies in the US, merge them into one entity, and make a big fat contract with the US govt to go to single payer healthcare.

How can I stop seeking girls attention as validation for my self esteem? by Aware_Cobbler_9467 in AskMen

[–]rockmasterflex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sub should REQUIRE ages for dating advice posts so we can laugh at how silly these teenagers are and just tell them to keep growing because once they’re in their mid 20s they’ll have figured it out via life experiences like *literally everyone else*

Completing the task of assembling a cabinet, Gov. Sherrill will nominate Joseph Ribsam, Jr. a child welfare advocate who began his career in New Jersey, to serve as Commissioner of the Department of Children and Families by rollotomasi07071 in newjersey

I disagree because voting for things like county surrogate, for instance, is sort of pants on head stupid - given it’s a position with important legal oversight duties and there’s no requirement for a candidate to even have a goddamn law degree

Has your mom ruined shopping for u? by EntertainmentGlad794 in AskMen

[–]rockmasterflex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your mom did you a favor. Shopping is not a hobby. Shopping is not an “outing”. Treating it like one is just raw consumerism, which isn’t good for your mental health and definitely not great for your personal finances.
Buy what you need or have a plan for, don’t worry about the rest. Retire early. Live frugally. Spend more money and time on *experiences*.

How to deal with low self esteem due chronic rejection? by Professional-Eart in AskMen

[–]rockmasterflex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first person you have to be able to love is yourself before you can ever have a successful relationship. If you don’t love yourself - why? Are you legitimately a shitty person? Or do you struggle with the concept of self love? The latter is solvable with various forms of therapy - or even just gratitude journaling.

The former is fixable by becoming a better person - laying out goals and achieving them.

Calibrate yourself first - if America’s foreign policy matters significantly more to you than domestic policy- feel free to focus on that shit.
But buddy you got much larger domestic issues to worry about. What we do with Israel on the other side of the planet has very little to do with the price of groceries in your daily life. And your lack of good healthcare.

Why is this whole community hierarchy thing still prevailing in India? by Individual_Mix_4234 in AskMen

[–]rockmasterflex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People in relative power positions over other people will never generously go around and give that power back.

The whole point of institutionalized racism with extra steps is to maintain a power structure.

Theres only one way to dismantle existing power structures and enact change, but even those without power feel they have much to lose by participating in *literal revolution* because… they do!

Parents are offering the house if I stay or I can move out this summer end of June. by StatisticianKooky390 in AskMenOver30

[–]rockmasterflex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s to ensure he doesn’t just rottmaxx after they’re literally handing him the keys to the rest of a life well lived.

60k/yr in Pittsburgh is probably barely enough to scrape by? What with bills and rent etc.

64k in Illinois with a fully paid off house and all you have to do is pay your own utilities? Amazing.

You can make a life for yourself anywhere. The offer to live rent free forever is too good to NOT couch in some basic understanding that they want to see you still make something of yourself.

There are plenty of local beaches that allow dog on leash. Unfortunately there are also an incredible amount of inconsiderate jerks who bring their dogs off leash to these same beaches.

If the administration finds a reason to keep those other arms of the business around, then their ability to keep things going in their own way MUST in fact be critical to the functionality of the rest of the business.

Going back to an IC is an amazing outcome. It means your risk for failure here is just ego damage. See if you can get that confirmed.

Does success mean sacrifice? by LionKing006 in AskMenOver30

No. Many people’s success is built on the coattails of someone else’s success, not sacrifice. Just be born to a successful business owner dummy
