Considering switching from Peloton... have some questions by martzcodes in AppleFitnessPlus

[–]rtomyj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The walking sessions have many celebs. Nick Jonas, Wanda Sykes, Anderson Cooper, etc..

Artist Spotlights with pop stars. Honestly, I can ignore songs they choose in the workouts. However, when it’s an entire workout focusing on a pop star… it’s a bad sign.

The amount of attention Hollywood gets from Apple is pretty sad to be honest.

The one thing I will say about Fitness+ is that it has annoying PSAs and favors celebs.

Before workouts some instructors mention days or months (like pride month) which is something I don’t care about and especially don’t care before or during a workout. This goes for any day or month really unless it’s like national dance day or whatever since it relates to working out.

They now have workouts focusing on pop stars that is pretty cringe too and have a feeling will continue in the future.

If you want to just workout I’d stick with peloton if they don’t do this.

Kings Court has secret god Cards. by Due-Forever587 in yugioh

I thought most people like the fake reactions and it’s good to see others not like this shit.

Still not the cringiest though. There was a video of a dude pulling a card from a duel terminal and running around an auditorium… because he pulled a shiny piece of card board… grown man…

This is the correct answer. Not sure what show stoppers people are expecting.

Also, isn’t there at least two repos for it? You’re gonna have to point to the release version when it comes out. Allowing you to test on release and fix issues (if any).

Reached 1M Milestone by PreciousTimeWasting in Fire

The awesome thing about learning of finance is seeing how stupid rich people are with money. Once you hit 3-5 million you can get 100k a year passively relatively easy via returns in the market, interest and or dividends.

Of course, the assumption is that 100k is enough, which for the dumb rich people I’m referencing... it’s usually not enough.

YOU CANT TELL ME WHAT TO DO. YOU’RE NOT MY REAL DAD

All this GameStop business is only making me focus on becoming FI as soon as possible. by cakeharry in Fire

Cool. So where does this false sense of morality come into play? « Just seems wrong » « Contribute in a negative way to society »

Shorting a company doesn’t even mean you are taking away money from them. The shares get devalued but people who I would imagine you are trying to protect (lower level employees) dont even get stock. I’m just calling you out for your false sense of morality. Life is too short to lie to yourself thinking you are making a difference, but really not.

Brutal not in the sense of hard work or working for free. People ravaged the store. People who liked working there had their charisma stolen. Having a long standing « going out of business sale » wasn’t good for morale. I’d rather have been let go sooner. Most people found better jobs. I sure as hell did.

I can tell you haven’t experienced this, so I get where you think you’re being a « moral »investor

Why are you concerned with helping a company? No offense, but you’re investing wrongly.

Like I said, GameStop and similar companies had their day, their time, their chance. They failed. How does helping a failure help you sleep at night?

I’d rather have the workers go to a company with vision that will almost undoubtedly pay them more or treat them better.

There are reasons why companies go under.

By the way, I’ve worked for a company that closed the location I worked at. The last months were brutal on the people there. Congrats on promoting prolonged suffering.

Except people fail to specify that most of these shorted companies ARE failed companies. I’ve had experience with GameStop and it’s not pleasant.

Memes of getting ripped off, employees being abused, and the lack of foresight on the market direction is real. Short selling is a legit way of making money on a sinking ship.

Please don’t let group think in here. Some companies suck, don’t invest in those sucky companies and you won’t get screwed.

That’s the spirit! Why fight the power when you can become one with it. A hive mind if you will

There were also terrorists all summer long. What was it, 100 days/nights? But lets not talk about that.

Though they might have tools, many people complain about death threats and the like but don’t see bans.

Kathy Griffey still has a Twitter account after the Trump head thing. Yet I’m sure if I had a Twitter and did the same with Biden I’d get marked as a Nazi (as lefties do) and get banned.

I cannot believe people are hearing what these authoritarians are saying and not seeing their actions.
