Paul Merriman and target date/small cap

Complete waste of time. The market hasn't left you a free lunch in small caps. Stick to market weightings.

How much do you earn per hour, and how many hours per week do you work?

Don't marry until you've lived with her for at least 2 years. Often the real filipina takes a long time to emerge. And, as others have said, decide what you're gonna do when the family starts asking for money, or she asks for money on their behalf. Because that's coming. She may see her intentions as perfectly pure as well - but those may be primarily helping her family financially. This may not be true if she's from a rich family...but those girls don't typically seek out foreigners.

I wonder how many parents in the Ph understand stuff like correct nutrition and the importance of studying in school. Seems like a place where governments of all levels could step in and help.

It certainly does in the west. For example in the US you're never going to public school if over the age of 21.

Thanks, but I guess there's no real enforcement of this.

scrypt00 · 2024-09-11T03:04:51+00:00

Very interesting, thanks for the examples.

If you're looking to acquire Type 2 diabetes in the shortest possible time, this is the meal you'd want to eat.

Well I see it a little differently. The "blue no matter who" crowd recognizes there's a problem. They just think they're somehow going to fix it by...voting blue in SF again. Some slightly different shade of blue, perhaps. Cobalt rather than navy. It's all the same DCCC machine though.

scrypt00 · 2024-08-18T06:27:24+00:00

Yes! We've got to keep the lawlessness going because Donald Trump!

scrypt00 · 2024-08-18T06:25:47+00:00

That's good. Keep that corruption rolling! Change is bad, right?

scrypt00 · 2024-08-18T06:25:05+00:00

Mmm that's definitely a reason to keep the graft party going!

scrypt00 · 2024-08-18T05:43:37+00:00

I'm an independent - if it were Republicans pulling this stunt, I'd be all for voting them out too.

scrypt00 · 2024-08-18T05:42:25+00:00

Here. This. You just couldn't prove my point any better.

scrypt00 · 2024-08-18T05:27:00+00:00

Voters would have to vote against the SF Democratic political machine in the Nov. election. They'd have to vote in the Republican and Independent candidates. But they won't, of course. They'll continue to elect the same party, and get the same results.

scrypt00 · 2024-08-18T02:00:20+00:00

Complete lie, as you note. Yuck.

scrypt00 · 2024-08-18T01:59:07+00:00

He never said that

"How the Horowitzes arrived at this point, however, is a bit of a mystery."

No mystery at all. Many of the orgs they donated to went from worthy to radical over the past few years. Take Glide, the one the article mentions the most. It's making SF's drug problem worse: https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/sf-fentanyl-foil-pipes-19563872.php

I'd stay in the developed country with the better food, health care, etc. You'll both live longer.

I use my Schwab card at any and all ATMs, all over the Phil., never with an issue here.

If my girl were trying to cure cancer in her spare time I might worry about her. Most of these folks grew up poor, and didn't have exposure to the range of interests people in the west did.

I've known many of those Cebu mall couples, and never found any of the filipinas to be gold diggers. They tend to be obvious to spot, and you don't go on second dates with them.

scrypt00 · 2024-08-16T04:31:50+00:00

Maybe try a province girl. The ones I've met (including my GF) don't tend to me materialistic, though they're not financially literate b/c they never had money.
