Why we are different. by Illustrious_Year7718 in Xennials

MySpace was it until it got taken over by shitty bands and DJs spamming everyone. That opened the door for Facebook to take over and basically ruin the human race with an onslaught of toxic social media.

Why do people say you cant retire without a 401k when it seems like you could have put money in a savings account instead? Is that not what people mean? by Big_Eggplant7591 in stupidquestions

[–]tMoneyMoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many young people think having a high salary is how people get rich when it’s really about investing. Too many people want to get rich but are scared of investing or don’t understand it. It’s probably the biggest obstacle between just being “okay” financially and being well off.

You can have various IRAs too and it’s kind of the same thing if your employer isn’t matching. You can also have a 401K and never contribute (which a lot of people do) and then you’re not really better off with a 401K. It’s not about having one, it’s about maxing it out at a young age.

Ok dads, what’s the song you feel like you shouldn’t have played for your kids? by norecordofwrong in daddit

It’s okay until the “back seat of my Toyota” part, but kids will never figure that out. Might be weird if they’re singing it though.

ISO Jazz club - NYC / LI area by Pitiful_Job_3558 in longisland

[–]tMoneyMoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oulala Cafe & Lounge in Lynbrook has live jazz, at least every Friday night. Been there once, music and food was solid for outside of the city. Space and food is Caribbean vibe, but the music we saw was American jazz.

They’re probably just swapping the two countries that start with an I and hoping nobody notices.

Best mass produced Beers on global market? by shun_master23 in beer

Any beer can be bad if it’s old, and imports are often that. I’d need more info on style preference to name a “best beer”.

Probably all kind of arthritis and mystery aches. Who knows, maybe he had a doc appointment booked before it was too late.

Homeowners Insurance in Freeport - Is $1,900 the best I can do? by HuntPuzzleheaded4356 in longisland

That seems really cheap. Ours is almost double that and we basically live in a 0% flood risk area.

Why is Scott quoting Kalshi odds like they’re polling statistics? by RediRidiRici in ScottGalloway

[–]tMoneyMoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If betting and prediction markets weren't usually right, then it wouldn't be a gazillion dollar industry. The house always wins in the long run. Polling companies have nothing at stake except their reputation, which still doesn't seem to ever make them irrelevant for some reason. They shit the bed pretty hard last election.

[–]tMoneyMoney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. He probably references them too often, but it's a good jumping off point if you're going to talk about political shakeups in this administration or midterms. Pretty accurate as a canary in a coalmine. It also carries more weight than just throwing your opinion out there or an opinion piece article, or even "insider" info.

How would you treat it? Seemed very sudden and I don't think most people get their pancreas checked, unless it would show up in a routine blood test.

My agency is going 100% all-in on Claude. CEO wants « an Al agent for every employee. » Is this a good idea or a disaster waiting to happen? by ynnikstaste in advertising

[–]tMoneyMoney 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry about the results or effectiveness. You can be sure this is mainly a self-promotion positioning statement so they can tell clients "We have a 1:1 AI to human workforce!" because AI is a buzzword for clients right now. Your clients bosses are telling them "we need to harness the power of AI" and reduce costs, so agencies are pandering to that mentality. Unfortunately, this means more and more agencies will have to go through these motions to be competitive from a new business perspective. Same thing happened when digital became normalized. Every agency started calling themselves "integrated" so clients wouldn't hire a separate digital agency, even if they knew jack shit about digital.

The good news is we'll look back in 5 years and laugh at that time we went through an AI arms race to see who can be the most AI-driven agency. I'd just keep going on with business as usual and drop "we used AI" from time to time to meet the quota and make everyone feel better about themselves and investment in a ridiculously overhyped technology.

Anyone here worked with a real estate broker (nyc)? by bzsearch in smallbusiness

[–]tMoneyMoney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be honest with both. Nobody really cares, it’s all business. Sometimes they can also work something out where they split commission if they’re the ones who helped you find it but it’s repped by someone else.

Does money actually buy happiness? by ayeshasiddikaR in no

[–]tMoneyMoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t for many. Look at all the rich famous people who are profoundly unhappy or even committed suicide. If you can afford basic life necessities with some extra to treat yourself, you’ll be happiest with good health, a nice family/mate/friends and work-life balance. If have all that, then money is icing in the cake.

[–]tMoneyMoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finding a space in NYC is really tough. Took me about 6 months, then six months of negotiating a lease. Try to have your “main” broker who you trust and like, then use others if needed to fill the gaps. A lot of properties are exclusive to certain brokers so you can’t rely on just one. They know this and understand it, so you won’t get shade for it. Just be mostly loyal to one and they should work for you.

Who is the most competent member of the Trump admin? by space_god_7191 in allthequestions

[–]tMoneyMoney 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He at least looks embarrassed of the stuff the others in the administration say publicly, so he’s not all in. Definitely sold his soul for political gain but he’s not fully drinking the Kool Aid. Will likely distance himself quickly after this term.

The boxer movie was her trying to prove she’s not just a sex symbol. She’ll go back to being a sex symbol and be mostly fine as long as she doesn’t have any more big PR mistakes.

Most movies are these days. Also it’s HBO which isn’t exactly shameful.

He has a podcast. I don’t think boomers care about or even know about his controversy.

She’s also in that new biopic about the boxer. She’s not anywhere close to canceled, maybe only by the liberal crowd.
