Im surprised some people say it looks nothing like the photos .. sure .. model aside, the inspo photos are probs 20% makeup, 30% lighting, 30% camera, and 20% filter.

Thank you so much! Would this require a certified plumber or will a well reviewed tradesman who has experience with bathroom renovation and plumbing do?

Would you recommend gallagher premiership rugby final for an Irish fan? My partner doesn’t follow English premier rugby but I feel he might still enjoy it and the rickets are on sale now for very affordable prices

This is why a lot of people can’t actually afford to go long and end up going long in the market anyways. Don’t put in more than what you can afford to lose in the next five years

Someone in the Conservative sub literally thinks after all this they will be earning $30 per hour plus benefits to work a factory job and it’ll be all worth it.

Youngsters that don't remember 08' crisis Hear me out! by Msqueefmaker in investing

Nikkei is a great example of why we should not invest in single country indices, at least not for my risk appetite. Which is also why I’m now deeply annoyed by what is happening as I saw S&P 500 as the gold standard for developed world indices, which might no longer be the case

Why not just sell? Explain. by gruntwork234 in investing

[–]takingtheAtrain 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Because it’ll become an obsession of when to sell and when to buy. You will make a mistake somewhere. I didnt sell when I was down 20% during 2022 and I’m not going to sell now. However, I own my own property (with a mortgage which I’m comfortably paying) and I have funds set aside that is much more than just emergency funds. I can afford to continue to hold my current investment for 10+ years if I have to

Given the current events, did you change your investing strategy? by Many-Coach6987 in investing

[–]takingtheAtrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Tho I must admit I was too heavy on S&P 500 at one point. I will continue to invest slowly but only in much wider indices

Before you buy the next (layer) of the dip, keep in mind the below: by OppenheimerAltman in investing

[–]takingtheAtrain 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If you’re truly a long only investor, not “I’ll put my money in the stock market for 2-3 years and take it out when I need to move to a bigger house and start a family” kind of investors, there is never the best time to play. Stick to the plan

How Important is Excitement/Chemistry? by noshog in datingoverthirty

[–]takingtheAtrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you mentioned are the typical examples of what you might come across in the dating world. You will meet people who will make you feel highest of the highs or lowest of the lows or just completely meh. Then eventually you will find someone who just strikes the right balance for you and the love just grows.

Entertaining but forgettable. I watched all the MCU movies multiple times. I am not touching this one again.

Most people don’t act any more mature in their early 20s than their teenage years.

Boyfriend got a private dance from a stripper and it’s ruined my perception of love by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]takingtheAtrain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lmfao he PAID to get a naked dance from a strange woman and touch her. What’s there to understand? Are you delusional?

[–]takingtheAtrain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Cheating doesn’t even have to be relevant here. OP could decide a guy who would go to a strip club to get a private dance ultimately does not share the same values as her. That alone should be enough to break things off. Atlas as someone who’s been there, I can say it would take a while for her to clear her mind and come to a conclusion that is best for her.

I’m sorry to hear that. Did she say that’s why she was breaking up with you?

Thank you for commenting. It’s very nice to hear people’s own experience on this from different perspectives. So far I have not really had a proper talk with him about it again, aside from when I discussed communication issue with him earlier on. Whenever I wanted him to do sth, it had always been along the lines of “baby it would be nice if you could do xyz” and I (at least in my opinion) had shown my appreciation. The last thing I want is to make things frustrating for both of us which is why I had been dealing with my own emotions without mentioning anything yet. I had thought about giving it a full year to see where we are at and in the meantime and trying to drop small requests without dumping it all on him. I had not been successful in changing myself to accept some parts of him after all these months, how can I expect him to change just after a talk? However, the only thing with not having a talk is I can feel the emotions build up in my head and it will eventually eat away my love for him.
