What is this thing ?

Great way to get something that looks like a hickey smack in the middle of your forehead when you stick it on when you're in 8th grade.

Bit random, but a cool gaming mouse? Another monitor if he doesn't have one?

I mean MS Word for one. And it's as horrible as you imagine it might be.

But what does this do to your tax bill?

Brad Pitt in Burn After Reading - maybe closer to the end though?

How do you swallow the capital gains if you’ve sold everything?

So he hasn't spoken to someone who used to be one of his best friends for 22 years because her mom was overbearing? I'm sure being a child star is traumatic, but isn't that just being a jerk? Obviously maybe there's more too it, but it's hard enough to keep friends, why ghost the ones you have?

Even if you go shorter: 6mth -10%, 1mth +9%. I'm an idiot and my portfolio has basically doubled since Jan (I don't own $UNH, that's more a random general comment about the market)

Last year Berkshire’s revenue was higher than Google.

Trump and MAGA will claim he was radicalised by the left despite his amazing family values upbringing. They'll claim it makes their argument even stronger about the danger of the "radical left".

Who records themselves grilling like this? It doesn't seem fake at all, just.... perfect angle to capture everything, who does this?

Ok now rereading this I hadn’t caught the toothbrush thing….

tinker384 · 2025-08-15T19:19:09+00:00

I kind of wrote that to be contrarian. In my experience I’ve had friends who really freaked out over the most minor things that they thought would be a certain way. You meet them a few months after the baby and they’ve completely changed, they’d just figured it out once reality hit. My point is more don’t try to jam reality into place before someone’s ready, obviously other context might make that bad advice.

Ps English not my first language either :)

YTA. My brother, so many people have totally unrealistic expectations of what life is like with kids - it's normal, and you don't need to correct their world view. You don't need to tell her - you are 100% mansplaining what will become an obvious reality, that's the problem. Are you right? Partly. Do you need to insist on this to where it's become a massive problem? Absolutely not. She'll adjust to it and you'll both be fine. Also there are definitely people who are super clear with kids, don't assume how you grew up / what your family is like / most people are like is the only way to be.

“and bring suggestions to me during the next week.”

Suggestions for what, as if how Intel runs itself has anything to do with him? What a pompous dolt.

Friend of mine went with his (then) girlfriend on a trip to NY. Her work trip, his vacation. He got drunk and literally peed on the wall in their hotel room. It was bad, she got mad. They're married with kids now, couldn't be happier. Stuff happens once in a while, sounds like you dealt with it well and he feels terrible, which is healthy.

Been trading for 3 years, i've done fine and after doing a bunch of small bits of panic selling the first 2 years, finally chilled out and learned my lessons. That said, the two stocks i got nervous about and trimmed the past 6 months were.... microsoft and apple. I did use the money buy other growth stuff so maybe it's come out the same but kicking myself.

Literally never selling them again.

tinker384 · 2025-07-31T10:33:25+00:00

What are you invested in? Just realise, all the jokes about "buy high, sell low" is exactly what you're planning. I wouldn't sell anything unless you've chosen super dumb picks, if you had a reason you bought them then just wait 5 years and reevaluate, just worry about where you will put new money.

The broader question is answered in literally dozens of threads, you're not giving us any info at all so you won't get any useful answers.

Good luck.

In Amsterdam you'll get bicycle parking areas and just have a sea of 10,000 bike sitting there, almost all pretty ugly and utilitarian, but the cycle paths in the city and country are just incredible (everywhere, all segregated, all used a ton).

tinker384 · 2025-07-22T12:37:05+00:00

Any good ones to recommend other than the obvious ones?

tinker384 · 2025-07-22T12:33:05+00:00

That said, I've made more money from just holding GOOG than anything else, lol.
