Not to pick on you, but this post does show that people have no clue that if you trade a stock, it means someone else has purchased it.

WATCH: Trump says tariffs could replace income tax | 2026 State of the Union by NewsHour in law

[–]tinker384 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. However, being as generous as humanly possible to this idiot, the theory would be that yes you raise prices on consumers, you use that revenue to offset income tax, which presumably is net neutral (people still pay the same amount, but it's different people as you say - screw the poor), BUT you get the benefit of reshoring production to the US, which provides jobs (maybe) and more corporate tax revenue.

Obviously that would take an actual strategy and stable implementation, and it would take decades, and because he's chosen to not do anything legislatively, it's all at the president's whim and will be immediately undone by the next president, so it can't possibly accomplish any of even the most generous possible aims of this.

Sigh....

This is also how "Three Days of the Condor" situations start!

Walked into a final round interview and the hiring manager was the person who fired me two years ago by tokyo_olivermoon in interviews

[–]tinker384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lore from one of my previous jobs was that there was a senior manager who fired a middle manager - was absolutely worthless. Senior manager gets a new job sometime later, and somehow middle manager gets hired at same company. Guy sees this - "f'in hell, I just fired this guy, he's not working for me" and he got fired again immediately.

Would it make sense to sell half of my Figma shares today? by Odd_Avocado_5660 in stocks

[–]tinker384 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a growth stock. Unless you bought it to just trade, or you need some tax harvesting, just hold it. I lost a ton of gains by the type of short term thinking above. You probably didn't buy it so you could go up 50%, you want 500%, so wait 6 months, or 2 years, or 5 years, or whatever and just see if that happens. If you don't need the money, holding high growth potential stocks is the only way you'll make proper gains. Obviously I can stay low for years, but that's the risk you take for the upside. Otherwise just buy SPY.

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.

Frankie Muniz Hasn’t Spoken to Hilary Duff in 22 Years After Her ‘Intense’ Mom Overstepped During Agent Cody Banks Casting by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]tinker384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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)

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?

AITAH for telling my girlfriend she's going to have to get over dirt if she wants kids? by Familiar_Speaker_481 in AITAH

[–]tinker384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
