Yes. If you can afford it, dumping that money into an ETF like VT, VTI, or VOO every month for the next 10 years is very likely to result in you turning a profit. Start with a Roth IRA and don’t bother with a standard brokerage account until you’re able to max out the contribution limit. If you want to do anything more complicated than buy big low cost ETFs study up first and go slow.
A third suspect escaped by boat.
That’s some action movie bullshit. Who escapes the FBI on a boat?!
No forgiveness, I would feel obligated to destroy that person and piss on their grave. Forgiveness is earned, you don’t owe it to anyone.
Generally yes, but there’s exceptions and degrees. I think its a job sort of like being a cop where it tends to attract a certain type of person, and the culture of the job is corrosive to ethical behavior. Power tends to corrupt, and the corrupt tend to be drawn to power. The result is most of them either start off at least somewhat ethically compromised or quickly arrive there.
At his age, 3 million net worth isn’t really rich, especially compared to his peers. Its more like upper middle class. He can afford retirement in HCOL areas and vacations out of the country. Rich is you can fly a private jet to one of your mansions for vacation. If you try to claim you’re rich with only 3 million actual rich people are going to laugh at you.
Its even technically illegal to be employed by several state governments if you’re a communist. Or its technically legal, but there’s old laws from the Red Scare era which are no longer officially enforced saying its illegal.
At my job everyone gets a background check before they start. I assume it includes at least a basic web search for their name, which could potentially turn up social media but to my knowledge its primarily focused on turning up legal issues. If the job involves handling money I believe its more thorough than the standard background check but I don’t know the specifics. You only get drug tested if your job requires operating heavy machinery or employer owned vehicles, or if you’re involved in an accident where employer insurance gets involved you can be required to do a drug test after the accident.
Nope, or not that I’m aware of.
It will likely end up on PC eventually.
That article was horrifying. 100% these guys are absolute monsters who should have been brought to justice long ago.
I was in a tiny crowded restaurant with one bathroom and needed to wash my hands. Whoever was in there before me nuked the whole site from orbit and it smelled like death. I hold my breath and quickly exit right into a woman waiting who immediately gets a face full of it and looks at me in complete horror. I start explaining it wasn’t me but she has no reason to believe me and obviously doesn’t. We’re both regulars there so I keep running into her afterwards until I eventually moved away.
From what I saw it wasn’t actually a DMCA takedown request but an allegation of “fraud and phishing” that Funko sent to the itch.io domain registrar.
I’ve never been banned from Reddit but I was threatened with a ban by a Reddit admin when I reported a right wing troll group who was obviously using sockpuppets to harass people and spread racist bullshit in some local sub. The admin message said I was abusing the moderation system by reporting them and if I didn’t stop I would be banned from Reddit. I was never banned but a few weeks later all of the sockpuppet accounts I reported were banned by the antievil operations team along with one of the mods in that sub.
Web 3.0 was actually the Semantic Web originally, the cryptobros are bad at counting.
American truck culture. It feels like parody or satire, except it’s real.
I think it can be possible even without eye surgery.
When I was poor I would only wear one contact at a time to make them last longer. I would alternative eyes, and would either take it out or switch to glasses when I was reading or looking at a screen for any extended amount of time. My eyesight improved after a few years, not to the point of being cured but my prescription got weaker. I don’t know if there’s actual causation, and the optometrist just said “hmm, interesting” when I brought it up, but it does seem like that is what improved my vision.
Also, I know someone with a rare vision issue who had to see a vision therapist to do eye exercises and whatever they did was helpful for them. That’s a more specific situation though than your typical eyesight problems where corrective lenses can be used because I think it involved how their brain processes visual input.
If he was taking responsibility he would resign from office and retire from politics.
Most years its no decorations but occasionally my wife wants them so she puts up some lights and a plastic tree. Seems to happen every 3 to 5 years. This year she bought a more high end tree and a bunch of lights so I think the rate of decorative years might be about to increase.
S&P is like 23% this year, chasing Pelosi has apparently underperformed.
