  • That's always been the case that the rural backwater hillbilly sister-fucking areas hate the cities. The same is true in California. But it doesn't matter because there are more people in the cities so they have more power so the yokels can't do shit.

  • Won't matter to me. We'll leave to US to the Republicans.

  • Nuclear power is great. But I do wonder if they might be targets in a war with Russia or something. Can they be prevented from meltdown in the case of a missile strike?

  • My house got hacked when I did this once.

  • Is your state governor doing anything to oppose Trump?

  • So? It's probably worth it at this point. I'd enlist.

  • Don't have to care about being unconstitutional if you're not part of the union.

  • Congrats! I would say don't sleep on the stock market, especially now since a dip/cliff is really the best time to invest to get a good return, but you shouldn't touch it for at least a decade. Generally over a ten year period the market will give you a rate of return better than a HYSA but may be better or worse across short periods of time.

    If there is some kind of economic collapse that happens, it's going to affect a lot more than the stock market. Even regular bank accounts will be affected and if your bank doesn't shut down your US currency may be worth nothing. Especially if they get rid of the FDIC like Trump and Musk want.

  • It's good to have 3 months to a year of expenses saved in an HYSA to start with as a rainy day fund you can use in an emergency (i.e. lose your job/house, etc.). I think there are some studies that a huge portion of the population doesn't have savings to cover even a surprise $1000 expense.

    That's more important than putting money in the stock market to start with but after you have that you can put your savings into an IRA or something preferably in a diversified fund. (Vanguard has a few tgat are specifically targeted for retirement at particular years).

  • That's because the real term is gas-lamping, not gas-lighting. The term was invented around the Victorian period where the primary source of lighting were gas-lamps.

  • What if it's "the perp is a 5'4" female heading west"?

  • Honestly, a handsome specimen of the Ferengi species. I hear he was even the Grand Nagus briefly. And look at those lobes.

  • It's still basically most people's only hope for retirement. And represents a large portion of the compensation they are literally working for day after day.

  • My cat is thankfully very chill during nail trimming. And she only has three legs so I only have 75% of the work.

    1. Get a passion that isn't work.
    2. I have the opposite problem. I for some reason refuse to use AI. I worry that I'm becoming one of those tech dinosaurs that refuses to learn something new because it isn't what they're used to (but I'm only 36). I am opposed to using AI for many reasons but I'm also slightly worried this will harm my job prospects in the future if I ever have to find a new job.
  • Eating, preparing, or inserting? The answer is yes.

  • Shit I live near this incident and heard nothing about it.

    Seems kind of different though. This is a state run non-profit for workers comp?
