In addition to the target date funds, there are some very basic funds through every broker. Some big ones like SPX and QQQ track directly with the s&p and NASDAQ. Every etf will have a theme (tech, biotech, industrial, energy, etc.) And should have a short description on them. Find something that fits your fancy if you have an industry you really believe in

To freeze your credit means that you (or anyone inpersonating you) can do anything that requires your credit. Cant make large purchase, take out loans, etc. Its a good way to protect yourself from identity theft.
To unfreeze it, you need to go through a process with the credit union before you can use it again. Its generally a good practice to freeze your credit always if you can plan ahead for large financial purchase
- Comment on What is happening with Tesla (TSLA) stock currently? 📈 1 week ago:
But the comments do matter?
The stock market traded on speculation of future value, not current value. If tesla increases profit by $1M , their market cap doesnt increase by $1M. It increases or decreases by the speculative future value.
If protestors are going to be prosecuted, the perceived value of the company increases because theyre will be less negative press.
It also leads to, "what else is the president going to do to help musk’s company? " and that list is endless, and speculation runs wild.

Maybe he’s only had 1 wife, so being the hottest wife means nothing. There were (presumably) other girlfriends. Man knew what he was saying

The tolerancing on this thing must be a nightmare. My engineering brain is upset

Buying a shit ton of your own cars to then claim the government rebate for EVs, but still having those cars available for sale is fraud.

She does help people. Shes a family law attorney and she deals with some real crazies and some real shitty situations. If shes getting a person/kids out of a domestic abuse situation, that other person gets real hot when they get a restraining order against their kids.
Or some other levels of crazy where her client believes their husband is trying to kill them by slowly poisoning them. She had a client bring in a bottle of shampoo to be analyzed because she was sure thats how he was doing it. Also that he was breaking in and spying on her and yada yada, but literally no evidence, so she couldnt give her any legal support. Well that person feels wronged. And hey, theyve been in your office where you have pictures painted by your kids so they know you have kids. If they see you go to your car in the parking lot with those kinda stickers, the crazy can continue (this is the person that actually threatened her father).

I mean, my spouse has received death threats because of her line of work. We have 2 small children and we make sure they have no online presence at all (no pictures, comments, tags, etc), and we intentionally make sure to not have anything identifiable like this on our car. Our other family members have been included in threats before. If someone, for any reason, is targeting you, youre actually giving them a ton of information. Its easier to just not put it on your car and not risk it
- Comment on HELP! How do I help educate my son about his body when I know nothing about boys?? 5 weeks ago:
My college gave them away for free. The wellness center just had a big bowl of them outside the door. Grab what ever when you walked by. They only had them out during school hours when they had someone working the desk, so it wasnt really a concern that people would be poking holes or some shit in them.
The wellness center would even come to any organization and give a free “safe sex” talk if you wanted them to, and that came with its own goody bag with more than just condoms. It was awesome

Im sure youre right. My point is thats not even a niche topic. A quick Google estimates there are 21 million viewers PER GAME every week. There are literally hundreds of millions of fans of the nfl, but even a subject so popular can’t maintain a healthy community on lemmy, how are these niche topics supposed to stand a chance at survival?

I look at the nfl community here. It really only gets a handful of posts on Sunday and that’s it. It blows my mind that there isn’t more engagement

In your example tho, you want those numbers to stand out. The reason the affair was busy, was because of the numbers. You want the numbers to jump out, because that’s the important detail.
