Thank you. You are the first person to actually understand what I am trying to say.
- Comment on stock market 1 week ago:
I think you missed three facts that I keep trying to hammer home.
- I genuinely don’t care enough to do research and spend time watching the markets. I’m fortunate to have more money than time these days so $750 is worth vastly less than me doing it myself.
- It’s safer. This is a huge % of my life savings were talking about. I don’t trust myself to do it.
- I don’t care. At all. In any capacity.
- Comment on stock market 1 week ago:
Ah yes there is no such thing as experience or knowledge in financials!
I’m in IT and it’s the same way! Throw on an LTT playlist and by the end of the day you’ll be a sys admin!

THEY want to make money
Yes, but they make money when I make money. I pay like $750 per year to keep my account open, but other than that he only takes a percentage of my monthly gains. The more money he makes me, the more money he gets from me.
And yes of course I could do enough research to match or very them in gains and I could spend enough time watching the markets to make sure I am making sound decisions. Or I could just pay someone a few hundred bucks a month to do it for me. I know what decision I chose.
- Comment on stock market 1 week ago:
So I do actually have a high interest account from Capital One it’s very nice. But yeah there’s a bunch of rules like minimum monthly deposits and it takes up to 5 business days to transfer money out of it. And because y’all are assuming, I also have a 401k and HSA maxed out, and a Roth IRA I put some money in each month.
But yeah I intentionally left out a lot because I am not a financial expert, which is the reason why I went with a broker anyways. But here are the answers for your questions
- I have a broker through JP Morgan. I don’t know the guy and don’t talk to him outside of the once a month he calls me to update me on what’s going on.
- I don’t know what stocks he is trading and I don’t care. Every once and a while I’ll ask him to invest in something I think would be good like Nvidia or AMD but by the time I hear about something he already moved money around
- Of course he is working for the company and not me. I am not that wealthy haha
- He consistently makes me 4-6% gains which is plenty for me.
- Comment on stock market 1 week ago:
Hi so I am actually maxing out a 401k and HSA, I have a IRA too but I only put a little bit into it.
But this is my long term savings and retirement. I don’t trust myself enough for that and I’ve made 4-6% gains consistently since I started. Significantly better than I would be able to do (I know because I’ve tried with smaller amounts) plus I don’t have to worry or think about it.
- Comment on stock market 1 week ago:
Sure, but this is my retirement and long term savings. I’m able to admit my limitations and this is one of them.
I go to a doctor when I’m sick too. I trust professionals.
- Comment on stock market 1 week ago:
Actually just avoid the stock market entirely and pay someone else to manage your money.
I just have an account that I deposit money to every week when I get paid (actually it’s automatically deducted) and never think about it.
- Comment on me irl 1 week ago:
So in Chinese traditions “10000” is just a stand in for “really big number”. Kind of like how, at least here in the states, well say “there’s a million of them”. Not that there is literally 1,000,000 of the thing, but more there is just a lot of them.
- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 1 week ago:
Yes, I am agreeing with you. They absolutely were not at their posts 2.5 hrs after end of day on a Friday, which is likely why they responded to the tickets Monday morning.
And I am also agreeing with you that there should have been someone(s) who stayed late to actually watch this. But it’s not gonna be me haha
- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 1 week ago:
As someone in IT, the answer is in the comment.
City Hall is closed by 7:30
So nobody was ever in the office and nobody on the team wanted to stay (I’m guessing here) 2.5 hrs after work to actually do any troubleshooting.
- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 1 week ago:
My dad’s smoker is also able to set key frames so you can have it ramp up or down in temp at various points while cooking. And it can either be set to change temp at a time or when one of the probes reaches a certain temp.
- Comment on The Steam controller was ahead of its time 1 week ago:
I remember the couple of times you could pick up a controller and steam link for free. And my dumbass still didn’t do it :(

We actually have 3 grands prix in the US now haha
- Comment on 1 week ago:
You can’t understand because you can’t even read the numbers in your own sources haha
- Comment on Let’s Encrypt Begins Supporting IP Address Certificates 1 week ago:
It’s called buying more static IPs and making your ISP deal with it haha
- Comment on As of 30 minutes ago at the time of posting, the NYPD has detained two young Black men after they refused to show ID without explanation or cause. 1 week ago:
To be honest, that’s probably a question he has to ask.
When I was on probation I had a ton of random things I wasn’t allowed to do including any crime on a computer. But since I work in IT a lot of my job “looks” like hacking so I had to get a letter from my boss basically saying “he is not hacking at work”
- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 1 week ago:
Imo, that should be the primary role of the government
- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 1 week ago:
I understood that from a IP and trademark stand point. It could be hard to retain your copyright or trademark if you are no longer controlling a product
- Comment on Interesting 1 week ago:
Yeah that wasn’t a great point. The US spies on its own people sure (but literally every country does) but it was nothing like the Soviet union.

I just spun up Lube Logger so I feel this haha
- Comment on Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up 1 week ago:
Overall, I would say so yeah.
For the bullying thing, not everyone’s parents are available or willing to discipline their kids.
And for the athletics thing, personally I believe that athletics is more about developing young adults into good people rather than the sport itself. And my school had a bunch of other things like grade minimums, required volunteer hours, we would wear dress shirts and ties before meets, and some other things like that.
- Comment on Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up 2 weeks ago:
Okay so you have no reason. Which is because having sexually explicit images, drawn or otherwise, is gross and weird and disturbing. And the fact that you are continually doubling down shows me that you likely need your hard drives and notebooks checked.
Please don’t respond again unless you are telling me what country you are from so I can report you to the appropriate authorities.
- Comment on Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up 2 weeks ago:
No. That’s not a good enough excuse to potentially be abusing children.
I can’t think of a single good reason to draw those kinds of things. Like at all. Please, give me a single good reason.
- Comment on Mullvad's ads are good 2 weeks ago:
Hosting a website over a VPN is not a great idea anyways. You should use something like Cloudflares proxied domains or tunnels. Your users will get far better performance and you’ll see significantly less load on your network.
- Comment on Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up 2 weeks ago:
I feel like you didn’t read my comment thoroughly enough. I said it can constitue CSAM. There is a surprising amount of leewat for teenagers of course.
But no, I’m not gonna let you get away that easily. I want to know the why you think it’s morally okay for an adult to draw sexually explicit images of children. Please, tell me how that’s okay?
- Comment on Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up 2 weeks ago:
Normally yeah, but why would you want to draw sexual pictures of children?
- Comment on Postiz (v1.58.0) - Open-source social media scheduling tool (new editor) 2 weeks ago:
I don’t really use any of the AI stuff, as I just want it to post on a schedule for me. It’s mostly just an optional thing to help you write the posts themselves, but it’s super easy to ignore.
But, to be honest with you, I’ve had terrible luck with it and we are about to move back to Hootsuite. It was incredible difficult to set up, we have constant bugs with it, and the devs are super hostile and unwilling to help in the discord. It seems like they really want you to pay for their hosted version which would probably be fine, but for basically the same price Hootsuite was a more mature and fully featured platform. Plus, they actually have support.
- Comment on Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up 2 weeks ago:
Hey so, at least in the US, drawings can absolutely be considered CSAM
- Comment on Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up 2 weeks ago:
Schools can already do that though. You can get in trouble for bullying outside of school, and when i was a student athletes i had pretty strict restrictions on what i was allowed to do because i was an “ambassador” for the school.
