Sadly, a matching 401k became the standard corporate retirement package over a pension.
However, you do still have a choice of what to invest in, even with a 401k.
- Comment on Have you noticed the new way of promoting horrible food by telling you it has lots of protein 3 days ago:
I’m not sure where you think I’m saying you should eat candy bars. You’re projecting someone else’s opinion on my comment. I didn’t say those things.
Firstly, there’s not a single reason that people are obese. And secondly being at a goal weight doesn’t mean that you are either healthy or fit.
If one is to substitute known unhealthy things for possibly harmful things instead of improving their life in general, that’s like giving up cigarettes for vaping in my opinion. Artificial sweeteners could be causing massive harm in ways that are less obvious and harder to pin on diet, but for me, I don’t eat them because they taste terrible. I’d rather not eat sweets as often and have treats made from less refined, more natural ingredients than to eat things with artificial sweeteners and protein packed in for the sake of marketing.
Your accusations of me being judgemental and toxic are interesting, but I’m not going to take the bait. I don’t owe you an explanation of my nuanced opinion outside of the few reasons I’ve already listed.

I think the jury is still out on artificial sweeteners.

I think anyone that thinks eating something that tastes like a candy bar can be healthy is lying to themselves. I also think there are issues introduced when you are absorbing refined highly processed nutrients. Issues that might seem unrelated but can affect your health more long term.
Your body isn’t just a machine that you can add the correct mixture of things to for proper maintenance. It’s messy system that is biological dependent on evolutionary history, and there’s a lot of unknowns that have yet to be studied at all.

I think this is also true for investing in war companies (its the department of war now, so no need to keep up the defense charade), even if it’s just part of an index fund or ETF.
- Comment on Have you noticed the new way of promoting horrible food by telling you it has lots of protein 3 days ago:
No whey.
But, have you ever considered how much protein your body should have in a meal? Eating too much protein can also be malnutrition. To your point it’s better to have too much protein than too much fat. However if it tastes like it’s full of corn syrup, it probably still is. Or some “healthy” artificial sweetener which your body thinks is the same yet is still empty carbohydrates.

I just thought of Functionally Auditorily Myopic, but perhaps that is misleading.

Lol, yeah

That is fair, however sometimes people use functionally illiterate in both conditions, some I was trying to match that as closely as possible.
I like these terms, but nothing makes it specific to the spoken word. These terms could theoretically be used instead of functionally illiterate.

I’m only talking about compression, not expression.

Inability to express themselves is not a part of it, just comprehension.

I think it’s a symptom, but why wouldn’t there be a word for it
- Comment on Is there a word for when someone is not capable of, or doesn't try to understand verbal communication in a language, they are fluent in similar to functionally illiterate but for speech? 1 week ago:
I think this is close, but more would describe an inability to express themselves with speech. But I’m looking more for the inability or active choice not to comprehend speech.

I think it’s something that happens which I’ve experienced but I have a hard time describing it since I don’t know a word for it.
However I am not talking about people that are new to or learning a language. I mean like if a lawyer is explaning a contract to you. Or if a teacher is giving giving a lecture and either you are bored out of your mind a drift off or you are so unable to understand some of the finer details that it just goes way over your head. This might also happen when you are mad and having a disagreement.
