that ignores dividends. with dividends reinvested its 6.8% average annual returns, inflation adjusted since 1916.

well, one of the primary complaints of the women in the article was that they were getting hit too hard by the men, soo.....

im going to discuss co-ed soccer because soccer is what im most knowledgeable about. and i know im going to get railed for this.

if you secure your phone service IE with a pin so that nobody can tell the help line and impersonate you, then SMS-based 2fa is fine.

people must fart less than me. if i left the room every time i needed to fart, it would be super distracting for all involved. also i would never be able to fall asleep.

i wasnt actually asking you, it was a rhetorical question. there isnt anyone i can vote for satisfying that criteria.

look man. ideally every voter would spend the 1-10 hours it takes to be at least moderately well educated on the current candidates for current elections. but they dont, and it’s not a few voters who dont, its most voters.

im confused as to why you think people who live in a state thats mostly swampland should care about protecting the swampland? it’s not like they’re the inhabitants of the swampland, or that they depend on their swampland for sustenance or livelihood.  the swampland is mostly a big fucking annoyance to them i imagine.

well, im sure i prefer her to him, but seriously if she doesnt know anything about a topic, better to not take a stance on it.  they’re not wrong to criticize her for that.

planning your investment strategies around being able to cash in on a wave of repos if the market crashes is comically absurd. 

no the goal is to decide where to park your money while you’re saving for a larger purchase. 90% of the time if you park it in equities you’re going to have more money for the purchase than if you parked it in a savings account or bonds or money market or other low risk vehicles.

uh.... i like drinking as much as the next person, but this seems just like... i dont know, if you cant get through normal day-to-day activities without getting a buzz on, it’s time to get some help.

na, thick burgers are legit.  that being said, since my wife is vegetarian im a meat-eater for two (pretty sure thats how it works) so im always interested in new ways to prepare/eat meat.  *makes note to google “smash” as a cooking method.

yeah i know its mentioned but i think its really undersold here. if you’re flexible (ie saving for a boat), i’d probably just pop it in the stock market. if the market crashes you’re probably not going to be wanting to buy a boat anyways.

at least he’s finally moving out of his parents basement right

i seriously cant tell if you’re trolling or not. it’s never going to be impossible to do what you want to, if the company is using dark patterns it just makes it more difficult.

first of all, being a cute little kid doesnt entitle you to a ball, even if the ball is thrown towards you.  its prison rules out there, all kids know this.  i cant tell you how many times i had free tshirts ripped out of my hands by kids/people twice my age at ball games, but you dont cry about it, you plot how…

i mean, to the people that are anti-this-form-of-protest, i dont think it matters ‘what’ the players are protesting so much as that ‘they arent standing up during the anthem which is offensive regardless of what the purpose is’
