Talking to hookers doesn't count?

My manager got let go today. For a completely childish totally self-inflicted reason. I was kind of shocked.

I thought I did but I honestly don't know. I just submit whatever Etrade provides but I guess I could have missed one? I had thought they consolidate all the dividends into one singular document?

This year my etrade account became subject to a backup tax withholding thing on dividends. I did not receive any notice or anything about this so I am unclear the cause of it. I don't have super complicated returns and just do it all on turbo tax every year with the documents they provide. I am...

Don't even need to do that. Just go back to 2001 or something, work a bullshit job, and put every single spare cent into broke apple stock and google.

I think it's always been that way. In the 19th century a sawmill operator who loved the great outdoors put forward the idea that glaciation is what shaped the valleys and peaks of North America. He came to this conclusion by wandering around Yosemite and observing things. He was called an...

How many fucking times does it have to be said in this thread that aliens and shit is not what we are talking about? What you are doing is taking the "experts" as 100% correct and all you do is defend it for some reason. Even when numerous examples already exist of the experts being totally...

Something for @Chris to attempt to digest. But also an interesting listen. This is a contemporary example from the 20th century. Where in the 1930s researchers discovered the Clovis culture down in New Mexico. This was material evidence that people had lived in the Americas ~12500 years ago...

I can't be a coat tail riding dicksucker. I am physically incapable of kissing ass enough to do it. Though I do admit that it can be efficient and very beneficial if done correctly.

How did they possibly manage to switch semitruck trailers in the middle of the road with no room to maneuver. Let alone someone coming down the same road and catching them?

I think its the whole thing where Boomers instead spend every single penny they have, even after inheriting sizeable sums from their own parents. Then reverse mortgage the family home for additional retirement income. On top of pushing their children into taking on huge debts that they never had...

One argument I heard about that recently. It's that the Silent and Greatest generations that survived the hardship period of the Great Depression all had it ingrained in them to pull yourself by your bootstraps. That nobody is coming to help you and you need to work hard as you can to survive...

I also enjoy such projects I mean, yes I don't have to do anything fancy. But to me this isn't that fancy anyway.

I spend all day automating this kind of data parsing for shit at work. The very idea I would deal with manual uploads of anything is completely fucking preposterous.

Starting to research my personal asset tracker I want to put together. Mint and the other various apps that used to be free are going freemium and putting the useful shit behind paywalls. Option 1: Excel App utilizing newer features of Excel and REST apis offered by most things these days...

I harp on this a lot but I have seen a lot of people move into Salesforce, ServiceNow, and other enterprise platform specialties later in their careers. As the pay is excellent and you can move into the field with most backgrounds.

I know a dude who went from an office job into commercial HVAC. He makes like $120k and gets overtime and bonuses. Seems to be where the real money in HVAC is. He said that the controllers for commercial units are all done in old school C programming. You just have to connect some terminal tool...

Is UK university as expensive as US?

My old Edward Jones account executive (account my dad setup for me when I was 18) still sends me a birthday and christmas card even though I pulled the majority of my money out of it almost a decade ago. But lots of it is because it is a small town and that entire office is manned by a dude, his...

Are you just trying to be contrarian for no reason here? Every society that ever developed developed along similar lines. Nomadic cultures in both recorded history and pre-history followed around their primary source of food. Because they were dependent on whatever animal they had to follow it...

Do you think that guy is your friend or some bullshit because he sends you a yearly Christmas card?

Yes, I don't understand what question or point you are trying to get at. Every 401k I have ever participated in offers the typical ETF funds. Be they Vanguard, Fidelity, or some other one. They are similar enough and I never found a reason to move things around in them. As I max out my 401k...

Dunno, the index funds offered by most 401ks are similar enough. But once you max out your tax advantaged accounts you just go into the normal taxable one. I fuck around with individual stocks often enough but the overwhelming majority of my money is in index funds like any sensical person who...

This is good shit. Seems every few years Netflix can produce something of quality. Although I dislike that they made the main character a woman in name only. As she acts in every other way like a man which just doesn't really make sense. Similar situations like Mulan or Arya in Game of Thrones...

I parked a large amount of cash into FZROX a few years ago and have had quite good returns. https://fundresearch.fidelity.com/mutual-funds/summary/31635T708 0% Expense funds do exist just saying.

Edited, quoted the wrong thing.

And remember this is Western Siberia. Not the comparatively densely populated European continent (even in pre-history). So, what societies were in Siberia exactly that required the construction of complex defensive fortifications? You don't build that shit to deter wandering reindeer and bears.

Visiting the fam over the holidays I always make it a point to have a little pilgrimage to my favorite childhood pizza place. It's a one store restaurant that started in the late 50s. Now I don't know how to describe it but my mom says all local pizza places uses to serve pizza this way. But as...

Krispy Krunchy Chicken the gas station franchise is objectively superior to KFC.

While I "would" I would also objectively have a hard time trying to carry on a conversation long enough to get her in bed.

I watched part of it. Is she an Onlyfans thot or what? She didn't mention it. But she's on the dole and squats in a LA apartment claiming mold. Which is a common California rent-avoiding scam. I liked the stripper one more. Stripper wasn't even as retarded as you might think, just retarded with...

On the flip side, those of us that maintain competence and excellence will have some smooth sailing.
