  • Why should I know this? How is this not just "news"? Go post this where your belongs.

  • It's mildly infuriating when I'm constantly hit with major political issues in this community when I'm here for mild

  • No, I'm not interested in creating that community. Someone who is interested in posting and running it may do so, I just don't want it here.

  • I want to thank you for this comment. I saw your recommendation for Tiny Habits so I grabbed it from the library on a whim around October 20. Since then, I feel this book is life-changing!

    The smallest, easiest example was his tooth flossing idea. I normally had only flossed right before going to the dentist because I would forget about it, or not feel like doing it or whatever. Trying his little experiment, I've now flossed my teeth everyday without missing and it's already become a non-issue with me. It seems little but it proves the concept strongly enough to me that I've started to embrace it in other ways to.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you random internet stranger.

  • What do you secretly judge people for?

  • Putting the dollar sign after the number. Yes, that is how it is read, but not how it is written. "Five dollars" is $5, not 5$.

  • I was thinking of starting back up again. What bugs are you encountering?

  • What was the worst book you’ve ever read?

    Jump

  • For me, I tried reading it years ago and it felt slow like he was going into too much detail about things that didn't matter, like the slope of the road or some such. After the movies came out and I enjoyed them, I decided to go back and give it another try. What finally made me stop was when I realized a scene he was describing that was dull and boring in the book was actually exciting and intense in the movie. I'm glad for the people who like it, but I'm glad I got to see the story in movie form instead.

  • What are some adulting life hacks that you think others could benefit by learning about them?

    Jump

  • I'm getting a lot more downvotes for this than I thought I would. If you disagree, let's have a discussion. Maybe I'm wrong? But getting a financial advisor made it very easy for me to see what I need to do to retire.

  • I would recommend against using those then. The one I'm using from Edward Jones is buying funds from a number of different companies, not just specific to Edward Jones. It's important to ask a potential financial investor how they get paid and that can help you understand whether they're going to be working in your best interest or not.

  • Have you ever purchased the full-sized version of a free sample you received?

  • Except, the whole point of this thread is an example of that not being the case.

  • Get a financial advisor. Unless finances is your job, hobby, or desire, just use someone else for this. I use Edward Jones but I would imagine there are lots of good options. They can help you figure out how much you need to save for retirement and give you realistic goals and expectations. You might be better off than you think, or it might not be hard to get to where you need to be when you have someone who can help you figure this stuff out. At the very least, looking to Roth IRAs

  • Change your passwords: Attackers claim a 'catastrophic security breach' of the Internet Archive, with 31 million emails and hashed passwords captured [also Archive.org under DDoS]

    Jump

  • Because of the nature of the Internet archive, I too was wondering this.

  • Favorite horror movie?

    Jump

  • Midsommer is my favorite. A slow, realistic slide into horror.

  • What music do you use for concentration?

    Jump

  • Soundtracks to puzzle video games. Spacechem and the rest of the Zachtronics games have Great music that helps encourage concentration in my opinion.

  • I feel like a flashbang went off in my head, so the only question that I can think of is, "What now?" (Details in body.)
