DarkHorse posted:A podcast I listen to has a host with ADHD and god it's so obvious when she's missed a dose. On meds she's smart, sharp, insightful, and funny, and apologizes if a comment goes slightly off-topic for more than a sentence. Off meds she's all over the place, constantly going on tangents and giggling over her own cleverness and puns while her partner struggles to keep on topic and on task. Would you mind sharing which podcast this is? I am highly interested to understand this better.

Dik Hz posted:Flying into Reagan is like this. There are huge billboard adds in the terminals targeted at one decision maker in the Pentagon and located specifically by the gates that person is likely to use. To expand on this I think DCA airport ads are targeted towards congresspeople who appropriate the funds while the metro station ads target pentagon folks that make source selections. I haven't been through either DCA or the metro since before the pandemic but I'm guessing the airport ads focus more on things like jobs and national security while the metro ads focus more on specific capabilities. grenada fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Mar 7, 2022 |

I was at the Ballston metro earlier today. Pre pandemic it was all infosec ads. Now it's all sports betting and crypto poo poo.

Strong Sauce posted:"... ask your developer" I came from there. That whole thing was actually great marketing for a startup. They didn't advertise so much as they went to developer conferences. Got their stuff in the "back door" since it's cheap and easy to sign up, then when something goes live/gets popular the spend goes up based on usage and they would negotiate an enterprise deal. Now they have a real sales staff out doing regular enterprise sales types of things. But back in the day the ad spend was nearly nothing other than a couple of billboards on the way in from the airport.

Yeah, ever since COVID really hit, 90% of YouTube ads for me have been sports betting, crypto, and daytrade bullshit. The vultures are preying on the desperate and it sucks. Also gently caress Matt Damon for doing tv loving crypto ads.

Are you really asking if Larry David is stupidly wealthy? 2. Ain’t no one saying no to money. I’m sure he considered the POV we are sharing here and said “gently caress it” along with his agent. It’s not like he is starting out and this has any potential to damage his reputation even a small amount. And it must’ve been a mighty fine sum.

Being so young this loss has really taken a toll on me and every night I just think about how stupid I am for losing this much. I don’t have rich parents but I am fortunately to have no college debt because of a merit scholarship .

I feel like I’ve ruined a decade of potential wealth .

Sold all stocks 6 months ago BECAUSE lost in 2000 and 2008. Experience is a teacher—- because most only learn from own experience, not others. The KEY is to learn from it. Buy a index fund each month with paycheck. Don’t try to time market—until you are 61!! People are defending this... I guess I don't know that particular sub, but it seems to me that this post is bragging about timing the market with their retirement funds? I would think that on the stocks subreddit, one should be bragging about predicting the downturn and taking advantage of it. Simply stating that you bailed out of stocks a while ago because you're 61 and can't afford to see the market tank means you have not been planning your retirement very well and have been gambling with that money... the lesson here isn't "time the market when you're 61," it's "don't gently caress up like me and over-allocate in to something volatile this close to retirement."

It's really not. It's about "not working" or at least "not at that job anymore" and the rest is just some combination of desperation, justification and willful naivete.

If he really thought it was going to be a great career move, he would have discussed it in advance. In such a spectacular fashion that his boss was concerned enough to ring his family, no less. All of the stories I've heard from people in the Industry basically underscore the fact that even if you start in your prime and are young, strong and in good health starting out likely means gruelling years on the road making less than your food and travel costs in booking fees, this dude hasn't figured out why wrestlers sell their ring gear in the first place, and nobody is going to want to buy the soiled jockstrap of Schlubby Joe - The Jobber Who Sucks A Whole Bunch.

SlapActionJackson posted:I still want to know who underwrote that mortgage. Banks have gone totally wild with what they'll sign off on. When I was looking for a house they kept trying to push me towards mortgages I would never have felt remotely comfortable with and one even told me that I should expect to spend at least 60% of my takehome a month on the house. It's very similar to how things were 10 years ago when "house prices never go down."

When I bought my house, my mortgage was about 50% of my take home, and it sucked. But I was a government employee with guaranteed promotions and knew that after 3 years it would be a reasonable payment. I’m happy we bought, because it was 2013 and prices started climbing almost immediately after we bought. But man those first few years were rough.
