Zoomers replying with a comment of just

😭😭😭😭😭

is the most low effort and stupid type of response. I miss the old days of Reddit where people actually followed reddiquette, and hope that shit doesn't come here.

Tax any loans using stocks as collateral. If they try to hide their wealth through an LLC, subject that LLC to a high wealth/business tax as well. Go full scorched earth on all billionaires.

Inshallah

Sperm motility issue rates are rising worldwide and I found out I was one of them this year. Mid 30s, waited to start a family while we went further in our careers. Now that we're ready, we got hit with this, fuck me for being responsible I guess.

That's murder-suicide, a mass suicide is where multiple people all commit suicide at the same time

If you root, install Lineage, and gapps, do Google Wallet and banking apps work?

Edit your comments, don't reply to yourself

I've never had any issues with the Tmobile prepaid plan in either NYC nor north NJ, although I'm not sure if the prepaid plans have the same lowered priority as Mint, for example.

Borrowing with stocks as collateral should be taxed at the capital gains rate

Ackshually, the majority of people driving into Manhattan are not poor. The toll would have had minimal effect on "poor people."

I got the fold 5. Two weeks ago it dropped out of my pocket (folded) as I got off a regular bus and dropped 3 feet right onto road asphalt. I had a tempered glass screen protector on both the front and back, and have absolutely zero damage other than 2 tiny dings on the aluminum frame, and had to replace the front screen protector as that one was cracked badly. The front screen had no damage after peeling off the screen protector, and the inner screen has no damage whatsoever. Cameras are also undamaged and the phone seems to have no internal damage. I personally vouch for the durability of the Fold 5 :)

Does LineageOS work with Google Family Link if I add gapps?

Let's say you work at a very busy fast food place that has a night shift, complete with its own night manager. While you sleep, the night manager puts in an order: at 1pm, all remaining potatoes must be dumped, and you must go buy new crates of potatoes. 10am comes and the daytime manager comes in, and is stunned to see the order. At noon, the lunch rush starts. At 1pm, the day manager follows through on the simple order of throwing out the remaining potatoes, and now the fast food joint can't make more fries.

Who is at fault in this situation? The night manager agreed to dump the potatoes and gave an order on the exact time to do it. There was no plan given on how to do it. The day manager received the order and was the one who actually dumped the potatoes, costing the restaurant a ton of money by essentially shutting down fry production.

Premake healthy snacks like overnight oats and fruit salads. Throw away all cookies, chips, soda, juices, and other high calorie and low nutrition foods and drinks. Eat more fiber and whole grains. This is hard for people but going vegetarian doubles weight loss if you replace it with direct substitutes like tofu and mushrooms. Round it all by adding beans or chick peas to your meals.

Having high fiber foods means you don't need to change your eating habits. The issue with advice in this thread is it ignores the struggle with eating habits. Not everyone can go to snacking addiction to "I just eat a banana before 5pm and nothing more", it's completely unrealistic and makes you feel worse about yourself and causes more binge snacking as a result.

Finally, look at small goals. Try to switch your foods to the first 2 things I mentioned. Switch to only water. Always drink a ton of water right before eating anything and your stomach will feel full. You will see weight loss of 5 kgs quickly if you go all in. Then target your body's feeling, the aches will go away slowly as you put better things into it. Then target further small kg losses, 5 kg at a time.

MSFT right when it dropped to $40 per share around . Too bad I wasn't making much and I couldn't afford too many shares back then.

I love mine. Which BEV lets me have seamless phone key and instant bootup, letting me walk up and get into the car and drive away immediately? I also have my heat/cooling and heated seats on auto and love not having to fiddle with knobs. If another car maker can catch up to them I'd switch but I don't see it happening soon.

My hood isn't perfectly flush with the front on one half of the front though, and the FM radio reception is pretty bad, so I do have some complaints.

What I can do for rural Americans is vote for Democrats that will raise my taxes and use them to fund these poor states. Then they pull shit like this. Their local GOP parties and the voters that agree with them are evil to do that to kids. Rince and repeat for expanding Medicaid, etc

Switch to their prepaid plans! My wife and I pay $15 each for 3.5GB each, and if one/both of you uses TikTok/Reels then the 6.5GB plan is $10 more. For us, can't ever beat $30 and we get foreign SIMs when we travel.

As a 34 year old, my wider circle already killed Instagram. They post memes, news videos, and in some stories - a picture with million words on them. There already is a social media platform for this. Know what? FACEBOOK. If you're going to use Instagram like Facebook, just use Facebook. I wish Instagram would go back to being used for just photo/short video updates and that's it.

Took a nice photo of your pet? Instagram. Recorded a clip on your XSX/PS5 and want to share? Facebook. Made a short video montage of clips of your recent road trip? Instagram. Took a video of your cousin's graduation? The video is 5+ minutes so Facebook.

I miss the intent of Instagram. There is a mood I'm in to want to see a ton of crap, and when I'm in that mood, I'd use Facebook to dig through all the updates. I liked Instagram for its simplicity. Been using Instagram since I first got my iPod Touch 4, and many of my friends in college used it as I wrote above. The same people no longer do it.

The original 4loko

I get by for 2 people on $50 per week in NJ near NYC by:

  1. Shopping at Aldi
  2. Going vegetarian unless eating out (rarely). Meat is very expensive, but many of my favorite produce is not much more expensive than before inflation started. We switched to egg whites from Costco instead of paying crazy prices for a dozen whole eggs.
  3. Learning how to cook healthy. Spinach, red onions, tomatoes, bagged legumes, whole wheat pasta are all dirt cheap

Right I'm saying does the prepaid T-Mobile plan count as an MVNO? If it's directly from them vs a separate company like Mint

My M3 with LFP battery had almost no range loss in its first winter last year, although last year was milder than normal in the NE USA

I'm going to get one when the Black Friday deals (hopefully) come out. The taskbar only shows up if you use the Samsung launcher right?

Only true for sub-par browsers.

And MacOS. It'll be the way my wife is open to a non-Apple phone for her next as she doesn't care about iMessage, but uses the share clipboard feature every day

Instant bootup

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nABtTMVq8ow&t=46 That is not instant, and all other EVs have that stupid start button taking an extra step.

remote keyless control

I'm not talking about controlling remotely via a fob or app, I'm saying if I can have nothing in my pockets besides my phone, have the car unlock automatically, and I can get in and instantly drive, all that happening in less than 3 seconds.

ELI5 what you'd do if president, with the exact same 2 houses of Congress and the same supreme court of 2024, to fix everything that is not great with our lives.

Also, check your non-housing and non-food expenses from 2018 vs today's, and see if you're spending way more on non essential fun things. Usually disposable income is a telling sign of how good things are.

I'd be really curious to know what happens to you between your early 20s and your late 30s

As some people said in this thread, it's hard to get a job that pays well out of college. You're supposed to be using the help of living at home to work towards getting an actual career so that you can afford to move out by/around 30. If you are in a difficult financial situation in your 20s and you instead spend them spending your money freely and frivolously without bettering yourself, you'd be rightfully seen as "lazy".

I graduated with a degree that didn't work out in the path I originally saw for myself. I moved back in with my parents at age 22, and spent my 20s:

  1. Working whatever desk job I could
  2. Saving as much as possible
  3. Teaching myself programming at night

I would not have had been able to do the 2nd and 3rd things unless I was living at home, because I'd be putting all my small pay towards rent and living expenses, and also probably be too tired to learn a new career as 1 entry level job is not enough and I'd probably be working more hours or a 2nd job to make ends meet. At the same time, if I was not doing those things while at home, I'm wasting an opportunity and my privileged position (not everyone can move back), and would see myself as lazy. In my 30s, I have an actual career and had put myself in a good financial situation thanks to that opportunity of being able to move back in.

Finally. Got grilled so much about this in my current job during the interview, so stupid.

don't have battery life

I have a Fold 5 with a snapdragon 8gen2. I have "light performance mode" on at all times, and deep sleep most apps that I rarely use, and get 8 hours SOT. The 8g2 phones are definitely worth getting for battery life

??? I rented a pickup no issue from Home Depot. What restrictions did you see?

Any suggestions? Which do you use?

Which phone? Stock OS or custom ROM?

If you bothered to read, I'm saying the zoomers took over. That's why I was more than happy to move here. The reddit I joined in 2012 died years ago.

Exactly, some of my iPhone-using friends don't care about the color itself, just that sending a video via MMS results in a 240p mess. Being able to properly RCS videos, and multiple photos, will alleviate all actual concerns. They don't care about message reactions, and I don't know a single person who uses the avatar things (I'm in my early 30s in NY)

Same for me (met in Aug 2020) but on Hinge, and we just got married.

Pre-pandemic I only dated by meeting women thru friends, so this was all new for me. Hinge worked really well for me, but Bumble and Tinder were nothing but bot matches and women who just 1-word-answered me.
