I know a ton of people died, and countless more where hurt, and it hurt the economy, but as an introvert hermit, GOD DO I MISS LOCKDOWN.
I do my best to keep up the life style, but I'm still expected to go into the office every once in a while for my wasted day as we all call it.
Nintendo, isn't that the law firm with a game console side business?
The Streisand effect, the best free promotion you can ask for.
Ugh, the updates.....my work PC is Win 11, I got an email from IT last night telling me I had to install the latest update I had been putting off. This morning after I clocked out I started the update. I have 500 down and it took almost 2 hours to download and 3 hours later the installation is only at 53%. I'm just going to go to bed and hope it's done by the time I have to clock in tonight.
And my coworkers wonder why I prefer Linux.....
That is a totally viable method, it's just not the one I want to pursue.
Also, yeah I don't even want to think about the taxes....
I could put on an Aerosmith record before I knew how to put my Disney VHS tapes in the VCR, of course then my older cousin brought over her Master of Puppets album and I fell in love with thrash. As she still likes to remind me, "I turned you into a metal head before you were out of diapers". I still love the classics too BTW.
That is one way, and it is smart. For me I have a small amount of companies that I own and want to increase my stakes in those. The problem is they are all up at the moment. I'm waiting for a drop then I'll start buying in.
To each their own, I'll stick with my method and you can do yours. We'll just have to wait and see who's got the right idea in this uncharted landscape.
I wish you the best of luck, not sarcastically either.
Yep, when I started investing about 20 years ago I read as much as I could, one thing that always stuck with me was a Warren Buffet quote "be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful".
That's generally how I approach investing in stock and Bitcoin. There are exceptions of course, but that's the general plan. This stock or whatever isn't failing, it's on sale.
Only if you need the funds short term, if you are a ways off from needing the funds then hold what you've got and start building a cash reserve to buy more shares when it's low.
Very interesting, thanks. I really need to get my activity pub link setup since it would be nice to also be linked to mastodon. Oh boy, another project! ADHD for the win! Squirrel!!!!
I did not know that, thank you. Yes it is a WordPress blog. I'll have to Google how to set that up. Any links to guides are also welcome!
I run 4 subs on reddit, I got curious since I haven't seen any activity on my main sub. All 4 have been set to private. 3 of them are dead and I don't really care, but one is used to promote my blog so I flipped it back to public and saved the settings. When I went back and checked, it was private again.
I guess I'm being shadow banned, oh well no reason to post there again. I'll just have to set up a sub on Lemmy and move on with my life. Just curious, any other reddit mods seeing this?
