To freeze your credit means that you (or anyone inpersonating you) can do anything that requires your credit. Cant make large purchase, take out loans, etc. Its a good way to protect yourself from identity theft.
To unfreeze it, you need to go through a process with the credit union before you can use it again. Its generally a good practice to freeze your credit always if you can plan ahead for large financial purchase
But the comments do matter?
The stock market traded on speculation of future value, not current value. If tesla increases profit by $1M , their market cap doesnt increase by $1M. It increases or decreases by the speculative future value.
If protestors are going to be prosecuted, the perceived value of the company increases because theyre will be less negative press.
It also leads to, "what else is the president going to do to help musk’s company? " and that list is endless, and speculation runs wild.
Maybe he’s only had 1 wife, so being the hottest wife means nothing. There were (presumably) other girlfriends. Man knew what he was saying
Fuck gender norms. Im a man who wants to be a stay at home dad who’s more than comfortable with the fact that my wife makes more money than me.
I also take the “mild fever” as what its supposed to be. I dont take medicine because im a “tough guy,” i dont take medicine because i let my body heat up to kill what ever is inside of me thats not supposed to be there. I let science run its course because thats gonna make me feel better sooner.
Had a fever this week. Sweated it out over night, slept all day the next day, fully functioning the day after that.
The tolerancing on this thing must be a nightmare. My engineering brain is upset
My college gave them away for free. The wellness center just had a big bowl of them outside the door. Grab what ever when you walked by. They only had them out during school hours when they had someone working the desk, so it wasnt really a concern that people would be poking holes or some shit in them.
The wellness center would even come to any organization and give a free “safe sex” talk if you wanted them to, and that came with its own goody bag with more than just condoms. It was awesome
Yea when i travel to different cities for games, i buy a ton of shit and stay in their hotels. Ever been to a game? All restaurants and bars are absolutely packed before, after, and during the games
Yes, but i also get it. If you want to build a stadium very near the city, thats going to cost more than if you build out in the middle of no where. The city, and surrounding businesses want the stadium close to them becuase it drives business at the local shops/hotels/restaurants, which then also drives increased tax revenue.
The way the city incentivizes the owners to build near them is with tax incentives, which ultimately gets passed on to the local community. But the community does also benefit from those other things i mentioned above, but how much isnt as tangible as “my property tax went up x% to pay for their stadium”
Some of that speaks to your maturity and drive too tho. You clearly had a desire to go back, a will to learn, and hopefully a purpose to use that degree you were earning.
At 18 years old, so many people just go to college because its the next step or their parents told them they were. They dont have the passion, maturity, or vision of how their life can be different with a degree
I would argue that IP doesnt need to be purly capitalistic though. Yea i agree that if we have a life saving drug, dont let 1 company monopolize the shit out of it and let people die for an extra dollar, but i dont know that ill say IP shouldnt exist.
If someone writes a story, creates a character or world, i want that content creator to be able to develop it without people infringing. If someone created a great game, i dont want a bunch of shit companies racing to put out the next title in the interest of making a buck off someone elses idea. I want who ever created that game to own the franchise long enough that they can make a second, third, or 4th game (or what ever media they adapt) to continue telling their story before other people put out low quality content that spoils the franchise
The only reason im replying is
being against IP as a concept
Has me hella curious. Can you elaborate? Is it the capitalist aspect of patents/trademarks and licensing or something else? I believe that people who invent a concept/character/world should have ownership to develop it into what their grander vision may be before someone else can come and write the story/use of their tool. Id love to hear your side of this though because I don’t know anyone thats ever told me their against IP as a concept
This is one thing ive never understood about “cultural appropriation.” If someone is partaking in your nations/cultures traditions, apperal, food, etc. Why is that a bad thing? Wouldnt people want their traditions known and shared and experienced by many?
Idk im just a white guy who loves dia de los muertos
From the thumbnail, i was convinced this was a sun flower costume
She tries to be like me. “I dont care, i just want you to pick.”
Mexican? No. Indian? No. Italian? No. Sushi? No.
Oh so you do care. This is why you always pick. I will eat anything at any time.
RSVPs are a thing
Yall dealing with people stealing food? Ive worked in an office setting for almost 20 years and ive not once ever heard of someone taking someone elses food
I hate the, “make an appointment online!” Button that basically just turns into them calling you instead of you calling them. If I wanted to talk on the phone, I would have called you at my convenience. You calling me is way less convenient. Don’t put that I can make an appointment online if I can’t
You think laws matter to the privileged?
Im sure youre right. My point is thats not even a niche topic. A quick Google estimates there are 21 million viewers PER GAME every week. There are literally hundreds of millions of fans of the nfl, but even a subject so popular can’t maintain a healthy community on lemmy, how are these niche topics supposed to stand a chance at survival?
In addition to the target date funds, there are some very basic funds through every broker. Some big ones like SPX and QQQ track directly with the s&p and NASDAQ. Every etf will have a theme (tech, biotech, industrial, energy, etc.) And should have a short description on them. Find something that fits your fancy if you have an industry you really believe in
