TD Ameritrade for stocks. Vanguard for index funds. I’ve had better luck with letting $ sit in an S&P500 index fund for a few years, than with fooling around with individual stocks. YMMV.

Theft, yes. There are other leaks, such as a lazy or rushed employee discarding broken merch without reporting it. Also, customer satisfaction trumps other policies. That is not just PR. If anything about the POS system annoys a customer fo

Long ago, I was a department manager at Walmart. Keeping the database even within the ballpark of real inventory was a labor-intensive, annoying, never-done task. My full-time job was struggling to make the point-of-sale replenishment work

As someone with many lifelong creative outlets, I can think of 3 reasons to create. 1. You love doing it for it’s own sake 2. You can’t help it 3. You believe in your heart you have something to say that must be said. You may well be delusi

More than 90% of things that are new to me disappoint me. I don’t know how to find new things, especially fiction, with the expectation that it will hold my interest. Whereas something new from my favorite author has much better odds, and r

I’m as surprised at your surprise! I’ve seen The Office in its entirety more than 10 times, my other favorite shows 3-5 times each, and most generally popular shows at least twice. Often when a new season arrives, I start again at season 1

This headline by itself could be a stand-alone Simpsons joke.

There’s plenty of room for idiotic behavior within the broad category of consensual sex.

Based on experience, I say find the least mission critical skunkworks at a BigCo / FAANMG. Something the executives get a five minute report on once a year, and they don’t care. Bonus: get the same Corp-wide performance / compensa

Heck, I bristle as it is when people equate the internet with the web!

Every dictionary definition of the word I’m looking at right now includes the words “original”, “originality”, or “not imitated.” I think the word “prolific” applies to what TikTok facilitates, much more than the word “creative.” And person

If only you knew. Literally all I do in my old age is listen to everybody and try to work out where they’re coming from. I thought long and hard about my rebuttal, and I might have almost had a pretty good one. But instead I’ll just say tha

This is the most standard of social justice talking points. I don’t like it at all. But putting that aside, how would I go about determining whether it’s true? Take all y’all’s word for it? Listen and believe? Read exclusively intersectiona

Well, "beta releases" never for one moment reminded me of my failures in dating or leadership. But, to tangentially riff on your point, white straight cis males could never be recognized as even being capable of having such feelin

It’s a small point, but there’s a ton of full nudity on YT. It just can’t be intentionally pornographic.

Interesting. I haven’t tried it, but there’s a really specific set of sites it would need to crawl in order to achieve maximum chaos.

When I was a little kid I went to a fundamentalist baptist church that worked exactly like this. If a deacon learned that someone wore a skirt above the knee, or listened to a pop song, that person was excommunicated. If anyone then contact

Peach-pink people aren’t white, and brown people are not black in the first place. Why do self-styled anti-racists not seem to have any problem with that? Why not start there instead of changing the deep symbolism of the colors black and wh

I’ve been wondering when we’ll see a service that lets you upload a headshot from the company directory or Facebook, and returns every nude of that person that ever found its way onto the internet.

I don't understand this. You make it sound as if other trades and professions are about getting invited to parties.

As an indie game programmer, I cast magic spells and speak living worlds into existence. Pretty romantic. As a paid software developer taking tasks and bugs off backlogs, justifying everything I do, no autonomy, forbidden to refactor, docum

You and I have very different ideas of what the word ‘proof’ means. I have no doubt this is how it looks to you. From where I sit, we have theism and a lot of nebulous thought experiments that gel with the way religious minds already think,
