What's Your Investment Strategy?
My grandfather died a millionaire. He worked in the South Tower of the World Trade Center on floors 90 and 94-97, just 5 floors above where the plane hit on 9/11. I am no finance expert, but I gather that my grandfather was a serious holder of stocks, holding onto them until the very end, as he believed he would be survived by my grandmother. I have been using eToro for several years, and my current investment strategy hasn't changed (Aside from the amount) in the last 2 years. I currently allocate $350 per month onto eToro, and split the $350 into stock choices once a month of $50 each. For example, in November 2023 when returning from Las Vegas, I put $50 into Caesars Entertainment, $50 into Wynn Resorts, $50 into another Las Vegas resort, and so on. I focused on Las Vegas this particular month. And then I focused on dividend stocks the next month. I don't tend to sell my stocks. I'm very much a holder. Aside from that, I skim my main checking account when it exceeds the 5,000 mark, normally putting the excess into the stock market. I have other allocations into savings, and I have checking accounts in Canada, Peru and England. But generally, I keep checking accounts moderate and place everything else into savings/investments. What are your stock market strategies? Let's exchange knowledge.

Dividend stocks will do very well.

@Bryan Cook This problem is easily solved by automatic reinvestment of the dividends avoiding the tax issues (there are other ways but that's the easiest). If you don't need the income from the stocks that's the best way. Also, if you're looking for an extra income source (new baby, kids want to to travel ball, want to quit your job, start a business etc.) it can be helpful. If you can keep yourself within an acceptable tax bracket for the purpose, then you won't be forking over to the govt. Definitley ring the accountant or jump on TaxAct (love them) to make sure of what you're doing. **not financial advice, please consult a fiduciary for your unique situation**
Stop caring about dating to get good results.
I feel like when you stop caring if women like or not is when you get good results. In high school I did not care about dating at all and just focused on playing chess and school and I got really good at chess with a few other people in my school to the point we won tournaments and everyone knew me as one of the best chess players in the state. Then girls would come up and start conversations with me but I would not care which I believe resulted in more to approach me. It’s ok if dating is a priority but never make it your number 1 priority always have something you care more about.

@Danny Jones You can! Your life doesn't have to revolve around women and dating.

@Danny Jones It's not that you don't live for it but it can't be your focus.

I just landed a nice paying corporate sales job, and I have to dress business casual. I have long hair and I am balding on top… I have people telling me to cut my air short but I don’t want to look like Fraiser since I am starting to develop his hairline… What would an appropriate business casual hair cut for a sales position be where I can have some what long hair that is slicked back and perhaps filled in with some hair fiber? Currently I look like Sebastian Bach from skid row, trying to go for the sons of anarchy slicked back kinda short hair. I start in 10 days so I got a few days to figure something out…

I would keep it short, a fade will help you with the hair line situation but you have to maintain it. Definitely follow Charlie Hunnam, the Frasier will make you look dated.

@Kyle Mullaney the bun idea can be good. On the bright side, now you got the good job you can look at restoring your hairline (if you so choose).
This is your brain on pot, and THIS is your brain on GPT…
When I was in 3rd grade, I questioned why I could not use a calculator to do basic arithmetic. My teachers told me calculators are for people doing high level mathematics that need to reduce their work load to focus their brains on the complex parts of the more complicated math problems… I have been using chat gpt since it first came out many years ago, I was building an AI sales bot using light speed as the interactive shell to customize supplement regimens and work out plans for consumers along with general life advice for optimizing their performance for those using my products… because I was not selling supplements that got people off meth and replaced steroids, I was selling cognitive and physical life improvements… Today most people are using chat gpt in the same way I wanted to use a graphing calculator to do arithmetic in 3rd grade… as a replacement for using your brain… You see copy writing and adds becoming more and more “salesy” and less authentic. Perfectly written sentences devoid of insight and intellectual depth… You see people writing blog posts that look like google search results blasted into well written strings of soulless words… When I use AI for writing (not this article) I write my entire article FIRST, structure my essays with tact and direction. Plus a little flare… THEN I use AI to do SPECIFIC tasks with my original writing… I ask AI to not change the sentiment of what I wrote, but reduce the FK score (readability) to a 4th grade level, to increase scan ability and focus on drawing attention to key aspects of my essay… I Ask it to write its own version researching the topics I talk about citing references to I can gain further insight into topics I’ve already researched… I also ask it to write in specific voices for specific audiences based on Reddit threads and IG comments from specific psychographics and THEN I will read to output, and tweak it where I feel it went too far with dumbing it down or making jokes I find inappropriate or offense…

I think you have to use ChatGPT to open new lines of inquiry. Right now, we're rolling out a tool with a company called XpertLoop and they make custom agents for our authors based on their existing library of work. It's suprisingly good and I think that is how AI should be. I'm shocked at how people are outsourcing their thinking skills to ChatGPT.
2 million swipes and one date
I just found this gem on twitter.....its really sad. This poor guy needs help immediately. He swiped 2 million times on Tinder and only got one day. And yes, before you ask, there's a picture of him with a fish. https://x.com/babygravy9/status/1922727628064129475?s=46&t=B9f9Cw1P4S58vZn_LcOJ3g I'm not a huge fan of the apps (met my ex on Tinder though) and it is such a crap shoot. However, people do mention in the replies that better clothes, less about his life at the lake and nicer cars are the key. Why is everything a game of status and value? When does the "intrinsic value of being human" start in dating?

@Tahsin Okudan Yeah, that was the chief criticism. I love the fish photos but women hate them with a fiery passion. For men it screams provider, for women, it's a complete turn off which I find interesting.
