Casey Stewart17 said:What kind of robbery? Have you not been paying attention to what's happening in the world lately? Funds are inherently volatile investments. You're overestimating the loss.

That’s exactly the point. People are complaining because they're being forced into high-risk plays.

William Mitchell2 said:Man, you’re lecturing people on things you clearly don't understand.
You want to stash it under a mattress? Or just let it rot in a savings account? ...
With inflation sitting at 3-5%, if it climbs any higher, they'll bleed your account dry long before you ever reach whatever "dream amount" you're aiming for in 20, 30, or 40 years.

You'll have plenty in the bank $100 but you'll only be able to afford a single bag of pepper with it.

He's got a point. It's his money, and he should be allowed to spend it however he damn well pleases. Making these types of funds mandatory is just foolish. If he wants to buy an old steam locomotive and burn fuel with dollars or euros, let him.
Mandatory funds shouldn't exist. If someone wants to save, they should do it their own way. If they don't want to, then they can deal with the consequences later. For those who physically can't save, that's a different issue entirely, which is why Social Security exists.

I've been playing in stocks, commodities, and gold for a long time. I was even messing around with shipping futures before that became a trendy pastime for Americans. Personally, I prefer making my own calls. If I blow it all, so be it. At least I'll know exactly how it happened and who to blame. As long as the game was interesting. 😉

hiddenhawk3 said:I totally misread you 😁 I thought you meant you get bored with everything super fast, like your brain is always looking for the next thing and you can't focus on anything for long. 🙂

And why on earth would birds be hungry around an engineer?😉 😕

Yeah, that’s true. Honestly, this is more of a psychology topic than anything else. I tend to pick things up incredibly fast, which usually means I get bored just as quickly. It isn't just about my career, either—it's a pattern in everything I do. Even when it comes to women.
My biggest issue is that I read way too fast. It’s rare for me to spend more than a single day on any given book.
I don't even like saying it out loud. It ends up making me sound like I'm bragging about how smart I am or how everything just comes easy to me.

Why on earth would birds be hungry for engineers? 😉😕

A farmer’s gotta plow deeper to get any real results. 😉

shadowtrucker18 said:I suppose your random flirting with women probably isn't exactly on-topic here.

For instance, zebra started this thread about tablet misuse quite nicely. I didn't actually open this topic with that specific intention—to be honest, I'm not entirely sure what I was thinking or why I even started it—but since it's already live, we could either try to steer the conversation in that direction or just let it fade into oblivion.

😂😂 Brilliant conclusion. Truly.

I didn't start this thread with that intention; honestly, I don't even know why I posted it or what I was thinking.

Well, now I know one person who wouldn't have shown up here even by total accident. 😳

shadowtrucker18 said:MODERATOR, go easy on them!! thanks.

But seriously, what kind of responses would actually be considered on-topic here?

hiddenhawk3 said:Well, maybe just go find a therapist then ☕

Is it really "abnormal" to want to get married and have a family running around the house?
This forum is plenty for me. Thanks for the concern.

hiddenhawk3 said:Just get yourself a wife.☕

Don't get my hopes up. It’s always the same story after a few weeks anyway. Tough luck. 😁

hiddenhawk3 said:Better late than never, I guess🤣 or maybe it's never too late.🙂
Looks like someone was messing with my profile settings.😁

It was a long time ago, back when you were obsessed with finding ways to make easy money through economics. The mind is a dangerous playground.
As for digging around, you're right—a bottle is usually a person's best friend.

@shadowtrucker18

Shush and deal with it.

shadowtrucker18 said:I mean, I'm not entirely sure, but I think you've overplayed that whole bit about the bourbon a little too much already.

It’s my first time using this site, but I’m not going to apologize for being an alcoholic.

shadowtrucker18 said:Please, I’m asking you, don't derail this thread. This is my very first post on this entire PDF, so if you could just show a little bit of courtesy regarding post counts, I would appreciate it.🙄

Yeah, what could they even say that actually stays on topic with the original post? 😲

hiddenhawk3 said:Maybe I should start drinking too. 😛

What? Only just hitting 25?

brightmason80 said:but whiskey triggers all sorts of different issues...🙄

They aren't. You have no idea what real moonshine feels like.

shadowtrucker18 said:I’m certainly not out here handing out medical advice regarding brandy—where on earth would you get that idea? I suppose all I’m really saying is: just start drinking. Whether that means whiskey, coffee, an electrolyte drink, a beer, or even some prescription meds... well, that’s really your business, not mine.

You definitely meant ExxonMobil,

shadowtrucker18 said:Well, I clearly wasn't. lol. 🤣

It's a bit embarrassing, really. I was actually convinced I hadn't even sent the post and that the whole thing was just some strange dream. I suppose I’ve just been staring at blank screens for days on end, and then suddenly, everything starts shifting—like colors just beginning to bleed together out of nowhere. Uh. 😲

Is the issue really admitting you went overboard on the bourbon, just like you tell everyone else to do?

fadedeagle39 said:Just so you guys know, Nicole Collins13 used to work for the FBI.😁

OSS, darling, OSS...😍

mistycyclist5 said:I'm with him on this one. I want to see if my own file has been padded out too.😁

Maybe you’ll get permission, but don't expect to take it home. You won't be able to photocopy it, copy-paste it, or anything else. You'll only be allowed to look at it while an authorized official is standing right there. 🤣🤣

fadedeagle39 said:A puppet regime—what even is that? Honestly, I feel like America is acting a bit like one today. But when I voice that opinion with my naive 14-year-old mindset, people attack me. Then I just get defensive because it’s easier than living in this bleak, narrow-minded world...

Instead of using your brain to look at those healthcare PDFs or explaining actual medical reform to us, you're wasting time on fairy tales and witches. I honestly don't see the point.
See how much effort I put into explaining our energy future to everyone? It’s just as grim and limited as your little worldview. 😠
Sometimes I genuinely think people come to this forum to learn something new, but then reality hits me with how wrong I am. 😢

Anyway, thanks for such a detailed character study. I've fallen in love with myself; you described me so beautifully... I think I'll spend the rest of my life with myself. 😁 And why do you think I'm chubby? Just so you know, blonde hair looks great on tall women... and red, for the same reason. 😍

Please, let me keep the best details to myself so you don't get an ego. 🙂 I'm sure you're as lovely as you are charming. 😍

Alright, enough drifting off-topic or being random. At least we spared the LJES crowd from another endless debate about an impossible mission. 😍

Nemogucoj, you say? 🙂 Take it easy. I'll be at your doorstep soon enough. Just you wait. 🙂

fadedeagle39 said:Thanks, really... Look, I'm not exactly praising puppet regimes here... where did you get that from? I just don't care for the partisans.🙄..and I have a soft spot for the guys who went hard against the paramilitaries..plus, I feel bad about the Jews killed by the partisans..and honestly, the Ustaše were pretty cool because they started out illegal, then became legal, then went back to being illegal again..😁..it's pretty interesting..and I love wearing black, but that's not political, it just looks good on me..red looks good too..Am I a little off? But the Ustaše were totally cool..they were the legalists, unlike those partisans..

So you aren't praising the Ustaše or puppet regimes. Damn! 😢 I was almost going to start a thread on LJES titled "I fell for an older woman because of her logical fallacies, how she twists everything in the New York Times, her stubborn and argumentative attitude, the way her speech screams 'naive 14-year-old girl,' all the typos and grammar mistakes in her heated arguments, and how she bites her nails whenever she hits a post that disagrees with her—and to top it off, she's a doctor, and you're supposed to respect people like that."
Ever since then, she's been wearing black just to look thinner. She's chunky. 👎

My apologies for getting off-topic. How do you say off-topic in American? 🙂

fadedeagle39 said:I've added a few more details... so, talk soon.👋

My inbox is always open to you, even if you decide to turn traitor one day. 🙂

fadedeagle39 said:We really ought to issue bans for using non-American languages on this forum. Especially regarding the baseless attacks on American historical figures, whether they’re from the past or recent history. And I'm not even getting banned constantly while I'm being perfectly polite. The only thing I say is that a paramilitary is a paramilitary, and goodness me... when it comes to...

What about bans for bad grammar, typos, or sentence structures that don't fit the spirit of the American language? 😍

But if you're polite and sweet—which you are, my dearest forum member. :inlove:
