@ghostweb3@JacobKinge Bitcoin is still 15% of my portfolio, I just hate the cult like and delusional attitude that so many have.
There’s plenty of reasons to be bullish on Bitcoin. But everyone chanting “If YoU bOuGhT iN 2009 tHoUgH” is retard behavior.
@ghostweb3@JacobKinge The returns since 2009 mean absolutely nothing. Very few people bought at those levels and you can’t buy at those levels now. An investment doing well 17 years ago isn’t a reason to buy it today.
@TheEcho13 You should absolutely not live as if you’re single while in a committed relationship.
If a guy liking a bikini pic is cheating then surely posting a bikini pic for other men to like is cheating as well.
@Hestia_Esq@AdrianAnnMiller No, I work in finance too and there are entire teams that specialize in retirement processing as a result of divorce. Every account has a value associated with dollar amount the date of the marriage.
@Hestia_Esq@AdrianAnnMiller Keep in mind any appreciation after marriage is not considered a premarital asset. It’s only the cash value at the time of marriage that is protected.
@proserpinah@crapfabulous@UsingLyft Look if you were in an abusive relationship and the extent of your analysis was “he was nice to me” then either 1. You’re making this up or 2. You REALLY need to do some more reflection.
Look, obviously you didn’t deserve that, but I encourage you to reflect on that and learn what you can do to avoid those situations in the future. You don’t want to wander through life powerless to the world around you. That will leave you confused and fearing everyone if you have the mindset that abusers can do whatever they want and you have no ability to stop them.
I’m saying this as someone who had a very abusive father.
1. I hate the argument that abusers are normal people who hide who they are only to randomly flip a switch later on. The red flags are ALWAYS present from the start. The problem is women ignore them for one of two reasons. The first is that they’re entranced by the physical. “But he’s so tall, so fit, the sex is so good”. The second one is that they see the red flags but think they can change him or he’ll be different for them.
Getting into an abusive relationship is a choice to ignore those red flags.
2. Nobody chooses to get abused but people choose to continue to get abused. It is ALWAYS an option to leave the relationship.
@proserpinah@crapfabulous@UsingLyft Where are you getting this “deserving” from lmao, you’re literally replying to a thread in which another woman admitted that women will end up in abusive or controlling relationships simply because the man has the physical traits they want
@proserpinah@crapfabulous@UsingLyft Many women choose to be abused instead of dating someone who doesn’t meet their physical standards, that’s an unfortunate reality. Doesn’t mean they deserve it.
On a large scale yes there’s an imbalance. Remember the stats that went around where 60% of men in their 20’s were single compared to 30% of women? Or how 28% of men haven’t had sex in the past year compared to 18% of women?
All stats indicate that many women are sleeping with comparatively fewer men.
So in a circular way you prove my point and agree with me. You admit at the end that despite those concerns women still consciously choose abusive and controlling men simply because of their masculine (physical) traits.
The origin of this entire thread was saying women define romantic love as a strictly physical and sexual type of desire where emotion plays little to no part.
@dustytesla@edgecase411@01Ananto Yeah when I first got my model 3 I mostly used self driving but soon realized it was actually really fun to drive too. The acceleration gets me every time.
I think you seriously underestimate how important looks are to women compared to men. I don’t know where this notion came from that men care about looks and women care about personality because it’s actually the complete opposite.
If you just look at the data men swipe right on 50-60% of women but women only swipe right on 5-10% of men. For men physical attractiveness is a very easy box to check so they put much more weight on personality. Notice the meme going around right now that men just want a girl who’s nice to them? That’s going viral because it’s not just a meme.
I’m on the shorter side, 5’6”, and it was never an issue to me, but it’s been a serious issue to women I’ve dated in the past. There was one girl I was really close with, and she told my best friend “he’s the perfect guy, I could just never date someone that short” and she proceeded to get in an abusive relationship with a tall guy.
