2025.01.23 00:05 No_Put_8503 The Craziest Bet in the Worldđđđđ
Several years ago, I listened to a man throw himself a full-blown pity party when it came to the subject of personal finances. The guy was flat broke and âliving the dream,â as they say, but somewhere in his WHOA-IS-ME monologue, I heard him ask a pair of rhetorical questions: âHow do all these people go from nothing to millions?â âWhy is it that everything they touch always turns to gold?â I knew the answer to both, but I kept my mouth shut. And for good reason, beings there was no way to let the guy in on such a universal secret without completely exposing the gaping character flaw that I knew controlled not only the manâs heart, but more importantly, his wallet. Afterall, nobody wants some smartass with a mental-health record to hold up a mirror and yell, âLOOK!â Unfortunately, itâs not just him. I run into people every day with the same problem. They never learned from Charles Dickens, and because of it, theyâll always walk through life in a state of wonderâif not envyâwhen the invisible leprechauns of the cosmos suddenly rain down lucky charms on some random janitor, farmer, machinist, or bet yet, an unsuspecting mental patient whoâs done five tours in the Vanderbilt psychiatric ward. Hell, yes. Iâm crazy. And Iâm open about it too, which is why Iâm still struggling to understand why someone in Bulgaria or Argentina would take time out of their busy day to ponder on the thoughts and observations of a caveman. Regardless, it is appreciated. And Iâm trying my best to share a few stories that I hope are potent enough to stick. Funny thing isâŠ. No matter where you call homeâŠ. AfricaâŠ. AustraliaâŠ. EuropeâŠ. CanadaâŠ. The same laws govern all of humanity. Doesnât matter if you agree with them or not, gravity and generosity will always work to the benefit of the person who chooses to GET LOW. Try it sometime. Because the longer you stay down there, with your face on the floor and your ass in the air, the more gravity will begin to dissolve that dreaded fear of losing, which always paralyzes the unprepared from seizing lifeâs rare moments of opportunity. The more a person gives. The more their secret acts of generosity will begin to condition that person to accept âlossâ as the Foundation for a Better Life. And after a couple of decades spent paying a weekly tuition for an advanced degree from this imaginary community college, I can honestly sayâwith confidenceâif you choose to attend the same school of life, youâll eventually wake up one morning to find yourself in possession of the instincts, intuition, and the means to Pass It On. Or, at least, thatâs what I believe. Probably sounds crazy. And Iâm sure Frady probably thought the same thing, way back in 2015, when I offered a similar suggestion that I knew would change his life forever, if he cared to apply it. Truth be known, I probably should have let it go, because I knew Frady wasnât the kind of person who would ever understand, that is, unless the comedy of life decided to smack him across the face with a wet skunk, which he dearly deserved. Why? For constantly bitching about regular people with hardships who âdidnât pay taxes.â The homeless with government cellphones. Single moms who relied on food stamps and welfare. This group. That group. Blah. Blah. BlahâŠ. Once I finally had my fill, I picked an argument, which would force me to leave my convictions at the altar of fate. Truth is, back then, we were all in a tough spot. But while Frady spent the half the afternoon blaming just about everybody in the world for our misfortunes, I thought about the irony in it all. Hell, it couldnât have been all that bad, considering him and three others were making $42/hour to sit on their ass and play spades. Sure, all of us were upset at the plant closing and the uncertainty that came with not knowing how far weâd have to travel to find work once the last units came offline. Feelings of fear. Worry. I guess each one of us handled the threat of unemployment in different ways. Some stayed busy. Some read books. Still, others spent day after day studying the seniority list and searching eBay for a used camper that would soon become their home away from home. But not Frady. He just bitched for the sake of bitching. Forget the plantâs archaic technology and sheer age. The idiot who just played the 3 of hearts had a solution for everything. Politics! Which was typical, due to the EPA consent decree that was about shutter the facility. But what disillusioned 20-something-year-old would actually go so far as to blame those under the poverty line for him not being able to play cards for forty more years and retire at a coal-fired power plant that was built during the Eisenhower administration? âShit, Frady. I got a $2,500 refund on my taxes last year.â Frady look over his cards in disbelief. âOh, bullshit, Tweedle!â âYeah, try it sometime,â I said. âBecause if you donât like the way the government is spending your tax dollars, all youâve got to do is give away about 10% of your annual income to charity, then write it off on your taxes. Of course, itâs not a dollar-for-dollar deduction, but youâll end up getting back about $.25 cents on the dollar.â At first, Frady and all his card-playing buddies thought I was joking. Because they never suspected the plantâs biggest tightwad, who drove the shittiest vehicle in the parking lot, was actually giving away twice as much money to philanthropy as he was putting in his own retirement account. But I didnât care. I let them roar. And when theyâd finally got done laughing, and telling me how stupid I was, I pointed straight at Frady and said, âI know the math doesnât work. And I canât prove it now. But Iâll bet you a paycheck, Frady, that in 10 yearsâ time, no matter where we land after this plant closes, if we meet up and compare our net worth, I promise ya, there wonât be any comparison.â Frady laughed, and took the bet. Then the plant closed. We got new jobs. And I went on to lose my mind, live in a cave, and make friends in a nuthouse. But here in 2025, despite being knocked down and having the absolute shit kicked out of me by a flurry of mental-health challenges, I must confessâŠ. After all these years, Iâve often wondered, Frady. âDo you like apples?â submitted by No_Put_8503 to CountryDumb [link] [comments] |

2025.01.23 00:05 mayberryzengarden 30/360 convention on bond pricing
I have a question regarding 30/360 convention on bond pricing.
Say the bond starts trading Jan 1st, and on both Jan 30th and 31st, the bond will accrue 30 days of interest on both days. Since we calculate the clean price on the 30/360 day convention as well, the clean price will be the same on Jan 30th and 31st. So dirty price quoted for the bond will be the same for Jan 30th and Jan 31st. But doesn't this mean there is an arbitrage?
Am I missing something?

2025.01.23 00:05 zoepup15 is being a vet as awful as iâve heard?
every time i come across someone on here asking if they should become a vet everyone says that itâs awful and not worth it. i love animals and iâd specifically like to be an exotic vet, but i know that market isnât huge so id also work with regular pets. im not super squeamish and i think id be able to handle euthanizing. the main thing that worries me is when people choose not to take the vets advice and it ends up harming their pet. iâm not sure how common that is (im sure it is common though, people kinda suck sometimes), and i think that would probably bother me the most. do yall think the pros outweigh the cons, or would i be better off just working as a vet tech?

I handcraft unique outerwear pieces from secondhand and preloved fabrics. I opened an Etsy shop in November to share my creative endeavours with the world :) https://jzpstitchcraftca.etsy.com The main fabric for this one was a tapestry blanket I thrifted; the herringbone fabric, lining, and suede under-collar were obtained through a fabric swap; and the trim was bias tape made with a cotton from my stash. submitted by CorvidiaPex to somethingimade [link] [comments] |
2025.01.23 00:05 Present_Hat7535 Constant DNS Error
Hey I donât use Reddit too often so the format isnât too much my style but Iâve been having this consistent issue where a DNS Error just keeps popping up even after Iâve simply just restarted my console. Iâve even gone out my way to restart the WiFi router and still no dice.
I can say the time this started happening as an issue was around some time me and some friends were game sharing a lot and recently we wanted to play 2K and it seemed to run flawlessly for a while till the friend I got the game off on ran out of PS Plus around the same time I did and thatâs when just everything started breaking down.
Sometimes it would temporarily fix but itâs gotten to a point where even temporaryâs donât work anymore and im just really not sure what to do anymore I canât even invite people to things without it being an error or sometimes my games wont even have my licensing to them for some reason or I wont even be able to start a party or let alone join one.
Honestly begging for a hand here because I really am not sure what to do anymore
(P.S. I have deactivated my PS5 a while ago before so I canât really do that again at least to my knowledge as you gotta wait about 6 months before you can do it again so thatâs already off the list. Would appreciate any help I can get.)

2025.01.23 00:05 Pizzavogel Afraid of own energy?
I don't know how to describe it exactly, but since doing this practice i notice a few things that sometimes make me kind of agitated:
It's for example something like an electric feeling in the chest area, like noise or lightning if you would visualize it.
Or it is some kind of exited, dopaminergic (for lack of a better word) warmth and lightness in the belly.
Or it is a kind of powerful/energetic feeling in the pelvic area.
Am I afraid of it because maybe i had to suppress my own "energy"/ authentic self (or whatever you want to call it) most of my life? Maybe wasting it by cheap dopamine rushes, just to get it out of my body because i couldn't tolerate it?
Any similar experiences?
