To be fair, this Finnish trip is a solid 70 km shorter than the Texas trip, Google is just predicting it will take you longer.

The east-west trip in Texas from Orange to El Paso is 1380 km, but only takes about 12.5 hours because a big chunk of the highway has an 80 mph (130 kph) speed limit

How is he doing "less than the bare minimum?"

[–] protist@mander.xyz 6 points 1 year ago (6 children)

That...shouldn't be possible. You might have miscalculated

"Worth" is a stretch. That's a fully unrealized sum of money that will continue to shrink as shares are sold

To be fair, "Texas" is in no way doing anything here, people in Texas's urban areas are doing this (urban areas which are often at odds with the state). If Abbott or Patrick were involved, they'd probably mandate that no one was allowed to turn lights off in order to "prop up the energy sector" or some bullshit

Not even a little 😕 Who exactly is telling you to invest your money instead of buying groceries?

You should probably go up top there and change where you said "I just had this conversation with my daughter yesterday"....

Egad man, what is happening in your head

You're misunderstanding my point. I'm saying it's not healthy to tell your young child explicitly that you're making this choice between buying them a toy or saving for retirement. This conversation started with you saying you just had that conversation with your daughter yesterday.

No, I've never paid attention to when you're online, I just see you average 100 comments and posts per day. I still think telling your daughter that you're spending $30/month on her instead of saving for retirement is not healthy.

You were telling your daughter that you're spending $30/mo on her to make her happy instead of saving it for your old age? I don't know how you communicated that, but on the surface that does not sound like a healthy thing to tell a child.

If you're worried about providing your daughter a fulfilling childhood, maybe also consider prioritizing time with her? You spend a lot of time on Lemmy dude, is that time you could be spending with her? Or are you on your phone a lot when you're with her?
