Greetings,

Hi, I'm a US based, mid 30s, Linux user.

I mainly hold a lot of $SCHD in my brokerage but I feel like I should possibly diversify. I don't know a lot about REITs and I have none in my portfolio. I also have little tech exposure as $SCHD doesn't buy much. So, I complement it with a bit of $QQQM.

$QQQM has almost no dividend. I don't generally want to sell any stocks. I looked into $JEPI but it seems to not keep up with the market. My goal is to never sell because of Tax reasons. I'm definitely more of a dividend investor.

I don't want to get much exposure to healthcare. Ever since late last year I think the industry has been heavily under heavy scrutiny. I don't expect it to do as well. Plus, I don't like the idea of making money off people who are sick.

I like the idea of having a second source of income. I live very frugally and had 5 jobs in 5 years. I think I settled on a great place to work; but the fear and concerns from layoffs are always there. It's nice having a soft cushion of dividends.

I have a 401k largely investing in fortune 500.

I was would like input from others.

I made the unfortunate post about asking why people liked Arch so much (RIP my inbox I'm learning a lot from the comments) But, what is the best distro for each reason?

RIP my inbox again. I appreciate this knowledge a lot. Thank you everyone for responding. You all make this such a great community.

Also why does everyone seem to hate on Ubuntu?

How do less banked people charge an electric car?

Context: I don't own an electric car yet. I don't have a credit card due to identity theft.

Is Linux and WoW like oil and water?

I'm running this on a laptop with a 4070. I'm getting like 7fps in something I should be getting in the hundreds of fps with.

Then I rebooted and it's like the whole thing disappeared. I'm not a full linux guy... Yet.

Any advice would be appreciated. I was using Nobara.

This is assuming it's sealed and has a proper stamp. Post cards are more expensive than cheese. And who doesn't like cheese right?

I once saw an ad looking to hire someone with a BA that knew 3 computer programming languages for $8 an hour.

Figure out their name. Figure out the conversation. Join in. Example:

Ashleigh! Don't tell your husband about our passionate romantic relationship!

Ashley: I don't know you!

Example Me: Ashleigh! You said you were leaving him, it's him or me!

Ashley: Go away this is none of your business!

Example Me: Ashleigh, Don't act like you don't know me. I've seen 100% of you not that long ago!

Be the chance you want in this world.

AI Weapon Detector is a thing? What the heck?

Oh no, they may be forced to put out likable candidates?

I have a friend who has a prosthetic. Sure they could live their life in a wheelchair. But this guy goes hiking, and acts like a fully capable walking person. The quality of life is huge. It really gives back their life.

Yeah. I already informed them I don't feel comfortable with it in the house. But I'm also the type to use TOR on all my devices. So I don't know how paranoid that came off as.

I think I am going to try to trace down where they got it from. I'm thinking Walmart so, they may take it without a receipt I hope.

People keep giving me steak house gift cards.

I'm a vegetarian. I can only eat a roll there.

[-] POTOOOOOOOO@reddthat.com 40 points 1 year ago

I was vegan for about 8 years. I just don't bring it up often. I don't tell people I am a vegetarian. It's not a bragging point. It's just one part of who I am. Don't make it your whole identity.

Hi. I hope my own experience can help you. I have a whole bunch of learning disabilities and very bad anxiety/panic issues. I graduated high school with a 5th grade reading level; and frankly I was pissed. No one should have fallen between the cracks as much as I did.

I got stubborn and angry and I did something about it. I refused to let life just push me down and accept it. It's a bumpy, rocky, uphill climb. But you can do it.

IQ doesn't mean crap. I encourage you to go out there. Walk outside. And be pissed off at everyone who told you that you were not good enough. Now imagine proving them wrong. Let that guide you a bit.

Feel free to PM me if you want to talk. I've been in your shoes. It does 100% get better.
