so me and my bf explore lots of kinks together, but lately i feel like he’s jjst been straight up degrading and violating me.
even though i said i don’t like this, he pisses inside me and when i get upset at him he says he couldn’t help it cuz he was cumming too. he’s also lately really into me playing a dog. he has put a leash and collar on me a couple of times while i’ve been asleep, and once when we were having sex on our patio he said he wanted me to walk around on all fours and piss on the grass. i have expressed that i don’t like this playing animal kink and piss kink but he keeps pressuring me. we were also using nipple clamps on me for the first time, and he pressed them too tight, to the point i was practically crying because of the pain, but instead of helping me take them off, he used the chain as like a leash and pulled me, as if he was walking a dog. there’s also some more stuff if you guys wanna hear it but i don’t wanna make this too long. what’s the best way to approach this situation?? | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-05-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jbGllR29iV2JzOHNzV3NGWXVfQXNmYUJLdko0N3BqRXFRdHBrZU9UV1V0VzYzbkVoVGNmQ242RjRXdzVNYWRINk5KcmxsVDZndk9nUFVIakstMmEzcjFRcUZuY0diV2lTeW9XY25kdk1EQVk9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kT3E2MUVhMzdlRzkybGNWOVpaRkVZTHZ1LTZlM2ZHaGE2SVlMRDJ1dnNTQnRLTmxWTV80ek4wTDcxZ1JwSTExbGQ1RlRjcnJ2TjZkUFpheXNPSDZyUmFtdEV4b0FnMjVyNFkwQW1xSUtvZVMtMXM4ZUFkei1OZnVodkJRSjVzZTcyWUEtTXhMRUdqeG9vQjNFRzUxVXBDRDN4M1BoNjBqVC0za1V3NEtYY3ZKUE50NU15YUhnaWx6S1BKU0paYTJRN21KVG44RGNDeTZCQnIzeU4yUjgxZz09 |

I (24F) need help responding to a close friend who just sent me a text message saying her fiancé caught her snapchatting her ex. She was supposed to marry her fiancé in 4 months, and now she says he’s dumped her and now she feels very regretful and ashamed. She also said she hopes my husband and I don’t think differently of her. I’m just in shock and don’t know how to respond to this or if I even should respond right now. I would really appreciate any advice from anyone who has been in this situation! | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-05-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jSVFXbWxmYkJ2dnJOb2dXMEppX1hfMnVacGJsU2FlY3NCUnp2MV9DeEhYS0t6cGtQb0w2WGJyNFA4SkxkNGd2aXdEUWZTUE81eDdkbS14UDZ4ZEhuelE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kUklNb1l5S2dkbHpMMzVkM2RaaWhQaFNxTGY2UWN1MVkxbU1aUk5vaXUxQVNXTm0wSVpWZG5fZVItbEt4RGNpQjk4NERuUkI1YWI3VDd0RE1mdzU5SkVLU3YtNUpGamRsQVl2RGxQOXNuT0xYdXNpTzNmMFlvYW5MbGQwYWJNbzMxb0ZNOTZLWVk0Wm5nTmcxSnJOYXRxS0VQY09Ham54b2VQQjJMOE5TbmlweldqcHh0OHhQaVN4bUlyRHNGVE1FakFhdW50eHFzUDFmai1EZEY3REozQT09 |
I went to the only public driving range/course today. It’s 87°F and sunny, so I threw on a pair of golf shorts and a tennis style t-shirt.
Got to the clubhouse and paid the man $8 for a small bucket of balls. After payment, he goes “hey do me a favor next time and wear a collared shirt”
This threw me off a bit so I asked if he meant just to use the driving range as well? That’s when the other guy behind the desk chimed in and said “FOR THE ENTIRE FACILITY!”
So my question: is this normal for y’all? I want to get some practice in, but also don’t want to do so uncomfortably. I was sweating my ass off in my breathable t-shirt. Yes, the shirt has sleeves and is not dirty or raggedy.
Also, is every single clubhouse employee a dick?

this has def been asked before but i need some direct reassurance that im making the correct choice & how to go about it. i’ve been dating him for about a year and a half, however ive noticed he has a problem with lying. ive directly caught him in one big one, and there’s been a few other things that i have a very strong suspicion about (he is a horrible liar), but i cannot prove. due to this i don’t think i trust him, and that’s not fair to me nor him. i think ive also grown resentful because there are these things i know he’s lying about but i just can’t prove it, but they irk me to my CORE.
how do i break up with him. i know i technically just go to his house and do it. but i just don’t know what to say to him, like, at all. i’ve never broken up with anyone before, and i worry that i’ll go there with the intention of doing it but then not actually do it. i wish i could do it over text or even a call but i worry that may be disrespectful.
another issue here is that he owes me money, about $500 which is a lot for me as a student. how do i ask for that back while also breaking up with him? | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-05-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jcVdpQWtCb3Vfc05HeXJJM0MxeC1sdWU1YlZYZzdFMXNaaVd5bFJXblZ2c1oxYTRXczhKMS1BR1lCai1nalpmbHA4M3E0c0xlWm1OaFlOQ1poc19Dbmc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5ka21kdWFoVVQyV3d3YnRwd1V3RTFfSTNQdXJxUHdjVG5QQ3J4QUFrZmFQR0xrM2Ezbm5xSmZsSExJQ29JeWxzRDhfanRHT0F5RkZLaEhoQU05clpSYlNNQl8wY2YwMTQ3dU42VVdhNjVWS2FIR1FjN2tRbUsxTk1SZTJxbW1MMXY1enNVVG1vUDVCc0JlRHJxc0JBekZieHJzR29yVFoxWHFJVXVCMDVSTEUtSTF0X0hCcFdHU1RwQk1ZaWFtbVVOUHYxWnBHZXFmcW1wUV80UFZjcjVmZjhTY1h2eW1BRXpLaG01VFlfVGwyTT0= |
President Donald Trump said Thursday any country or person that buys oil or petrochemicals from Iran will not be allowed to do any business with the U.S.
U.S. crude oil
futures rose $1.03, or 1.77%, to close at $59.24 per barrel, while global benchmark Brent
gained $1.07, or 1.75%, to settle at $62.13. Iran is one of the biggest oil producers in OPEC.
“Any Country or person who buys ANY AMOUNT of OIL or PETROCHEMICALS from Iran will be subject to, immediately, Secondary Sanctions,” Trump said in a post on his social media platform Truth Social. “They will not be allowed to do business with the United States of America in any way, shape, or form.”

The pardon of Paul Walczak, who had been convicted of tax crimes, comes as the president uses clemency to reward allies and swipe at perceived enemies.
President Trump has pardoned a Florida health care executive whose mother played a role in trying to expose the contents of Ashley Biden’s diary.
The pardon of the executive, Paul Walczak, was signed privately on Wednesday and posted on the Justice Department’s website on Friday. It came less than two weeks after he was sentenced to 18 months in prison and ordered to pay nearly $4.4 million in restitution, for tax crimes that prosecutors said were used to finance a lavish lifestyle, including the purchase of a yacht.
Mr. Walczak’s mother, Elizabeth Fago, who was also involved in the health care industry in Florida, is a longtime Republican donor and fund-raiser who played a role in a surreptitious effort to help Mr. Trump by undermining Joseph R. Biden Jr. in the 2020 presidential election.
During the campaign, Ms. Fago was contacted by a man who was in possession of a diary kept by Mr. Biden’s daughter, Ashley, as she recovered from addiction, The New York Times previously reported.
When first told of the diary, Ms. Fago said she thought it would help Mr. Trump’s chances of winning the election if it was made public, two people familiar with the matter later told The Times. The man, Robert Kurlander, circulated the diary at a fund-raiser at Ms. Fago’s house in Jupiter, Fla., in September 2020.
Ms. Fago’s daughter passed along a tip about the diary to Project Veritas, a conservative group that had become a favorite of Mr. Trump’s. Project Veritas later paid $40,000 to Mr. Kurlander and an associate, Aimee Harris, for the diary. | r/thescoop | post | r/thescoop | 2025-05-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jNndCdmZxWGFnRFd5Z1l5Z2xxYm83NkgwS1h0Y0wya3Fzc0w0TnJjNlF1MkJBeUQzSVdFLTNDdDd4cFdwR1BPR05ZbU5qbS1USzJybVFJRFpXblJOMHc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kb09tREhfSllNRGVnSTFWZkwybEpWNDE0QTBlUVVTMFlHRHZkYTQ1V21uSlF0bXU3WmNKcjhmMFN5QnMxWlJJc3VIYUFkTmZJWG4xckh5QXVvd2dCSkJYb1RnMUt6SERNeE9tRG92alR4R0pXZEl5TkVYWUNEdjZtWUJ3RW9XV0pCZTlRaHJvQmNCVGZRWFZWeGI0NWVnRUJ1M2FrZzdlSHk1ZWY4SnFlcUNFU2twLUNWTTZpZmJXLXJyTjhfOFAt |

Nvidia blasted Anthropic Thursday in a rare public clash over artificial intelligence policy with U.S. chip export restrictions set to take effect.“American firms should focus on innovation and rise to the challenge, rather than tell tall tales that large, heavy, and sensitive electronics are somehow smuggled in ‘baby bumps’ or ‘alongside live lobsters,’ ” a spokesperson for Nvidia said.Anthropic, the AI startup backed by billions from Amazon, argued for tighter controls and enforcement, saying in a blog post Wednesday that Chinese smuggling tactics involved chips hidden in “prosthetic baby bumps” and “packed alongside live lobsters.” | r/stocks | post | r/stocks | 2025-05-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jVVZ2UjFBQ0J0bVFyQk9KUU16T2NvVlYzV0lOajZ5eUFkdS1EN2EyR2poVHk5Ml9qV3hpRlhwSUdMY0lfa1BWUU5RYXFxSHVMS0ZoLTBFY3FpLXBxdGtPYU50ZGt6RXl5TFdBRDNrNlEwdW89 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kUzJzX3hnQTlEaDUxRnFPT054THRSMlhaU2Vnd2ZJRkstZ3FzcXhOWV9CRFAwbDRIWXg3ZUZ0VlhIZjB5ZWlvR1BuS3pBUEVQeXVubzVKRTNhb013NGpMMDJlc1NhY1BycG80X2dwNHZxaHNsVHRhekpkbG1BWUdUUXBjam9wNlBzOC1USDZ2YU9rVjdxLWRodWtweno2b2o5ZkJ4U3luWGxiME1ib3VQLUwtdTBaUzY3SUw4TXJzbHBneVBmVC1iT3ExSV85REVjVVVseTM1QWFaNVYyZz09 |

Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers said that bond-market pricing doesn’t amount to a judgment call on what the Federal Reserve ought to do with interest rates, and that it would be a “very serious error” for policymakers to ease next week. “It would have been a grave mistake to have eased already, and would be a very serious error to ease at this upcoming meeting,” Summers said on Bloomberg Television’s *Wall Street Week* with David Westin. | r/stocks | post | r/stocks | 2025-05-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jelpqYi14b3BHbmZVOHMwbFFMdmJQN0R2LVBVMEY1VW9oTXRTZ1poM3lQYzJYeFd0NmlsbXllcTQyVDRNZ0dlaW9DNnViVlBoZm5Yc09VRGNjTlByWGdqbWRuS0lWVHQ3eUctdlp5Q1R2UVU9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kc3FUZ1BoNjBGNEs4TWRnVXdZbHBUYzRzcEFIeVU4aFA1Rk1VaWN0OUtxLTZfQTYxVl9OZG55WW9veXNodGxOWUpyTXF1cVVqVEtqZ0dtVnp5dkVQOWZaWm1DTHhwYnlobzlSUmQ1dUZiQWRHcmU2bkt6M29uQ1Bka1FKdVpFaU84eUtwa0lKY1c2LXhxeThnUFNwdU9PUWxBSGVGejVNN1I2ZDN1LXgyQ0RmbFNrYzBTVG03MDFGSmF6MzRFS2k2T09qYjJ5NFl0Tk5ySllxc2JTNmR3Zz09 |
Here’s how the company did, compared with estimates from analysts polled by LSEG:
* **Earnings per share:** $1.59 vs. $1.36 estimated
* **Revenue:** $155.67 billion vs. $155.04 billion estimated
Wall Street is also looking at other key revenue numbers:
* **Amazon Web Services:** $29.3 billion vs. $29.42 billion expected, according to StreetAccount
* **Advertising:** $13.92 billion vs. $13.74 billion expected, according to StreetAccount
Amazon reported a 19% increase in online ad revenue in the first quarter, beating analyst estimates.
Ad sales climbed to $13.92 billion, while analysts on average were expecting $13.74 billion, according to StreetAccount.
The numbers were contained in Amazon’s first-quarter earnings report. The company reported total first-quarter sales of $155.67 billion, compared to Wall Street projections of $155.04 billion.
Although Amazon’s online ad business represents a fraction of overall sales, it’s emerged in recent years to become the third-biggest platform in the global digital advertising market, behind only Alphabet and Meta.
Online advertising is a particular area of focus for investors due to economic uncertainty and increasing tensions between the U.S. and China over trade. While President Donald Trump’s China tariffs will likely impact Amazon’s core retail business, the company’s online ad unit could also feel some pain.
So far, tech companies with online ad businesses have reported solid first-quarter earnings, but warned of potentially tougher times later in the year.
Meta reported stronger-than-expected first-quarter earnings this week, but said that ad sales in the Asia-Pacific region came in at $8.22 billion for the quarter, trailing analyst estimates of $8.42 billion.
Meta finance chief Susan Li said during an earnings call that “Asia-based e-commerce exporters” have slowed their online ad spending likely due to the de minimis trade loophole ending this Friday.
When Alphabet reported first-quarter earnings last Thursday, it revealed that that ad sales grew 8.5% year over year to $66.89 billion and YouTube ad revenue increased 10% to $8.93 billion. But Alphabet executives told analysts that it expects headwinds to its Asia-Pacific-focused advertising business.
Snap on Tuesday said it had “experienced headwinds to start the current quarter,” which resulted in the company saying it would not provide guidance.
Last week, Microsoft’s reported its latest quarterly earnings and said that search and news advertising sales, minus payments to its affiliates, grew 15% year over year to $449 million.

Reddit reported first-quarter earnings Thursday that beat Wall Street expectations on sales and guidance.
Shares of the social media company rose more than 16% in after-hours trading.
Here’s how the company did compared with LSEG estimates:
* **Earnings per share:** 13 cents vs. 2 cents expected
* **Revenue:** $392 million vs. $370 million expected
Reddit said its second-quarter sales should come in the range of $410 million to $430 million, ahead of Wall Street expectations of $396 million. Reddit provided the guidance and touched on the on-going trade dispute between the U.S. and China in a letter to investors, saying it is “well-positioned to meet this moment.”
“Ever-shifting macro environments like these create both challenges and opportunities,” Reddit CEO Steve Huffman wrote. “We’ve grown through challenging times before — people need connection and information just as much in uncertain times.”
Revenue during Reddit’s first quarter rose 61% year over year. Net income, meanwhile, was $26.2 million compared to a year ago when Reddit recorded a net loss of $575.1 million due to costs associated with its March 2024 initial public offering.
The company’s global daily active uniques, or DAUq, jumped 31% year over year to 108.1 million in the first quarter. Analysts were expecting 107.3 million.
Reddit has been a big beneficiary from Google search changes and internal site improvements, which has led to an influx of new and returning users, which it refers to as logged-out users. The social media firm has focused on site updates and features intended to convince logged-out users to create accounts and become logged-in users, which are more valuable to advertisers.
The company’s first-quarter global logged-in DAUq rose 23% year over year to 48.7 million, while its global logged-out DAUq jumped 38% to 59.4 million.
In February, Reddit said that a Google search algorithm change temporarily impacted the company’s user growth during the fourth quarter. Search-driven traffic soon recovered in the first quarter, the company said at the time.
Reddit isn’t the only company to weigh in on macroeconomic challenges.
Meta shares rose Thursday after the company reported first-quarter earnings that beat on the top and bottom. However, the company’s advertising sales in the Asia-Pacific region came in at $8.22 billion for the first quarter, which was lower than analysts estimates of $8.42 billion.
Susan Li, Meta’s finance chief, said that “Asia-based e-commerce exporters” have reduced their digital ad spending likely due to the de minimis trade loophole ending Friday.
Snap reported its latest earnings on Tuesday and said it “experienced headwinds to start the current quarter,” and declined to provide guidance because of macroeconomic uncertainties.
Alphabet reported first-quarter earnings last week, and said that Google Advertising sales jumped 8.5% year over year to $66.89 billion while YouTube ad sales rose 10% to $8.93 billion.

Airbnb reported results for the first quarter that were mostly in line with estimates, but the company issued a disappointing revenue forecast for the current period.
Shares declined about 4%.
Here’s how the company did compared to LSEG estimates:
* **Earnings per share:** 24 cents per share vs. 24 cents expected
* **Revenue:** $2.27 billion vs. $2.26 billion estimate.
Revenue increased 6% from about $2.1 billion a year ago. Net income fell to $154 million, or 24 cents per share, from $264 million, or 41 cents per share, in the same period a year earlier.
For the second quarter, Airbnb said it expects revenue of between $2.99 billion and $3.05 billion, or $3.02 billion at the middle of the range. Analysts had forecast $3.04 billion in revenue for the current period. The company said it expects the period to include a two percentage point benefit due to Easter timing.
“In the U.S., we’ve seen relatively softer results, which we believe has been largely driven by broader economic uncertainties,” the company said in a letter to shareholders.
While the company said it experienced strong year-over-year growth in North America “despite broad macro uncertainty,” it reported “softness” in travel from Canada to the U.S. toward the end of the quarter.
Tariffs are the story of this earnings season, as investors look for signs that President Donald Trump’s sweeping levies on imports are weighing on costs and consumer spending.
Gross booking value, which measures host earnings, service fees, cleaning fees and taxes, increased 7% year over year to $24.5 billion, in line with estimates. Night and experiences booked rose 8% from a year ago and totaled 143.1 million, compared to the 143.4 million estimate from analysts.
Excluding North America, Airbnb said that nights and experiences grew 11% from a year ago. Nights booked by Canadian guests visiting Mexico jumped 27% from a year ago in March. The company said it expects nights and experiences booked to “moderate” in the current period from the first quarter.
“During April, we saw strong demand for Easter travel from Latin America–which remains our fastest growing region,” Airbnb said.
Airbnb also teased new updates to its app coming later this month that will go “beyond places to stay.” The company said it has removed 450,000 listing since updating its host quality system in 2023.

I went to play a round after work at a course that is owned by a golf property management group that has a reputation similar to private equity. Stripping value with the goal of maximizing profits. It has gotten to the point that I will no longer be playing at these courses due to their inept and greed management style.
The grievance that most frustrates me is their 8 minute tee times. This is claustrophobic and depending on the course a surefire way to cause log jamming on the tee blocks as early as the second hole. I understand that the season is limited in Canada and a course needs to try and maximize profits but golfers playing this close together are not only going to be held up for prolonged period but also increase the likelihood of altercations due to the lack of time and space to play.
These course often have some sort of ironic pace of play notice that says how fast everyone should be playing. This would be well and good if the course wasn't so logjammed that no group can play at a normal pace.
TLDR: Golf groups make course worse. | r/golf | post | r/golf | 2025-05-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jeUEzdm44U0RBUDhpUndpRTFEY2JSalhzNTUxM0ZQTlhPQ091TFZldUtwX0lXanlZa05RMGhBaG93SmUzWHE2X3ExM21VbVlEOGVhalRjcjZqZkVWTVNYNFBNWXFKRnBSdml1YVNpQkp2R3M9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kZ3p4OV9pY21RUGQzZFVERHlFY2RqYUlrQTZpY2tnMEVKTU5IQWUtd0ViT1VqSnQ5UUNEaDN2d0tSSXBhbEZJZHBKeEZBSGlRTHNJT0NxQTlqRjV0V1oyQWFHOGNoRGc4WHFEWGhidER5dWszTTBlaHZrbnVNMFF4Z0tmLXpkVUl4UE1lYUtYMlBWYjNzd1RBak4zMGdlNkhTV3B6d2pXQ1RjOGlCWlVUcEE3UlNQNVhUSGlVUjljdFV2RHdCQU43 |

Apple reported second fiscal-quarter earnings Thursday that beat Wall Street expectations, but the company’s closely-watched Services division came up light versus estimates.
Here’s how Apple did versus consensus estimates for the quarter ending in March:
* EPS $1.65 vs. $1.63 estimated by LSEG
* Revenue: $95.4 billion vs. $94.66 billion estimated by LSEG
* iPhone revenue: $46.84 billion vs. $45.84 billion estimated, per StreetAccount
* Mac revenue: $7.95 billion vs. $7.77 billion estimated, per StreetAccount
* iPad revenue: $6.4 billion vs. $6.20 billion estimated, per StreetAccount
* Wearables, Home, and Accessories revenue: $7.52 billion vs. $7.95 billion, per StreetAccount
* Services revenue: $26.65 billion vs. $26.70 billion, per StreetAccount
* Gross margin: 41.7% vs. 47.1%, per StreetAccount
The company reported $1.65 per share on $24.78 billion of net income during the quarter, versus $23.64 billion, or $1.53 per share, in the year-ago period.
Apple typically provides data points about how it sees the current quarter shaping up on a call with analysts. Wall Street is highly anticipating CEO Tim Cook’s first public comments on how Apple will navigate rapidly-shifting tariffs proposed by the Trump administration.
Analysts are looking for third-quarter guidance of $1.48 in earnings per share on $89.45 billion of sales.
Cook told CNBC that Apple is already sourcing about half of the iPhones for the U.S. from India, and most of its other products for the U.S. from Vietnam, where tariffs are lower than they are from China. Apple still makes the “vast majority” of its products for other countries from China, Cook said.
“If you look at the U.S., over half of the U.S. sales of iPhone come from India,” Cook said. “If you look at the other products, Mac and iPad and AirPods and the Watch, almost all of the country of origin is Vietnam.”
Cook said the iPhone uses a lot of chips made domestically, and that Apple is buying 19 billion chips this year from the U.S.
“With an iPhone, you really have to go a step lower and look at the individual parts and where they come from,” he said.
Apple said its board authorized up to $100 billion in share repurchases this quarter, down from $110 billion in authorization last year. Apple also said it would pay a dividend of 26 cents per share, a 4% increase.
“We continue to plan for annual dividend increases,” Cook said.
The company’s most important product line, iPhones, topped estimates at $46.8 billion in sales during the quarter. The overall product line’s sales were up just under 2% on an annual basis.
Apple’s profitable Services division includes iCloud subscriptions, services like Apple Music and Apple TV+, warranties and revenue from search licensing deals like its agreement with Google.
Cook, in a statement, hailed “double-digit” Services growth to $26.65 billion in revenue during the quarter, an annual increase of 11.65%. However, Services revenue came in slightly under StreetAccount expectations, and last year, Apple’s services division grew 14.2% during the March quarter.
Apple hardware generally did well during the quarter.
Mac sales rose nearly 7% to just under $8 billion, and iPad sales were up 15% on an annual basis to $6.4 billion. Apple introduced new mid-priced iPad Air and MacBook Air models in March.
However, Apple’s wearables division, which includes Apple Watch, AirPods and accessories sales, declined 5% versus the same period last year to $7.52 billion in revenue.
Sales in Greater China, which includes Taiwan and Hong Kong, were down slightly year-over-year at $16 billion. Cook said that China sales were accelerating on a quarterly basis, and that Apple sales in the region would have been flat if not for foreign exchange rates.
On the other hand, sales in the Americas, Apple’s largest market that has seen some increased consumer demand ahead of tariffs, rose nearly 8%. Cook told CNBC’s Steve Kovach that Apple had not seen evidence of order “pull forward” because of tariffs.
“We don’t believe that there was a significant pull forward due to tariffs into the March quarter,” Cook said. “There’s no obvious evidence of it.”

Block reported first-quarter results that missed Wall Street expectations on Thursday. The stock plunged 17% in extended trading.
Here is how the company did, compared to analysts’ consensus estimates from LSEG.
* **Earnings per share:** 56 cents, adjusted. That figure may not be comparable to estimates.
* **Revenue: $5.77** billion vs. $6.2 billion expected
Revenue decreased about 3% from $5.96 billion a year earlier. Gross profit rose 9% to **$**2.29 billion from $2.09 billion a year earlier. That missed analysts’ forecasts of $2.32 billion for the quarter.
Gross payment volume hit $56.8 billion, missing expectations of $58 billion, according to StreetAccount.
Block updated its full-year guidance to reflect a more cautious stance on the economy for the rest of the year. The company expects to increase gross profit in the second quarter by 9.5%, in the low double digits in the third quarter, and in the mid teens in the fourth.

I moved into the basement with my boyfriend at his mom’s house. His mom was charging me $500 a month to live there. The house is in very bad condition and is filthy. There is pet hair everywhere and on one occasion the room in the basement I was staying in flooded. The room also has mice. I moved out of my apartment to live with him for us to save for our own place. Prior to me moving in my boyfriend promised that he would take good care of me. My boyfriend is 30 M and I am 31 F. We were supposed to get our own place but he kept pushing back the time for us to move. We have been together for three years and I decided to end the relationship for my own sanity. I also canceled a cruise we were supposed to go on in Europe with his family. Did I do the right thing by ending the relationship? | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-05-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jQlNaV3AyUmlCLUpIalZ2emdxUV82WHNwMWl6NzRTczZrRld2Z19LZ0UxNDlBQVgzV0hGSU1abjgwbnBXUFhueXFaZzZ4WTc2TXJPWUMwd2Z4MEM5OE9ENk1PLXlYdjRNZ0FPOHhaUThwRms9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kbE4xVl90OEtOWkVMdm9ETjEtTU04bFNyU1d0Q1ZvanhodlFDY0FHaHhhTXFQcGJ5TldubUNPd0tkOWdjT2N6cWVVWFQ4ZUFGamUybmNsYzhkTm1jR2NLeURvREdTQWRzaW5fX2F5UnM3MXZNcTRxM0RzOTdUT3VOdUxoNGliNjBzS21JZkFwR05kNmFfTGg0eGc2b3FnY2xvVEdabWVfLXlVVzBTaGtRcmtxUkxJZ19YVU5EOU1leHhyeEU5bHFNR2hmQXFOelE0d0h4Sm1LZ1FIYl8xdz09 |
She’s a an amazing empathetic beautiful joyful and bright woman, but I resented her so much because she reminded me of my old self. The understanding doormat / I can save him/ ride or die bullshit got her killed I hated her because at some point in my life I was a little like that.
Other points why I don’t like her: She talks about healing and spirituality a lot: but it’s performative and clearly she didn’t apply any of those healthy advice to her own life. She should’ve run the minute that fucker released the snakes because it was clearly a foreshadowing of the following tragic heart wrenching and preventable death. Pick me choose me love me/ captain I’ll save your soul. I don’t even know what did she saw in Rick anyway: That dude is Always grumpy and red like you’re from the 7th depth of hell. Dude every time we see you you’re always sweating tons that you could quench the sahara desert. He didn’t extend her any grace or comfort. He didn’t love her nor care about her until she died as a martyr because of his fuckery. Immature criminal suicidal killer selfish with no emotional intelligence. Okay you suffered you and your mother because of your dad but you don’t need to kill that old guy. He was going to die anyway if he gave it a year grandpa was already at the brinks of death.

with Tariffs heavy on China and AMZN's products mostly coming from china as well.
i know Amazon has other business lines but to me warehouse/logistics can't really sustain long due to cost reasons.

In conjunction with the results, Apple raised its share buyback program to $100B, and increased its quarterly dividend to $0.26 per share, an increase of 4%. The dividend is payable on May 15 to shareholders of record as of May 12.

First- why isn’t there an inequality sign on emojis (math). I looked, or I would used it in my title.
Went to listen to some music (we have Apple Music). Thought I’d listen to some 2025 Alternative wanting to know what the descendants of our Grunge and Alternative sounded like.
It wasn’t bad, but I was so much lighter than what I expected.
No shredding, no yelling, no great drums… just perky lyrics, light guitar etc. I wonder is this it or is this the Apple Algorithm at work.
I quickly searched 90 Alt/Grunge and was satisfied.
What young bands come from our musical lineage?

Title basically summarizes it. Seems like the whole internet is bashing car and truck manufacturers by saying that moving away from traditional V8 or V6 motors to modern, small displacement, turbo engines will somehow cause reliability issues because they’re “more complicated.”
There’s literally nothing simpler than a 4 cylinder with a fan attached to it, because that’s all a turbo is. It’s literally a simple motor with an exhaust powered fan in front of it. V motors ARE more complicated. More heads, more cylinders, larger and more complicated intake, multiple exhaust manifolds. They literally have more parts to fail and are harder to work on. I’ll work on an inline motor with a turbo over a V motor any day.

It's interesting to get older and see how some of my previous attitudes have changed. One that I get, and wore like a cloak of concealment and protection was "I don't care". And saying 'whatever' was an extension of a frustration I felt at having been born at all. It was more than that, however. It was also an ideal that I really looked up to. I saw people who could accept life as it was happening, and while I hated their ability to do so, I also admired it and thought I don't care could provide me with that level of acceptance. It actually took me a whole lot of living and crashing against reality to break down the various concepts, ideals, rationalizations, justifications, and preconceived notions I'd built as a kid. In other words, I had a whole lot of unlearning to do, as the Mad Hatter might say. Through this process of introspection and meditation with people I respect, "I don't care" was transformed into "I don't mind." I didn't expect this at all, but I'm incredibly grateful for it. I don't mind living the way I used to. I don't mind the world as it is in this moment right now. I don't mind getting older. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't trade my 20 something body for my late 40s mind at all. I'm very thankful to have grown up alongside all you slackers. I'm honestly proud to be genx and how it has shaped me. But if I know you at all, you're probably thinking, "Whatever." lol.
I am genuinely curious what mental transformations were important for you, should you care to share! | r/genx | post | r/GenX | 2025-05-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jSF9wbEVfUk9Ndl81TTJSOEhKa2xYNmZLMVJIMC1vdlVXUkF2djJpOTRERjZuRkhyeG9tY2tnRl9BUE03dElqOGJ2eWJmSnByRTM4aHBDYXZrMGVnNlE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kX2E0RnZ1S3FCWF9BVTMzbzF6dExpTEN1bnlJTEppX1IxZUppT3M1bGJkLVFFUVI1M3BlSXowQ1BueXQyUWlGVjF1dzU4SUw5M213SURHcFV1UVh6djIxcWJiRW1ITnN6NnA5MG9CS1VUbXkzendRNEJqUGFVRWJPVW81WTVBWVhVcnpPN1VwZ01uRGQzQk9zRVBNYTZRPT0= |

CEO Andy Jassy looked to reassure investors on the company’s first-quarter earnings call on Thursday, saying he’s “optimistic” the retail giant could emerge from the current tariff environment stronger than before. The comments followed Amazon’s first-quarter earnings report, where the company beat expectations, but its operating income forecast for the current period came in light. Amazon projected operating profit of $13 billion to $17.5 billion, compared with consensus estimates of $17.8 billion, according to LSEG. | r/stocks | post | r/stocks | 2025-05-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jQWhIdzRFNEY0TXUxaVgyY2FKNDZWYmx3MzctMHR3U0ltS1pvWTM0SDhrendEMEtrNG0wTEJ6bm1ibnZ6N1gyLXVnSzlvZkVxenFVd2c1ZUpPTXYyOUZmUVFPSm5MaVFld0lTU3M0emluaGs9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kOXJrbFdzYXNDa2NrdTZfOGtVQ3F5Rk5VdGtJT1h6bW9HX1FVWG9SODBlQ3BtblJWZVg3cEhkQmxuWGJiMEFRWk9PZEY3eXYxdjF3MTViRjlkZXVGVmtpdDVqMUpWbEwyMHEwSVJrd1RhYVVYMk5FQzNTZWNHR1BjY0FiSjBtcEFhcmZEenVNTlFMbzBwTW1ZX2NMbVAxUFZnMmRqaFozRS1RelZsMlBOeldYcHYwMFpVWU92LVd6LUhQb2dpT25u |
Apple reported second fiscal-quarter earnings Thursday that beat Wall Street expectations, but the company’s closely-watched Services division came up light versus estimates.
The company expects tariffs to add $900 million to its costs for the current quarter, assuming no other major changes occur, CEO Tim Cook said Thursday. | r/stocks | post | r/stocks | 2025-05-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jaFBDMU5vdVpMOVpGVllhLXF3MWRlcHlEbmRzUkp2djJjNHRaOGVQYkM2c3VjX0F3ZUxpVjd6MmpmSFJCb2paZkVDTWEtMWFxS09GbXViM1BDLXBJV0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kdXg5cXlacGRJdGdZNFFZWnlLeWlTbmt3UUx6MEZNdURWX1FZSDQ0a3dxME04d243Ti1SMHVRSDZhTDhDcG9KZnJxMHd3b01mZnA5TnhkdGM3Q3V0NGZxaXQ0c0FsZkFKMWdMcjhELVp6SGRSQWtHdmZGYXNqanE4bF84UmNLelBvX1VOcHJ3cXdNY3Boc1hla0xQcWZzbGVjdGJXN2dySmhWcmdEeGF4V0wyT29VaXUtLXh3SFhzNFEwangtOFRVZ0M2TFdOWVlaV09xMWtjRVNzSTNuUT09 |

52 year old male here. Living in NYC. Grew up buying vinyl records, DVD’s, loads of books and magazines. Pretty much live the same way I always did and lucky to live in a city where I have a lot of access to physical media of all kinds.
Yes, I have an iPhone, a laptop, use the internet, stream movies and music also (while still buying both as well), use a computer at work, know how to use tech, but generally do not give a shit if it all went away tomorrow and think the world is a far less pleasant place than it was pre- internet, and especially pre- smart phone and social media.
I do not get excited about new technology and have never been on Tik Tok.
I get excited about going to the magazine shop in the West Village on weekends.
This is me.

I’ve never preordered a switch, and I was very underprepared when they opened and sold out quickly. My only hope is Nintendo’s preorders. I go to college in August so I need a switch2 by then so i don’t have to take my ps5. I sold my switch one early waiting for the switch2, so I’m desperate to have one again—especially now that Tomadachi life was confirmed. I doubt I’ll be able to get one on launch day since I’ll be at orientation and vacation 🫠 | r/nintendoswitch2 | post | r/NintendoSwitch2 | 2025-05-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jSkl2X2Z2M3FGYkpwX1dUTjFpbE53bzBsMUJaTXg3MkJ1dkpyU0ZxeGNjalBTYWNya0F2dlZvYnl5TlJzM0VXWG9WYnhWT29uSW1qUkNSMWdjMm1LVGw5NzFpcm90d2xqUGw5TXpHYzA4eFU9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kNlR0SEZRVGJCRXNnTkNRekJZY0xMZWdkNFlTemdRQWljWElIc1ljTG9iRkwxLVdicXhjaTBzdzRkeDYzNWdleG1QYkd0Z2VxOHVacTRuUFJFSHFjT1dYZXhFV0lieVRmTy1qdEV1YVViMExmWGktY0V2NGxoRjFQak4tVG93Ykx3a3RYNFJCTFV6azgxeFdxbzdSM0daY3hGN1JmM29WczdKSUxOd1VsMkM4PQ== |
It's been years since the pandemic and my kid is about to graduate to middle school and I feel like I should be back on my feet like the doer I used to be, but I am totally lost and can't figure out where to start with rebuilding my life and connections!! Work, connections, family -- everything kinda fell down the tubes. I feel like I'm rising out of a long depression and I really don't know where to start and who to talk to, but it's horribly lonely. I feel uncomfortable in the world but sort of fine in my own skin.

This is my personal definition of duty :
“Do not confuse "duty" with what other people expect of you; they are utterly different. Duty is a debt you owe to yourself to fulfill obligations you have assumed voluntarily. Paying that debt can entail anything from years of patient work to instant willingness to die. Difficult it may be, but the reward is self-respect.
But there is no reward at all for doing what other people expect of you, and to do so is not merely difficult, but impossible. It is easier to deal with a footpad than it is with the leech who wants "just a few minutes of your time, please—this won't take long." Time is your total capital, and the minutes of your life are painfully few. If you allow yourself to fall into the vice of agreeing to such requests, they quickly snowball to the point where these parasites will use up 100 percent of your time—and squawk for more!
So learn to say No—and to be rude about it when necessary. Otherwise you will not have time to carry out your duty, or to do your own work, and certainly no time for love and happiness. The termites will nibble away your life and leave none of it for you.
(This rule does not mean that you must not do a favor for a friend, or even a stranger. But let the choice be yours. Don't do it because it is "expected" of you.)” - Robert Heinlein
(please don't come after me about the Heinlein, I'm aware there are issues there...)
So, by that definition, are you behaving dutifully towards your parents? Have you figured out what that looks like for you, and are you willing to share it and how it is working out?
My story from my perspective, is that I grew up in trauma. I could never explain my father's rages to people until I saw Kubrick's 'The Shining', and then I had an excellent point of reference. I have cPTSD and I've done lots of therapy, and I'm pretty okay these days.
My father is also the living proof that people can change, he credits God, I credit the men's pastor at the church he attended. One day I was over at their house with my 3 yo son and my dad came home in a MOOD. I suddenly had no blood and a mouth full of gasoline and I was ready to grab my kid and fly out the door, but my kid looked up at him and said "Grandpa...? It's time to go look at bugs." And my dad laughed and said, yes, it was, and then they did while I processed the fact that my kids would never know the guy I knew.
My mother swept everything under the hem of Christ's robes and we weren't allowed to talk about it.
She has shown me how shame and fear can be used to control and she made love and help transactional based on her approval and she hasn't approved of me in a long time.
And my dad is housebound with COPD, and she gatekeeps him because she is terrified of us talking about anything that might make her feel upset, it's practically fucking pointless to go over there. If I bring my kids over, she just talks about her houses and her money (because if she talks about religion, or politics, she knows I'm going to leave) and bringing my kids over there feels like a waste because she doesn't ask them any questions about themselves beyond the generic school, work, etc, probably because they are all weirdo heathens like their mother and she doesn't want to know.
In my opinion, I was lucky that saw the need to pull it together so that I didn't thoughtlessly pass bullshit down to my kids, and we've all done pretty well. I can't believe my mom couldn't, or wouldn't, or didn't do the same and it EXTRA SUCKS because now... she is looking to me for time and attention and care and love approval and I am so nice, and I want to give it to her, but honestly, I know I don't have the energy without even considering if have any fucks to give.
So considering that, I guess this is just academic, but if you had similarly-sized Adverse Childhood Experiences and you are or were (or aren't/weren't) a dutiful child, what compelling reasons did you find to do so? Does it provide a satisfactorily compensatory dose of self-respect as per the quote above?
Or if you just stayed away, and they are gone, do you wish now that you had done differently? | r/genx | post | r/GenX | 2025-05-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jUFpqaG1VN2VxcDVsQm91ZHlRN3RFNmgtNU1yLU1JWWV0aTV2TkhMT0otZzlDVDFvYXhpbEVTd2lULUdDcmtoZW96Sk44aUNJUEhIeWlZUGNPa3VWZHJ6UFhZV3RmckV5Qk5TRjZ5NlQtMHc9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kc1kwTzVpU05MdU5LdDNpWi1EQzNQR2FkNW5QNGZxZmFCX2NXTF9DSzY3UkduVTlYMkwyazRzTFAzam95WTFBYU5FMXVYX2s1bi15X3h5YkNGUEk0bmhTc2hfWWN3YzJWbWhWOUU5d2FfWHdWd0NiLXhKQWFIQlBnU2NtdXJXSDdNR1hKRlZTZHNrQmVxVllIcTRDR1FZSUlYY3FrZlU0RlB2YzBNS3dFZVpJPQ== |

* Strategy, the largest corporate holder of bitcoin, reported a fifth consecutive quarterly loss due to an unrealized loss on its cryptocurrency holdings.
* The company's quarterly loss was $5.91 billion, resulting from a quarter-end bitcoin price of $82,445, and its net loss was $4.22 billion, or $16.49 per share.
* Despite the loss, Strategy plans to use proceeds from a new $21 billion at-the-market common stock equity offering to acquire more bitcoin, adding to its existing holdings of 553,555 bitcoins valued at $37.90 billion.

ERROR: type should be string, got "\nhttps://finance.yahoo.com/news/declare-victory-and-move-on-eli-lilly-ceo-on-trump-tariff-threat-160646465.html\n\nEli Lilly (LLY-$700 billion market cap) CEO Dave Ricks emphasized that many essential hospital drugs, including generics, are produced overseas, mainly in India and China. With the U.S. reviewing the national security impact of drug imports, likely ahead of new tariffs, Ricks said the company supports reshoring key medicine production and is ready to help if needed.\n\nUS dependence to China for critical drug is not limited to Ibuprofen (95% reliance on China Import with shortage expected in few weeks) and other painkillers, but also antibiotics.\n\nFor instance, Cefuroxime, a widely used antibiotic, is expected to see sharp price increases due to rising manufacturing costs, supply chain disruptions, and a 145% U.S. tariff on Chinese pharmaceutical imports, which supply most of its key ingredients. A brief price drop in April was temporary, and India, once seen as an alternative source, also faces higher costs. Hospitals and generic drug makers may struggle, prompting early talks on subsidies, while patients are advised to explore alternatives.\n\nhttps://www.chemanalyst.com/NewsAndDeals/NewsDetails/cefuroxime-prices-set-to-surge-as-tariffs-and-supply-woes-mount-36300\n\nhttps://www.axios.com/2025/05/01/hospitals-struggle-tariff-impacts" | r/stocks | post | r/stocks | 2025-05-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jc3ktQVEybElHNnVPc1pfejRpN1VLWEVwVjlQbzV3N083cXFJT1pkOHZGU2hWRFA2d2JCZVVLY3VyaW1PcW9DTUdsWmt3MHVURUdEZFVFbUF3Z1gwSnc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kREtzRVlNRTA3OUhoRnVaelFFNDFTbFZnSUlNMmxVUmlXN1E5SmlCTFZSRGJ2ZGE2Y1lOYU1raXVMRFE4ZWNpQWRTaXNHWEExcmU4REFLZTBWSjZEdWNEbW1XRmdha2QtT091RFEwMURHaFQ0TS1hbTNyUnlBVkU4OUY4VWFJNVg3NVZRWTYybkNvMFpQSHhweG5fQnE3WkxiM2tyeFo1a2FOS1c0VUlXYWVGVnpZUzdMaHRBRl9NcUxjX3hjSXU0SlZJSGlFaWVIRllEX05ieEZ2cFlDZz09 |

So here I am sitting at work minding my own business when 2 kids of about 25 come in. I unintentionally have to listen in on their conversation because of where they chose to stop and whine. "No one told me adulting (This. Is. Not. A. Word!) would be so hard!"
Now, maybe I'm losing my mind but I don't recall complaining to my friends - and definitely not my parents - about the difficulties that accompany being a functional adult. I do remember how hard it was in the beginning but I never complained. I kept my head down and got through it. I'd ask my parents for advice but never complained to them. I eventually figured it out.
Am I the only one who didn't cry about how hard adulthood was? Anyone else seeing this from GenZ? Are they complaining because their helicopter parents stopped swooping in every time a problem arose? | r/genx | post | r/GenX | 2025-05-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jYzVZTWlwTHB3cnNxTFhrTFZsVlJJSXUxZjR6TTV6TWpRYTVUNWtGc2hFZ3BnRHF2Z05BU2pmV1hWVGJJZnFSVkZMdEtNUjBRTXh6UXhiTFlmd1RZeHF3VHlMTWE4YlQ0VTdlYnFWbzlSbWM9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kZmJsa2FZTUJrWHlwZHNtT2thejdiRkJVQThLT195TUZDdm41VDF3Y1VfbXN3b0VjWWtZYV9KeGU1STlyV2dvZ0NqWWJxOWFhRDF4MUxSZDZ0ZkppdXV1SzVnUVQ0NmpwRVV2X2VSMmU1bEdOLXpfS0pvWFVFVjdXRFlpRUxUOEJFbk1rS1o1VzdlUXFZRXBkZnVjT0RaWnNnM2FiQm1CUjVyMlpSck03S1dnPQ== |

Who else still owns and has only owned the Launch Day Switch?
I have always grown up loving Nintendo.
I have been fortunate enough (or unfortunate depending on how you see things 😅) to own every console since the GameCube and DS and had played my Fathers NES/SNES prior to that (he skipped the N64).
However the Switch was the first console I myself ever purchased with my own adult money. I remember the launch day and it was chaotic. I feared having my switch break seeing the initial day 1 batch issues and yes I’ve encountered my share of issues like stick drift and even a weird issue where the right joycon no longer works in handheld mode lol.
But throughout all of that I’ve never once traded it in, never threw away joycons or anything.
I’ve owned the same OG Switch since 2017, dock, controllers and all.
The question is… who else owns and still uses their launch switch?
Who else never traded in or bought a Switch Lite or OLED?
I ask because I always saw people buy new models (especially the OLED) or new colors or whatever and I’ve honestly never cared to upgrade 😅.
And yes, I will probably own the same Switch 2 since launch day in June lol. | r/nintendoswitch2 | post | r/NintendoSwitch2 | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jaFhvaUZPU3d5NFdtTmhRVENxZnE0WnZ4SXBLcWFtaVk4R3oza0NGemg3dkhRM3JVMnIzaFZycVJqNnhjcFhsS081all4anJrS2VHLWsyRHdJTnpWU1E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kcTExYWdOOFhIWnZBTl9TZ1BQMFJRV0lkUm51djFIRGYtVTB6RWNHTEVHTUxXNWpreGxpYm5USEZmWXhjUFlBU0VSNFZuc01Md0VBdWpVV3dyM3o5TUFURzlNUlRSY1ZuTUtXUEZsSWQ5dFdIMmctMEhGLU5uRUR6NUFwdjE3blVnVXE0MVp3N0JqNjdPTXBCYi0xTG5UaGloOEtyUUJSbWpITm5vcjA5UHZNPQ== |
I usually don't like syrups or stuff in my coffee. I like Starbuck's brown sugar one, however I discovered my favorite, namely to put in a latte, a few years ago. Maple syrup. I, in general, prefer maple syrup because it has a bit more of a deeper flavor (I like it over honey), but I really do think it's an untapped sweetener choice. | r/unpopularopinion | post | r/unpopularopinion | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jSFZ2czZIRXhCOTEza0lnREJjR2poZnQ3SjRTRVhXRXBKaVBZU3k2QVpTY0lSZFNrNlZIUEY3el85OGFJaUhMYTBjME9Fb2pBaG92My1nVkxQMEt4NXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kU00xdDdieWx6aHdDM2I2Mk5laTJfNjcwbDNlOUFxS3RGS3N5LUJMbEF2SDFBQldWNzcycm14b1o3UmxQcTBkaHV0ZnRac09Mbkd0ZTRZSFNOalVtSE0zeEh2UUJTTDVuXzlYeUZla1FXaGo1UVJlU0pLdlFkN2MzYXJvUk9DX0RoR19KMHk0eVlJUFBheFFGVFlLSmNGbGYzeXhwRElacUJfdDRuN3ZlSmRMOEVNeTY3VkY0T1F1bWZBMExFaFhKTHNTVWxQbjFCSkl4aHRGR0xkRkQ3Zz09 |

Bowls suck.
Microwaving a ceramic bowl is always frustrating, the bowl gets way hotter than your food, you can’t carry it because it doesn’t have a handle so you need to use a towel or other buffer to keep from burning yourself.
Metal bowls aren’t microwave-safe.
Glass bowls have all of the downsides of ceramic, plus fragility.
Pyrex 4-cup measuring cups are the ideal vessel for hot and cold food. They’re durable, microwaveable, have a handle for easy transportation, and don’t get ungodly hot. Plus, they’re clear and have measurements in case you want to track your calories or whatever. Cheap too. Looks stupid but life’s too short to eat uncomfortably. Once you try it, you’ll never use a bowl again. | r/unpopularopinion | post | r/unpopularopinion | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jQnI3azNVUnZ4Mm0xcmstTzJyRlAwQzh5bktKQmxEbDYwcUl0a01fc2tsY1EyY3BYbThjXzJMbUxyZEFRV280emZ5TTlSR2ZMQmpwZER0S0ZqVUUwQWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kU05HaDdwWkJGa1pIYkxEdUtoODk4Q1FpY05IUy1XTGhQQlZ2TjhvNlEzTXVUTWMzSzMwSXNENkJuMjBjVU5pZFlIeVAyNkIxNm9SaDFwb0RGb21OQ1FDc1k3cEVwU1hkWDRMNDEwZU16c0E1WmN4dk4yYm9UakZBNWFXazFsS2M0SHdWVEdmV1NjY3NseVVRNkhCeHpDQWR1X3NHZHl1LUZmbXE0Yko5OHZjWEpLS2NzMk9HX0ZmZ24wTmNSak9YQmhhY2tKeGhLTjliZ1dNMkQtWnkzdz09 |
I’m about 60% cash in my portfolio. I was originally 80% but I bought some during the liberation day dips. I didn’t go all in because I thought it was going to go lower and then the orange man announced the 90 day pause out of nowhere.
I’m not feeling confident for the next few years for the US economy. This Admin either doesn’t understand basic economics or they just like manipulating the market for their own greed. Probably both, but who knows.
How much cash are you holding right now?

"'Reality' is the only word in the language that should always be used in quotes."
While rummaging through my records, I ran across this inner sleeve advertisement for the Wax Trax!/Play It Again Sam USA record label, founded in Denver but relocated to Chicago. I'd love to know if anyone liked the Wax Trax!/PIAS bands and where did you hear them, radio station, club, friend, sister, brother? Did you ever see any of these bands live? If so, where?
There also has to be some good stories like, Ministry and Revolting Cocks once played my high school. That kind of stuff.

Farming is the backbone of the nation and too many people take it for granted or don’t care because it’s a dirty low income job. Just because these people don’t sit in an office everyday doesn’t mean they aren’t doing an important job.
There are people who think that we can just grow edible food instead the millions of acres used for animal feed. That’s just not true. Most climates and economies are not set up for that type of farming and agriculture would grind to a halt if we stopped soybean and corn farming. Chemicals are also a big reason why farming is even remotely profitable but that’s a different story. If people were to take the time to learn agriculture is important and why it’s structured the way it is maybe then farmers will gain respect and less people will be going and complaining about water usage and animal rights.
PS animals on a farm are vital to a farmers income. If these animals are hurt or sick they don’t grow right and will cost the farmers in lost income. Everything a farmer does while the animal is alive is to make sure it stays alive and comfortable so that they eat plenty of feed so that they will eventually fatten up. | r/unpopularopinion | post | r/unpopularopinion | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jVHc2d1RsZGtTT3ZhNDZselJzOTVTMTNTWEp0ek9OUjNNQzFDYTBHVU84RHlad004TWRXaTJWeE05eG8zS0I1NVQ4VTZHVElFZTQ4QnpBUnlEaEFVWlE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kUVcyNE1nVGJBWHJ5ZHd2NjB2RVZ6YTgyT1NRVjdqQjMzRHZRVmFrelliY2xFbVAtTUhPVGZYUUhRSFlCcUF6c2Y5a2FMek5OMWIwTElqaUcwMVczZ3BhSEZtb1A1eHZCZmlMWVJDbW5iTFYyMDd5WmhycEpWUndMTmYxN2U0MlJXdWdwZkxGVVBiZHFRTGxHMUhscVFQYlpFSkVmNUQwWEVOXzduWlk3R0x0NFRTSW9URXo4RHRJV1J6TENTaVotWFlTdXAwWFVoMGN0UjJ3VURnVmpidz09 |

BEIJING, May 2 (Reuters) - China's commerce ministry said on Friday the United States has repeatedly expressed its willingness to negotiate on tariffs and that Beijng's door is open for talks.
The United States should be prepared to take action in correcting "erroneous" practices and cancel unilateral tariffs, the commerce ministry said.

this isnt me saying "no one should have a car," this is me acknowledging that cars kill just as many people as guns do on a yearly basis - or more. this is me acknowledging that we still have drunk driving seminars at highschools, where they reenact a classmate dying. this is me acknowledging that we have a sober, impaired driving campaign related to distracted driving - same potential damage caused as drunk driving. if most people arent qualified to carry a gun, why are they qualified to drive a car?
apparently some drivers arent even asked to parallel park these days, but that used to be the "mountain" that people would have to overcome during their test "back in my day" like im not a 30 year old lol WTF? anyway, there is no call to action for any given feigned "emergency" in driving tests. however, cars are deadly machinery and we should probably make sure that drivers: dont put themselves or others in dangerous scenarios, and that drivers know how to navigate dangerous scenarios that may arise.
this could manifest like "the driver next to you has a blow out, what do you do?" or "you think the driver next to you is drinking, do you go ahead or pull behind?"
instead, we live in a world where loose standards have gotten drivers to a point where they need to be sat down and asked "you missed, or are about to miss, your highway exit, do you sit still on the highway and cause a traffic obstruction or do you just miss the turn off and continue driving to the next exit?"
ive never pretended like everyone needs to, or should, drive themselves everywhere. lotta people are bad at driving and i think we'd all be surprised how much better society runs when everyone gets out of eachother's way. if we let people do what theyre good at while not forcing people to do things theyre bad at, we'd all have a more enjoyable AND a more productive life. | r/unpopularopinion | post | r/unpopularopinion | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jQzVOdUVTaGhGdlJsQy1JdE55UXVGaTFScnJ2eHpSTnFmd3gzc2FoM3Q3SEhieHl3cWFZWTlkTmdRQkF2b293ai1lMWNzU3FDdVhjLUVhVjVsYV9wa0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kMkh5YmZkM2FWQm5SemdOcFYtdFdpUHFlaGg1cC1neGd4RVNyU2prNTNNMkFNanZROVJVem9OM0RvYUE1ZlFEVnFzbF80bFByWkNOaWRLUlM4QXh0N2FvckxNTGhxaG1LWDRrZmgxSHNGTlp4Zml5Q3F5UXR6eGJleVBnXzItNkY0UGR6UnVDcXExTkx1M2JITzNBYjRMeUFYWDBEN0RkNVpBVHlyLUFoR2xETXgxMThoSHJvZlFmSElxWVROMG40UkVXSklzMUJiZ3loMks4cTMzRk5vUT09 |
Humidity rocks.
Warm, dry air is on thin ice but still makes my skin peel like a reptile. Cold, dry air is hellish and makes me feel like I’m choking on ice daggers everytime I inhale (and screws up my skin like warm lol).

Maximalism is overhyped, and honestly, it’s getting kind of tiring. People are out here acting like cramming a bunch of random stuff into a room somehow makes them more creative. Like, yeah, okay, you have a thousand mismatched pillows and a rug that looks like it was designed by someone on a caffeine high, but does it actually make the space feel good? Or is it just a chaotic mess that you have to explain every time someone walks in? Minimalism isn’t about being boring, it’s about not needing to be loud to prove a point.
But here’s the thing: maximalists love to drag minimalists for being “cold” or “boring,” as if we’re somehow less creative because we like clean spaces and meaningful pieces over piles of clutter. Newsflash: enjoying a well-organized home doesn’t make someone “basic” or “soul-less.” If anything, we’re just living in a space where we can actually *think* instead of getting distracted by the avalanche of knick-knacks around us. Minimalism isn’t about depriving yourself; it’s about having only what you need and what you love, which—spoiler alert—might just be more than all the “vintage” nonsense you hoard.
So, maximalists, keep your neon signs and random collections of things that “speak to you,” but don’t act like your clutter is some next-level form of self-expression. Some of us actually *want* a home where we don’t have to play Tetris just to sit down on the couch. Just because your living room looks like an Instagram post gone wrong doesn’t mean we’re jealous of the chaos. | r/unpopularopinion | post | r/unpopularopinion | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jRTVsMEp4LUg4V0podXVHT2NubFJrcVhDYW9xMlp5aDRlX3dBSW1nWGpWdDh2WjF0MFVqeGFYdGczV3pObExnbk40SlA1b0x4NjZkMnJjUVRNekFoV3c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kWGNyM09hdEJCbUxWRU0tRFp5aGZYdVdENlhNV3Y2TnZTYjhIRzZRbl9NOFl5U3RwS2syRlo3bHNacWhHWUhuZXptbGZoaG1WX2Q4TlZxb2F3LTllQV9SYzhCRENQb2xjNF9JdjVIQlhwdFd1ak9nNGttNjN6R2RFY1M5M1lTdF9FTGV6bUJib2xlS3UtMzZlZTFXYW9oTk8tZ2RIaVhEUmZJZkRYVGZaOUF2UHVQRHZCV3p4LXhrZ3FUZWdZN2JN |
Case in point, one of mine is USAR. USA Rare Earth, Inc. Analysts price this at up to $15, but over yesterday and today, it fell to $9.66/share and after hours it has hit $9.31/share.
On 4/30 yesterday, they announced a securities purchase agreement with a new fundamental institutional investor to raise $75 million of equity capital via a private investment in public equity (“PIPE”). The Company intends to use the proceeds from the offering to fund capital expenditures for its magnet manufacturing facility in Stillwater, Oklahoma, as well as for working capital and operating expenses.
Also towards the end of March 2025, analysts expected a breakeven for the company in the near future, which was of course quite positive news since things have been getting up and running.
About a month ago, they announced the new CEO, William Robert Steele Jr who was the previous CFO for Mujin Corp (AI robotics) and Managing Director at Bank of America Securities. He has a few decades of experience.
This stock has hit the floor over the past couple of days even after the S&P, Dow and others have dipped considerably and gone back up.

My ex-wife snored like a freaking truck driver. Seriously; when she was 14 her mother stormed into her room thinking she had smuggled an adult man into her bedroom. When we moved in together it was *horrible *, at least until she did a sleep study. That showed that she stopped breathing 40+ times an hour, and had sleep apnea. 6 months later she had adapted to the clap life was wonderful, and I could sleep through the night.
Of course, then she turned it all around and made it about me. She bribed the sleep doc to say I stopped breathing 60 Times an hours, so I got a cpap. Whatever. /eyeroll
Anyhow, 20 years later my lovely bride is snoring as badly as my ex did. She did the tests, had apnea, yada yada. But she couldn’t adjust to the mask, so she tried all the ancillary stuff— nasally plugs, stuff like that. She was still snoring as bad as before, and still feeling sleepy all the time. But just today I realized I’ve didn’t mind her snoring anymore — it was just “cute”! I didn’t understand.
So we chatted about it and came to realize it’s one of the few good points to getting old. You got it — I’ve now lost enough hearing that her freaking snoring no longer bothers me.
Jesus wept.

I had been enjoying the struggle in 0.2.0 patch for HCSSF but even I had to admit it just wasn't as fun as 0.1, even with all the QOL improvements.
After 15 juiced maps, I can already feel that 0.1 magic is back. The gold and the tiered items are hitting especially fast.
Thank you!
P.s.: For 0.3 please lean towards this latest patch and not the original start to 0.2.

I’ve seen lots and lots of posts here and many other financial subs wondering how in the world the market has been up the last week or so. The GDP in the first quarter was negative and almost certainly will be next quarter, so we’re probably in a recession, right? We just need the second quarter numbers to confirm it, but shipping is way down, job creation was lower than expected, tariff-driven inflation is likely rising—we’ve got to already be in a recession, right?
Maybe. But even if we are, the market might stay flat or even be green the whole time. Negative overall returns aren’t a given in recessions.
It sounds pretty unbelievable, but [really, that’d be in line with normal market returns during recessions.](https://www.ftportfolios.com/Commentary/MarketCommentary/2025/2/20/recessions-and-the-sp-500-index) Because, remember, recessions are about GDP. The market is correlated to it, but not 1:1. The market can be and frequently is somewhat divorced from GDP and the greater economy.
As the table in the link shows, the market doesn't usually perform how most people here seem to think it does during recessions. In the last 12 recessions, about half the time the market was up leading up to the recession and about half the time it was down. Similarly, during the actual recession, about half the time it was up and half the time it was down. There’s much bigger deviation, but the median overall return during recessions (3.5%) is actually higher than in the 6 months leading up to them (-2.4%).
People here mostly seem to be expecting the market to drop leading up to a recession and then totally tank during the recession like it it did during the Great Recession in 2008-2009. The Great Recession started around Dec 2007 but the market didn't really start diving until into 2008. In the 6 months before the recession started, the S&P was down a little under 1.3%, but then through the actual the recession it dropped ~35%. People have seemingly anchored in their heads that’s how it will be this time around, but that’s actually pretty uncommon behavior as you can see from the link above.
More commonly, the biggest overall market drops are before the recession starts (which, again, has already happened this time around assuming we're in a recession now—at one point we were down like 15% from all-time highs—but obviously it's yet to be determined if the drop will continue through the recession). In the recessions of 1980, 1981, and 1991, the market was actually green before, during, and after the recessions.
Right now, the S&P is down about 2.4% in the last 6 months, with the recession probably already underway (assuming next quarter comes in with negative GDP too, which looks almost certain). But, if you use history as a guide, you shouldn’t just assume we’ll see much more of a drop than we already have even if it's a pretty bad, long recession. Because the market doesn't actually consistently produce negative returns during recessions. Hell, it frequently makes overall gains through them. Sometimes big gains. Plus, in, 1980, 1981, and 1991, the market was actually green before, through, and after the recessions. Especially notable is that the 1980 and 81 recessions were essentially back-to-back, and the market just kept gaining throughout.
All this is just to remind people—we can be in a recession and the economy could be weak or even bad—but that doesn’t inherently mean the market will drop. It might, it might not, but a recession alone doesn’t make that a given. | r/stocks | post | r/stocks | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jNGpQM01Yck1GblQ0ZlpyOGJMYWVDRWRJN3ROR21SbjlVMXp3Yjc5QjVyMVVkbWstelI5SHROLUpHZ2NHcDdNVVdTTFlJWGhGTmZqUVJaYXhLb05XTlU1SzFjU1BPV0V0LS1PS0ZGWE83MWM9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kYlhrXzEtNXpCM3NSemIyRGZFZkRyNzNiZW9qQlc5anJjMmRCbmZ4Z3A4MUxqeExGNlFFMnp6VnBzOUQwOVdkNUlkS3ViXzVKejBqd1NTcldRWFd0YzN6SE1MclJPZFRfa0NLVFliTG9HYTlPWGtJbG8tX1RUeEgzSFhWTC1nLW9KWGtGa3c5OXpiSGs5Z3UzWDVkVVJNdGtBMFdKbjlwcy1pWXMwVU1nTlF6RWNzMmRWc3pCdmd0UmIyVkFBYUVXcy1DT2JkclRtdU43djVCZnF0c3owdz09 |
I’m 26 (F) and been married for 3 years.. he is 26 (M) we started dating at 17 years old. I have never had another relationship, grew up extremely christian. So I assumed getting married was the next step. After getting married nothing was the same, He got lazy and never helped clean or cook. He never did his own laundry. We never go on vacations bc he hates traveling or gets grumpy. We don’t necessarily fight but we don’t speak. It’s like roommates, all we do is work fulltime. I told my mom I would be getting divorced and she said I’m giving up.. and maybe I shouldn’t nag him about cleaning. (She has never even seen us fight) Basically blamed me for it. Even my husband agrees on the divorce and says I don’t nag him at all. He agrees the love faded and we grew apart but we’re still friends.
My mom is saying “I told you so” and saying this isn’t okay to do so young. Is getting divorced at 26.. too young? | r/relationship_advice | post | r/relationship_advice | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jTll2aWpJU2tCQmsyRlJZRlNUeWFaRGMteC1ZaVNpaGVJR3dMQVI5Qk9kcDlobHBid3pMczNyc2tueVdSVU9pUnJkcFlvVHYxVzBQQW16QW9ZUmZ2VXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kSFRkUk9hdHVVLVF1RGpWTFNKZVo2bVhqRFNYSDRob3dfbGxTTWhxRDg3eE9xckZrYUlvamVTZml6aTVEdi1lTlVUay1ubEREb3JvdVRuQThCV0VVUTNqNXFxZnMzVjVVR1lTRzhkSm8wWjZmVGd5SXJxcEpuNGFMbEZfT01uNEVrUy12amJ3YkJEUV9rSzJPOTc5Wi10RHpUR2lQMlpTN21PcEsxZjBXeFJLYmdkbjROMmZyb0JhVDhfWUQ2UWVHd2NCMWZueWNITElQSy1UUFRfcnBxQT09 |
He was with a gentleman and first got scared when I came running from a turn and started hiding behind the man. I went close and he finally he opened up. Very curious, just began jumping on me. I blew him a flying kiss and continued with my run. Life keeps happening, and we shouldn't these small moments of joy go. | r/indiasocial | post | r/indiasocial | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jdXZsMXFlZ2dMYXROSjVYM3laMW5iakZtdjY0YlVDNHlGNEVQT1JyY05RWnMzbHJnclN4VkJ2NTNWa1pxbE5ua1VOVUZGTkNTelJCSTBWMEdGZ1hWcWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kQmx6V2VCNkszdFFhNUJBME5xc19rMXBNdVR0WHhycUJBSFhTUVFTQ0Y5WFZKTnF6bm5XdkJ2aWFHRFNYTk91UjlVQm5mZXplb2R1NWRxTTM5aXA1VTdpTEs1NTZhaWlMeGlaaDlVUGFtOFRraUJaMXQwdDZENTdZLWE5M0U1YW5IU3UzclJMcGhlc0pfd0Z3T2xqVmtBVnNvZ1JPNGhVaFo4cXRSU3pPNXVIZE9meUxOVTFnRXlHY0Q0S0k4T2Jo |
I hear this type of argument all the time: X actor is not good because he lacks range. Y actress only plays these two kinds of characters therefore she sucks. But why? Why should actors be able to transform into hundreds of different characters with hundreds of authentic accents? You don’t call a jazz musician lame because he can’t play death metal well; you don’t ask a quarterback to tackle other players. Of course, there are amazing actors who can do many things well, those ones win Oscar’s and are remembered as icons. But if an actor can do something really well, then they are good actors, full stop, even if the character they are playing is themselves. Whether or not they are limiting/wasting their potential is a different conversation. | r/unpopularopinion | post | r/unpopularopinion | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jYzgtRldFdWMwUDVqNldtUWJjamFPUW14ZmV4SFNrSkdIOW5QYmZjWGc3Sk9QenFUSFQwRi1oUTBMb0NRNWdHZ00zT0xVcTJuUkE1OEpKU0h4UGlJWWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kNEl1WThoR091QUNBTkNmbktBYXBhQktaNnVJVWJrSk9qQ2FOVGk5cUh1U3hMZ2pPWU05WTExNXVjcG9yMmJjNFZta0Zzd1lzaTl3YUhKYy1kVmd2bXVJRTMzVEtKUkU5bmNuYUJvb3piU1hldFcxZWMzSTVJNkQ2dXBMWDRELTFIM2pGUjJxUDg5Mi1HX0hfcGtycU1JdW41V3VZdm9ObDRIM2FhZk9PbEtBOU01aDVndC0tWVhqaUNBbmVaN2pJMVNBUTJmVnFVMkZPRHFqc01TMXVNdz09 |

Was taking to my dad (boomer) who grew up on a farm. They had the old-timey crank phone on a party line when he was a kid. They would talk to the operator in town if they needed a different line. When he was an adult, he used a Rolodex.
I forced my kids to memorize my number in case of emergency. Every other number they use is programmed into the phone, but most of their communication is done on apps anyway.
I had a *dozens* of 7-digit phone numbers memorized when I was a kid. Obviously friends, but also local businesses like the pizza joint and movie theater. | r/genx | post | r/GenX | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jVzR0T1k3OXcwQ0s1dW9sZ1p3Q3N6WEVtb05FdnY3OWNYbjNLTHNiYUNtS2JfaVFYTThUTDhxZmVlYWR4T3o5eE5aN3lMTkw4dXdpTmtYbXBjUnJkdzZFNHY2X203R0xnSnd1Ujlvb1ZUR2c9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kRjMxNjdCU1YzVUJmSHFlbWtQRURKV2p6VFdrN2NKTm4zSC01MzZxMVR3SjZ6YmhfVk5FVnNJeWlORjhOSUtlRHRUYjl2aDBCSHFUSFJTQkdsRVh5VVNEdWJYaklmbXktTkdqTlJZSzBkWGh6SjZrbDdCU01xUWRaeXNDa0xOSGl4c0FBemxyRGNHVjdDMVNhSV9qckYzWEdfM1RYQWI4R3dGekY3Q2IyNG15cms2SUw0THZad1VidTB4QTBhMXNJ |

Microsoft and Meta’s strong quarterly earnings and upbeat forecasts sparked a stock market rebound, with Microsoft reporting Q3 revenue of $70.1 billion (up 13%) and net income of $25.8 billion (up 18%), and Meta posting a 16% revenue jump to $42.3 billion and a 35% surge in net income to $16.6 billion. Their positive outlooks contrasted with Apple’s weaker China sales-down to $16 billion-and Amazon’s cloud growth missing expectations, both dragging their stocks lower after hours. Despite the rally, concerns remain: the Magnificent Seven tech stocks, which make up about a third of the S&P 500’s $47.2 trillion market value, still trade at high valuations (28x earnings, just below the five-year average of 33), and tariffs are raising costs across tech supply chains, especially for hardware firms heavily reliant on Asia. Analysts warn that even megacap tech is not immune to the long-term risks of tariffs, as shown by Nvidia’s projected $5.5 billion charge from U.S. export restrictions to China. With market volatility high and valuations stretched, experts recommend diversifying into sectors like financials and healthcare, which have lower forward P/Es (17x for both) and are showing stronger earnings momentum-financials’ earnings forecasts are up 4.5% this year, led by a 10.6% boost for investment banks and about 8% for diversified banks and consumer finance. | r/stocks | post | r/stocks | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jQnY0T1IwUWxJSkdmMUJ3T1BDTXRpaFFyOUJITUhDQzJ2WldfTE95UWM5MGFxREpUTXFlZk9kdTg2TThwaHNaOUZKNEdfTGdOVFdoN1NYVzg3NzN5OWdiMENlTjBqR3ZoQTFLSDZYMjFab2s9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kYXRpVjFHb09tY0VGMWlPUHBvYnJXN3p6azJ3Z0VoTzdLY0g1M3pFRzZldlUxWFctZVRCMXlxY0IxUjdpbjR2dzh0VFBrd0NTM0V6MU5hdmJLT2laMmNtWjNMdGVOQm1rR3hEWFBqOF9MZ1htcl8tZi0yVUctMnVyUENKc3NuWmg4RENLWmRWUGxDTUd0SE14WlRoQ2RqS0JLTy1Tb2U1Z05uRC1wNGRfaHdkN3RpeU9kX28yU2Jua2l4Nl9qZ0ZW |

In one of the posts about the passing of Mike Peters, I told the story of seeing The Alarm at the Tower Theater just outside of Philly back in 1988. After the show we went to a nearby bar. The band ended up showing up at the bar too, and I ended up playing pinball with Mike Peters and one of the other band members. Unfortunately, that one is missing from my collection of ticket stubs. But I did find this. Mike's autograph that I got that night. Good times. | r/genx | post | r/GenX | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jMktxUllhdlRtS0UwR1VCVnd5VHBiVGdLMWlYVUtXMzRjcm01ZTgybkNaRGlMS3N4d1J2TTRkRFkwTkQ2VmZuQ05HVFRsLWVQcWZrVjYxWVJiTEl2LUhHd2RxSlkybG56R1loYnZ0LWNaOGc9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kdVN2enJjd0trTlYtb19rRzYwaUdUd2J2TldpQ2R0VlFGem4ydG5kcmp4SURnWVk3MHV5YzN2ZWw1UUZ2aGRDclJlaEpqNWd4dnA3VHoxRTdUSE9Yc2dxSUVmTHVWWEFhWVNmaDExclp2WFZGNlRxbUVlNHRDMzZ5VFY3S0RUajVaVVpaMjM2ZnBQcFZkZGxzNXIzQVp2T0g1d2NPQ3hMeEtOSzNyVHA1TVdRPQ== |
My daughter is graduating HS next month and is off to college in the fall. She works part time all summer and will have about $4k saved when she goes to college.
I am of the mindset that financial independence promotes maturity and growth. Her college will be paid for including some loans but outside of that, she has to manage on her own. The one thing I may still pay for is her monthly phone bill. Am I being too stingy?
My wife supports sending her cash monthly so she can get her hair done, buy herself clothes, etc.
How have yall handled this sort of thing?
Edit: just to be clear, her tuition, meals, housing, books/fees and even misc expense ($1500) will ALL be paid for by me and her mom. On top of that, she has about $4k in her savings. | r/genx | post | r/GenX | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jZTk4MWFrM0U0SzlhUnE1YVRFbmFGU0t2a1haczd5d3huU1RFNjdjQlBWcEtQazFfbU9EX3NMY2l1cXRfWHIxSWhaNGNvQXJNaURBdTJfN1lXUHp4M2c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kUVh3M01xU3YzRkhmUWUtLV9BbDdMTUFORkpJaWhuYWdIZ0JhTm1JRkdBMlhnWWdUdjlvQWNVTVQ2aUwyQXFpcW1SSFJpSTAzd1NWYk1hRTBPUEJqU0ZSRjBhYWNOUjM5ZXpwbl9vbjYwdVZncW5Fd1h2WXVRaU9KN2FsTXpuVGJhbFpXVVZGNmNzYTM0Y0htTy1YUktpYTg0R3JHOEJuNExyczU1bkpCcHY0M1d6UEhRNFlzVzY1aGF0M2dsbFBX |

If April jobs report tomorrow is weak, markets will freak. If it is strong, markets simply will already move on to May and June's jobs report. The reason why we think May and June jobs reports are going to be very weak is because three sectors basically drive all of seasonal job growth in those two months, and at least 2 of those 3 sectors (leisure and hospitality, and logistics) will undershoot.
The logistics sector employment will be hit in May. So another way to look at this is, that the number of container ships departing China for US peaked on 4/16 and plunged 45% since...it takes 21 days to arrive at US...so this means that May's payroll period exactly falls in this period of import volume plunge.
But above all, it's the leisure and hospitality sector that will be account for the weakness in May and June.

Huang’s base salary rose to $1.5 million, a 49% increase from 2024, according to a proxy filing with the SEC on Thursday. His variable cash also went up by $1 million, or 50%, from the 2024 fiscal year. Stock awards grew to $38.8 million, bringing total pay to $49.9 million.
The compensation committee “believed this was appropriate in consideration of internal pay equity with the base salaries” of other top executives, the filing said, and “it represented Mr. Huang’s first base salary increase in 10 years.”

My gf and I have been dating for a little over 2 years and in those 2 years we’ve done the deed hundreds of times. After year one I told her that I’ve never had an orgasm in my life, which was true at the time, which made her upset because she thought that means she couldn’t satisfy me which in untrue. After seeing how that made her feel i decided to start faking my orgasms which boosted her mood. We’ve also recently went on a mini trip which during we did the deed and she actually made me orgasm for the first time in my life, and I feel the need to tell her the truth.

i need validation because why is this an unpopular opinion 😭 i just love the smell of cleanliness i suppose but it just smells really crisp and fresh. the people around me will never understand but maybe the internet will.
side note: I KNOW IT'S BAD FOR YOU. i don't actively seek the smell of bleach (yk) but whenever i encounter it, i always have to just sigh cus it's so good. | r/unpopularopinion | post | r/unpopularopinion | 2025-05-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5jX2gxRlYwMGtLSXdGNkw5S0N6dkQ5czc3WFN4R3BRVzdTYUtXUWlIYTAxbGtCWW1tQ3BtZElmaTZIMkd1dDFERUZlTTU3SmxlUjc3d3JwZkMyVEEyazdFdWVXQTdxZm5FTzZVR25NOVpHeTA9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9GbE5kWEZfNk5yWjBJRFpFeW1fSHZMbGR6NWlWT0pwTk02NjVaRVlQREFFYVFnVVZEbTBiTFJFLXBzYWxJdzZSdzJxMHdDb2ZDQktUeVk1bmxvMzl3TDBwY2lwR0MtZmZ3YU1WQlJxU0U2R1lRR2hoNmJqbUtkN1dmdnEyMWVXQnBPRWpuSXJZV1VSbWVwVVpWbEFZeURTZVA4UnBreGVmM1IwR09mVGdPckJGNk0td3lWOGdVXzFFTEFlWlBhWWVTcE9p |
