Vent thread

What I’ve been reading is that the metals, mainly gold, are sort of an insurance investment. They tend to gain value parallel to inflation thus giving your dollars some level of security against it, but only rarely actually make a big profit per se. Good to put some of your savings into under that logic.
 
Everything in life seems like a freakin’ gamble doesn’t it?

Rather than investing on Bitcon you should pick a good bank with decent interest rates and deposit your saved money there for safekeeping until you really need it.  
That’s what I do.

@Anonycat  
Invest in real estate if you have money.

@Anonycat  
Except that most banks have a very low APR on savings, usually less than 0.50% APR. A few online banks like Ally do offer at least 1% APR (and I do have a savings account with them, btw), but it’s just not enough growth for everyone.

If you want to go poor fast.
 
Investing in real-estate with no experience in it is a sure-fire way to lose loads.
 
 
Dividend stocks and mutual funds (with a bond or two).
 
Slow and steady money, great for just sitting in the background. They won’t turn you into Warren Buffett, but they’re a good, safe choice to young investors. Be it for a safety net, rainy day fund, retirement, or drinking money.

Wanna make REAL money? Here’s the tool of the trade.
 

 
j/k. Kinda.

@Zincy  
Well, you can keep a rainy day fund at home if you are careful with your money.  
I have no vices (outside of watching internet drama of course), I’m not a compulssive buyer and I lead a considerably frugal lifestyle (with the ocassional treat now and then because I’m frugal but not a fanatic) so I always have a considerable emergency money stashed at home.  
To be exact, I have 4.5 million pesos on a metal box, enough to pay my rent, bills and living expenses for over a year in case I lose my job or what have you.  
Living in a city with low housing costs certainly helped, though.

Speaking of good opportunities for investment…AT&T is down for the first time in months.
 
Think I’ll snap up some tomorrow.

Some wise guy decided to machine drill a board to the side of my A/C so it can’t be worked on, I had to use a screwdriver to get them out by hand.
 
No damage but it burned like crap!

@Badheart  
Why? Why would anyone do that?

@HJSDGCE  
I guess the heat out here gave them brain damage, sobered up from a few beers and hopped to it.
 
The guy who tried to fix it wasn’t very happy about it either.

Hey guys! Did you hear about the pony raid at VRchat yet?

@Prince Areo  
Sounds neat.

@HJSDGCE  
Correction: It sound glorious! Basically, to counter the Ugandan Knuckles invasion of VRChat.

Woah, I just got a small bug that linked me from the notification page to the Vent Thread, but a post from 1 whole day ago.
 
That’s weird.
 
For those wondering, the notification post that I clicked was this.

Happy vent: I love how this thing turned out.
 
 

 
Also, EQD feature!

@warc9  
i thought scootaloo as a chicken is scootabuse for you?

@OptimusPrimevil  
No, beacuse it’s not physical abuse nor emotional abuse (her looking grumpy doesn’t count)
 
Besides that:
 

 
Scootachicken + Scootalove can eggist and the result is quite acluckble.
 
Not saying there isn’t monstrositys that are scootabuse and scootachicken.
 
But there is just something about a cute scootachicken image that makes me go… Daww.
 
 
What a cute little chicken pone <3

WHY AM I HUNGRY?! IT’S NOT TIME TO PREPARE DINNER YET!

@HJSDGCE  
FEED MEEEEEE!!!!  
I had to…

@Prince Areo
 
God that Ugandan Knuckles meme. I haven’t played long enough to encounter it yet. The meme will probably get old and dissipate in few days for all I know lol. Nothing like sipping a martini at the virtual bar then all of a sudden over a hundred 8th graders storm in. Sheesh.
 
I’d rather get raided by a bunch of anime vixens or something.

@HJSDGCE  
Well what are you waiting for? Chow down!

@ArkyNoid  
I’d rather be raided by anthro furry females than the knuckles meme. Meme comes and goes you know.

I just discovered my cat has an curved nail digging into her paw. I can’t cut it, it’s too curved.
 
There’s no waiting on this, she’s going to the groomers!
