Retirement in the USA is a scam
  • If your portfolio is down that much over that period of time, you are likely not making good investment choices. S&P500 is up like 50% since 2021...

    Your losses or lack of portfolio growth isn't really something to complain about online without more info on what your asset mix is. Unless your goal was just to complain, and not get any advice from helpful anons that are having more success in investment choices.

    It’s invested in total market funds, some tech, some big cap companies, and healthcare

    Tech, big cap, and healthcare are already part of the total market funds, so you're over-weighting (taking excess risk) by investing that way. Assuming you're pretty young based on time in market, you'd be fine with just the total market fund, until you have more experience with the market or just want a set and forget, for a while.

    Biden says Elon Musk was an 'illegal worker' when he began U.S. career
  • IIRC, he was in the US on a student visa. Then he dropped out and started working. Wouldn't that mean his visa would be voided, and he then become gasp and illegal immigrant?

    Trump ground game faces new fraud claims as video shows door-knock hack
  • This is because they are paid for the canvassing, right? I can't fathom a reason why to bother with this, if not for that. Other than maybe some Dem tomfoolery to skew the ground game reporting, I guess.

    Walking in short bursts found to consume 20% to 60% more energy than walking continuously for same distance
  • This is fascinating. I hate the treadmill due to the monotony of doing that for 20-20 minutes. If I could break that up into 5-minute chunks over the course of the day, it's less monotonous, for sure.

    Hungry for Energy, Amazon, Google and Microsoft Turn to Nuclear Power | Large technology companies are investing billions of dollars in nuclear energy as an emissions-free source of electricity for AI
  • Investing billions

    Weren't the headlines a week or two ago about Microsoft trying to get taxpayer funded aid for reopening 3-mile Island? Companies shouldn't be asking for taxpayer funded handouts when they are basically printing money at this point.

    i think Hulu speeds up parts of Futurama episodes.
  • It's for ad time. At some point, the TV industry realized though couldn't get studios to make "30 minute" shows shorter then they already were (for ad breaks), so they artificially compress those show times to fit more seconds of ads in addition to the ad breaks they already had time for.

    So say a studio releases a 20 minute episode of content for a 30-minute time block, distribution companies like Hulu will take that 10 minutes for ads,, plus compress (by speeding up) the 20 minute episode, too. It wouldn't even surprise me if they use an algorithm to determine which parts of the episode they can speed up more aggressively than others, to hide that impact from the viewer.

    Rapist Trump lied about claim that FBI properly investigated Kavanaugh
  • Wouldn't matter. The only means of reversing this is impeachment of a SCOTUS judge, or him stepping down willingly. That's why things like passing laws for term limits matter, to at least eventually get these people off the bench.

  • For me, it's a light grey color and the text is white, even when CarPlay is set to always use dark mode. This is hard for me to read, but I can't find any way to change this. I'd rather just have an actual dark background when in dark mode.

    For folks using multiple accounts, it feels a bit buried to go from content in one to the other. It would be nice if the number of taps to go between different accounts was reduced by a few.

    I don’t know if this is the app, instance issues, or both, but I’ve found this feature to not work well

    I think it would be cool to be able to swipe left/right when viewing an image post from the feed or in a community and be able to go from post to post like a slideshow.
