Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

My whole take on not liking Ironheart

Isn't racist, isn't sexist, it's ageist. Actress is 30, looks 40, pretending to be 18, acts 12. "super genius" but dumb as *** actually.

If they went like young sheldon, super genius pre teen and made the story more focused on that, it'd be less bad.

That whole show is riddled with holes.

Protagonist starts off stealing property and pretends it's all bueno. Feels the need to constantly tell everyone she's hella smart. Smart people don't have to advertise it.

The big make a suit thing was hand-waived as "magic bro, don't worry about it." Still lost.

Only good thing about that show is Sacha Baron-Cohen.

Its the lower starting salary and delayed entry to the workforce.

That lower starting salary can be overcome. But not by many. Easiest way is to go for a complementary or advanced degree. Not all can afford that.

Well yeah, luck always plays a role when it comes to getting advantages in life. In the lifespan of 43 years though, I think this number is long enough to use strategy to minimize the disadvantage from bad luck. I know it's hyperbole, but I wouldn't use "life is ***" to describe someone graduate during a bad time.

Certain life choices sometimes get people drastic advantage but for whatever reason it isn't encouraged, which is always mind blowing to me.

For example, living with parents, even when you have a job and married. This saves your rent/mortgage and it can help you save $500 more per month. After 43 years that extra $500 you put in SP 500 every month can add another one million dollars in your portfolio due to compound interest.

In my culture, living with parents even after marriage is a popular choice, about 30%+ of married couples choose to do that. But it seems that in English speaking world living with parents is discouraged or even laughed at. Which, IMO, just leads to more lower income people having money problems because their monthly saving is $500 less per month due to rent/mortgage.

This kind of life choice is simple to make, but it makes all the difference in the world after 40 years.

Same can be said for owning a car v.s no car. Buy your Nvidia 5090 or don't buy, go on a trip or don't etc. every small money decision like this, can add up in the lifespan of 40+ years as compound interest from savings snowballs. And IMO, the difference between lower starting salary due to bad luck eventually become irrelevant.

I'm really confused as to why a person that's on a first name basis with the Queen of Wakanda is living in squalor resorting to crimes to fund her operations.

For the same reason that Thor doesn't just fly in and kill everyone

"reasons"

Why doesn't Dr Strange just portal all bad guys in every story to the shadowrealm.

"reasons"

The same reason the idiot goes into the haunted house.

"to make the story happen"

Hmmm guess I should spoiler this just in case

Brave is one hell of a browser btw. Chromium w/o the ads-stuff.
