I have nothing useful to contribute to the discussion, but I would like to say this conversation feels like Thanksgiving at my in-laws’ house.
My (uneducated) guess is that investing and doing business both tend to involve some amount of specialization, geographically as well as by domain and market, so a general purpose online setting might not be the place to go. Maybe classes at a local college or university or a conversation with a domain expert could be more suitable for your goals.

This makes me so irrationally angry. Where I live it’s usually just 12 year old kids on the bus who forgot headphones but still want to listen to the narration of the world’s shittiest tiktok videos rather than reading the captions. It’s fine. I’m fine. Everything is fine.

Just made it!

I don’t know about usual, but there is a huge wall between private/ personal and public/ professional for me. Nothing personal ends up under my own name if I can help it. Basically, I’m using my name as if it were the name of a business, and I use an alias or nickname otherwise.
Is there a Lemmy equivalent of r/wooosh
Amen and I think you’re preaching to the choir on that one lol

Those are not the benefits I expected to read haha. I just use it as a nice mindful moment to notice the warm water and smell of the soap. It’s a pretty good check in during the day for me.
