Real Estate within the Context of Retirement Planning I wonder how the community factors real estate into their retirement calculations. I’m 35 and married. I don’t have much in retirement so I’m looking hard at my finances this year to see where we’re at, and where we want to be. I’m trying to do some calculations for my wife and me to see if we’re on track to retire (ever, let alone on time or e…

Instagram’s head says social media needs more context because of AI Illustration by Nick Barclay / The VergeIn a series of Threads posts this afternoon, Instagram head Adam Mosseri says users shouldn’t trust images they see online because AI is “clearly producing” content that’s easily mistaken for reality.

Understanding Net Income for my Budget (in the context of pre/post taxed contributions) TL;DR do I use my “net pay” (net-pay = gross – tax – retirement contributions) as my baseline for budget calculations or am I financially hobbling my present self by saving “too much”? I am going “back to basics” and recreating my budget in response to my first real large purchase (a “new” used car) to get better insight into my own 20/4/10 “ca…

What is the “blend” in context of a super telephoto lens? I need the definition of a “blend.” I’m looking at a big full frame telephoto lens, the really big ones that have their own tripod mount on them. Although the seller is saying there is an issue with the “blend” and “blend screw”. From context clues I’m guessing this is something to do with the len’s built in tripod mount but googleing is not he…

What songs take on a new meaning, perspective or vibe when context is added? Title might be poorly worded but here is an example that’s probably well known. Don’t Stand So Close To Me by the Police is a story about a student who is in love with her professor who is twice her age, according to the song.

How would you go about this pursuit? I would love to start my own side hustle taking photos of cannabis for growers. Issue is I have 0 experiance at trying to sell myself. I’m told I should sell my photos (though obviously as a novice photographer, I feel my photos are never any good) Is there a way to navigate this while still being humble? submitted by /u/Mr-Phungi

Which would you rather have in your living room? Context below We have a recliner couch that requires electricity. Husband loves it and it’s not going anywhere for now (much to my dismay lol). We’re having our flooring redone and I want to do a better job of hiding the outlet. There is a narrow table that goes behind the couch so that’s what usually hides it, but in the event we get new couches in the futur…

LPT: Focus on context of your life rather than content of your life to enhance your capability It is not the content of your life that matters. It is the context of your life that does. The problem with today’s world is that we have created rigid ideas of right and wrong. When our minds are so full of hierarchy, it is impossible to be wholeheartedly involved in any action. The moment you say something is superior and something is inferior…

What scene in a show makes absolutely no sense. Even within the show’s context? We tend to complain about the stupidest things in TV. But they’re usually explained in lore or by the characters actions. But what about the stupid scenes that make you go “How can they even do that in this world” submitted by /u/JustinSol2012

Most shockingly explicit song in an otherwise normie context? I submit H.W.C. off of Liz Phair’s eponymous attempt to break into the mainstream pop scene. This jaunty tune features some of the most sexually explicit lyrics I’ve ever heard outside of hip-hop. I really wish I could have seen the studio executives’ faces when they heard the chorus on this track. Nice one, Liz. submitted by /u/AZSnake …
