When you have enough personal info about a population you can engineer advertisement so effectively that you can convince that population of almost everything. See Brexit.
Very basic self-control. Do you seriously have a problem with eating your “candy stash” in one sitting? You need to speak with a doctor if this is the case.
When it’s 50% more than the historical yearly average return of the S&P 500, you’re right to be concerned.
I don’t know. I am a salary man. I know nothing about business and investment.
I’ll join the “don’t” crowd then but will also suggest that you should urgently get some financial literacy to avoid “scams” like these. If you really want to invest money into something, your best bet would be an index fund or an ETF tracking an index like the S&P 500 which historically returned on average (very important to highlight the “on average”, because not only does it mean that it can be less but it also means it should be a long-term investment for the law of large numbers to be in your favor, not mentioning that holding for long periods has tax advantages depending on where you live) 10.15% per year since 1957: investopedia.com/…/what-average-annual-return-sp-…
Avoid stock picking, options, cryptos etc… (unless you really, really know what you’re doing) and instead trust when people like Warren Buffett tell you to look at index funds or index ETFs instead and to let compounding do its magic over the years: cnbc.com/…/billionaire-warren-buffett-swears-by-t…
I’d suggest you buy a book like “The Psychology of Money” by Morgan Housel (very good one) and to read it before you make any investment decisions.
Leave it somewhere you don’t spend time. If you want some just take one not the entire bowl. Go back to where you normally hang out to consume it. Do not go back for more.
Corporations are scummy motherfuckers. Once they have this data they will keep it forever. Even if they don’t have a use for it now they can come up with something in the future and will have no qualms about fucking you over with it. The technology available to analyze it is only getting more powerful as time goes on.
What lasim does is allow you download your account settings. That’s all. So your subscriptions, block lists etc. It doesn’t allow you to transfer posts/comments so yes, your points will be zero on your new account.
If you admin a Community, you can’t transfer that automatically either.
Lemmy doesn’t display your score anyways except for individual posts/messages. Atleast not the web view.
I truly don’t get why it matters. On reddit I made a new account once a year or so anyways and on Lemmy I’ve got like 6 of these. I never paid any attention to my or anyone else’s karma either.
It is probably a scam, but maybe not. Ask him to explain the business plan to you and show you the numbers. If he is unwilling it is definitely a scam.
If you like video games, try a search for a video game of choice and add the words “role play”.
I was playing a lot of Kenshi and I found some YouTubers who make long playthroughs of games. Specifically I enjoyed Rycon Roleplays Kenshi which was something like 80 videos and each about an hr long. It would put me to sleep.
