I think people should be more open about mental health tbh. There’s a fine line obviously but the reason people hide it and feel embarassed so much is because there’s this stigma that you shouldn’t talk about it. It should be more commonplace. “Hey I have the flu and can’t come in to work” vs “hey I’m having a really down day and need some personal time"

I agree people should be able to be more open about it. Struggle with my daughter being bi polar. She is a teen and had been stable but last week has been very vety unstable. Told a friend at work who asked how I was doing. Told the truth and friend asked why my daughter kept getting depressed. With bi polar who knows. Lithium levels , hormones it does not take much. I don't normally talk about it anymore much unless someone asks.

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide

Huge btc short position in market right now, I expect a lot of liquidity issues to come to light soon. Bitcoin should end up below 30k and stay there as new resistance soon.

Do you honestly believe the 10-40% defi interest rates were risk free. It’s all paid by stablecoin printing backed by the assumption that crypto prices would keep appreciating

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.
