athos77 , to nostupidquestions in [US] Looking for some ideas for freelance work / "side hustle"

What state do you live in? And would you be willing to try dental schools?

Dental schools are a great recommendation, but with complicated work, they still charge a bit

athos77 ,

They do charge, but it would be less than similar work at a regular dentist's. Which would hopefully reduce the amount of money OP needs, either getting him into care earlier, or reducing the amount of stress he has while he gets the money together.

I will look into the dental schools in my area, thank you. I was so focused on finding a local dentist that would take an uninsured patient that it completely slipped my mind.

There are lots of translation, copywriting and voice acting jobs on freelance websites but obviously that won’t pay much as the requirements are usually just knowing English (but they do prefer native English speakers, + obviously another language if doing translaiton).

I wish I had even a mote of bilingual ability, translation work sounds like it would be interesting. I should definitely try my hand at amateur voice work though! That's a great idea, and I would never have considered it an option. Thank you!

Passive income is also called being rich.

subignition OP ,
@subignition@fedia.io avatar

Maybe that was the wrong choice of words. What would you suggest? I guess I can edit that to "side hustle" instead if that's more appropriate...?

Tb0n3 ,

Honestly the best side hustle is to better yourself and ultimately find a better primary hustle. Side hustles don’t do much more than steal your already limited leisure time.

@subignition@fedia.io avatar

Well, you're entirely right, but unfortunately that doesn't help me much in the moment. I appreciate your response regardless. <3

PM_Your_Nudes_Please ,

Yup. Collecting rent is passive income. But you actually need to be rich enough to own the property before you can collect rent.

Interest is passive income. But you need to have enough money to actually make the interest payments worth more than a few cents.

Investment returns are passive income. But you need to have enough invested, in a broad enough portfolio, to reliably pay dividends or return growth. To the point that a market dip in one sector won’t kill your investments.

And all of these already require a lot of money.

metaStatic ,

Find an exchange traded real estate investment trust and throw every spare dollar you have at it, now you're collecting rent without owning property. Typically paid quarterly unlike dividends which are usually every 6 months.

Currency is toilet paper, turn it into assets as fast as you can.

Time in the market > Timing the market

hahattpro ,

yeah cool. Thank for remind me being rich can also create a stream of income without do anything.

BmeBenji , to futurama in What are your guys' thoughts on the new episode?

I have to disagree with your point about the references to modern technology sticking out like a sore thumb. I binge the whole show at least once a year and there are countless jokes throughout the series poking fun at technology that was relevant at air date. The first one that comes to mind is Amy’s comically small cell phone (which was a flip phone) that she couldn’t carry around because the wireless charger was the size of a toaster.

Another that I can quickly think of is the way they portray the internet, and the direct references to websites like Napster. They even resorted to making jokes based off of internet memes that have LONG since died off. For example, the entire conflict between Fry and Leela in the episode with the MomCorp eyePhone is based on the popularity of Susan Boyle’s performance on Britain’s Got Talent from who knows what year.

If references to modern tech are off-putting to you, you haven’t payed any attention in older episodes.

I really liked it! Now I should probably find a place to watch it

AnimusAstralis , to futurama in What are your guys' thoughts on the new episode?

I liked a joke about Black Mirror being repetitive and unoriginal. I love Black Mirror.

nbafantest , to futurama in What are your guys' thoughts on the new episode?

I enjoyed it. They had a lot of the silly moments that earlier futurama had. Like bender accidentally hitting zoidberg, or just random things happening.

Those didn’t happen the last few seasons of futurama.

Automatic win for Zero Sugar Slurm alone!

ovrevik , to futurama in What are your guys' thoughts on the new episode?

Isn’t Slurms MacKenzie dead?

Burninator05 ,

I haven’t seen the new episode yet but it’s at least heavily implied that he dies by partying a roof down himself to stop the Wormulons.

ovrevik ,

There’s a Slurm Zero commercial in the middle of the episode and he’s old in it, hence the comment/question. 😅

all-knight-party OP ,
@all-knight-party@fedia.io avatar

I wouldn't be surprised if the Slurm company dragged his mangled corpse from under the rubble and prevented him from escaping his partying even in death

Fry’s been decapitated before and he’s fine. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@DichotoDeezNutz@lemmy.world avatar

I liked it! A bit too on the nose with the meta commentary for me though. Hopefully its just this first episode.

Zoid , (edited )

It probably is just this episode. They did the same thing although just at the start instead a whole episode with the Comedy Central Channel bit in Rebirth.

Overall it wasn't the strongest but had some great jokes. I'm super excited for the rest of the season and I'm glad they are releasing weekly. I keep visiting the page to see when the next episode is released and end up watching more old episodes.

@SmarfDurden@lemmy.world avatar

I know I’m in the minority here, but this is one of my least favorite episodes (be gentle). I thought the events were moving too fast and they had a quota to fit a certain amount of jokes per scene.

This is of course a cartoon and so I don’t expect every character’s reaction to make sense, but a lot of the decision-making was so silly even for Futurama. Leela’s decision to make episodes of that show indefinitely was so stupid that it felt like another character should have been the one making driving that decision. Bender is a character I could see coming up with that plan, but Leela should be better than that.

I don’t know. I guess it just wasn’t my thing

Nouveau_Burnswick ,

I think Leela’s decision tracks. She’s always been the level headed, analytical captain… until an emotional nerve is stuck.

We see similar behaviours frequently in earlier seasons, and she has always had a soft spot for Fry, even before she loved him.

The Humor bot bit about non-binary computers really for me. It was fast, odd and kind of strange. It was the best joke of the episode

The PC crowd follow up really got me

Big_Boss_77 , to futurama in What are your guys' thoughts on the new episode?
@Big_Boss_77@kbin.social avatar

I genuinely laughed at the episode a handful of times... I've got no complaints so far.

Except for the fact that Fry told me to binge no less than 10 episodes, and they only released one.

HandsHurtLoL , to futurama in What are your guys' thoughts on the new episode?

I liked the episode!

But I was going into it with expectations that it was going to be kind of mid like the first season of Disenchanted. I was very pleasantly surprised that there was like a legitimate plot line, even though it was kind of silly. It seem like the same level of incredulous shenanigans that Futurama has always gotten itself into.

uhauljoe , to futurama in What are your guys' thoughts on the new episode?
@uhauljoe@lemmy.world avatar

Ok interesting, I noticed Fry’s voice first! It smacked me in the face how familiar but aged he sounded! I’ll have to pay attention to Hermes in the next episode.

Overall, I liked the episode! I thought the topical references toward the beginning were funny.

It felt very fast to me though. Maybe just because it was something new, idk, but it felt like it went by so quick.

linearchaos ,
@linearchaos@lemmy.world avatar

Fry was a little more gravely and a little more of a relaxed cadence.

Leela actually had a single line with a bit of a grandma waiver.

They’re like 70 and 69 years old. there’s no way i would that consistent when i’m that old :)

Bender was on point though.

Jesus christ I had no idea they were that old. That is seriously impressive

gabe , to futurama in What are your guys' thoughts on the new episode?

I liked it. Zoidberg sounded a bit different out of all of them personally.
