Why Arguing with Strangers on the Internet Is a Fool’s Errand

In the immortal words often attributed to Mark Twain, “Never argue with a fool; onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.” This sage advice, while centuries old, holds an even greater significance in today’s digital age where arguing with strangers on the internet has become a common pastime. The question arises: Why is engaging in online arguments, especially with those who seem intent on sowing discord, akin to arguing with fools, and how can we navigate these treacherous waters with our sanity intact?

Confession of the Day

Married 6 years. Together 18 years. Me: (f) 47. Him (m) 50. NO KIDS

Here’re my dilemma. My husband is a millionaire many times over, and retired at 50. He inherited all his money from his mother 4 years ago. We’ve lived together nearly 2 decades.

I have a modest amount of savings (around $250k), but they are largely tied up in my 401k, so can’t afford to retire anytime soon. I work 40+ hours a week, while Hubby stays home and indulges in expensive hobbies like golf and sailing, and takes long trips without me. Is it unreasonable of me to expect him to share his good financial luck with me?
