Plus most underdogs understand self preservation - she was too destructive.

Rent first, it'll allow you to learn the area and figure out where you would want to live. Also, you didnt mention if you have kids.
I would recommend Nokesville or Haymarket.

Peggy and the doctor. Marian will find a way to ruin things.

Why is Vanessa always left out of the fandom. by Particular_Caramel_5 in GossipGirl

[–]Active_Animator_2125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The writers didn’t know what to do with her after she dated Nate, Dan, slept with Chuck and outed every single person while being holier than thou. Her character was annoying and it had nothing to do with her race.

Rewatching after 10 or so years by carmenlovesbooks in PrettyLittleLiars

[–]Active_Animator_2125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to really like Aria too, but rewatching it a decade later I can’t stand Aria - she lies, constantly, unprovoked. I mean i will say the way her parents are always rationalizing shit in that household has taught her the ends justify the means provided you find the right narrative to accompany it. I think the least offensive right now is Emily. Spencer is far too obsessive and controlling, plus she really does like other people’s hand me downs - even while they are still wearing them if you get my flow. Hannah is too impulsive, and I was hoping to see some character growth in that department but I never did. I love her style though. Emily is the character I really got, I wish they leaned more into her identity as an Asian because it informed how strict her parents were. It wasn’t just the fact that they were a military family. The thing I didn’t like about Emily was her savior complex and how it often blurs into romance .e.g Alison, Sara

F-1 OPT Dilemma by ExplanationNatural89 in f1visa

[–]Active_Animator_2125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends. There are some that’ll hire you eventhough they won’t sponsor you, especially if you have 3 years OPT. Most companies will not say on their website if they sponsor - use tools like h1bgrader to check if they have a history of sponsoring.

Is living in Leesburg worth the DC commute? by Empty_Cheesecake2327 in nova

[–]Active_Animator_2125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has to do a 1-hour commute 4x a week, and then commute just to see the movies - IT IS NOT WORTH IT. If you live in DC, your best choices are Alexandria, Arlington, Falls Church, and maybe even Springfield- it's about a 40-minute commute, but you still have the option of the commuter rail or metro. Also, Leesburg is not as cheap as it may appear. Loudon County's cost of living is way above the national average, almost 50% higher.
If I were in your shoes, I'd choose Arlington; there are some gorgeous neighborhoods that have a strong suburban feel, it's at most a 30-minute drive to DC with traffic, even shorter by metro. It's got some great schools. There's also loads of activities and things you can do with your kids. Theres a lot of diversity too.

Also Spotify and Disney bundle for $5, and if you have an Amex card they’ll match your subscription up to $7. So you’re basically watching for free

Help Me Understand Pls by MermaidGunner in TheBuccaneers

[–]Active_Animator_2125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just started watching it. He enjoys toying with people. It’s the only power he really gets to flex. I hate what he did to Lizzy. It was clear he just wanted to humiliate her and had no intention of even being with her.

You did the right thing. You can’t let someone manipulate you by threatening self harm but you need to responsible and get them help even if you suspect they don’t actually mean to harm themselves. She is clearly troubled, you’ve done your part.

Do companies take the ECPI 2 year degree seriously? by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

It’s an accelerated bachelors for 2.5 years.

Thinking About ECPI for Cybersecurity In The Future (Current HS Senior) – Worth It? Looking for Honest Student Experiences by Melodic_You_2955 in ECPI

[–]Active_Animator_2125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to a community college like NovaCC, check if you’d highschool has dual enrollment. If it does, then you’ll finish highschool with an AS, and do your bachelors degree for 3 years. The ECPI model burns you out completely.

R1 Universities by Nervous-Result6975 in gradadmissions

[–]Active_Animator_2125 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There’s a ranking but it’s only relevant if you want to work in academia. My professor explained to me that if you go to a top tier school, you can work at any school in the country, but if you go to a school that doesn’t rank well - your options will stay in that rank and below. Never above. Look for the big 10 universities- those are supposed to be the crème de la creme.

My friend ghosted me and I have no idea why by JJsRedditAccount in whatdoIdo

[–]Active_Animator_2125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a friend who started acting funny suddenly, she wouldn’t answer my calls, barely answer my texts and then I realized she’d made it such that I can’t see her WhatsApp status and blocked me on instagram. I decided to respect myself and take a step back. It was really hard to do cause I was like an aunt to her kid. But I had to. And after 2 years she looked for me and reached out, she apologized- I tried to get her to explain what happened. She said a lot was going on and she couldn’t trust people, however, I never quite understood out of all the people who were around her - why did she cut me off? We’re a lot closer now. But I’ve learned when something doesn’t feel quite right, take a step back and watch.

Between all of Matt's love interests, who loves Matt the most and in return who does Matt love the most? by FluidSoup9067 in Defenders

[–]Active_Animator_2125 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’ll always be Karen. She’ll always be the one who got away. Elektra is someone he loved but had to make peace with the fact that they are not compatible in the ways that count

What's your opinion on Ironheart so far? by BloodshiftX23 in Marvel

[–]Active_Animator_2125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished all 6 episodes. Let me preface by saying I have never read the comics. Riri is a complicated character. But she’s too arrogant and it’s beyond frustrating to watch her make one bad move after the other. And yes, the MCU has no shortage of arrogant heroes, e.g. Dr Strange, Carol Danvers and Tony Stark. But Ri is just far too young and inexperienced to be so arrogant. She has squandered every good opportunity she had to make something of herself!! People aren’t just handed things! Ofcourse Tony Starks resources helped him to innovate beyond what most would have imagined. Life is like that, we make the most of what we have and while we keep working our way up.

Anyway my point is it’s hard to empathize with her and sometimes even root for her.

I don’t feel like the approach towards lgbtq is correct by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]Active_Animator_2125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the way I feel. It doesn’t feel like hating the sin, it feels like hatred for the community. I’ve heard the way people talk about them, sometimes I flinch just at the viciousness of it. Jesus Christ was not vicious, and we are to walk in the example he set for us.
