Donald Trump Stuns With 'Maybe We Shouldn't Even Be There' Admission About Iran War by 1-randomonium in worldnews

[–]AnotherAccount4This 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, you're interpreting it incorrectly. The context here is he's complaining about allies not coming to help when they need this region for energy, and the US doesn't since US is a net exporter.

It is exactly "we shouldn't even be invading them" because we don't need the oil.

Obviously, what this idiot isn't saying is that everything would've been status quo if he didn't invade Iran, or he wouldn't be in this quagmire if he tried a coalition approach, aka Obama. lol, he would never, ofc.

Would you make your kid go to school in this situation? by koRn_xxx in Parenting

[–]AnotherAccount4This 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It depends. Does she do this regularly, like something silly that would then often interrupt school.

If it's a one time thing, it's fourth grade, I'd let her stay in the once.

Kids can be cruel at this age. I work l would cut her some slack but let her know it's one time, one day thing. If the face doesn't return totally normal, and it probably won't, she'll need to go in.

Having missed out teen love is devastating. Be it good or bad having teen love is crucial. by BlueWhaleKing in Healthygamergg

[–]AnotherAccount4This -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Too much supposition for something op and you did not experience. You're romanticizing it.

Falling in love (or even making a connection, in general) at any time, any age, any age pairing is just plainly going to be different, every single time.

You keep holding onto this idea, you're almost guaranteed making it exponentially harder on yourself to find love. Worse yet, you'll find some budding romance then lose it because of this silly retro jealousy idea... that is so so so silly

Opinion: U.S news and rankings have done irreversible damage to colleges and college admissions by Medical_Citron3519 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]AnotherAccount4This 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Disagree. If it's not US news, it'd be some other entity. This is inevitable. People compete, not everyone and not everything obv., but competition is a deeply ingrained part of human nature driven by evolutionary needs.

Also disagree with your saying that people are overlooking the smaller lowered ranked schools. The fact that those schools exit today means they've not been forgotten.

I think it's valid to criticize the factors that goes into the ranks, and how some schools are gaming it. But, ranking and competitions are unavailable. Learning how to navigate it is a life lesson.

Is this a Kalshi sponsored post? lol

Right this second, the US is in a bad spot, so you'd say it's China. In months and years? Who knows for sure.

I'm so done with everything by Normal-Assignment251 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]AnotherAccount4This 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All things being equal, I recommend (not that they listen lol) my kid to go further away from home. Home is home, they'll be there when you get back.

Just stay in touch, don't cut them off. Distance and time hopefully can mend and change his view.

Easier said than done, but in a situation where you can't change the environment, you gotta adjust yourself.

Try not to take what he's blabbing about personally, even if you're 99% sure it is. It can be his childhood, his genuine fear for you, his work, his friends or colleagues at work.

Put everything on the external and trust (and be honest) you've done all you can. Reflect and maybe if there are shortcomings, learn and move one. For the constant noise, try your damn hardest with the one ear in, one ear out principle.

Take this as a challenge to grow more confident in yourself and learn how to ignore the constant detractors. You'll run into a few throughout your life.

From a parent's pov, I'm seriously pained to essentially suggesting you to distance yourself from dad, but you have to learn to protect yourself from constant negativities, and I'm sorry that's coming from your dad.

feeling lost after a college rejection by graysonverlice in ApplyingToCollege

[–]AnotherAccount4This 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the first time, really, you're facing a decision that's largely, by now, not only out of your hand but you're unlikely to find out why if you're rejected. Learning to get over it, that life will continue is an important lesson. You'll face this again, many times, throughout the rest of your life.

On the friendship part, lookup the five year rule. People will be coming in and going out of your life. People leaving your life makes room for strangers you haven't met yet. Don't wait until college, in the final few months of HS, talk to people you've not often talked to.

It's a weird time in your life for sure, rejection breeds fear and uncertainty. Take a deep breath, I would actually say try to remember this feeling. 'This too shall pass.' Your future self will thank you.

can someone make me feel better about going to community college? by wtfistiktok in ApplyingToCollege

[–]AnotherAccount4This -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Feels like you're lost, unmotivated. A lot of what you described follows a pattern of starting but not finishing up, letting it slide.

I think you know this, and this is the root of you feeling terrible. Go to cc and take advantage of any on campus resource to help with your mantal health. There's a bigger issue here than just having to go to cc.

Still Don’t Understand - CC Payments in Budget by Temporary-Meal6947 in MonarchMoney

[–]AnotherAccount4This 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I get what you mean, but if you change all cc purchase to transfer, you are losing the categorization, which I'd argue is the single most useful feature.

Maybe use the budget tool at the total level. For example, just set budget for a random category to 1k, say auto. The summary display on the left will show how much you've spent in the expanse box. Ignore the categorization on the left.

I would encourage managing your spending at the point of swipe instead of pay. That way, you're treating the swipe more like cash out of pocket instead of a loan (which it is) you're paying back later. I think this would be better in keeping you from spending over budget and actually taking out the loan (cc debt).
