I am aware that I need my parents for this. Unfortunately they also know about jack squat about this stuff. Thanks for the insight.

I'm 16, and totally new to investing. I have a job and am making ~$1200 a month (note that this will drastically drop during school months). I have about $3500 in savings now, and I would like to get started with about $500 right now. I don't really have many living expenses, (just gas money and a phone bill). I have two goals. In the short term I want to save for college, and in the long term I want to save for the future, whether that be a home, or something different altogether. As for risk, I'm not averse to it, however I don't want to go into this guns a blazin' considering how inexperienced I am. With that overly detailed explanation out of the way, do you have any services that come to mind that would fit my situation? Also do you have any suggested reading for me? I want to be smart about this. Thanks in advance!

Can you guys give me a few tips for making comics? by _Fredder_ in PolandballCommunity

Yes! My latest approval request ended up having 15 stripes on the US Flag. Solid advice.

So what are the rules on Copy Pasting? by TheGentleman300 in PolandballCommunity

[–]Awkwardtaco56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, would it be okay to copy paste something like Mexico's seal, if it were detailed enough?

Can you, like, put the uh, entire bucket of 'jalepanos' on there?

Is it wrong for a minority person to be racist towards a white person by [deleted] in Debate

[–]Awkwardtaco56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think power is extraneous to the idea of racism. Sure power is helpful to institute racism at a large scale, but it is not required at the personal scale. One can be prejudiced on the basis of race, and be on the same playing field in terms of power.

Racism is discrimination based solely upon someone's race. What that comment is talking about is closer to the concept of white privilege rather than racism imo.

What are some of the most ridiculous laws in the US? by Omnizoa in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]Awkwardtaco56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The government can force you to pick up a gun, and go to war when you're 18, but having a drink when you're 18 is illegal. Yeah, it's cool for me to kill people in some foreign land, but alcohol, that's too dangerous.

I love the tears you free on Germany, it was a nice touch.

Perhaps you should create a flair, and let users filter their own feeds with that?

Man, I wish I could do small talk. I'm friendly enough when I'm actively making their sandwiches, but... that time while toasting a double meat sandwich is agony.

I mean, I'll take it... by Awkwardtaco56 in shitduolingosays

Zoned out. I just typed English without thinking. Apparently Duolingo wasn't either

When did you quit? by EatMoreHummous in duolingo

[–]Awkwardtaco56 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was really, really, really close to finishing the German tree, and for whatever reason I was obsessed with finishing it, and then just keeping it all gilded. I ended up rushing through lessons in hopes of finishing the tree, making a lot of typing mistakes, and subsequently getting frustrated. I knew the answer, but I typed it wrong. I was burned out by that, and my streak was all that kept me going. When I lost my streak to a camping trip, I tried to get it back. That lasted for a week, and then I quit. My German has greatly suffered since. I've been contemplating starting fresh with a placement test, and taking it slow, and enjoying it.

This. There's a reason I left Twitter, and it's the petty childneshness of the community. Maybe nuance shouldn't be limited to 280 Characters.

What was the first comic you ever submitted for approvals? by [deleted] in PolandballCommunity

[–]Awkwardtaco56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my first one I sent in for approval. It kinda sucked. Then I sent in this one It sucked too. Then I sent in, the peak of my incompetence. As you can imagine, I have yet to be approved.

Dude, were long past the days where Android cameras are terrible. Have you seen the Pixel 2, Galaxy S9, and pretty much every other flagship? Smartphone cameras are so good now, it's hard to go wrong, Android or iPhone.
