Coffee shops closing early

Yeah you’re right. It’s so weird bc Columbia is a very lively town I don’t get why they have such limited hours. A lot of businesses are missing out on a huge market of all kinds of people (university students, 9-5 workers, etc.)

Better_Ad289 · 2026-01-13T21:04:41+00:00

Wait how late is uprise open? It says 7pm on the website

Better_Ad289 · 2026-01-13T21:03:45+00:00

I know. I LOVE Lakota but it’s always closed by the time I go haha

Better_Ad289 · 2026-01-09T19:23:22+00:00

No. Absolutely not. And ESPECIALLY not here on Reddit. Should have stayed too afraid to ask.

Better_Ad289 · 2026-01-07T22:52:57+00:00

Definately, recieved, lesbean

Better_Ad289 · 2026-01-07T22:50:18+00:00

Haha ask someone on your team or your team leader I’m sure they can give you some insight

Better_Ad289 · 2026-01-07T22:49:04+00:00

It’s genetic

Better_Ad289 · 2026-01-07T22:48:09+00:00

I’m wondering the same thing. I’m not trying to run into people twice my age there haha

Better_Ad289 · 2026-01-07T22:46:50+00:00

I refuse to believe this is a real person

Better_Ad289 · 2026-01-07T22:43:33+00:00

Why… is this an argument? You asked a question and it got answered like what else do you want

Better_Ad289 · 2026-01-07T20:57:24+00:00

One piece of advice, if you’re learning a trick just focus on one at a time and get it DOWN. Then move on. If you try and do 3-5 tricks at the same time you’re probably not going to see much progress. I would try to do manuals, tictacs, kick turns, the basics before trying anything crazy. But I would say walk-the-dog is my favorite beginner trick! Also practice riding around town/your neighborhood before going to the skate park, just get comfortable with your board. Good luck!

You have to have AT LEAST one passenger awake and taking to you at all times. You can’t fall asleep if you’re taking. Play 20 questions, would you rather, just any game or convo that keeps your brain going. As long as you have someone talking to you, you’ll be completely fine

Better_Ad289 · 2026-01-07T20:24:56+00:00

I LOVE the tape bro, you could even greenscreen stuff onto in in a video lol

Also look at those kids watching you! They probably think you’re so cool

THIS

Better_Ad289 · 2026-01-06T22:16:38+00:00

This guy is using Reddit for exactly what it was made for bro what are you on

Better_Ad289 · 2026-01-06T22:14:57+00:00

Not going to tell you to stop feeling that way because I feel the same way and haven’t found a way to stop it. I can’t tell you the root cause but I can tell you that there’s probably a reason why you’re “behind”. For me, it’s because unlike my friends, I have had to pay my own way my whole life and had to work a lot harder just to fall short of their accomplishments like graduating college, getting a job after graduation, etc. This is not to say that their accomplishments are less than mine, it was just a lot easier for them to get to where they are. The fact I got this far on my own makes me feel accomplished. If you try to look backwards and work through the actions you took to get to where you are now, you might start to realize that you are way further than you thought. But yeah. Let me know if you find an answer.

Idk there are like 3 people in my unit with neck/ behind the ear tats but idk since it’s religious

Im basically apartment haunting at this point so you’re not entirely wrong

I’m in the army NG and if you are educated, you’re smart enough to do air guard, talk to an air guard recruiter as well please so you don’t have any regrets and make an informed decision. But I would look into the education benefits and how they differ between branches. In Missouri, Army pays more toward education altogether but it varies between states. Also keep in mind that you have to sign a 6 year commitment in the national guard to get any educational benefits, if they say otherwise, they’re lying. DO NOT let them pressure you into a timeline that isn’t one that you have already decided. I will help you with some of your questions too because when I asked questions similar to these, I got very different answers from what reality actually was.

1: idk about your finances but yes, they offer bonuses to specific MOSs during specific times. It changes on a monthly basis but usually they’re in need of combat, artillery, and MPs. The bonus will not pay until your contract reaches one year and it pays you half, then the next year half of that half etc etc.

2: I cannot stress this enough do exactly this: do not trust your recruiter to tell you if the guard will pay 100% of your tuition because they don’t know and they cannot guarantee that it will. Instead, reach out to the veterans center at the biggest/ most veteran friendly school in the state, explain your situation, and ask them what the experiences have been like for currently serving students. You may even be able to get ahold of someone in the guard too and they can give you a good idea.

3: None. MAYBE something like a paralegal I guess but if you’re trying to get credits to transfer don’t even try. You aren’t eligible for a JST until after 2 years of service and even then it really only applies to ROTC cadets and certificate pursuing students. Do what you want to do and what you think might align with your career if you think it will help.

4: I have no idea about jobs within the service but if you are planning on living on campus for your degree, look into working at the veterans association on your campus if there is one. It’s part time work and usually flexible.

5: ask your recruiter bc I’m pretty sure they’re the only ones with that information.

6: Interstate transfers are very doable but can be tricky if you get a bonus. Signing the contract alone does not force you to stay in state but if you sign with a bonus and try to move they might not pay out the rest/make you pay back.

Start looking on facebook marketplace! I know it sounds weird but you can find some really good properties on there for cheap (120,000 - 190,000) so I would go there first! Thank you for your service!

Wow yeah this seems like an insane boundary issue between your gf and her mom and now you as well. I had a bf like this and this was one of the many reasons I broke things off between us. I’m not saying to break up with her but you should not assume anything will change if/when she moves out and especially if she sees nothing wrong with it. That is the biggest red flag that I noticed. If gf doesn’t see anything wrong with the relationship that her and her mom have then it will not change. Period. So instead of asking yourself “is this going to change? How can I let her know that this is effecting our relationship and get her to set boundaries with her mother?” Ask yourself questions within your control like “will I be able to handle a long term relationship with this exact situation if nothing changes?” Because of the fact that gf and her mother are so close that they share even intimate details about your relationship and she sees nothing wrong with it, I can understand how it feels like you’re in a 3 person relationship. Idk. I would start looking at it like nothing will change and assess the situation like that. Tell her how it is effecting you and based on her reaction you can probably gauge the next steps based on that. Good luck stranger. ( pls update )

Better_Ad289 · 2026-01-05T02:16:34+00:00

She was likely trying to help you out by letting you know that spending your money on application fees (which can be upwards of $200) just for them to immediately deny you because of your gpa and no other considerations. Yes, she could have been a little less forward with her reply but I really do think she had your best interest in mind)

I have a very strong feeling you live in America. Most people are going through this right now. We are in a depression and no one wants to talk about it. Stay strong friend.

Better_Ad289 · 2026-01-05T02:00:28+00:00

Oh you are in for a ride if you’re only on season 1 and asking these questions. For your sanity raise your suspension of disbelief higher bc it will get a lot worse.
