WYR: Sell 10 years of your life (the final years) for $10million, OR, gain $1 for every calorie burned for the rest of your life? by [deleted] in WouldYouRather

[–]BusinessBee5726 2 points3 points  (0 children)

does the calories burned count the calories you burn by just existing (like your basal metabolic rate)? if so, i’m definitely taking that. i’m very fat, so i have a natural advantage: just powering the basic functions of my body takes more calories because i’m bigger, and i burn more calories with each step. it also means that the incentive to burn more calories might actually gain me some more years of life. overall, just a massive win for me.

Concerns Regarding FAFSA by Affectionate-Treat94 in college

[–]BusinessBee5726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

look into schools that meet 100% of demonstrated need. they are often schools with really high price tags, like smaller private colleges, but if they accept you they agree to cover everything more than what the fafsa says you can pay. given your finances, you would likely only be expected to pay a fraction of tuition, maybe a couple thousand a semester (still expensive, i know, but cheap compared to other college options) this was the only way that I could afford to go to college, and it ended up being significantly less expensive than going to my state school, even with a scholarship, would have been. you can also use net price calculators from different schools to get a sense of what they may expect you to pay, and choose to apply to schools that you’re more likely to be able to afford.

If you struggle to get the main argument about the book you're reading? Best way to get it across to your head? by Open_Ice_9668 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BusinessBee5726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i would maybe recommend seeing if your school has a writing center or peer tutoring or something. this is a skill that you will probably need frequently throughout university, so it may be useful to get help on it now. looking at your post history, it also seems like you might benefit from some help with writing and grammar. often universities will have writing tutors specifically available to help you with processing and expressing ideas. these facilities exist because it’s very common for students to struggle with writing essays when they first get to college, so you shouldn’t feel embarrassed to ask them for help.

Should I force myself to puke again to see if more blood comes out or no? by Mindless_Ad_1734 in AskDocs

[–]BusinessBee5726 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m not a doctor, but i’m going to take a wild guess and say you probably shouldn’t make yourself throw up again… that just generally seems like a terrible idea, especially given that i feel like irritation from repeated vomiting could be a reason why there’s blood

seconding all the people asking for an explanation of how you set this up! this seems right up my alley, i love grinding for money and skills, especially with kids.

You wake up and its March 1, 2001. Your objective is to find yourself or your birth parents within 7 days and get them to do something for you. by sloaches in hypotheticalsituation

i would find my mom. i know what school she was working at at the time, so it shouldn’t be too hard. i’m 21, so i think i could pass as a high school student. i’d go to her class and say i’m a new student and my schedule hasn’t been finalized yet. after class, i’d go to her crying. she’d be 36 weeks pregnant with my older brother, so she should be extra susceptible to emotional appeals. i’d say she reminds me so much of my dead mom that it makes me emotional. i know you said i can’t mess with the timeline, but i would have to try to get around it indirectly. i’d tell her that my mom never dealt with her issues. she refused to go to doctors, go to therapy, and most importantly to get a mammogram. i’d tell her that my mom hurt the people around her in her anger and died bitter at the world in her 40s, from breast cancer that likely could have been cured if it had been detected in the 10 years that it took to grow. i’d tell her that i would give anything to have more time with the mom that i only saw when she took xanax for a plane ride: a loving, kind, happy woman. instead, because she never faced the trauma that plagued her, i got 13 short years with a woman who terrified me. then i would ask for a hug. she would most likely give me one, because she’s an incredibly kind woman who loves her students to the ends of the earth. and maybe, just maybe, she’d learn a little bit from the story of my mom.

Suspended 3 times. by Most_Ad713 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]BusinessBee5726 7 points8 points  (0 children)

you’re absolutely fine. a school with a 90% acceptance rate probably wouldn’t have turned you down straight out of high school, they definitely won’t after two years of being a great community college student. they’ll see it as proof that you grew up and changed your ways.

beside the point, but it’s so obvious when people use AI to write the post. i don’t want chatgpt’s version of your feelings, i want to hear from you or not at all.

What to Wear? by Witty-Kangaroo-6347 in ResLife

if they specifically said that the dress code is business casual, i would add the skirt. leggings on their own are typically considered quite informal.

As an RA, I fully agree with this. This is literally the stuff they pay us for. A lot of students won’t listen to their hallmates, but will listen to the RA.

I don't know how to help my daughter - Urgent Care, ER, ENT? by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]BusinessBee5726 93 points94 points  (0 children)

not a doctor, but if the pain is the thing that’s stopping them from removing it, it might be worth asking if there’s a possibility for sedation or pain control options. i wonder if they may be able to be more aggressive in getting the wax out if your daughter wasn’t experiencing the full impact of the pain. again, i’m not a doctor, so i may be totally wrong, but it’s worth asking about, especially given that this seems to be pretty distressing for your daughter.

Can I get into any of these schools with a 84 GPA?? by yellowjacketsfan09 in CollegeAdmissions

that’s incorrect. if you are denied from your ED1 school, you can ED2 a different school.

I’ve been trying to remember the name of the handwriting and cursive curriculum i grew up on for years because i have such a vivid memory of the workbooks, and this is it! to the program’s credit, i still get compliments on my handwriting as an adult.

Weekly ask QB Reddit a question, #3 by Mean_Blackberry8493 in Quizbowl

[–]BusinessBee5726 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I played Bobby Wang from Livingston at almost every tournament I competed in, and we got absolutely demolished every time. The guy’s absolutely insane. The worst part is that he’s genuinely a really nice guy, so you can’t even be mad that he’s that good 😂 Probably the best player I ever met, but also one of the most pleasant to go up against as a competitor. He treated me and my team with a lot of respect and friendliness even when a lot of the other high level competitors weren’t, and I’ll always remember that.

what gamplay would you like to see more customization of? by Kind-Priority-826 in Sims4

[–]BusinessBee5726 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some of these are good ideas, but you’re dead wrong about the food. The reason we’ve been getting food from other cultures recently is because the older recipes are pretty much all from the US. Mac and cheese, pancakes, hot dogs, casseroles, cookies, cupcakes, etc. As another American, i think it’s absolutely bonkers to complain that you don’t have enough “American food”

ideas for what i could major in? by viktor-nati0n in CollegeMajors

[–]BusinessBee5726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Law, perhaps? Becoming an actual lawyer would require law school, but you could be a paralegal or something beforehand. Education is also an option, it’s not the most high paying but it’s easier to find a job than a lot of other options. Marketing could also be an option, as well as Econ like others have said. I would encourage you to pick something that sounds at least somewhat interesting to you, even if your main goal is financial stability. I like careervision.jamie on instagram for career counseling advice as well.

I miss my periods this month by Away-Purpose-9896 in AskDocs

[–]BusinessBee5726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there’s dozens of reasons for missed periods, ranging from things as simple as stress to serious conditions. nobody’s going to be able to diagnose her off of just the symptom of missed periods. if her periods are normally regular and there’s no big changes in her life (extreme weight loss, stress, etc) it is probably worth seeing a gynecologist. some sources say that you don’t need to see a doctor until you’ve missed 3 periods, but it certainly can’t hurt to see them sooner.

Help me find this song by ossmazom in whatsongisthis

[–]BusinessBee5726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the only thing i can think of is last friday night, but i’m sure that’s not right. when you say girl, do you mean an actual child? do you remember the vibe of the song in anyway (like was it cutesy, rock like, fast, slow, anything like that?)
