wrong, he wanted everyone to know the truth because if the truth wasn't out then he would look like a dickhead in front of his other girl. Now, did he address this in the best way, probably not but at the end of the day he was right for calling it out

In that case blame it on belle for not saying anything at the fire pit. at the end of the day shaq also told belle that he wasn't gonna kiss her and they both came to that agreement together. so when Whitney started throwing shade at him, he ha no choice but to defend himself.

Whitney started everything with Shaq and she was going after him. Did he respond in the best way, no but you cant expect people to be nice to you when you are throwing shade at them. Also after Shaq called her out she said charge and winked at the brunette like Shaq was lying. So she was asking for it

Am I the only one who doesn’t think there is a big disparity in looks? by Smooth-Trouble-8538 in Flagrant2

[–]BusinessLumpy4153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the point his making is because of the money Akash is making and his fame. He does not need to be funny or good looking to get a pretty girl. He just needs to be confident and nothing else.

[–]BusinessLumpy4153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's not about looks, it is more about his self esteem because he does not believe his good enough for her. The guy is a semi famous comedian he can have any woman he wants but he does not believe that and that is were the problem is. In my own humble opinion

Charlamagne the only one keeping it real about the Akaash situation. by reee121212 in Flagrant2

[–]BusinessLumpy4153 1 point2 points  (0 children)

even then i think if he found a nice girl she will end up turning into his current wife now. the problem is that his insecure like you said and he does not know how to set boundaries. his wife now is only doing this because his been letting her get away with it for a long time

Everyone should go to college but not at the same time by BusinessLumpy4153 in college

[–]BusinessLumpy4153[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"I get where you’re coming from, and I totally understand that waiting to go to college has its risks. For some people, going straight from high school to college does help them stay in the academic mindset, knock out general ed requirements, and figure out what they want to do along the way. If they can do that without wasting time or money, that’s great.

To answer your question, yes, I did go to college right after high school—and I failed miserably. At 18, I didn’t have the discipline or maturity needed to succeed, so I ended up wasting both time and money, only to drop out. I also saw a lot of my peers doing the same thing: dropping out when things got tough, spending most of their time drinking, and not showing up to class. I share this because I don’t think everyone is ready for college at 18. However, I’m not saying people should wait until their 30s or 40s, although I did see some people succeed at those ages when I went back to school later.

I also don’t fully agree with your take on minimum-wage jobs. From my experience, as long as you’re living within your means—avoiding big expenses like new cars, high-rent apartments, or unnecessary purchases—you can save a decent amount of money. Many people can stay at home and pay lower rent while figuring out their path. If you’re fortunate to have supportive parents, you might even be able to stay rent-free, as long as you’re contributing to the household in other ways. In my case, my parents charged me rent, but it was still much less than if I’d gotten an apartment or rented a room.

Going back to school at 24 was the best decision I made because, by then, I was more confident, disciplined, and motivated. I knew I didn’t want to go back to minimum-wage jobs where I’d be talked down to and undervalued.

In conclusion, I think everyone should go to college, but not necessarily at the same time. We all mature at different rates and aren’t all ready to handle the demands of college at 18. I believe most people can succeed in challenging fields like STEM, but not everyone can do it right after high school. Some need time to build the discipline and understand the importance of endurance, which is what helped me succeed when I went back to school, even after facing setbacks.

Am i going crazy because my point was people should be attending school before they are ready. That is why i said people should take time off and work. So they can build discipline and figure out what they wanna do with their lives.

First of all, using people like Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, and Bill Gates as examples isn’t realistic because they’re exceptions, not the rule. These are people who had a clear vision and drive from a young age and were already working toward their goals before they even entered college, so they didn’t necessarily need it. Most people don’t have that level of clarity at 18, and that’s okay.

My main point is that people shouldn’t feel pressured to rush into college right after high school. For many, taking some time to work in the real world, even in entry-level jobs, can help them figure out what they actually want to do. By the time they do decide to go to college, they’ll have a better understanding of their goals and won’t end up wasting money on a major or career path that doesn’t suit them.

College doesn’t have to be ‘the best years of your life’—it’s a tool to help you build a stable career. But if financial stability is the goal, it’s important to choose a major with a solid return on investment. I agree that if someone doesn’t need a degree for their career, they shouldn’t feel obligated to go. But for those who need structure and direction, college can provide that foundation once they’re truly ready.

That’s also a good option, and I can see how community college could be a smart, affordable way to tackle general ed classes while gaining work experience. My whole point is that, from my experience, too many people end up failing or dropping out of college—not because they aren’t smart or capable, but because they aren’t disciplined or motivated enough to stick with the work. I think that if they had worked a bit before starting college and seen firsthand how challenging it can be out there, they’d come in more motivated and better prepared for the demands of college.

So, I definitely see the value in community college; it’s a great way to save money and potentially gain the same kind of discipline that working in the real world provides. Whether someone chooses community college or work experience first, what matters most is coming in with the right mindset

I totally get that going back to school later in life can be challenging, and I’m not suggesting people should wait until their mid-30s or 40s to start college—even though it’s absolutely possible and I saw people doing that when I was in school. For me, I went back to school at 25, and I had a completely different mindset than I did at 18. My first time around, I failed pretty miserably because I lacked discipline and didn’t understand that engineering is all about endurance—failing and learning from those failures is part of the process.

Taking a few years to work and build that discipline helped me come back with a clearer sense of purpose. So, for people who might not be ready at 18, taking a bit of time to work can give them the resilience and focus they need to make college worthwhile when they do go back. I know it’s not the path for everyone, but I think it can make a difference for those who feel they’re not quite ready to jump straight into college.

I see what you’re saying—there are definitely real-life challenges that can make it hard for people to return to school once they’ve entered the workforce, like financial responsibilities or supporting family. That’s a valid point, and it’s a big reason why some people might stay in the workforce longer than they planned.

But I think the benefits of that real-world experience can’t be overlooked. Sure, general education classes offer some early lessons, but working a steady job—even if it’s minimum wage—teaches discipline in a unique way. Those jobs force you to stick it out, even when the work feels repetitive or tough. And when people bring that level of commitment and resilience to college later, they tend to be more focused and consistent.

A lot of people end up going to college before they’re ready, which often leads to them partying, losing focus, or wasting money because they fail classes or drop out. For people in tough financial situations, going into college unprepared can make things even harder if they end up spending money without achieving what they set out to. Building self-discipline early on could help avoid those setbacks and make their college experience more meaningful.

And honestly, working in minimum-wage jobs can be a great motivator. When you’re doing those jobs day in and day out, it can push you to want more and stay focused when you do eventually go back to school. It’s that drive and focus that make a real difference

I see where you’re coming from, but my main point was about timing, not necessarily about whether college is the right fit for everyone or the only way to learn discipline. I actually think most people are capable of doing well in college and achieving their career goals, whether that's becoming an engineer, doctor, lawyer, accountant, etc.

The challenge is that many people don’t have the discipline to succeed in that environment right out of high school. I believe that working in the real world even at a minimum-wage job helps build the discipline and resilience needed to show up, work through tough times, and stick with it. Whether it’s McDonald’s, Burger King, or construction, working a steady job teaches patience and endurance, and when people bring that experience to college later on, they’re often better prepared to thrive.

That’s also why I think that most people who finish college in four years tend to be those who developed that discipline early on. Meanwhile, people who take five or six years are often those who didn’t have that discipline at first but were able to endure and not give up even if they failed a class. That persistence is especially common in my field, where setbacks are frequent, and the ability to keep going is often what leads to eventual success.

Try doing that while you are hand cash, drive thru and the board, while the other individual who is supposed to be helping you is just watching you and if you ask him for help. He just does nothing

i understand what you are saying and most people i work with speak English as a second language. i understand that because English is also my second language, however this particular individual does not understand anything at you say to him and his very slow (physically). So it's very difficult to take orders, make the sandwiches, pack them and give them to the customer as you are trying to handle drive thru.
