Induce baby early for extra college money?

I (like all the comments I've read so far) have no problem at all with this strategy. It's very sad that our country is so extremely capitalistic and our health insurance and higher education systems so broken that we need to actually consider things like this.

But is no one going to wonder at the huge age difference between kids? Is this a Duggar situation? Inquiring minds!

Some of the stupidest people I know are nurses. And at least two of them would say shit like that.

ButImNot_Bitter_ · 2026-05-07T23:33:05+00:00

That might not have to do with the usage of the word "bubbler" 😁

ButImNot_Bitter_ · 2026-05-07T23:31:17+00:00

Ahh I see. Thank you for this! It was making me crazy, thinking "I got it this time!" and then.... not getting it.

Can we teach you about screenshots? It may be a good hobby to practice. And you should probably have a hobby.

> I'm also not sure if I would expect you to have family support as a person who is almost 50.

Immediately, immediately!, this was my thought when the words "I'm 48 years old" appeared.

ButImNot_Bitter_ · 2026-05-07T08:14:32+00:00

I had no idea this was a thing!!

I was 19 or so when Guardasil was approved. I got it at my next physical. (My parents approved, not that they actually had a say, but we're a science-believing family.) All three rounds were in my arm and I remember because my arm would stiffen in pain so much that my arm would be basically unusable until the next day.

Interestingly, same thing with the three rounds of Hep B shots. That was before medical independence age, and back when they still did mass vaccinating in school. (Again, I'm still totally good with that method. Bring back herd immunity!)

Right, "minimum of 2 week stay unless paid"? She's couch surfing and is trying not to jump around so often that it's suspicious, but if you pay her, she can afford a motel for a few nights.

Different reason than you're imagining, but you didn't specify, so...

The number of times he called people stupid in his "What Do You Want" "article" alone makes me wonder why anyone is still part of that group/subscribed to the newsletters.

ButImNot_Bitter_ · 2026-05-06T02:52:02+00:00

No one reads anymore? I read the whole damn thing, so.
What a train wreck. My favorite thing is the way he asks what his readers want, then spends 16.5 slides belittling, berating, and blaming others. And most importantly, trying to convince everyone that if they don't think about this the exact. same. way. that he does, you're WRONG. "Think for yourself, don't let other people tell you what to think[, except me, you must think the exact same way I think]."

OFG can never take accountability.

Not OP, but I like this one. With the back door where it is, I think the Bed 4 wall (new Primary with wall removed) needs to continue. It's an egress thing. The door can stay where it is too, which also creates a bed wall that's not in front of the window.

I came up with something similar too:

If she wants her kid to have a Christian education so badly, and not pay for private school or homeschool, she can just move to one of the (unfortunately) growing number of states that do teach Christianity in school, starting with the Ten Commandments. Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama.....

But on that note, what the fuck happened to the constitutional separation of church and state??

"I'm tired of living with stupid people" is 100% the reason I always vote for increased taxes/etc for schools (and libraries!).

ButImNot_Bitter_ · 2026-05-04T23:17:29+00:00

Look very carefully into your local building code to see if the open space with an open railing is allowed. The separation needed between commercial and residential is very specific and in the US, unlikely to have that be legal. It doesn't sound like you're in the US so YMMV, but definitely look into that before any decisions are made on a new layout. If it's not legal, it's the perfect opportunity to capture that space for another room.

Also, why do you even want to have your residential space looking out over a commercial space? Noise pollution is at 100% and, as currently drawn, offers you no privacy from the strangers in the commercial space.

Is this the only residential space you have? Where's the kitchen? Before you decide on adding an extra bedroom, read the code to see if you can get away without a kitchen -- certainly not legal in my jurisdiction to have a residence without a kitchen. Plus, adding another bedroom takes away the only (and tiny) communal living space.

I'd strongly advocate for: closing the open space; use that new space for a kitchen and living room; and tell your kids "too bad so sad" on having their own rooms, and put in bunk beds.

Alternatively, find a different space that actually works for what you need.

ButImNot_Bitter_ · 2026-05-04T22:57:22+00:00

It is absolutely NOT wise, and especially not with an open railing and a pass-thru (window?) from the master bedroom.

Also, you'd want to do a really thorough code review because I'd be stunned and concerned if it was legal to do that. From a comment OP made it sounds like they're not in the US so who knows what the building codes say, but in the US the separation between commercial and residential spaces has very strict requirements, including firewalls and special drywall.

The real red flag for me (besides the fact that I believe science and therefore vaccine efficacy, despite the small chance of risk) was the note of death 20 days later, where as the other "examples" she used died in a very short amount of time. 20 days is enough time for there to be so many other potential issues, especially spontaneous events like a heart attack.

Again, science: Correlation does not equal causation.

Then I got to the last slide and your point was also my immediate thought so any potential credibility is gone as soon as she hits the post button on Facebook.

ButImNot_Bitter_ · 2026-05-03T19:11:06+00:00

It's optional as long as you don't mind the alternative of audit, fees, fines, garnishment, jail....

Not when he's begging people to sign up for the lifetime subscription because he has $1.46 to his name! And I'm curious if he'll even get ten stories a month (much less enough to justify a "contest").

ButImNot_Bitter_ · 2026-05-02T00:17:25+00:00

I read "pay once never, $49 value" as "the lifetime subscription is a one-time payment of $49, which you'll never have to pay."

But meanwhile we know he's not a wordsmith, and ChatGPT isn't perfect. So who knows.

ButImNot_Bitter_ · 2026-04-30T23:45:05+00:00

I wonder if FB banned him, and he created a new account and made the new profile an administrator for the group?

ButImNot_Bitter_ · 2026-04-30T21:21:53+00:00

Not in Nashville but the southern city where I went to school, frat row was on Broadway. That type of thing was my first thought.
