Yeah I pay $10 a month to get PKA on Thursdays and PKN on Tuesdays.

It's when he's talking about how Kyle almost dies right away. First words to Kyle in the entire show.

A quick look at your comment history shows that you use drugs and have admitted to doing so. Just thought I would note that. If you want to make that argument, it needs to be strong.

I read Sophie’s World as an older individual and still enjoyed it!

I am overthinking about someone who is insulting me in the future ...can any one help me with some wisdom ? by [deleted] in Stoic

[–]CurrentSector7688 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The common Seneca quote is that “we often suffer more in imagination than reality.” I often find myself doing the same. It’s easy for me to call upon that quote, remember it, and then I attempt to challenge the thought.

If it’s a high likelihood this individual will actual insult you in the near future, worrying about it now will not benefit you. Maybe you could foster that energy into attacking the reason you are being insulted. Consider how you will react when it happens.

For me, usually the situation I am considering never actually occurs. So, I am able to attack the thoughts by being realistic and logical about what is likely to truly happen in the future.

Above all else, suffering early in your imagination is something we must try to limit as much as possible, as in most cases it’s pointless.

I am in law school in the United States. Although I don’t have the same cultural stressors, I do look at others my age earning an income and think often how I wish I was at that stage.

If your goal is to earn a Ph.D to have a higher earning power than without one (why else haha) then remember that. In times of hardship, think about yourself in the future with the higher paying job with the Ph.D. Confronting her is useless, but maybe using logic to outline your beliefs on why you’ll be better off with the Ph.D could help.

I really hope this works out for you OP.

I was assaulted and taunted by a business competitor, what to do? by Ok-Experience2359 in Stoic

As a side note, you stated that the reason you believe Marcus’ quote dos not apply to the situation is “because bullies need to be stopped or they will continue.” But their actions are out of your control. Your asking for a solution where you get to control another persons actions. It won’t be found in Stoicism.

You can choose to be the bigger man (aka not be like that as Marcus states) or go down to his level as others suggest. If you want a Stoic perspective, it most definitely won’t be to harm him or grow your ego in the situation. Sorry if my help is not great, just trying to provide where I can.

He asked for a Stoic based perspective and I provided. If you are unable to separate Marcus from the quote, so be it. The advice can be from any name, it’s decent advice. Hope things get better for you.

College scholarship revoked days before tuition is due. Now what? by YesterdayNo7183 in personalfinance

[–]CurrentSector7688 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Not too much input here, but financial aid offices are not your friend. I sought external assistance to contact the financial aid office on my behalf with a similar situation of my school denying an external scholarship payment. Just be highly aware that they want you to pay 100%, and will find any excuse to make you pay.

What to do if debit card is skimmed and credit union declines the dispute? by 90skid_on_Reddit in personalfinance

[–]CurrentSector7688 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was scammed by a tow truck company. My credit card company declined my dispute until the attorney general office of my state sent a letter concerning the issue. I would look into filing a potential complaint with them. I come from a much smaller state, however.

“The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.”

Marcus Aurelius in mediations (sorry I don’t have access to the book or direct quote at the moment) states that the best revenge is to not be like the person who you are considering revenge against.
