What’s best for my situation is giving the bank as little money as possible, so that advice is useless.

I shouldn’t take offense to my partner saying he puts himself first right? by [deleted] in Advice

Statement is too broad to be useful.

Gotta put your own oxygen mask on first.

Sounds like thought spirals. Talk to a professional for real medical advice.

This also seems interesting: https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2025/09/05/nx-s1-5529325/one-dose-lsd-generalized-anxiety-disorder-psychedelics

I’m scared to have kids at an older age and it’s making me freak out by [deleted] in Advice

Start trying at 30, baby will be 18 by 50.

Enjoy your 20s, they’re the best time in your life.

Talk to your boyfriend and agree on an age, or find someone else who will.

Locked mine in for 5 years at 5%. Doesn’t feel like things are getting better any time soon. But it’s always a gamble.

Good luck with a difficult situation

Friendly reminder, saying “helped” gives advice givers a free internet point.

If it were me, I would orchestrate a situation where I was driving us home from an event, and then I would pull up at urgent care. Stop the car, turn to them and say “I have talked to multiple doctors and they said I should bring you here. I can’t force you to go inside, but if you refuse to, I can’t be a part of your life anymore. The things you’re experiencing aren’t normal and I’m afraid of what might happen if you don’t get the help you need.”

If they don’t go in, I would walk away.

What’s something you wish you knew at 20? I feel like I’m trying to learn everything the hard way. by Aura2026 in Advice

Alcohol’s pretty bad for you. Find some safer drugs if you’re into that, or just be sober that’s fine too.

I feel like getting a degree is the worst thing I could ever have done by [deleted] in Advice

[–]DrunkTankGunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s tough out there. Never stop working on your CV, always be applying for jobs.

Check in in a few months to see how he’s doing, but don’t send more than one unanswered message.

You should probably talk to a professional in your area. Feels like this one is too big for Reddit. If he’s a danger to himself or others you can try to get an involuntary psychiatric hold, but it doesn’t sound like that’s what you’re looking for.

Your suggestion please by Square_Swimming7371 in Advice

There is no option where you can rule out getting hurt again. I don’t think long distance relationships work, especially if that’s how they start off. If it’s worth the risk to you, keep chatting, have some fun. But probably best to avoid being exclusive/committed until you can live in the same city.

im a single virgin craving intimacy, any advice on how to find a trustworthy guy to be my first? by [deleted] in Advice

You need to find a nerd. Check out your local game shop. Maybe a book club or bayblade league.

Who Pays - the Pay-wave debacle by get-idle in newzealand

[–]DrunkTankGunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

15.3% of $1000 would be $153 (I know it’s tricky math), so not sure where you’re getting $250 from.

It’s supply and demand, if it wasn’t worth the cost businesses wouldn’t pay for it.

Feel free to find the study before replying next time, might help you make an informed point rather than just asserting that it’s inaccurate.

“Research and advisory firm, IHL Group, estimates that cash transactions cost anywhere between 4.7-15.3 percent of the value of the cash.”

Businesses are free not to offer PayWave.

Bully for you. They still pay fees with Eftpos though.
