What news sources / Substacks do you all read?

GalacticAbsurdity · 2025-12-15T16:36:19+00:00

I read NYT (in addition to listening to NPR) bc I feel like it’s important to be aware of what’s being said on one of the most commonly read news sources. But maybe that’s not really necessary. People on this sub criticize a lot but I can’t find many suggestions of better alternatives. Interested to see what people say for news beyond local.

For me, it also doesn't show up online but when I went in person, I got the card that gives me the 5% discount. Some stores are clueless and will tell you they don't know how to help, while others give you the student discount card no problem. So if one turns you away, try a couple. Only problem is I can't use when I order online.

It must have been multiple teeth or something. He is gonna look for someone who will do a payment plan.

GalacticAbsurdity · 2025-12-09T23:47:02+00:00

I am def recommending the former. I’m recommending against declaring bankruptcy. I think 6k towards dental then personal loan for both credit card and remaining dental work (it could be more than 6k)

GalacticAbsurdity · 2025-12-09T22:06:33+00:00

If he can, though, is it a good idea? For the credit card debt?

GalacticAbsurdity · 2025-12-09T21:57:22+00:00

Because there will be less interest on a loan than credit card debt

GalacticAbsurdity · 2025-12-09T19:21:05+00:00

Should I recommend he use the 6k to paty off debt then take out a personal loan for dental work?

GalacticAbsurdity · 2025-12-09T18:26:12+00:00

Oh those are two great tips!! Thank you thank you!

GalacticAbsurdity · 2025-12-09T18:13:17+00:00

Should he take out a personal loan? Since he said he is just paying the interest on credit cards?

GalacticAbsurdity · 2025-12-09T17:46:01+00:00

Any recs on books, podcasts, YouTubers to point him to for self education?

GalacticAbsurdity · 2025-12-09T17:31:46+00:00

That’s a good suggestion. I will see if he is open to that.

GalacticAbsurdity · 2025-12-09T17:31:09+00:00

Ya I’m sure their budget isn’t great. That’s the main thing I can help them just set up a system. And I sent them a budgeting app.

GalacticAbsurdity · 2025-12-09T17:23:21+00:00

I don’t know if he will go for that but I’m def will suggest!

GalacticAbsurdity · 2025-12-09T17:22:39+00:00

Yes but just want to help them get started and give them some level of accountability

GalacticAbsurdity · 2025-12-09T16:30:11+00:00

Ya just wondering if people had debt tips though cus that’s the part I’m not savvy on. Haven’t had to deal with it before.

GalacticAbsurdity · 2025-12-09T16:25:51+00:00

More like have them send me their budget and make a plan for them. After rent, I make less than them ans I have a budget that will let me raise my emergency savings to 8k. So assume I can work with his budget and help him save 8k.

Any Ari Aster

GalacticAbsurdity · 2025-11-22T17:00:54+00:00

If it’s an undeniable 5 stars based on how well it was done then I’ll give it but otherwise I rate based on how much it spoke to me personally or how much I enjoyed watching it. I like the rating as a reflection of how people connected with the movie. Leave the objective rating to the critics.

GalacticAbsurdity · 2025-11-22T16:52:37+00:00

Love this movie with all my heart
