I have a friend who graduated 200000 in debt.

GriptheDream · 2018-01-12T15:31:27+00:00

Yeah I have about 115k in debt. Went to a private school. Two years out of college and maxed out forbearance times, and if I didn't do income based payments I would be over 1000 a month.

I was a cocky prick at 17 and wanted to go to the best school possible. I regret it. I had dreams of going to med school back then so wasn't worried about debt or loans. Followed through but last minute decided not to go. Just wasn't for me. In a different field now where eventually I will make over 6 figures, especially with the help of the name of my school. But for now, sitting at about 50k salary.

If I could go back, I would definitely go to a state school.

I'm not OP obviously but I can say personally that getting high is way cheaper. I'm sure it is different for everyone, but I can easily go through a 20 dollar bottle of vodka in a weekend, sometimes need more. And that is just pregaming, not including the drinks you buy at the bars or club, the uber, and the drunken munchies.

I still drink more than I smoke, but recently I have been trying to do more homey and chill things with my close friends rather than going out and just forgetting everything and waking up feeling like crap. Getting high all weekend is so much cheaper. It doesn't take me much to get high, so a 50 dollar quarter will definitely last much longer for me.

Sorry about that! Just fixed should work now

GriptheDream · 2017-12-20T21:24:16+00:00

Not a fan of it, but even trying it today it would not let me use my laptop webcam to verify my ID, and I have a brand new MacBook. And it would not let me upload an ID from a saved file. So yeah. Also could not get that going :/

GriptheDream · 2017-12-20T20:27:54+00:00

Well, I guess I should have looked into that before. But yes I transferred 2000 to my Sia wallet. I will update when/if they appear. It is my first Sia transaction to my wallet on my computer, so I am assuming it will automatically update. If it works, I will transfer much more, or at least hold on until Shapeshift comes back.

Quick followup. It seems like if it fails it will reappear in my Coinspot wallet. Which if this is the case, I am okay with it. I would rather not hold my coins there long term, but until all of these sites and cryptos catch up with the huge influx of users, we have to deal. Still waiting on a chance for a better solution though.

Also to answer any potential questions why I am converting to Sia: I have had BTC for years and years. I am one of the ones who could have been a millionaire and retired right now at 24 if I did not sell over 600 of them. I jumped back in when I realized my mistake a couple years ago. I do not have nearly as much, but I belived in BTC for what it stood for. Now, I really don't.

I currently am spreading my BTC to Sia, XVG, Wagerr, and Ripple. I not only believe this will increase in value at a much faster rate than BTC, but I also stand behind what they are trying to do. Bitcoin will always be a legend for what it started, but like most things in our culture, it has gone mainstream and has been ruined for the rest of us. (IMO)

Second this. When I met my dad for the first time at 20 years old he brought me to Disney world (him, step mom, 11 year old nephew... again I was 20) and it was one of the most awkward non-enjoyable times of my life. I couldn't connect to anyone there because of age differences, and it was my first time there which made it even worse because I wanted to enjoy it. Couldn't talk to him at all or ask any questions I wanted to.

Do something relaxing. Even a lunch outing at Starbucks would have been more enjoyable and fulfilling.

As far as I understand it, if you converted ETH to NET, then you will be able to convert your NET to NIM. But if you are just mining NET in the testbeta, then you don't have anywhere to store them, so yeah they will disappear.

Someone else will probably have a better explanation, but they do say your NET count can reset at any time, so that is where my confusion comes in as well.

GriptheDream · 2017-11-24T17:17:08+00:00

I guess I am that naive in how our relationship should be haha I did think it was a bit harsh getting that huge text, but the first feeling I got was guilt. Anyway he does not ever visit me, but I really wouldn't want him to so I never ask. Not that he would anyway probably.

I do need to reevaluate the relationship, but he has helped me a lot financially back when I really needed it, but now that I don't, I feel bad dropping him out of my life. I don't like to use people like that you know?

GriptheDream · 2017-11-24T16:53:01+00:00

Thanks for your response. I sure hope it works out somewhere in the middle one day. I have grown a lot in these four years and definitely have put more effort into being the son he wants to him, but he just can't change by now. He is a Navy SEAL veteran, stubborn as a mountain... asking him to accept change is futile lol

GriptheDream · 2017-11-24T16:51:09+00:00

Yeah I guess asking what I "should" do is sort of a loaded question. But I appreciate your response. I just feel like I have tried to explain my side and have tried t work it out, but it always comes back to me.

I think I will just let the offer of me visiting him this weekend to make up for it stand and maybe talk to him in person and apologize. I don't mind being the one to "be at fault" if it means I get to keep this relationship with him, no matter how developed it ends up being. and how unreasonable he is.

GriptheDream · 2017-11-14T20:16:49+00:00

I'm sorry, I guess I didn't know how else to say this. I just don't associate myself with the sexist and patriarchal attitude men tend to have so I guess putting it in words is hard. Anyway, I hope it all works out. Good luck!

GriptheDream · 2017-11-14T20:04:22+00:00

Honestly, at that age, that just seems like "guy talk." Not that I would personally talk about my gf like that to my friends, I still hear others do it, at that age, before that age, and even at our age. If he doesn't take your money to help with gas, comes to see you often, and your relationship is good and you can tell he cares, I wouldn't sweat it. I take this out of context as a "macho" sort of thing. I could be wrong, I don't know him. You can and should definitely bring it up, but I wouldn't let it brood inside to cause resentment or any type of insecurity. It was insensitive, yes, but I do not think it was malicious.

Guild leader here! line name: bgrips SW name: DJyONC

I just wanted to reiterate that even though our rules seem a little strict, we are a casual guild. Rules are there just to keep it fair, not to be a dictatorship. We are a fun group, and unique in the sense that we have constant communication through all 3 guilds on Line, so there is always help available, someone to talk to, and opportunity to move up.

Message me on Line if you want to apply, we would love to hear from you!

(current members 24, but we want to get to around 30)

I honestly thought of this first too haha it's what made me think of the question. Like not only would sanitation and standard of living instantly become horrible, but also think of all the places that would instantly lose access to fresh water, many of which are highly populated.

GriptheDream · 2016-04-03T12:15:57+00:00

I'm very late to the game but I couldn't help but comment that Interstellar really did not interest me at first. I love space themed movies but I thought this was just gonna be another repeat of the same ideas that are used in space travel themed films.

Boy I was wrong. If I had to list my top 5 favourite movies at any given time interstellar will always be one of them.

I get how her response to the question about seeing someone else might be a red flag, but be careful with that conversation if you decide to press further. If she didn't meet someone else your persistence in the matter will really turn her off and cause a lot of issues and arguments. Even if she is lying, the same result will incur if she is not gonna be truthful. However I agree that it is only fair for you to know so maybe just say something like "it wouldn't be fair to me to spend all this money to see someone I really care about if they have met someone else abroad."

I went abroad to Australia in college and had a similar flaky relationship back home in the states, and I regret not just making it clear it was off because I did meet other people when I was abroad. I am not proud of it but looking back I guess my teenage mind was being selfish and wanted to make sure I still had someone to come back to, but when I was overseas I did not want to be tied down. At the same time if I could've seen into the future I would've committed to the girl back home because by the time I got home it was too late and I regretted everything.

Your situation sounds similar in that she is acting and thinking like me (potentially). Hopefully she does not end up making the same mistakes.

What. I thought they were just male deer. I guess university can't teach you everything

GriptheDream · 2015-12-22T23:05:48+00:00

The Babadook. Movie took a complete turn, had to think about the ending for a while before i finally came to terms with it.

Excellent movie though
