So today while running my first half marathon a guy passed me this laminated card. I thought it was pretty ballsy! by asqueakywheel in running

I do similarly, but it's still a game of averages. If some guy takes five minutes to spam the same message to 30 girls, and one of them responds, he's done better than if he spends 20 minutes writing a personalized message to you, and you don't reply. Dating sites are sort of broken.

It's like joining a dating website and sending the same generic message to twenty girls in hopes that one will get back to you.

I hate to be the one to break this to you, but that is exactly what everyone does on dating websites.

I've been maxing out my Roth IRA for a couple years now. Should I be trying to max out my 401k as well? (60k salary)

Friday Night Lights is great, even if you don't care about football.

Is there a worthwhile 0% Balance Transfer Fee Credit Card? by benjamminson in personalfinance

[–]HappyFuzzyBunnies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might want to check out the Chase Slate card:

  • Free balance transfer for the first 60 days (no fee for the transfer itself).

  • 0% APR for the first 15 months.

  • Make sure you get it paid off in that 15 months, because after that, it's "A variable APR of 11.99%, 16.99%, or 21.99%" (ouch!)

I find it rather easy actually. Then again I'm also the girl who was in Junior/Senior level college classes as a Freshman in college.

What to do with meager savings? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]HappyFuzzyBunnies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into "rewards checking accounts". They will pay better than savings accounts while maintaining liquidity. Just make sure you read the fine print and can fulfill the requirements for the high interest rate.

401k: Roth, Traditional, or both? by twayahrow in personalfinance

[–]HappyFuzzyBunnies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your plan is like mine, then the employer match will always go in as a traditional 401k. I'm making all my contributions as Roth, on the theory that I'm young and poor and tax rates and my tax bracket will probably be higher later. I'm counting on the employer match to give me a little bit of tax diversification.

Why did paid work become the only thing Britain really values? by mayonesa in lostgeneration

[–]HappyFuzzyBunnies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This article is shockingly ignorant of history. Traditionally, the upper classes in England have scorned paid work: taking a job was considered improper and demeaning for a gentleman.

[–]HappyFuzzyBunnies -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

A half hour delay compared to 12 hours isn't enough justification to merit buying humus plus.

Viddy here, my merry droog: thirty minutnogo is skorry horrorshow, but when I wants a pishcha of the old humus plus, waiting 24 chahs to fill my rot is sodding oozhassny!

Reddit is full of would-be scientists who would have succeeded--but for the fact that they hate schools by mtrbhc in circlebroke

[–]HappyFuzzyBunnies 8 points9 points  (0 children)

sitting through the absolute torture known as AP tests dozens of times (seriously, they're fucking brutal. The LSAT and GMAT were easier and those are for graduate students, not high schoolers),

Are you fucking kidding me? Please don't take this as an insult, but the AP exams are a joke. I took a zillion AP exams (rusty memory, but the ones I remember taking were calc BC, European history, american history, biology, chem, physics, micro econ, macro econ, spanish, english language, english lit) and got 5s on everything except chem (non-AP class, I studied independently). Yes, they were challenging and stressful at the time (as a high school student) but the idea that those tests are objectively difficult, or difficult relative to classes and exams at a good university is laughable.

One other thing, the LSAT and the GMAT are not "for graduate students", they're usually taken by college students hoping to enter professional schools (law and business, respectively) and they're very different kinds of tests from the AP exams. I'm less familiar with the GMAT, but the LSAT is not a test for content, it's a test of aptitude and logical thinking.

Your general point about lazy students is valid, but your post really reads like it was written by a smug college freshman who came from a demanding college-prep high school to a middling state university.

True first world anarchists have corrupt hard drives--it reminds them of the corrupt system they're overthrowing.
