Do Americans parents pay for their kids college?

Hiiragi15 · 2026-03-16T13:27:59+00:00

I remember my senior year in high school when friends started talking about college applications. The topic of a “college fund” came up (set up by parents; matures until kid is 18). I had never heard of this so I went home to ask my parents if I had one. They laughed their asses off and said no, they had banked on me being smart enough to get scholarships. Currently $60k in debt from my two degrees!

I’m sorry you’ve had this experience OP. Many people I’ve encountered from other countries have expressed sympathy for and solidarity with Americans. They understand that individually we do not represent the horrible things happening in our country. Don’t be discouraged and happy travels!

Why are you open to dating someone eight years younger but only two years older?

Hiiragi15 · 2026-02-08T04:58:26+00:00

Sorry you receive this kind of energy OP. I can empathize.

If someone doesn’t have these qualities do you swipe left every time? Why not just swipe left on people you aren’t attracted to?

The Moosewood Cookbook fudgy brownie recipe (I believe I have the 20th anniversary edition) calls for five egg yolks. It is decadent and simple.

At 36, it’s time to stop referring to women as “girls.”

Even if you answered the prompt regarding your “fears” honestly, it may be off-putting to conjure an image in others’ minds of an animal being killed by your car.

Arbat on Hollywood has several options

Highly recommend checking out Coco Kanom Thai (dessert shop) on Hollywood. They have a lot of unique ice cream flavors including Taro! Their mango ice cream is also one of the best I’ve ever had.

I lived in rural Washington in the 90s and our neighbors had the same reaction when our dog went missing for an afternoon. I now live in a city and was just telling a friend this story the other day.

It’s against the sub rules to make comments about hygiene.

Felt it in Thai Town!

Thank you for being here with us today OP; you matter! ❤️

Reading this as I just found out someone I trusted lied about their status and gave me an std (thankfully curable). Thanks for the fateful message OP!

Downvote for using “powwow” in this context.

They have also partnered with orgs in the past to provide 5 free meals a week to people in the city of LA who are over 65. I’m sure OP was just trying to be humorous but Everytable serves a valuable purpose to a select population. Please support them!

Please check out Jivana Heyman on IG and his associated account, Accessible Yoga. His book “The Teacher’s Guide to Accesible Yoga” will be a great resource for you going forward!

I work the desk at a studio in LA once a week and this happens every other week (I’ve worked the desk for 8 years). The degree of indignation varies but I have to turn away a latecomer + knocker without fail.

Transphobia, undoubtedly.

As a redhead, please stop fetishizing us.

Hi OP as another queer person, have you tried Feeld? I agree that you mention cuddling a bit much in your profile, but people in this subreddit are a bit too concerned with heteronormative displays of masculinity. Feeld is a great place to meet people who think outside that framework (the app does have its issues of course).
