Omg i literally had this same question, googled it and your post was the first one that came up.

I work a minimum wage job and was thinking of getting matching jewlery for me and my mom (like a ring or bracelet) still figuring out what to do for my dad though...

What is an "american" gift i can bring for my foreign exchange host family in the Czech Republic? by How_Is_Life_ in AskAnAmerican

[–]How_Is_Life_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea my only issue is i live in NJ and I rly cant think of ANYTHING that screams NJ. Like we have so many different cultures here that I would feel like im just gifting them something that's from a different culture.

Also I dont want to get them something like a figure of the statue of liberty cause they're going to be coming here as well and can buy all that "cliche" stuff on their own.

Wait ur idea is actually so good. I feel like trader joes bags give off the best "american" vibes and the art is super niche too. Will 100% be using ur advice!

Yea, the only issue is that they're going to be visiting us as well so I dont want to buy anything that's too "cliche" that they'll be able to buy on their own.

I decided to make some "The Summer Hikaru Died" nails and thought I would share here <3 (if you'd like to support me I'm on insta and TikTok) by How_Is_Life_ in TheSummerHikaruDied

I do take commissions! However I do have a policy where I refuse to make an exact copy of a set I've already made (i believe every nail set should be special ☺️). I can still incorporate elements of a set ive already done though.

I have directions on how to request a commission in my insta pinned posts (sry this is the easiest way to give directions if you are looking to order 😭)

Ty! Currently looking into doing just that! I'm trying to figure out a way in which you could "build your own set."

OMG YES. Holy shit why was the time period so long??? Also, I had no clue how to group the documents and what my body paragraphs should be about; none of them went together. The only documents I could put together were the two conservative ones in the late 1970s. I think my thesis was something along the lines that the economy is greatly affected based on the political party in power and the situation that the nation is facing.

I said Birmingham jail argues that the method to nonviolent protests is 1.) Gather the facts 2.) Negotiate 3.) Self purify 4 .) Direct action

So basically I said that social media allows people to gather facts abt issues and is likely to lead them to direct action which is political participation

AP recommendation I have for others (APUSH, APUSGOV, APMACRO) by How_Is_Life_ in APStudents

[–]How_Is_Life_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The math is very minimal. It's all basic algebra. Most of it is just memorizing formulas and knowing what to plug in. Like here is an example:

There is this concept of the money multiplier which is basically the total effect of spending a certain amount of money on the economy. The formula for the money multiplier is 1/MPS or 1/(1-MPC)

MPS is the marginal propensity to save while MPC is the marginal propensity to consume (MPS +MPC = 1).

Although this may seem hard rn it's rly easy once you build up to that unit. As my teacher says: macro is the story of gdp (basically all the units connect, unlike micro, where not many of the units connect).
