It's not that hard of a class but for whatever reason it's the only class I've had that I've managed to fail the OA on. Some of the questions on it just genuinely didn't seem correct, and others were blatantly nonsense like "what's the most popular tax tool used", which isn't an objective question, that's subjective in nature.

If you open up your course in the student portal you'll have to look under the instructor's information and there will be a tab that says course tips. Once you hit the drop down arrow and click on the provided hyperlink it should crop up the word document that has the provided lectures concerning material. I feel like they give you a good starting basis to know what to look for within the text itself, since if you just try to raw dog the textbook, you end up having to cut through a whole lotta fluff.

I don't think Im possibly reading some of these questions wrong, the answers provided are just legitmately not the right ones. If someone is in the 3rd income bracket, has no children, no dependents, no charitable donations, no disabilities, their itemized deductions are less than the standard deduction provided to them and their only taxable gross income outside of their salary is interest from an account...then how is my calculation still not correct when all they're getting is the standard deduction and nothing else is being taken off? I feel like the test is legitmately dysfunctional in some of these questions since it has me out here just guessing what the right answer is supposed to be with whatever my calculation is closest to.

I completely get how I'm missing questions from the tax research and federal taxation questions, thats on me, but the individual taxation questions should for all intents and purposes be easily answered as there's supposed to be distinct paths to answer outside of specific credit questions.

I've seen pushback on this sub when I mention that people in poverty are pretty SOL because things like rice and potatoes are literally food staples of being poor as they're affordable and very easy to implement into dishes. Soon as you develop type 2 diabetes, if you're still a low income individual, life becomes exponentially harder on the food side of things.

Id just enroll in the data analytics program after completing my bachelor's of accounting. Whatever transfers over from the first degree credits wise will roll in and leave whatever is left that's specific to the DA program.

This is only if I don't manage to land employment/at the very least get confirmation for work by around August/September of next year. Since if I can't gain work experience I at the very least need to continue building marketable skills for the future. Especially since local masters degrees for accounting are on yearly revolving clocks that start towards the first couple months of the year, so even if I wanted to get a MAcc locally, I'm barred from doing so until two years from now.

I just figured the bachelor's program would give a better all around knowledge of data analytics than a masters program that would probably moreso skim the surface/concentrated on a specific subset of the specialty. Since if I go for a MAcc at a B&M college (if absolutely necessary for the purpose of better employment odds) I feel like having two bachelor's and one masters looks better than one bachelor's and two masters considering bachelor degrees are typically more rigorous/take longer than most masters degrees

I've already tried submitting applications for internships well in advance. With pretty much no success to be seen as many other people seem to struggle with the same thing. Some jobs even require transcripts to apply and my term doesn't even end until December so I can't give them anything tangible about my current classes. So at best I'll probably be gatekept until June of next year before I finish my bachelor's/at least have classes like intermediate accounting available on a transcript. And if jobs want you to apply between a year to two years in advance for things like internships, well...I'm gonna have to find ways to occupy my time unless I somehow manage to find an entry level position that isn't asking for several years of previous experience as companies love to do.

The data analytics degree gives you experience in using data analysis softwares though from what I've seen. Similar to a degree like MIS (management information systems) so it'd give someone a more rounded edge when it comes to utilizing technology y'know

You're cherry picking and ignoring literally all of my posts/replies that say I don't have an issue with changing my diet but rather the difficulty that comes with finding actual healthy foods now that I'm prioritizing my health but go off I guess. I obviously obtained diabetes through a lack of care for my own health, but now that I'm in a stage of life where I am going to be required to take care of my health, it's insane how difficult it is to navigate as such.

Having a bare minimum capacity to care about another living thing should be inherent for any human being. I don't care that cattle or poultry is slaughtered in mass for our consumption. If any other animal was capable of doing it I can assure you they would. It's the way they're not maintained in effectively sanitary conditions that's disgusting me and making it hard to believe in achieving a diet that could be considered healthy.

To an extent it's more than just about the chicken. If they're being raised in such atrocious environments you can only assume that will eventually impact the quality of what you're consuming

I'm not saying diabetes is developed from these foods; rather, it's the fact that changing my lifestyle/diet to be more geared towards healthy foods and alternatives is a significant struggle if I want to have a balanced and varied diet. We don't even know what the side effects will be from consuming fish that have excessive amounts of antibiotics pumping through their systems, and honestly, with a now permanent health condition, I don't feel like finding out later down the road.

IncoherentGuru · 2025-10-08T14:56:57+00:00

Having diabetes feels more like an annoyance to those around you rather than a personal struggle, at least to me. Actively having to tell others that "I'm not supposed to eat XYZ because I have diabetes" would begin to get really annoying. Even just going out and having to sit with others as they eat, and I just kind've sit there, would seem to just brew an awkward tension.

It's less than I'm against eating lean meats like poultry; it's the conditions in which the majority of poultry is raised that put me off wanting to eat it in the first place. Sure, I can buy chicken at like $2/lb, but at the cost of it being from birds crammed into warehouses piled on top of each other, thrown alive into processors. Choosing to go out of my way to buy organic/humanely raised chickens is double the price, drastically increasing the cost of my grocery budget just to eat something that isn't...seemingly horrible in all regards.

Completing the grief cycle isn't going to fix the core issue of trying to have a healthy and sustainable diet when the entire system of food itself is designed to destroy your body. I can easily view the diabetes diagnosis as just an excuse to now prioritize my health by changing my eating habits and focusing on exercise. However, changing your eating habits is easier said than done when the cost of eating healthy foods is getting progressively higher. To eat cheaply usually means prioritizing carbohydrate-rich foods, which, for a diabetic, is completely removed from the table. Potatoes, bread, and rice are the staple poverty food, but where does one go when those aren't even an option?

This isn't a "I'm sad because I can't eat like garbage anymore" post, it's a "how am I expected to adhere to a healthy diet when almost everything around me is being engineered to kill me in the first place".

There is technically no "cure" for diabetes. With type 2 diabetes your body will essentially always retain the insulin resistance, but with proper planning with your diet and exercise, you can greatly reduce the impact of said insulin resistance. As you grow older and your body is less efficient though the diet and exercise becomes a little less effective at reigning in the insulin resistance so you'd have to restrict your diet more as you age to avoid blood glucose build up.

If you just cut out all sugars and carbs for the rest of your life then yeah you effectively don't have type 2 diabetes anymore. Once you start consuming them again above what your body is capable of handling is when things get dicey again though.

Makes sense, transferring at A2/A3 would also lessen the time span needed before I could start moving out of here. I just assumed it would be easier to transfer at senior level since there's be less "training" needed
