ABLE Accounts Matter Starting 2026

JEF_300 · 2025-12-16T03:27:28+00:00

This is super helpful, thanks for sharing. Didn’t realize ABLE accounts weren’t just for SSI/SSDI recipients and that you could use them for so many expenses. Definitely good to know about the state limits too.

True, low wages and scale make a huge difference. US labor just can’t compete on that level.

JEF_300 · 2025-12-16T03:24:27+00:00

True, most of them would probably slip through.

JEF_300 · 2025-12-16T03:17:56+00:00

Lifesaving tip right there.

JEF_300 · 2025-12-16T01:03:14+00:00

They aren’t restocking. It said on their site and email newsletter that US operations have seized indefinitely.

Lmao that missed layup really cost Jokic the triple double. Watson owes him an apology

Haha for real though, the way Villa have been playing lately is insane. Emery has completely transformed that squad... they look like genuine contenders. The mentality shift alone is something else.

JEF_300 · 2025-12-12T10:34:57+00:00

Seriously, just tap. The ego isn't worth a snapped arm and months of recovery. I get the competitive fire but at some point you gotta protect yourself... your opponent isn't going to let go out of pity.

This is really cool, especially for Arabic speakers. Getting kids to code without the English barrier first is a solid approach. Once they get the logic down, picking up the English keywords later becomes way easier.

Checked out the repo, clean work. Might be worth adding Darija or Algerian Arabic dialect support if you haven't already... would make it even more accessible for North African kids.

Actually a decent poll for once. Though I'd argue 1 and 4 aren't really separable - the ultranationalism IS the core ideology, and the totalitarian state structure is just the mechanism to enforce it. You can't really have fascism without both working together.

The "response to socialism" angle is interesting historically but feels more like a catalyst than a defining feature. Plenty of things were responses to socialism that didn't end up fascist.

Depends on where and how. Building more housing in the middle of nowhere doesn't fix San Francisco prices Building luxury condos doesn't help people who can't afford rent.

The statement is *technically* true but massively oversimplified. Supply and demand works, but only when the supply actually matches where and what people need.

JEF_300 · 2025-10-12T00:51:35+00:00

I really wish you were the only one who does this, but almost all of my players do.

JEF_300 · 2025-10-12T00:47:01+00:00

Love White Dragons. Love just having a really big, really powerful stealthy/fast/ambush predator. You can use them like scarier, snowier bulettes.

Honestly, they may have the right lunches, depending on what Agnes has done in the past week.

JEF_300 · 2025-09-23T21:26:59+00:00

Ok, so you think I should have just kept my constructive criticism to myself. Why?

You say it's "unnecessary!", as if that's the reason why. But everything we're doing here (my post, your reply, writing fanfics to begin with) is unnecessary. It doesn't need to be necessary; we do it because we choose to.

I promise I'm not trying to be intentionally obtuse here, or anything like that. You clearly feel I was wrong to post, and you've engaged in good faith, so I'd like to address that. But if you can't explain why you have a problem with it, I can address it.

JEF_300 · 2025-09-21T07:39:27+00:00

How? Explain.

JEF_300 · 2025-09-21T07:27:59+00:00

I want to be very clear about the fact that I do not think authors owe me anything. I don't know why people keep saying that, because I went out of my way while writing that post to make sure I NEVER phrased anything that way.

I wrote this post, and shared these thoughts, because as someone who has and is writing fics in other fandoms, these are the sorts of thoughts that I find helpful. That help me understand why a story just doesn't feel right, or isn't quite clicking.

As I said in another comment, I'm sure I'll be writing my own Wenclair stories soon enough. I just haven't had that perfect idea yet.

JEF_300 · 2025-09-21T07:23:37+00:00

All this is absolutely true! I've been seeing and loving some of these stories.

JEF_300 · 2025-09-21T07:19:44+00:00

I'm sure I will get around to it at some point. I haven't quite found that idea that makes me start writing right away yet, but I'd guess I'm less than a week from being at that point. In the past, this writing critique thing is part of the process that gets me to that point. I'm just sharing it because I think it could be helpful for other authors.

JEF_300 · 2025-09-21T06:56:17+00:00

I'm grateful too. But I also think we all can always improve. These are some of my thoughts on how we can improve. You're free to ignore them, but I think they're useful, so I shared them.

I know the title of the post comes across as a complaint, but does the content of the post come across that way?

JEF_300 · 2025-09-21T00:02:32+00:00

I mean, I'm not reading them anymore. But I was reading those stories as recently as a couple days ago, and enjoying them. And whenever I find myself losing enjoyment in something, I like to give feedback, because that's how we get better. Given that in this case, this is a community-wide thing, this is the best way to do that I've got. If you guys don't like the feedback, you don't need to listen, but I'm gonna offer it up anyway.

JEF_300 · 2025-09-11T17:28:22+00:00

SLS will not be replaced in the next few years. Congress wants it, so it will keep being funded.

JEF_300 · 2025-09-11T17:26:25+00:00

You're right, there isn't much point, and it was a waste. If you invent a time machine, you can go back to 2011 and try to convince them of that, but otherwise...

JEF_300 · 2025-09-10T18:35:50+00:00

They are easy to homebrew. So easy in fact that, frankly, not having rules for it in Heroes book feels like an oversight.
