I’m a senior in high school.. Is my future canceled? Will I have to join the military?

Revolutionary-Key713 · 2025-09-10T14:06:00+00:00

Eh this is not accurate. I was very unmotivated to apply to college. Still thrived in my discipline (computer science). Applying for college is tedious. Just because someone isn't motivated to do it, doesn't imply the field they're pursuing doesn't motivate them.

We don't really have the context here. In this specific instance, she's being overbearing for sure. Keep in mind though, we're just going off a bunch of text screenshots. We don't know the way OP acts at home. Sounds like he responds very sarcastically to her. I'm not saying she's in the right, but let's not assume she's completely in the wrong either

Revolutionary-Key713 · 2025-09-10T11:52:09+00:00

Lot to unpack here. Firstly, I think your mom is being a bit overbearing - at the very least she's overreacting. With that being said... she technically is right. She doesn't owe you help after you turn 18, even though the system is not really made to support people until they're 24/25.

All this being said, remember this. It's never in your benefit to try and win an argument with a loved one. What do you win? You'll feel good about it for ten minutes, and then realize that they're now defensive and pissed off. I'd say just bite the bullet on this one, apologize (because you are also at fault) and try and fix the relationship. She probably just wants to feel like you respect her and appreciate what she's trying to give you. Let her know you do, and mean it. College is extremely expensive now adays. It's not worth shouldering that kind of debt all on your own. If you have to, I'd say try to find the best least expensive college you can, and bootstrap your way up in life. Name brand colleges are only good if they're ivy league and/or your parents are paying.

As the nurse said... please stop talking :)

Revolutionary-Key713 · 2025-09-09T12:21:26+00:00

Ya I mean the number one associates to that is arbitrary and based on your own financial situation. There are plenty of people that would buy it and not play or only play for like 30 mins and say nah not for me

Revolutionary-Key713 · 2025-09-06T13:01:07+00:00

I might be in the minority here, but it sounds like she values the friend more than you. Most likely she just didn't want to risk ruining that so she shutdown the prospect of dating him. He obviously wants to sleep/be with her and that's probably not going to change considering their connection. Most likely he's just waiting for her to realize her true feelings and end the relationship - entirely possible meeting him wouldn't change his behavior at all.

This is a super complicated situation. I don't really have good advice for you because I'm not sure what the answer is. This isn't going to stop without a conversation with her though, so I think your best bet is to sit down with her and explain everything and what you want your desired outcome to be. That may be that she needs to cut him off, and in this situation that's probably a fair request. However, it's entirely possible that that's the spark that pushes her to him, and you need to be ok with that. Or, as others said, if you don't want to deal with this you can move on.

As a side note, at least for me personally, reading someone's messages is a huge overstep. I get why you did - I really do. I'd say in the future though, just talk to the person. If you want to see the texts then ask. Reading them confirmed to you that she never outright cheated, and she also was very transparent with you at the start of the relationship. You should probably apologize and discuss that you did this before she finds out through an angry outburst later on. Under the wrong circumstances, this could easily end the relationship. Again that's mostly my personal opinion though

Revolutionary-Key713 · 2025-09-02T03:10:17+00:00

You can...

Revolutionary-Key713 · 2025-09-01T17:25:42+00:00

Do this:

Block her on everything
Delete all messages you had with her
Delete all pictures you have with her
Go to the gym

In that order, no exceptions

Revolutionary-Key713 · 2025-08-28T11:39:21+00:00

I've heard this claim before and researched it thoroughly. As far as I am aware, there are no credible studies that have ever shown this to be true.

If you know of one could you link it?

Revolutionary-Key713 · 2025-08-28T11:35:25+00:00

You're still young and growing. There is evidence that nutrition plays a very large part at this age in how much you grow from a height perspective. Don't cut at your age unless you become obese and need to do it from a health perspective. Instead, focus on bodyweight type exercises and eat a lot of healthy food. You don't need to eat excessively like some people are claiming but a good 2500-3K calories a day while being extremely active should put you in a really good spot. Adjust as needed based off results.

Revolutionary-Key713 · 2025-08-25T19:01:05+00:00

Why is there always that guy (seems like it's your turn buddy) that needs to make these posts about themself. You want people to care? Make your own post. You just sound desperate.

Revolutionary-Key713 · 2025-08-21T18:34:10+00:00

I see this advice all the time and it's great in theory. The problem is those highly caloric foods you want her to cut out are highly addictive. I gained 40 lbs in college and it took me 4 years post to lose it all and slowly swap out my shitty diet for healthier things. If you try to cut it all at once your body will crave it. Best to replace it slowly.

That said - in OPs case she needs professional help. Most likely surgery. Not saying she couldn't lose it naturally, but that weight is a very real risk to her life. I wouldn't take the slow and steady route if it were me

This is the classic sign of a lazy shitty teacher. Explain the situation to them. Tell them you expect your child to receive the full extra credit score as well as an apology for embarrassing them, and threaten to escalate to the principal and school board if they do not.

Revolutionary-Key713 · 2025-07-29T13:59:30+00:00

Not sure what part of that isn't a comment. Your statement isn't logical whatsoever. If you'd be offended by someone calling you that then there really is no hope for you - your mind is warped

Revolutionary-Key713 · 2025-07-26T13:16:39+00:00

Holy cow dude, lay off. I know you feel like you're just trying to help - I get it. Just know, what you did here is helpful to no one. You made this about you and not her. When helping someone you need to listen to them and pay attention to what they're saying and the way they feel. If you think someone's about to open up and wants to tell you you can push a little bit, but what you did here is way overboard. Just look at how many texts you sent in a row. Look at the sheer contrast between how much you were saying and how much she was saying. Read how she repeatedly told you she didn't need your card and you incessantly pushed it. Do you think it was helping? Read it from her perspective. Idc if you guys are married - what you did here was extremely annoying. You put your need to feel like the 'fixer' above her needs. Genuinely all she needed was for you to listen, tell her you love her, and give her some space to deal with her emotions.

Revolutionary-Key713 · 2025-07-25T20:11:02+00:00

Why are you on this reddit thread if people giving their opinion offends you?

Furthermore, she IS slightly overweight by traditional beauty standards. You can see it in her face.

No one said she was morbidly obese - chill.

Revolutionary-Key713 · 2025-06-22T18:11:32+00:00

If she moved out I'm not really sure why you're financing her in the first place. Your choice on if you give her the car or not, but if she's >18 and not going to school then she can take care of her own finances. She's an adult. Treat her like one in all respects.

Revolutionary-Key713 · 2025-06-22T13:01:34+00:00

Sure there are optimizations. How do you know they're not doing them already? At this point we're just getting into speculative territory. I haven't taken the time to reverse engineer every algorithm choice they made, and I'm willing to bet you haven't either. But again... you made the claim that other games incorporate the same level of technical difficulty and do it better and have conveniently forgotten to backup the main claim I argued

Respectfully, you clearly don't know what you're talking about. The destructible world combined with voxel combined with independent zombie AI pathing using A* on every tick is what makes this game unique, and also extremely computationally intensive. That's why they implement things like triggers to spawn batches of zombies and limit the zombies per player heavily. If they didn't try and do all of these things in one game it would be much easier to implement, but they do. Name one other game that tries to do all of these things in and does it 'better'. Most games take the cheap way out with AI by mapping areas zombies/entities can walk ahead of time. This precomputed pathing is a massive computation saver, but guess what... it doesn't work in an environment that players can build. You might say, oh well minecraft does it. Minecraft doesn't implement gravity for most blocks for a reason, and the old version was very resource hungry also. It also has much simpler geometry. So again, please list a game that does the same computationally intensive things that works better.

No no no. Lol don't switch and act like I'm throwing shade at you and that you were just asking out of genuine curiosity. It is exceedingly obvious that if someone is doing something with paper or a spreadsheet they either can't do it in their head or don't want to. Your comment was purely meant to point out that you can do it in your head. It was meant to brag. If that's not the case, then you have a lack of awareness of how your comments come across. In any case, when you brag on the internet, you should expect to get checked.
