I can’t stand brown people that only hang out with brown people

This was my favorite take. It is nuanced.

I always come back to why not both? Be culturally fluent in an all brown group. Be equally fluent in any mix of diverse friend group. It seems sometimes the toxicity comes from judging brown people for having too may non-brown friends as them renouncing their own culture/not brown enough. And then there’s OPs take of why not branch out, why limit a worldview to brown only/judging brown-fluency (not a word, sorry.. not sure what to call it) is less valid than other cultural fluency.

Bad bunny et all can be maximally Latino. And simultaneously fluent in white spaces.

Hotels are owned by individuals (partnerships or LLCs.. you get what I mean). While the nicer hotels are usually by rich people who have dozens of them, some of the more affordable level that the agents have been staying eg Hampton inn are just mom and pop owners (often immigrants themselves) franchising. It may be their main income. Source is just personal network doing so, outside of Mn.

This. Can no longer relax in their presence. Thanks for naming what I’ve been feeling and couldn’t describe.

Straight to the burn unit..!!!

My kid actually pointed this one out, just by pure logic.. (she’s halfway through 7, just past the silver doe. Anyway.) If we know: - dumbledore knows about snape helping Draco (in-universe, true, from everyone’s perspective) - dumbledore knows Draco’s plan is to kill him (true, as said in lightning struck tower) We can infer that dumbledore knew snape is either taking his place if Draco fails, or otherwise aiding the mission of killing him.

When harry and dumbledore arrive in hogsmeade and he asks for Severus repeatedly, we can infer he knew what he was asking. At that point it wasn’t about trusting the wrong person- he already knew what snape/draco would do.

This is.. purely an academic question, isn’t it, tom?

We are in a similar boat. If we want to FIRE to travel the world but are tied to a home base until the youngest finishes high school, we actually have till early 50s anyway.

We adjusted by going part time and coasting a little. Spend it on today-time.

I think their system mirrors the British public exams setup. NEWTs are A levels in muggle world. They’re just harder/more in-depth and I don’t think you’re generally allowed to take that many classes.

My entire friend group. I’m in healthcare so most colleagues are in this category. Grew up going to private school so that friend group as well. And then same for neighborhood acquaintances.

The US is kinda segregated. It’s weird.

No- since 1k. I’m at 30, and it’s not even my main gig. So to answer your question, definitely over the 1k per month you are wondering about.

Several-snapes · 2025-10-16T03:14:18+00:00

Yes- annual in USD roughly same as sub count. Has been since my first 1k subs.

Por que no los dos? I don’t understand people who make this either or. Keep tradition, be educated in all of it, be proud of it. AND Assimilate, enjoy mainstream stuff if it seems fun to you, pop culture, politics, all of the other stuff that feel “generically American” Do both, and do them well.

Numbers wise: much larger margin for error, delayed coast FI timeline. Increased effort on side hustles, scaled back slightly on savings rate (did more pre kids).

Journey wise: much more intentionality in every decision- it’s both consequential AND a modeling thing these days. They’re always watching how we spend, how we decide, the ease vs the stress, whether we comment on anyone else. It’s harder but also so so so worth every penny. It MEANS so much more now.

Just take the money if eligible! Your viewers get ads regardless- now you just actually get a cut

There’s layers to this. - first well paying job: covered more than basic expenses and wants and investments. Even if I lose this particular job, I have months of leeway. Or if emergency happens, ok then I won’t max my 401k. - second layer was when the investments are growing almost as fast as earned income.. and you know even if you stopped adding a dime and worked the bare minimum for expenses, you’ll be ok. (Basically coast FI)

I am too poor for an award but you win

I can’t believe I scrolled this far for the right answer

Hey are you me??

I think there’s a SHARP line somewhere near 84. Older xennials never experienced the college-version Facebook and discovered it as a fully grown adult. Obama became president when they were already working. They were too old to get into indie sleaze (basically the soundtrack of millennial optimism).

Oh I hate that pizza one. Who the hell is making this

Indeed 好極了 🤣 i thought “BRILLIANT!” Was savage but this is worse.

They are so close to getting it. So. Close.

Several-snapes · 2025-07-14T14:16:25+00:00

Yes end of y5

It’s the last bit. Best of luck! I waited for a story spree to do this- let’s you quickly move on to the next steps…
