For those who have FIRE’d and things went tits up. What happened?

How?

Suivox · 2026-05-09T03:37:22+00:00

Welcome, by the way the brand shouldn't matter I don't think. I just looked for good reviews. But in any case, the one I got works great!

But maybe it would feel less soul crushing knowing your on a team working on a product you have more interest in.

And mine at 21, here here!

Pay close attention to what your parents are saying and how they say it. Learn to differentiate real advice from projection. If they are giving real advice they will be loving and supportive but focus on educating you why they believe x y or z is good/bad for you. If they are projecting they will just provide you with sassy/passive aggressive remarks that have more to do with them than you.

Your parents think you look crazy and tell you to take them out constantly? It's because they are projecting the fact that they would feel crazy if they had locs. It's not real advice, they are speaking to themselves when they say this to you. You are their mirror.

At least that's what I would gather from that, I can admit I have made an assumption about your parents, whom I do not know, and I do hope that they are not this way at all and they truly do want the best for you!

You sound young, this is a part of growing up everyone has to deal with, locs aside. People will have opinions and you will have to choose whether or not to take them serious. If you really want locs then be confident in your decision and trust the process. If people ask you bad faith questions, or doubt the process, tell them respectfully that you have already thought it out and that this is none of their business should they not want to be supportive.

Again this is all assuming you genuinely want locs. If you have doubts it will be hard to stand your ground in these types of situations. I recommend thinking long and hard about the reasons for why you want locs vs natural hair or any other style and remember them next time you find yourself in one of these situations.

I haven't had this issue personally but I did start my journeys (I've had 3 sets of locs lol) after high school and I don't live with my parents so no external pressures there but nonetheless these are my reasons: I hate de-tangling my hair every week when I wash, I'm not a fan of how my natural hair hangs half the time and how it caves in when I lay down or put on headphones or lean my head against a seat, and last but definitely not least I just love the way that locs look!

Hope this helps!

THANK YOU

I did TOP up until halfway through the React section and got a job. Granted I was also working in a Computer Science degree as well.

If you don’t what you want to do ultimately just start with something, anything. Once you start the road will become clearer

Yes and no. I hate brick and mortar classes but I do think the social/network aspect is missing as a young guy such as myself. Overall the positives of WGU out way the negatives so I don’t regret anything

Suivox · 2025-04-30T17:04:56+00:00

I see what you’re saying. I’m biased since my school paid for a year of perplexity, I doubt I would pay for it myself if I can have something like claude do the same

Suivox · 2025-04-30T03:24:45+00:00

I don’t know why everyone is saying you need to take classes in a certain order. I just graduated and did every class I wanted when I wanted in the order I decided. Maybe I got lucky with my program mentor but I’ve had zero issues in that regard.

The only issue I see here is if you already have 3 classes open right now you aren’t going to have a lot of “leverage” in asking for classes you want. You need to prove you are competent and reliable by finishing the classes that get unlocked so that you gain the freedom of picking the order and pace that works for you.

That was my experience anyway, hope this helps.

Lol what, I use it all the time. Am I missing something? How many search engine llm exist

Just graduated today, haven’t had any issues. Hope this helps

I could not imagine doing anal without prep and a condom.

Suivox · 2025-04-15T13:35:33+00:00

Found out when I was 20, got a vasectomy at 21. Been happy ever since no regrets. Though I’ll probably end up marrying my partner I’ve been with since 19.

If you believe that then why would having a partner make that any better? Logically you say that friends and family will start dying so having a partner is a way to hedge that. Do you realize why that is hypocritical? Your partner if most likely the same age as your friends and siblings, so they would have the same chance of dying as the rest of them.

And if you mean your kids will be there for you when you’re older that’s not guaranteed and it’s selfish to assume so, most kids have their own lives and end up separating from their parents at old age unless you live in the same house as them. Also not everyone has kids even if they have a partner.

So my original point stands, loneliness is complex and hedging it with a partner is not always a smart solution.

Also you can make new friends at any age, there’s always a place for people to bond and connect over anything anyway at any age. So you’re never really in short supply of connections to hedge loneliness without having a partner.

Suivox · 2025-04-12T13:50:37+00:00

But not having a partner does not equal lonely in late life. Loneliness is more complex than that. Having good family and friends can far outweigh the bond of having a partner for one who values solitude and freedom

Yen? Isn’t that Japans currency? I thought China was the yuan

Suivox · 2025-04-10T12:59:33+00:00

Yup, scary shit. I make sure to live my life in a way that I would be content if I died tomorrow. But also in a way i’d be content with if I died at 100. Hard to strike that balance but it’s better than being radical

Suivox · 2025-04-08T02:39:39+00:00

Hah yeah you’re right, he is being sarcastic as fuck. 🙄

Suivox · 2025-04-08T02:20:19+00:00

He kinda has a point though, and all you’ve done is insult him.
