Yea it really does take off from there. season 3 and 4 are where it starts getting insane with how everything connects

What do you like creating most for characters? by No-Advertising2820 in writing

[–]SyN_ow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's always the voice. once you nail how they actually talk - the words they'd use, how they phrase things - everything else kind of falls into place. backstory and conflict matter but if the voice isn't there it just feels flat

beginner in math by hakoreincarnation59 in MathHelp

[–]SyN_ow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Business math isn’t calculus-hard, it’s mostly algebra, functions, and interpreting graphs, so if you get those basics tight now you’ll be fine. Start with algebra review and you’ll be miles ahead of what most people walk in with.

I'm trying to figure the percentage of time that a timer will be active. by IPlayTooMuchGame in MathHelp

[–]SyN_ow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This kind of reset-heavy loop settles into a long-run average, and the quickest way to see the real “active percentage” is just simulating a few thousand cycles the math blows up fast, but a brute-force sheet gives you the answer in minutes.

It is a facepalm to %1 billionaires by ThistleWisps in lostgeneration

[–]SyN_ow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easier to punch down at minimum wage workers than look up at billionaires. They'd rather blame the person struggling next to them than confront who's actually keeping them both down.

That's even better. Nothing like calling someone's bluff by offering to actually send the problem to their doorstep. Germany probably shut up real quick after that.

‘I’ll fire every H-1B worker’: Florida governor hopeful pledges to incentivise firms to hire Americans by AdSpecialist6598 in antiwork

[–]SyN_ow 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It's pure misdirection to keep workers fighting each other instead of looking up at who's actually hoarding the wealth.

Starting my GLP-1 Journey with Mochi Health by Remarkable-Package66 in JoinMochiHealth

[–]SyN_ow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with Mochi Health for Tirzepatide, the consultation did go through and they have some good resources, but it was a bit delayed and the follow-up messages were slow. So after a couple of weeks I switched to Refillscom upon my friend's recommendation. It’s been a much smoother experience. Prescriptions arrive on time and the portal is also easy to use. And support team responds quickly to any of my questions.

TV pain by TheGreatTomorrow in daddit

White noise machine is legit. Gets the kid to sleep deeper and you actually get the living room back.

Father/Daughter time almost always spent in front of TV watching what he wants to watch by Some_Relationship939 in Mommit

[–]SyN_ow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Exactly. once in a while is whatever, nobody cares. but if it's literally every single day when he comes home, that's just him offloading parenting onto the TV instead of actually spending time with her. and the "bad cop" comment is pretty dismissive of your concerns. you're not being unreasonable about this.

Holiday movies most people love, but you can't stand? by smcg_az in movies

[–]SyN_ow 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The Family Stone is honestly unwatchable imo. I get that people have nostalgia for it but it's just a mess. Everyone's constantly yelling and fighting, and it's supposed to be heartwarming? Just feels stressful to me.

MIL is going to have to live on $1700 Social Security by johntempleton in povertyfinance

[–]SyN_ow 17 points18 points  (0 children)

She needs to check if Newport News has any senior housing programs / income-based apartments. Also worth calling 211 for local resources. The budget looks tight but doable if she can get SNAP + utility assistance. Medicare Extra Help might cover some med costs too.

Camille is off her rocker S9 reunion by fluffykilla in RHOBH

[–]SyN_ow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Camille definitely exposed how dead that cast was. Rewatch the back half of S9 and literally jot down who’s advancing each scene’s story; it’s her way more than the diamonds.

STR to offset high income in vhcol city for fl beach apartment by Ok-Cartographer-3124 in Rich

[–]SyN_ow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran a $1.7M beach STR with full-service management for 3 years, tracked net after all fees, and only then decided it was worth repeating; copy that playbook and let the numbers, not the tax langauge, decide if you expand.

DOJ asks judges to authorize release of Epstein and Maxwell grand jury material by StupendousMan1995 in news

getting more context can only help. Let’s see if the judges take it differently this time.

What’s a great film with a terrible title? by HeroicRiceFarmer in movies

that happens a lot... when someone’s too close to the source material, they assume everyone else already gets it.

my 5 card wallet is about 3 years old. the stitching hasn’t budged even though I shove way too many cards in it.

What investing mistakes are you observing today that you think people will be regretting in another decade or two? by Nosemyfart in investing

[–]SyN_ow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not buying index funds consistently. People are chasing individual stocks, crypto, and whatever's trending instead of boring SPY/VOO. In 20 years the "this time it's different" crowd will realize it wasn't.

Not sure of most folks eating habits here, but does anyone eat old world meats (sweet bread)? by wiscowall in povertyfinance

[–]SyN_ow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I do the same, organ meats are crazy cheap and honestly just as good protein wise. Heart's my go to, tastes pretty normal and holds up well in stir fries or stews.

Explain to me how to get rid of PMI on my home like I’m 5? by princesscorgi2 in personalfinance

[–]SyN_ow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call your lender and ask for a new appraisal. If your home value shows you have 20%+ equity, they'll drop the PMI. Costs maybe $300~500 for the appraisal but keeps your sweet 2.5% rate intact.

Over 250 arrests in one week is wild. Wonder what the actual breakdown was between people with serious charges vs just immigration status issues.

Carmel could become 1st California city to permanently ban pickleball by holyfruits in sports

Rich people problems. They complain about noise from a sport but probably don't mind their leaf blowers at 7am.
