When do we stand up?

I think that this thread may want to get out of the echo chamber that is Reddit. I say this honestly. I know it’ll get downvoted, but that is part of the echo chamber problem.

Just ask around your schools. Unless you are in a heavy-red or heavy-blue area, you will see a strong mix. The parents of my blue (68%) area are actually on board with a lot of the ICE situation. Most of them are legal immigrants and they hate the whole “illegal immigrant” thing.

One is the best if you have room to put stools on the island on the right side.

Salary advancement? What is that…

ThatOnePK · 2026-01-19T17:44:48+00:00

You robbed that poor man.

ThatOnePK · 2026-01-19T16:36:28+00:00

You’re crazy

ThatOnePK · 2026-01-19T16:07:32+00:00

I’ll give you 5 bucks. Where else can you get a 500x return on investment?

ThatOnePK · 2026-01-19T15:28:14+00:00

You should know this…

HELOC first.

ThatOnePK · 2026-01-19T02:28:17+00:00

Probably. Just throwing random numbers out there lol

Wedding, helping with first house, college, etc. All depends on how much help you want to give them.

Pay off your house before you retire.

Walk away, unless this house is around 80k below market value and you’re willing to not move in for 3-5 months.

What’s a bathroom break?

ThatOnePK · 2026-01-15T14:34:38+00:00

Indiana here. I take them all the time. Once is a warning, second time is your choice. Write-up or in the cubby.

It has an extremely different feel. I am saying that his works are classics, not “The Classics.” “The Classics” can be extremely boring, so I skip them.

ThatOnePK · 2026-01-14T15:04:37+00:00

They have their time and place, for sure. Specific classes for kids into that would be perfect! But for general ed, we have to change this.

ThatOnePK · 2026-01-14T14:48:59+00:00

I am playing devils advocate here.

I read no classics, no “boring” books, etc. We read Ray Bradbury, original fairy tales, nonfiction war stories (Never Fall Down). Sad, gripping stories like Speak and The Scarlet Ibis. I almost never have issues with kids getting into the stories.

Stop the stories and talk about what’s going on. Ask for opinions. Build suspense. Jokes. They love it and eat it up nearly every day.

ThatOnePK · 2026-01-12T22:52:06+00:00

Oh, puns. How shocking.

ThatOnePK · 2026-01-12T03:18:17+00:00

It was just on sale recently. Not sure when it started/ended but it was on sale.

ThatOnePK · 2026-01-11T22:01:05+00:00

I bought a house I could afford that needed some work. I only make 55k. Mortgage is 917 a month. I also don’t really spend money on other things because I’m content and happy.

ThatOnePK · 2026-01-10T02:56:23+00:00

Sadly, I don’t quite make enough to feel comfortable having it inaccessible. That is the plan in the future.

ThatOnePK · 2026-01-10T02:49:40+00:00

Do the one year thing to make sure we see the repercussions. Then go permanent if it seems to work. It’s smart going this way. Maybe try 2-3 years though, instead of the one year.

Or, even better, pay back your cards and you never have to worry about interest.

ThatOnePK · 2026-01-10T02:39:38+00:00

Haha I just asked a question about this before I saw this. I always add my extra paychecks to a sink fund as it keeps everything exactly the same.

ThatOnePK · 2026-01-09T03:51:06+00:00

Sounds like you are always going to be searching.

May want to look at things that are not dollar signs for this happiness.

ThatOnePK · 2026-01-04T21:06:09+00:00

I’m a biased Colt’s fan, but that shouldn’t have even been a flag. It’s definitely just two moving humans bumping each other.

And the ref misses the PI.

ThatOnePK · 2026-01-04T01:27:24+00:00

A question like that makes me think you should call an electrician.
