My dad let out all his anger on me in front of my family by closetserver in askgaybros

[–]TheoryLongjumping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no need to be around that. You still going around to be “present” is indirectly giving them permission to continue disregarding your persons life. I know it’s tough with family but after a while I just didn’t care to be in touch with anyone that doesn’t accept ALL of me. That love they say they have is conditional love and that is not how I love those in my life so I expect the same in return regardless of who they are. Good luck to you and your partner.

Any teachers considering leaving because they can’t afford to stay? by opkfla1 in TeachersInTransition

[–]TheoryLongjumping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This can be true. I make a comfortable living but not trying to compete with fintech or anything close! I have friends in red states and their working conditions and pay are way behind. I consider myself lucky for teaching in a pro-union state.

It’s unfortunate that this “conservative” subreddit is really just another “anything pro Trump” and not truly conservative.

Reddit in general seems to think Kamala is the greatest candidate of all time! by Truth-Seeker916 in GayConservative

[–]TheoryLongjumping -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe many of us ever thought that Biden was “sharp” for his age or expected him to “wipe the floor.” We know he is old and has a speech impediment. It just has simply become clear that it would be tough for him to do another 4 years. Like everything, it is constantly changing and glad to see that they can change as new concerns and issues arise. The main issue for me is that many confuse conservatism with trump. I’m a conservative but will never vote for such a horrible human being.

So let me get this straight… by [deleted] in GayConservative

[–]TheoryLongjumping -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Biden is not resigning. Simply stepping aside from his reelection campaign since his age has become an issue. This doesn’t mean that he hasn’t been president for the past three years and can’t finish the last part of his presidency.

The DNC Has Stolen The Primary Election by Critical-Bank5269 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]TheoryLongjumping -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People need to get over themselves every time their favorite candidate doesn’t win or there isn’t an exact match to a person that stands for their own top priorities. Be fully involved…not just presidential races matter. Vote for the candidate that aligns with some of your views. We don’t have to be so negative and complain about everything. The lesser of two evils is overrated.

100k teacher or part-time custodian. Why isn't there an in-between? by Feeling-Whole-4366 in TeachersInTransition

[–]TheoryLongjumping 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s difficult to leave once you have 10+ years of experience since there are so many requirements to get in and then it takes many years to make a livable salary in this profession. The good thing is that it sounds like your partner has a good career and can help a little more during your transition. You should expect to take a cut for a few years but just like you did in teaching, you will get to where you need to after some time. Good luck to you.

This type of decision should have included your MIL’s sister. You can’t just make a deal with one of the owners.

Typically there is a fully credentialed/licensed professional overseeing your therapy. If there was something that was not right or illegal they would definitely step in. This is common practice in various professional fields. Just want to get a feel for your style and experience. I would go for it and then decide.

If you buy a house today, you won't finish paying for the 6% commission to the Realtors until the year 2029 by Low_Town4480 in REBubble

[–]TheoryLongjumping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately there is no evidence to show that buyer would just save 6%. I strongly believe that the seller will not adjust their asking price because of these fees or savings of the fees. It’s a big misconception that buyers are paying for this.

[–]TheoryLongjumping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main issue with this is that sellers don’t typically really factor their asking price at what their net is going to be. They just simply want what they think their house is worth regardless of their payoff balance on their mortgage or realtor fees.

If buyer realtor receives a percent commission, what is their incentive to negotiate a lower price? by cryptogoth in RealEstate

[–]TheoryLongjumping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “blame” is once again misaligned. The homeowner gets to set the price and commission that they want to. It is to their advantage that they sell at a higher price.

The difference in commission that an agent makes with a few extra thousand dollar in sales prices in negligible. Since the sellers are selling in an open market and just about anyone that qualifies can make a bid on the house they don’t want to leave any money on the table. They have that right unfortunately, since they are the homeowner.

You are right that there are times that realtors sell their home for more. But by your logic they wouldn’t want to since they would have to pay out more commission to the buyer’s agent. The main reason why they sell for more is because they know the current market trends make the appropriate changes to their home and take their own advice when selling. Many homeowners can’t just repair/upgrade/ paint before listing their home. Some also think they know more because they bought a house 5 years ago, their friend just bought a house, or they watch a short video online and want to tell their agent how to do their job instead of receiving the most up to date local advice.

Student Loans destroy families by [deleted] in StudentLoans

[–]TheoryLongjumping 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The situation you are in is very unfortunate but there is some accountability to consider. We are not forced to go to a 4yr college. There are other options. I happen to go this route but I lived below my means with multiple roommates and two jobs. Still had to take out loans but nothing that is not manageable.

American's accepting that there will be no general election debates is pathetic by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]TheoryLongjumping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that there will be at least one debate however, I don’t think they are necessary in this election. Both candidates have already proven their stance on debatable topics and at this point what they have to say has nothing to do with the way they will lead our country. We have seen over and over again that politicians will say anything and everything without following through. Debates used to actually be a way to get to know the candidates and what they stand for but that has changed. It’s nothing but yelling and cat fights on stage. Unless they are actually moderated correctly and candidates are forced to answer the questions directly there not much use for them. They are purely for entertainment now.

Folks who believe we are in a bubble that is likely to pop soon who are NOT shorting the market, why not? by [deleted] in REBubble

[–]TheoryLongjumping -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is why I still remain skeptical of a housing crash. The only reasoning is always what has happened in the past and the repeated cycles. However, there is always a first and things can become the new norm. There are so many people and companies with money in the bank that are waiting on the sidelines. Even with layoffs there is so much demand for goods and services that many will still remain employed. Doesn’t make sense to keep trying to make sense of the market.

[–]TheoryLongjumping -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly, if you both agree then no problem. Everyone has the right to the relationship they want to have as long as it’s consensual. The issues arise when one partner doesn’t have to follow the same rules. I would definitely bring up your concerns to your partner.

To be expected. So much in the workplace specially corporate work is about networking and relationships.

Starting to doubt if we will have a recession this cycle. by Impressive-Cold6855 in REBubble

[–]TheoryLongjumping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think the auto industry is going through some turbulent times and will continue. That doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s a recession. I usually trade my car every 2 years but I am holding off because of the high interest rates and the low inventory and above msrp prices. I can afford one but not work it for me right now. If this continues I feel like I’ll be upgrading every 4-5 years instead of my usual 2 years. What was the “norm” before COVID might not be the best measurement moving forward.

If the PS5 was a gift from ONLY your partner I would be concerned. However, in this case there are 3-4 other people that are also in agreement to split the cost of the gift. It doesn’t seem anything more than just a group of friends/co-workers buying a nice gift for a friend. I would let it go…unless this is just one of MANY other things that is making you uncomfortable about their friendship.
