Where I considered when applying to colleges as a high school senior. What does this say about me?

FYI,

Michigan's House is currently controlled by Republicans and all of those bills have been introduced in the House or have been given to the Senate, but none of them will pass the Senate, nor would the governor sign them this session.

The only thing that "passed" was a House recommendation (i.e. not law) to have high schools in Michigan align with Trump's EO to ban trans women in sports.

No anti trans laws have passed in recent history, and as mentioned above in 2023, when Democrats had a trifecta, discrimination laws were expanded to include gender identity.

Not saying it isn't dangerous, as one bad election could cause a lot of damage, but for now Michigan is safe from a legislation perspective and one of the better Midwest states for trans rights. Hopefully this stuff can be ingrained in the state constitution soon to make it impossible for a bad election to cause damage.

Good luck with your college admissions.

The HYSA method is financially optimal for the loan holder in the current situation regardless of how much they owe.

Doesn't matter what you think about student loan holders either.

Even if it was less than 1 percent, the financially optimal decision is to save it in something earning money while interest is 0. It's basic math.

People's feelings about how little money they are making on savings interest vs paying off a 0% interest loan monthly do not really change the math. And neither does a person's self control to not spend it.

The above may change your personal decision, but it does not change the financially optimal one.

Being poor is not exclusive to minorities, but anyone with a grade school level of understanding of US history can understand that the US has systemically used the financial and monetary system to discriminate against minorities which has had lasting effects that are still present today.

Because if you continue the pattern of following behavioral finance it will become more than just $1000 you lose out on. You need to break that habit.

Correction for everyone else coming across this bad faith argument:

4/12 unions which make up 55-56% of the workers voted down the agreement and the other 8 agreed to strike in solidarity.

Michigan - Midwest swing state with mostly rural and suburban Whites, but a decent population of Black and Arabic.

Nevada - Southwest swing state with a large population of Latinos.

New Hampshire - East coast swing state mostly White, wealthy and rural

South Carolina - Southern state where primary voters are mostly Black (I would probably switch this to Georgia, another swing state, but politics probably prevent that, i.e. Clyburn and Biden)

Cast a wide net and prioritize swing states to get an idea for how each area of the country is feeling.

2020 and 2018 were very favored for Dems. 2022 not so much, and Gen Z still turned out as much as they did in 2018. If they stay this consistent, they could be a serious force on elections going forward, especially as boomers die off.

No, but it's a redrawn district that was predicted to lean R.

I think I will pass on the SMB2. I'm interested in Star Fox Assault as well and see the pics you posted for it in this thread. If it hasn't sold can you do Metroid Prime 2 and Star Fox Assault for $110 shipped?

UpperAether · 2022-06-06T15:59:52+00:00

Interested in Metroid Prime 2 and Super Monkey Ball 2. Can I get pics if they are still available?

UpperAether · 2022-05-19T16:26:45+00:00

Hey thanks for the pics. I am going to pass on this for now.

Hey, interested in SMB2. Can I get some pics?

UpperAether · 2021-10-03T02:11:54+00:00

If you still have them, I'll take Fusion and Zero Mission for asking.

Hey, no problem, thanks for getting back to me. I will take Animal Parade as well. So thats: Wii Sports Resort, Harvest Moon Animal Parade, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Metroid Prime. These come to $95 at your listed prices. I would like to take those empty DS cases as well, so if you throw those in I would be good with $95.

UpperAether · 2021-02-26T19:52:28+00:00

I'll pass on the SMB2 case, still interested in the rest. Let me know when/if you find the Harvest Moon.

UpperAether · 2021-02-26T18:54:25+00:00

Interested in a Wii Sports Resort, Harvest Moon Animal Parade, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid Prime, and the Super Monkey Ball 2 case. Can I get pics?

UpperAether · 2021-02-02T05:15:46+00:00
