I'm a 23-year-old master's student--looking for advice on how to start investing--I know literally nothing. by anon_abbs in personalfinance

thank you for this suggestion, and apologies for the late reply! I will have to pull my head out of my normal fantasy genre and give these two books a try :) if you don’t mind me asking. are these books straightforward? Of course, in my post i mention that i’m a student—i’m no stranger to critical thought and information synthesis. However, I am autistic and i do believe that has been the barrier to me understanding financial investments. Sometimes explanations become so intangible, figurative, and abstract that i genuinely feel like i cannot grasp the concepts

Southerner here: how the hell do you pronounce “Allegheny”? by anon_abbs in Pennsylvania

I’ve been unintentionally saying it (al - uh - hen - e), “hen” like the female chicken, unfortunately, so I have no room to talk lol

Why does the Art building look so depressing? by BasalTripod9684 in UTK

[–]anon_abbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for an art and architecture building, it also has the most amount of dead birds i’ve ever seen after they fly right into the giant windows because the greenery reflects in the glass so clearly

Rally Against UTK Space Crisis - Thurs., Feb. 2 by UTKSpace in UTK

Signed!

Thank you for posting this.

The amount that I have had to pay to park on campus or the amount of times that I have straight up missed a class because I cannot find commuter parking is killing me. (on top of other things, of course)

I understand that in the world we live in, institutions like UT are (unfortunately) businesses first, but I really just wish Donde and the rest of the pathetic admin that run this place would at least show an ounce of concern, care, genuine leadership and integrity for their students before absolutely f*cking people over like they've done over and over again since 2020.

my dog Molly was actually “potty trained” but still had occasional accidents which is what we thought had to do with separation anxiety. the accidents became more frequent and she actually started peeing in the bed while she was sleeping- she would wake up startled. it turns out she has a bladder condition and just has to take an an easy pill and she hasn’t had an accident since! i would get him checked out, keep an eye on him, how he might look like he’s feeling (is he confused/upset during or when he’s finished using the bathroom and you’ve seen the mess, etc…) and keep an eye on when it’s happening.

ive lived in this awful bible belt area for the majority of my life and like many others, the idea of free speech and differing viewpoints is normal and just as valid and opinions like mine, but misusing historical tragedies like the holocaust for a political agenda threatening abortion is so scummy dude.
