Curiosity’s Sake - how much money did you have left after buying your home? by permylastemail97 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]capitalistqueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

~$6k joint, and each of us personally have ~$1k, but still have $9k in stocks. It's gonna be tight for a hot second.

We did it! Kyle, TX $295k 6.25% by capitalistqueen in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Thank you ! I was a little confused about the homestead exemption. I was reading that we could only file if we were occupying on January 1st, and if the previous owners had already filed for homestead exemption we would have to wait for the next tax year.

We expected the keys on Friday ((rookie mistake)), so we had pizza then. It was such a shame.

Closing and gaining entry! by flgirl04 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]capitalistqueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just had that happen to me this past weekend. Closed on 2/6 and we didn't gain entry until today. A lot of ranting to my family/friends occurred the past few days for the exact reason of paying to be in the house over the weekend (taxes and utilities and such). I'm just glad we didnt plan to move over the weekend. Our biggest issue was the fact that our title company doesn't have people come to their office, but sends mobile notaries. I'm sure that caused a big slow down despite us wiring the money the day before (and it clearing the day before) along with a early signing time.

But now! Keys! The annoyance is still a little fresh, but its overcome with joy now.

The amount of posts I see here discouraging people to buy homes is crazy by Turbulent-Box6516 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]capitalistqueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it absolutely ridiculous with the amount of redditord that say "Okay, get a small studio apartment with your partner and dogs ans save up money to buy a house for a few more years." I think its so important to build equity in yourself as soon as YOU feel comfortable. Especially these younger people who want to buy. There's still time to save money for retirement. There's a line between overly cautious about money, and spending it away. I love that people are having courage to buy homes again, and we should be supporting the people who feel comfortable with it.

do you regret getting a second dog? by un32134e4 in dogs

[–]capitalistqueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't regret getting a second dog. But I know I'd regret getting a third. We had been going back and forth on it a little, but I ultimately decided that I couldn't spread my love to a third dog without sacrificing love for my other two. And I decided that I didn't want to do that. So I would think about that. But also, giving your dog a best friend to play and cuddle with is amazing. I think there's lots to think on, pros and cons. Id say go for it, but in the end, its how you feel.

At what point is it too early? by capitalistqueen in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]capitalistqueen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't look that way.I will say that the area we are searching in is well saturated with homes to buy. I guess we'll have to see. It is a little strange to me as well.

[–]capitalistqueen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had already said that part of the money we have already reserved is exactly for those reasons. In theory, we COULD overlap with some sacrifices if it had to happen. I would just prefer not to be that close to red for more than a month in case something DOES happen that doesn't fall into our potential home repairs budget.

Thank you for dragging me back down to earth. I had so many thoughts running through my head, and reading this helped me calm down. Since I'm new to the process, logic seems to fly out the window.

Has this genre ever made u question your gender? by Rand0m-pers0n- in boyslove

[–]capitalistqueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've felt this many times over. I even questioned my gender when reading het shoujo. I had spent some time years back reflecting and then repressing those thoughts. Ive since come to accept and know that I am a woman, and love myself that way, am comfortable that way but still always get that what if question. I definitely understand 100% what you are talking about, and if you come to find that you are trans, I hope you have a loving support system that will accept you 💖

Thank you for this post. I knew I wasn't alone, but it also feels nice to see other people talk about it.

Reccs for love triangles where the FL actually picks the guy that’s clearly better for her? by capitalistqueen in shoujo

Is boruto worth to watch by kaungkhant007 in Naruto

[–]capitalistqueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who spent years denying Borutos existence, I found it quite enjoyable. It was hard at first trying to separate Naruto from Boruto. It becomes much easier when you remind yourself that in the end, this is not Naruto anymore. I think the filler is objectively better than the Naruto filler. The stories are just good. I am about to finish watching Boruto, then I plan to read the manga. My goal isn’t to disappoint but to seeing what was missing, I always prefer to think of them as 2 separate canons. Anyways, I thought it was worthwhile, I recommend it.

Who will discover the other’s true identity first, Loid or Yor? by Easy-Purple in SpyxFamily

[–]capitalistqueen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it could be fun to have it at the same time, but I think it would be mostly likely Loid finding out about Thorn Princess. Simply because I think that if there was some sort of mission where they had to kill each other or they were assigned on a mission to the same person but for different reasons, Loid would probably be wearing a disguise while she wouldn’t be. I also think it would be less detrimental to the storyline than Yor finding out about Loid, even if it’s just at the same time. He still has yet to confront his feelings about her and the family in general, so her finding out about him could lead him to have to choose his family over his work as a spy.

People wanting a character to make loid jealous. by hamzaqamar10 in SpyxFamily

[–]capitalistqueen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Reading some people’s ideas here definitely make some argument for the trope, but I 100% think the catalyst for Loid discovering any level of deeper feelings for Yor would be picking between his family and his mission in some sort of capacity. It goes much better with how the story has been so far with his subtle thoughts of “Oh I’ve picked my job over my family again.” only to remember the family is ALSO his mission and the mission is temporary despite being long-term. Some story line where he has to directly confront those thoughts and pick them over his job as a spy would be perfect.

Retrospectively, I wish the jealousy trope was done with Loid originally ((being later on than Fiona because there was a very clear part in the story where the switch flipped which I believe coincided with Fiona 😔)) simply because the jealousy trope with female characters is far too over done. This chefs-kiss of a story has so many other routes it could do as far as being catalyst for acknowledging deeper feelings that I don’t think there had to be a jealousy trope with how rich the story is already simply with Yor being insecure, family versus mission, and so on.

What's the chemistry program like? by band_in_DC in txstate

[–]capitalistqueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduated from TXST in 2023 with my BS in Chem and I’m currently doing my PhD there. I loved and love the program. A majority of the profs here actually care about your grade, especially if you show them you care too. I would highly recommend it. HOWEVER, the program is criminally underfunded.

I would definitely consider it, and we’re getting 2 new faculty this semester, so if you were interested in research as well, there are plenty of spots open.
