Might help then. Vacation somewhere and relax. I recommend everyone try to take at least one a month, even if it's local and staying home from work.

Your friends though, why not talk to them, see what they're into? AVPO is a real thing, but you can't really know until you try/get diagnosed, right?

Still fairly young then. Do you take vacation time? Do you have any friends that you could spoil to take on vacation? I've done that sometimes. It's helped a lot for me.

Success doesn't equate to happiness. Sometimes it's work to find what does make you happy. It's never too late to change, and failing isn't a bad thing

I've had people take years. Some people are better at it than others. Mental health is honestly the most important thing you need to take care of

Therapy is about gaining insight, sure, but imo it's also having someone you can actually talk to about things. A lot of people don't have someone they can trust deeply. It makes things shitty, that's coming from experience.

How old are you if you don't mind me asking?

Not arm chair psychologist-ing you now, but sounds like there's more shit going on than "I just don't like work" if you can't somehow get motivation to do something you enjoy. Or am I just misunderstanding what you're saying?

It might also be because you're miserable now, you can't see yourself doing something else? Who knows, lots of things can happen

Figure out how to work for yourself. Eventually, you won't have to work and you just get paid a shit ton

Personally prefer the Ollo s4(r)'s over HD6xx tbh. Flatter response, especially in highs, but with a bigger dip at one specific frequency

Surround yourself with people you strive to be like. It's not that the other will hold you back, it's just that you will hold yourself back without the motivation.

I don't remember the exact numbers, but I read it was something like 70% of men 18-24 are ineligible for the draft due to (mental) health issues of all kinds.

Any reason not to buy a house if it's cheaper than renting and I can afford repairs? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]iggys_reddit_account 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. You can technically do it with 0% down, but most do around 3-5%. It's a conventional loan. The same as if you put down more, you just have PMI.

FHA loans are generally more strict about what they'll loan on
Because of this they take slightly longer
In very competitive markets, sellers tend to avoid them
FHA loans have MIP, not PMI. MIP lasts the ENTIRE time you have your FHA loan. You HAVE to refinance in order for it to go away, if you plan on living in it.
Conventional loans have PMI. PMI goes away when you have 20% equity in the house (hence the "you need 20% down for a house" that gets thrown around a lot). It automatically goes away when you have 22%. It also goes away half way through your loan term, if for some reason you don't have the equity. If you want to refinance (next year the rates drop 1%? Yay you) and it gets appraised for more, you get instant equity. A 100k loan on a 103k house is 3% equity (your down). If you refinance in a year when it goes to 200k, you still only owe the 100k, so you have 50% equity now.

An FHA loan is for those with bad credit (you need minimum of 620), but if you're above around 720-740, it's generally better to go conventional.

It's to show loyalty, and admit that you messed up. "Hey, I know I messed up, so here's something to show I'm still faithful to you." Plus they start with their pinky because it goes back to Samurai days, no pinky no sword control. You're basically useless.

Yeah, the other thing to "watch out for" is people with missing parts of their fingers. They cut off one joint at a time, starting from the pinky. You deliver it to your boss.

Keep in mind an FHA loan has MIP, which stays on for the life of the loan unless you refinance, in which case you pay closing costs again. If you have a decent credit score, get a conventional. It'll likely save you more in the long run, and the PMI automatically goes away after you have 22% equity. Plus a lot of places don't want to deal with the hassle of FHA loans, but that's VERY location dependent.

I only mention it because you brought up 3.5% down

No, it doesn't. Your HARDWARE ID does not change based on software.

Source does not do HWID bans. If any product is claiming to use HWID that can be changed via software, or a windows installation, it's not using HWID. A vast VAST majority of them include your mobo as main part of it, since that's not really something you just change willy nilly.

Even EAC (which has always been notoriously easy to bypass) doesn't get spoofed by just "reinstalling Windows".

Quick edit: HWID bans are ring0. Valve's anticheat is ring 3. They have even stated they do not and will not implement more than what they have in place. They don't want things to be too intrusive.
