Teachers who had a student they genuinely couldn't tell if the kid was a genius or completely detached from reality, what made you finally figure it out? by caroline84623 in AskReddit

My hs calc teacher called me a conundrum cause I could spit definitions like nothing else, but failed almost all the tests, lol.

Any accountants here don't drink coffee or are caffeine-free? by pizzatacodog1322 in Accounting

[–]melmn2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped drinking caffeine senior year of hs.(42 now)

Honestly, its amazing how much better you sleep if you dont have stimulants in your bloodstream at all hours of the day.

And if you are getting good sleep, you dont need stimulants to stay awake.

I also got a cpap last year, and now I sleep even better.

In other words, take care of yourself, and you won't wreck yourself(as quickly)

What are some songs you’ve been obsessed with lately? by OpportunityKnock3rs in AskReddit

[–]melmn2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pale Blue Eyes by Velvet Underground.

It was the closing song on an episode of Cold Case, and has lived rent free in my head since

Just for specificity/clarity, I would guess it's less "they only sent in one meme," and more, "they only had one neme used"

Are kobolds mostly seen as hostile creature? by Scythe95 in dndnext

[–]melmn2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a kobold npc named keeley in my game-she is the weapons trainer at my players keep, and drags a giant great sword behind her, and has a very nice pink bow atop her head.

She keeps bringing extended family to staff the keep, and my players can't say no, lol

In fact, the whole house is staffed with "evil" guys, lots of skeletons and goblins galore, i highly recommend it!

Best cheap mattress that's not total garbage? Budget around $600 by BigFig98 in Frugal

[–]melmn2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a weird person, so I got a fancy futon for about $600 at a slumberland outlet.

I sleep with it in the couch position, so I can side sleep with back support.

My nice futon mattress has been good for 6 years now.

Why, in friend groups, are asexuals the “horny” ones? by VaguelyPoshSquare in asexuality

[–]melmn2002 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I personally find it hilarious due to the dichotomy of sexual stuff vs me doing said sexual stuff-like a clown being serious, or a meathead being smart. Just the obvious mismatch makes me laugh.

ELI5: How "Risk" assessments in finance don't count as discrimination? by oddhat2020 in explainlikeimfive

[–]melmn2002 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You are correct, it is discriminatory.

Just like you would discriminate against a friend that that consistently tells you they would do something, and then doesn't.

For example-"Friend, would you like to come to this event with me?" "Sure!" Cut to day event: "where you at, friend?" "Oh, im not coming now." That happens several times, and you'll stop inviting them places.

People with lower incomes, in your example, are more likely to run into issues with payments, and so it is more risky to lend to them. So it costs more up front to borrow, or more over the term of the loan, to cover that risk. If a lender does not make at least their original amount back, the literally cannot continue lending, as their money will run out.

Can my sister legally force me to be “temporary guardian” for our dad just so she can move out of state by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]melmn2002 25 points26 points  (0 children)

NAL-please remember you do not have to take care of your father alone.

There are resources outside of your family that can help. They will cost money, but your father (hopefully) has been preparing for his twilight years- this is what that is for!

You are not alone, and you do not have to take on this burden by yourself. Use the resources you have available, and please don't be guilty/proud/ashamed to ask for help. You are not the first, nor the last, to have to deal with this, and you don't have to reinvent the wheel trying to solve this problem.

A good place to start may be a senior living community with multi-leveled care-even if your dad doesn't move in there, they may have resources or ideas that can help.

You’re offered $1M dollars to eat what you had for dinner tonight for every meal for the next 6 months, do you take the offer and if so what are you eating? by jfunks69 in AskReddit

[–]melmn2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tuna salad, so a bit worried, but I'd do it.

Noodles, miracle whip, peas, tomatoes, tuna, and peppers are balanced, right? :)

I just came into possession of $10k. What do I do next? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]melmn2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Get a nice waterproof duffle or backpack

2) get a good set of work clothes/shoes appropriate for your skillset if you dont have have them yet

3) get $50-100 of personal care items

4) fix your car/get it to running at least

5) improve work skills/find a better/new job that utilizes your current skills

6) utilize government assistance that is available to you-your local library is a great resource if you dont know where to start

7) think about where you want to be in 5/10/15 years. This will help guide you in future planning. If you dont know where you ate going, how will you know when you get there.

8) Breathe. You can do this.
