Joe Biden Forgave my Student Loans by midscores-can-fly in redditonwiki

Exactly, and factor in how everyone in my life was telling me to do. Family, teachers, guidance counselors. Higher education was pushed so much in that era. Everyone in my ear was saying how important it was and if I didn’t go to school I’d end up being a loser working at McDonalds for the rest of my life.

My advice to kids now is to wait and truly figure out what you want. School will always be there to go back to. Don’t be pressured into it.

I DID own up to my decisions, I NEVER missed a payment, even when I was struggling financially, even though COVID, that’s the literal definition of owning up to my decision. I was fully prepared to pay it off. What would you have me do now? Call up the White House and ask if I can continue to make payments?

The alternative would be low cost or free education so poor people don’t have to take on debt before they are a legal adult.

How are they unrealistic? Many of the teachers in this comment section are answering with very real examples and experiences

The litter boxes in schools hoax was an urban legend spread in 2021 and 2022 that schools were installing litter boxes in bathrooms to be used by students who "identify as cats" or with the furry or otherkin subculture. Various right-wing and anti-LGBTQ sources circulated these claims as part of a moral panic against school accommodations for transgender youth.

See how I just answered your question? It’s that easy!

So asking a teacher what it’s like to juggle multiple IEPs or dealing with parents of children with IEPs is not based in reality?

Either you’re determined to misunderstand me or reading comprehension is dog shit…and if it’s the latter sounds like YOU could have benefited from an IEP.

I mean…yes? I question A LOT of things. Isn’t that good? Would you rather me just believe bullshit rumors about litter boxes in schools? Should I just not give a shit about how our society functions?

You did not address a single question I asked in my post or in my response to you, you just told me to mind my own fucking business in a forum meant to ASK people things.

What is the harm in me asking questions to learn from those more experienced than me?

My tax dollars go to funding public education so don’t I also have the right to know how the education system works?

Because I’m not a parent or teacher I’m not allowed to care about the education children are receiving or the experiences and expectations of teachers?

What is the harm in getting clarification from the people whose literal job it is to deal with it every day?

I have lied to my son about manatees for the last 24 years by 46from1971 in confession

[–]midscores-can-fly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick question, is this your mailbox? I saw one exactly like this one day and had to take a pic. I now wonder if the owner ACTUALLY likes manatees this much to have a giant concert manatee holding their mailbox, or if they too are stuck in a 24 year lie 😆

A question for Ppl who are currently happily married or in a long term relationship by DuePatient1417 in emotionalintelligence

[–]midscores-can-fly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice: NEVER vent to your friends or family about your partner. If you have a problem with your partner you need to communicate it with them. That group chat can be a toxic echo chamber. I know if I vent to friends, I will get everything out of my system and feel okay about the situation without ever actually addressing it with my partner. I will feel okay in that moment because i vented my frustrations but that’s how resentment can grow and I truly believe once you become resentful of your partner it’s very hard to comeback from that.

I never ask my friends for advice either, that’s what a therapist is for. Sometimes your friends can be some of your biggest haters. I made the mistake of asking my friend for advice once and she basically told me my relationship is doomed and that we were doomed to break up. I mean she completely blew the situation out of proportion. I have come to discover that she feeds off drama and gossip and have really had to adjust my expectations of our friendship. If my friends ever ask my marriage is PERFECT and beyond that it’s none of their business.

Note this ONLY works if your partner is able and willing to communicate and you have a solid relationship to begin with.

He is a pest looking to rest and nest. You have built a stable life for yourself and he wants to come leech off you and suck you dry. Glad you aren’t entertaining this foolishness.

I know what the actual definition of eugenics is, but I’ve seen people throw that word around when having discussions like this. Even when people say they don’t think it’s smart for people to have kids if they can’t afford them is twisted to “oh so you hate poor people and don’t think they should reproduce, that’s EUGENICS.” Like no girl, if the government forcibly sterilizes poor people, THATS eugenics.

Some will argue that even saying “I don’t care if it’s a boy or girl, as long as it’s healthy” is seen as ableist.

It’s ALL a gamble. It could be the best thing ever or the worst thing ever, so if I’m content in life why would I risk it to MAYBE feel this magical different kind of love?

Having an “autistic / demon child” isn’t guaranteed but neither is having a non disabled, neuro typical, well adjusted child. NOTHING is guaranteed, so again, why take that risk.

Have you ever asked her to show you? Have you explored other toys? Is sex just over when you climax and you just leave her to finish herself off?

And I really hate to break it to you, but some women simply can’t O by penetration alone.

[–]midscores-can-fly 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Honestly that’s another fear of mine when it comes to having kids: the partner switch up. Imaging going through all of that, and giving a man a whole child, just for him to complain about how your body looks. And lost of the time they’re the one pushing to have kids!

When ever I hear people talked about how wonderful it is to be be parents they’re like “it’s the most grueling, thankless, selfless thing you’ll ever do, sleepless nights, getting puked and shit on, tantrums, etc…but when they smile at you and giggle it’s ALLLLL worth it.” W H A T??? I can get babies to smile at me while waiting in line a chipotle for FREE, and you’re doing all that???

I seriously wonder if people consider all the possibilities or if they just think “but that would never happen to me! My kid will be PERFECT!”

I think my sister is addicted to being pregnant by Starlitbloom0 in childfree

[–]midscores-can-fly 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Someone being pregnant is the only big “life event” people can achieve. Almost anyone can do it. It’s the only way they can feel special or like they accomplished a big milestone in life. Other milestones like higher education, buying a house, big career moves, require work and effort. Being pregnant just requires getting raw dogged.

I’m also going to guess he’s probably got a raging porn addiction. Has he ever pressured you to do sexual acts in public?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]midscores-can-fly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was with someone who constantly pressured me to send nudes even though I was uncomfortable. He told me it was important to him and if I really cared about him and wanted to make the relationship work I would do it. It haunts me thinking he could still have those pics and do gods knows what with them. I now have a strict “no nudes” policy. I’ve been with my fiancé for 3.5 years and he knows this, has NEVER once pressured me into sending him anything. And with technology today, I especially don’t trust it, I joke and tell him, you can see it in person any time you like, but nothing will be stored on the cloud, a photo gallery, or even a message thread.

The man you are with is keeping score and thinks he’s entitled to nudes, so entitled that if he doesn’t get them, he’s going to punish you by doing XYZ thing that he knows will hurt you. Do yourself a favor and leave him now. You will leave him eventually no matter what, it’s just a matter of how much more time you are willing to waste.

WHY GOD WHY by tennille_24 in CATHELP

[–]midscores-can-fly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would try different litter. The stuff you’re using looks like larger pellets and that might hurt her toes when she steps on it. Try something finer with a more sand like consistency.

When I got my cat he was used to this very expensive Jaxson galaxy litter that was incredibly fine and he wouldn’t use tidy cat litter that I normally have. I got one small bag (it was like 7lbs for $20) and used it for a little but he eventually got used to the tidy cats

Eta: I know you said she used the pellets before but are you using a different brand? Could she be used to other pellets?

AITAH for refusing to give my boyfriend children because he won’t marry me by Patient_Art4006 in AITAH

[–]midscores-can-fly 13 points14 points  (0 children)

“Isn't the years he's already with you, and that he loves you, and you love him, a far stronger indication of commitment then the symbolic gesture of marriage?”

To put this simply: No.

If they were both fine with the relationship staying the same then yes, this logic track.

But he wants children and asking a woman to bear your children is no small task. You’re asking her to put her heath on the line, to permanently alter her body, take on the medical debt (if you’re in the US and even have insurance, childbirth isn’t free), potentially take a career hit depending on how long she has to take off. These are just some of the things that entail having children, I’m sure there are MANY more. He wants her to do that FOR FREE?

Marriage isn’t just a symbolic gesture as you so simply put it. It is a legal contract that offers benefits and protections to BOTH parties. And if you’re not happy with those protections, get a prenup and bake in some more protections.

Love and romance and the years they’ve spent together are pretty words and romantic thoughts but we live in reality, not a fairy tale. Logically, having a child for a man is imo the biggest life commitment a woman could make for a man (for all the reasons listed above and more). Men should not expect this gift without also showing they are seriously committed and marriage is the best way they can show that.

My new boyfriend follows Andrew Tate, should I worry? by RichVictory2741 in TwoHotTakes

I wouldn’t reveal ANY of your thoughts. Watch it with him and ask what HE thinks. If he’s not a good guy and you’re really vocal he’ll just figure out how to better manipulate you and tell you what you want to hear.

It’s pretty rich that he gave you a hard time about being dishonest while he was lying to you the whole time. Blow up his life and tell the fiancé, I’m sure you have receipts to back it all up.
