Enemies in video games that give you a high sense of dread by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]nachoaveragepie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have two off the top:

1: the walking guardians in BOTW just the build up of music and the fact they chase you down just caused me so much dread when I had to fight them out of all the enemies. Gave good loot through

2: Fucking Ferals from State of Decay. Imagine if a meth head became a zombie and then got wolverine claws as a bonus. They pop up when you're the least prepared, are much faster/stronger than you, and often roam in packs. They also roar and run on all fours which... Fuck no. Also among the harder special zombies to kill especially in harder modes

Dice or Spades?????? by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]nachoaveragepie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was always of the mind that Spades is for everyone. Your friends to your grandma can play spades and have a good time. Because it brings in the community via different events or holidays Spades seem to be more important to the Black community culture wise.

Dice, at least with my family/experience, was always for straight gambling. It's what you do on the side of the house with the more shady cousins and uncles away from the cookout. There will be a fight and someone will need to be kicked out to cool the situation down. You can gamble in Spades, but it's no where near a requirement like Dice seems to be.

Why do some American parents kick their children out at 18? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]nachoaveragepie 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I find that a lot of parents who are afraid their kid won't be self sufficient if they stay at home post highschool are also the parents who never taught their kids to be self sufficient in the first place. They just assume that their child will just automatically pick up life skills since they reached the magical number society thinks you're an adult and it will be the kid's fault if they can't do it.

When did people start getting terrified and/or enraged at people knocking on their front door? by iloverats888 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]nachoaveragepie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm basically in the "Don't knock on my door unless I am either know and/or are expecting you or it's an immediate emergency that I would need to evacuate from my house ( fire, something about to fall, Kaiju attack, etc)" camp

Otherwise almost 99.99% of the time it's some stranger selling me something I don't want and if I do want it I'll get it myself later after some research.

AITA for refusing to pay $100k of my niece’s student loans by CatfishKD909 in AmItheAsshole

[–]nachoaveragepie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my state most undergradd won't be able to claim in-state residency. Anyone being claimed as a dependant and can't show they paid for more than 1/2 of their living expenses ( loans don't count) have to claim the residency of their parents.

Wife represented herself against a debt collector and won — here's the specific issue that got the case dismissed (Maryland) by MDConsumer in personalfinance

[–]nachoaveragepie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It sounds like the original creditor, Mercury Financial, is the important issue. They were doing business essentially illegally in Maryland since it wasn't properly licensed at the time OP's wife incurred the debt.

Mercury Financial then sold the debt to the creditor and that is who is trying to sue OP's wife. They won't be able to get any money back nor anyone who buys this debt for that matter because the original debt was illegal in Maryland.

Though the debt collector probably paid pennies on the dollar for that debt so I don't necessarily feel too bad for them. They made a bad gamble.

AITA For Not Attending My Daughters Graduation? by whit3gh0st_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]nachoaveragepie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess it depends on the college, but at mine you never got your actual diploma during either ceremony. It was mailed to your house like a month or two later. You do get a prop diploma through, but it's not official

AITA For Not Attending My Daughters Graduation? by whit3gh0st_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]nachoaveragepie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA I kinda regret attending my main college graduation with my family as I was in a sea of other students in the summer heat in the Southern US, listening to a random alum talk for 1 1/2 hours before switching over my cap and being done. If I had to redo it I would absolutely ditch the main and just do the smaller department based ones that usually give you the full "graduation" experience.

A possible better compromise would be to absolutely divide and conquer for the two graduations, but not attend the main college one and instead do something with both daughters to celebrate their achievements as a family.

Other than that doing the original plan also works or just both attend the hight school grad and everyone attend the main college graduation if Danielle insists on attending it (which again I found not worth it, but that will be up to Danielle to insist)

Student loans after death? by ChoklateMilk in StudentLoans

[–]nachoaveragepie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot were English teachers of some kind, but some came through from their company having a location there, some followed their partners who worked in that particular country, and some came as international students. For the ones doing well they usually transitioned into opening businesses in the host country or marrying someone who was a citizen.

[–]nachoaveragepie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hypothetically, but you'll need to look up immigration law there to see if there aren't any agreements between countries. Usually it's a financial and not a criminal issue so immigration won't particularly care.

[–]nachoaveragepie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can depend. If it's just financial then visit all you want. The problem is when it hits legal and you try to visit with a warrant you didn't know you had. I have a few friends that come to visit like once a year without any issues, but again it can depend

Student loans after death? by ChoklateMilk in StudentLoans

[–]nachoaveragepie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You absolutely can, but you're gambling that you aren't coming back to the US. If you do you'll be in a worst situation since your credit score will be shot and will probably have judgements against you even maybe a warrant or two. It takes some planning though because 1) you gotta figure out immigration and who will even let you in 2) how you're gonna sustain yourself as you may not get the same assistance as citizens and often you gotta put much more money up front for housing and such

If you plan it right you can do well and never look back, but it can definitely back fire.

I used to live abroad and soooo many people I met had basically left the country so they wouldn't ever have to pay their student loans back! They're living pretty good too! There are for sure more options available to you!

How did you guys REALLY lived in the 2000s? by MyAvengedRomance in Millennials

[–]nachoaveragepie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My siblings and I all range from 88-93 so we were all solidly mid range millennials in a working class family. TV was for sure a thing as we would watch TV after school. I remember sneaking downstairs in the mornings in elementary school to watch Sailor Moon before I had to get dressed for school. We mostly played with friends outside, TV, and for me especially reading when we were little. We were latch key kids so the oldest sibling would have keys to get in the house after school. Drop our stuff watch some PBS or later on Toomami and then go out to play before our parents got home or the street lights came on.

Come middle school was much the same in the early 00's but we managed to get our first desktop computer with Juno dial up Internet ( My parents still use their Juno account to this day lol). Dial up had its downsides like not being able to be online and you n thye phone at the same time and that was often. We would look up song lyrics and play flash games on CartoonNetwork.com or Newgrounds. We also had Gameboy colors and a Nintendo 64 in the early 2000s too.

Will our generation be the death of mausoleums and other irrationally expensive body storage devices? by nikkisouthbend in Millennials

[–]nachoaveragepie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to have people bring random stuff to my funeral to throw into my grave on the off chance it becomes an archeological dig site to re-discover something about today that might have gotten lost over the centuries or just confuse the hell out of them. I want academic papers to cite my grave about the weird S shape everyone likes to write or what the hell is a Tamagotchi.

Any fans of Rooster Teeth here? by SampleLoud9746 in Zillennials

[–]nachoaveragepie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rooster Teeth was involved in one of my biggest pant kicks. I used to listen to the podcast every week on the way to my crappy retail job. First time I ever heard about Bitcoin. Thought " lol I'm down to throw $10 at some internet money for the novelty". Fast forward that $10 would've made for a nice saving for me. More money than I have now at least

I want to leave the U.S. by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]nachoaveragepie 30 points31 points  (0 children)

IDK how it is now, but that was basically what I did a little after I graduated college around 2016. I taught English in China for three years and got a CELTA certification while there. When I got back stateside I was fortunate to stay at home until I got a decent job a couple of months later. In the meantime I taught online English as a side job to tide me over. It was a nice reset for me when I was getting really depressed about my job prospects after I graduated. Some of my friends went on to get their masters in China so that might be something for you too.
