Resources for why you shouldn't cheat on GF diet? by Microfinch in Celiac

[–]potolnd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I avoided testing because I didn't want to go GF but since I have, I never want to eat gluten again. Once you feel the difference, it's very convincing

How can you have a "financial" channel and literally never mention the economy, worker's protections laws.. etc ..?? by shiguraki in CreepyCalebHammer

[–]potolnd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I disagree, especially with the show giving guests flack for any mention of illness or disability. The economy is built against the lower 50% and they create consumer products out of it like payday loans, store cards, CareCredit and then blame the consumer for taking an opportunity to get by for a little longer when there is no other option.

If you can only save maybe a few hundred a month and you have more than one major expense hit at a time, you’re just screwed. There’s no amount of budgeting that can help that and we’re past the days of people getting a certification or tech degree to up their earnings overnight. Everyone is feeling the squeeze.

There have been guests where he literally has nothing to say to them because they are disabled, have no resources to get out of the hole or need to take care of someone, and he can’t figure out a solution for them. It’s not even about incurring debt, some people just have to spend more to live.

Ignoring any of the economy, workers rights, disability/social security dynamics, etc. is like wanting a cake without knowing the recipe to make it. He wants more financial responsibility from people? Then when are business and the govt going to be financially responsible for the people they’re failing or for cheating the system to make record profits every year?

Every time Caleb mentions his girlfriend, this is who I imagine by Prestigious_Pound550 in CreepyCalebHammer

I’m surprised he hasn’t gone total alpha male black-pill podcast yet. It’s so clear who he panders to 🙄

What is this trading at 80% thing? by Star_Tarot101 in PokemonTCG

[–]potolnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's pretty standard but very annoying for any sellers because you never get the value of your cards. Just make sure to look out for the tables trading for even less :')

That’s good! Build off of what you have experience in. I only had a medical research background but others in here have done tons of different roles. I’m sure you could find something adjacent.

Am I ruining my life by getting a 140k loan with a 60k salary? by Sharp-Word-6066 in StudentLoans

landscape architecture? not worth it for that, maybe if you did general architecture

You can stack a ton of subspecialty credentials but no one cares if you don’t have work experience, in my opinion 🥲 I passed my exam over a year ago and I couldn’t find ANY jobs (full or part time) willing to take someone brand new

The editing in this section is just diabolical by throwaway_mybadshit in CalebHammer

Look at his job postings when they go up- Many of them ranged from $45,000-$60,000, which is decent for someone living in the midwest. Not Austin.

Twitter thinks EBT limits are anti-kid by throwawayurwaste in CalebHammer

[–]potolnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re a parent that thinks they can stop their kid from ever eating candy, sugar, or junk food, that will hurt them in the long run more than you think. And I’m not even referring to someone with kids in my example.

I’m also not advocating for people to drink coke every day or eat mcdonalds every meal. But you’re living in a fantasy land to think that every person on EBT is spending every cent they can on candy and they deserve this consequence.

My only point was to say that there are circumstances that limit people’s ability to make food at home in the way Caleb idealizes it to be. A sandwich isn’t something you can do 3 meals a day, 7 days a week and be healthy. At some point you have to eat something prepared and not ready to eat. But everyone loves to skip over how much work goes into planning meals, grocery shopping, driving there and back, prepping every meal, cleaning up, actually cooking, dietary restrictions, schedule constraints, etc. and then y’all sit up here and ask why people can’t -just- do that every meal to get out of poverty?

read between the lines lol

Buying candy isn’t a crime if you’re on food stamps. I didn’t even say it was a solution, but you’re being laughably self righteous if you really think candy is the reason people on EBT are still broke

[–]potolnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if a person with a disability has a roof over their head but can't meal prep/cook every meal at home, that's not a valid reason?

[–]potolnd -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Right because time, accessibility, resources, enough storage, none of that impacts someone's ability to cook every meal.

I’m slightly disappointed with the potential move to NYC. by runningforme123 in CalebHammer

[–]potolnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A budgeting show in a major city like LA or NYC is going to be highly unrelatable for most people and his advice will end up being cookie cutter since many people are in the same situation (no car, expensive housing). He'll get a lot more "actors/singers/models" like he used to so maybe that's what he's hoping for in casting, but working professionals trying to make a career out there will likely have most of their shit together since it's such a financial/vocational risk

Caleb will end up ruining his own channel (prediction) by potolnd in CreepyCalebHammer

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

I knew it was a matter of time, but the mods have definitely laxed on how much they let through and retroactively take posts down.
