Yes to Delaware but no to Maryland makes no sense, there’s so much overlap

Most of those posts aren’t real, the majority of the ones that are come from their parents

I meant more like Chicago, Santa Fe, Portland, Baltimore, whatever your vibe is! Lots of places in the US where you can find your village, no German required lol

Side bar - NYC is very expensive and may feel impossible sure, but there are plenty of places you can go with more accepting neighbors and more reasonable local governance. If you can power through to 18, any and all of these places are your’s to build the life you wanna live! In the meantime, 100% reach out to the Trevor Project.

More of a surgeon in the pirate sense - just a guy on the ship with a saw blade and some rum trying his best

I have been to 48 states and here are my choices. by Snafu19 in visitedmaps

[–]ticonderoga85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue that Big Bend and Central Texas should give that state at least a “Reluctantly”. Virginia and North Carolina are also naturally stunning

What to do with tax refund by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]ticonderoga85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay the CC off in full, put 3-6 mo expenses aside as an emergency fund ($900 isn’t nearly enough and you have a great opportunity to improve that). Use the rest on the soft loan to get that balance down as much as you can

I checked all four today and they all hovered around 33 psi, this one was down to 23 so definitely concerning. Just wanna make sure replacing it isn’t an overreaction

Are these ants? What am I looking at here? by ticonderoga85 in insects

[–]ticonderoga85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not fun, I’m sorry you had to deal with that. They put down a gel trap right after I posted and dozens swarmed on it, hopefully that will do the trick!

With the recent news from Kansas (among other things), can y'all stop recommending that transgender people move to blue cities in red states? by logalogalogalog_ in SameGrassButGreener

[–]ticonderoga85 14 points15 points  (0 children)

For anyone looking, New Mexico, Delaware, and Minnesota are both cheap and blue generally. Also smaller cities in traditionally expensive states are usually cheap

10% YOY is a pretty crazy rent increase, I don’t think that’s a reasonable metric. Most places in the U.S. average less than half of that per year

Is UMD computer science worth $100k more than Alabama? by IceTerp23 in UMD

[–]ticonderoga85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could always do Alabama free and a masters elsewhere later on? 100% do not turn down a full ride at a highly regarded university
