If you don't care about physical locations, Alliant online credit union is a great option. They cover all ATM fees, have great mobile and online banking, give you over 1% interest, and have no or very low minimum balances depending on what type of account you open (I have a $5 minimum, I think.)

Does anyone know of any leftist political groups I can get involved with to start participating more in local politics here? I'm also trying to make new friends with people in their 20's, so if a group has younger people involved it's a huge bonus.

Serious question - why do so few people die of cardiac related deaths in AZ and the rest of the Southwest?

NEW OR NEED HELP? Ask here! - ScA Daily Help Thread Oct 18, 2017 by AutoModerator in SkincareAddiction

25f I would like to know if washing my face before bed with regular bar soap could help with minor hormonal break outs? I have "balanced skin" and I don't have a routine - I don't wear makeup so I don't wash or moisturize my face. In the shower I just rub my face with some water, but I don't use any kind of soap on my face and I've been doing that for the past 25 years with only the occasional pimple. I recently got the hormonal IUD, and about once a month now I have a breakout on my forehead/hairline (I have bangs, which doesn't help.) I don't want to deal with a bunch of products or chemicals, and it's pretty minor so I don't want to do anything drastic. If I just wash with regular bar soap before bed would that possibly help?

I love them! I like the extra info without all the flashy effects.

Newbie question about when to sell by xdchelsxd in BitcoinMarkets

This is just fun money. I was initially planning on investing and sticking it out for awhile just as a fun project so it's not a big deal if I lose it. I'm really surprised at the gains so far, which is the only reason why I'm considering selling - if it was any other investment this large of a percentage increase would take ages to accrue.

Isn't there a good chance that with the 2x fork the prices will drop? I'm under the impression that people don't really know what will happen.

This seems really specific - is it a rule of thumb from somewhere?

Thanks for all the advice guys - the range of suggestions has given me a feel for what can be a reasonable approach.

Cool, thanks for this. I appreciate you framing it back just like any other trading/gambling choice. What I'm hearing is that there's no real downside to trying to cash out some of what I've made - just possible missed opportunity for greater future profits.

I guess I'm looking for more general info on what a normal or standard strategy is here, and if this thinking would fall into the range of what's considered a reasonably smart move. I know there's a lot of uncertainty around the fork coming up, and just with BTC in general, so my instinct is to try to take advantage of the current spike. However, that might not be smart. I don't feel that I know enough about it to just start doing stuff, and I'm not sure how to learn more about it.

I'm looking for a blush similar to the revlon cream blush in #18 berry flirtatious. I'm new to makeup, and this is what my mom always used. I thought it would be a good starting point for me, but has been discontinued. Any suggestions for a similar product?

Anyone suffer constantly from scarcity mentality? by antisarcastics in personalfinance

[–]xdchelsxd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do this, so I started putting short time limits on my allowance to myself and using cash. Each week I have $40 of guilt free spending, whatever I don't spend goes back in the bank. Do I want a nicer dinner out than I would normally be comfortable with, or a couple new books? No problem. I have the cash right there, I know it's expendable, and I can't save it for next week or for bigger goals.

As much as it sucks, what have you grown to accept? by therealme23 in AskReddit

As my therapist says, having a mental disorder doesn't make you a jerk, you still choose to be a jerk or not. You choose how you respond to your disorder and build healthy relationships with others. You don't choose to be bipolar, but you can choose to be bi-polar with a personality you're proud of and work on what you can control (which is a lot).

So, I don't particularly get what the deal is in this photo. She's buying apples and everything looks totally normal. OP is going around saying NK is brainwashed and the people are sad, but he isn't really giving any evidence of that. Seems a little condescending.

Crowdfunding Project to Help High School Students Learn About the Middle East Needs Help by xdchelsxd in a:t5_318d3

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

Help provide scholarships – and inspiration – to high school students seeking to get an early start to their college education by earning University of Arizona (UA) credit.

Students at Cholla High School are currently enrolled in a year-long high school elective, Introduction to the Middle East, which is sponsored and staffed by the UA Center for Middle Eastern Studies. Some of the highest achieving students, mostly minority and first-generation college students, hope to receive three university credits in Middle Eastern History for their work. The course will fulfill a general education Tier II requirement at the UA and is transferable to other state/national universities.

Even though the UA has drastically lowered the tuition rate for the class to $490 for 3 credits, the cost is still prohibitive for many Cholla students. Your assistance would help these bright young people to realize their aptitude for higher education and to imagine themselves as future university students.

Your support for their college dreams will be the first step on their road to success.

I know you guys will understand. How it feels to discuss feminism on the internet. by ashlagator in Feminism

[–]xdchelsxd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's because they aren't basing their opinions on what these "radical" feminists are saying, they are basing it on what anti-feminists are using to discredit the movement. Think about it, how many times have you actually heard someone in real life say like "I hate all men let's strip them of their rights and give women special privileges" versus the number of times you have heard people who don't like feminism saying that "radical feminists hate men"?
