As long as they have a group to scapegoat

Get involved locally. Change the world in your vicinity.

That’s strange. I’ve had a few mortgages now and have never been asked to show my investment portfolio. Where are you and what bank asked for the info?

That comment added to one of the cited posts “and this is how you develop borderline personality disorder” is stupid and irresponsible. BPD is so deep, complex, and harmful that I bet that person has never had to deal with it in the first place.

I just had to purchase a vehicle. My insurance company basically asked me not to buy a KIA or Hyundai and warned that the premiums for those makes were super high.

I don’t care if you don’t think it’s right for gay people to get married, but the moment you try to take my friends’ or family’s rights away, then we’re going to have conflict. Do you see the difference?

Disgraceful life? What on earth are you referring to?

What country are you in? I can’t see it in the US

I was about to make the same comment. It looks like my terminal.

That post is fascinating. Thanks!

Try pooling your resources with others. I know my experience was from a long time ago but this is how I see people making it work now as well.

I had roommates for several years after school. It should have been even longer but I had to get married early like a dumbass. If you can at all, use that time to save what you can.

While you’re doing that, get experience and connections at work. People will come and go and it’ll be helpful to have people you can reach out to that know you enjoy your work and see that you’re good at it.

Most companies don’t provide good growth opportunities from within so every couple years, look at making a move. My biggest pay jumps have occurred this way.

Don’t be afraid to apply for positions that you might feel are just out of reach. Having connections that can vouch for you and help you with your resume are very valuable for these.

Along the way, don’t pass up your employer’s retirement matching, and save as much as you can. Since you don’t have a degree, look for certifications in your industry or take advantage of any help your employer can provide with tuition for college. Don’t be afraid to do it slowly if you have to.

I know I had a lot of help getting opportunities but it was always on me to make the most of them. Good luck, I hope you make it where want to be.

The issue here, I’m sorry to say, is that your parents dropped the ball. They were the ones responsible for your health and the safety of your environment.

National parks are awesome

It’s a bit late in the game to drum up support for third party candidates. Republicans have been playing the long game and pushing local elections hard right for years, decades even. You can’t jump in a few months before elections and expect to make any difference other than ensuring the Republican base wins again.

Ranked choice is the only solution.

Brad, Shame

Hopefully you’ve tipped off the cops

What do you mean when you say practice meditation? What is it that you do?
