  • Drinking. It's one of the more damaging drugs but it's completely normalized because it's legal. Even people who don't have drinking problems per se, Ares still harming their health way more than they realize.

  • reduced the size of the roads just for them

    Reducing the size of roads actually makes it better for everyone. It reduces the rate of traffic fatalities by reducing speed. It's especially important for pedestrians and anyone in a car that's not a giant fucking truck or SUV.

  • What's something you grieved for "too long"?

    Jump

  • I am so sorry, I can't imagine how devastating that must have been. You didn't fail anything, you did the best you could to help someone who had already made up their mind. I hope you find some help and services.

  • My friend-breakups have been a thousand times more devastating than any romantic breakup.

  • In your opinion, when does something become unforgivable?

    Jump

  • You can forgive while also opting out of the situation, though. Forgiveness doesn't always mean a continued relationship.

  • I was really hurt about something a friend had done, and was talking to a mutual friend about it. She stopped me and said, "I feel like you are being manipulative right now and I don't like it."

    She was right. I stopped and apologized, she reassured me that she wasn't mad and understood I was hurting. Since then I'm a lot more aware of when I'm falling into that pattern. So grateful she told me instead of just deciding I was a piece of shit and doing a friendship fade-out.

  • What is the best karaoke song?

    Jump

  • If you're not a good singer: Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind. It's fast enough that you should know the words without reading them, but it's pretty much talk-singing and doesn't require much vocal range. For the doo-doo-doo part, it's pretty high but everyone will sing along with it.

    Also Say it Ain't So by Weezer will get the whole bar clapping and stomping and signing along.

  • See, I'm going to sound like an old man yelling at a cloud but I feel like having a phone to make school more tolerable isn't the answer. If a kid is having social problems, letting them escape via their phone isn't going to help develop those or avoid bullying. Letting that be the escape is a copout for adults who need to raise and teach the kids how to human.

    If they do have friends and social skills, lunch, long lines, etc. are good times to practice just being present with the people around them, or quietly in their own head. The constant drip line of available distractions is changing our brains, and I don't think it's for the better.

  • Debt utilization is a big part of a credit score. And just getting that down having multiple high limit cards is a strategy.

    I have a really good credit utilization rate, in part because of this. I don't spend money I don't have, because I make enough money to cover my needs, set aside savings for emergencies, and treat myself sometimes. And I'm privileged to have people in my life who educated me about credit, what it actually means, and how it works.

    Because of these privileges, using credit cards has saved me money by earning rewards and not paying interest. But many Americans don't have these privileges, which is why I think it's downright irresponsible and predatory that my combined credit limit is higher than my annual salary. Not home or car loans or whatever, just regular credit cards for regular consumer purchases. That's a life-ruining amount of credit to have available if you haven't been taught how to game the system.

  • Yeah, I don't necessarily agree with the game, but since we're in it, I play it. All of my purchases go on credit cards. But I never spend money I don't have, and I pay the statement balance in full every month so I'm never charged interest. The only time I don't pay the full statement balance is when I buy a new phone since I have the store card with 0% financing. But anything else, never ever ever carry a balance.

    It sucks because it's basically a benefit for people who have good executive functioning and financial literacy, paid for by those who don't. It's a benefit I only get because big banks prey on poor people.

  • Yeah and average age of credit is a positive factor too. Basically reset that with every one they cancelled.

  • Life is pretty good, people are nice, food is great. This is not true for many, many people.

  • We now have undeniable proof that one of your core beliefs is objectively wrong. Which one do you think it is and what is the new difficult truth for you to swallow?
