Zero family support or indifferent family support?

Zero family support nets you assistance programs.

Indifferent means you at least have food and shelter covered.

Its not particularly hard to make it without family. They just cant shoot your kneecaps by screwing you over financially.

I still very much liked how my first play through went.

People saying Karas was pointless only highlights how unfortunate their play through must have went.

Everyone always makes Connor defect just because it feels correct. But its cool how different your game goes depending on how you perceive stuff.

My Markus was legit pissed on how he got trashed, so I actually agreed with North and thought Josh was a naive dumbass.

But Karas story is important to show how civilian androids are affected. This is emphasized if your Kara DOESNT escape Jericho like mine did. My Markus was literally fighting a full scale battle leading to a boss fight with Connor to save Kara and Alice.

I cant imagine the game ending differently tbh.

Or would you prefer that banks not allow one to defer payments and require the minimum be paid on-time even if the debtor is still in school and/or not working? And don't even try to say that banks should allow one to defer their loans for free: banks are not a charity.

This doesnt make sense to me.

To not pay, means its accruing interest. The guy who defers three years is still paying more overall than the guy who pays immediately even without capitalizing.

Deferring for free is a false statement. The price is that the interest is going unpaid.

We should be rewarding those that pay. Not harming those that cant.

Putting aside the politics of student loans, the reason for this is the time value of money. Loan payments are worth more today than they are tomorrow. A deferred payment is value lost to the lender.

How if interest still accrues. Using this logic only helps my argument since capitalization makes loans cost more later. While still accruing full interest.

It's just how loans work

Why? Only student loans do this, to my knowledge.

Are you okay with this?

Most loans have monthly payments due right away. If you're going to wait several years before paying, the bank is missing out on the interest. To me it makes sense that it would be capitalized into the loan.

Subsidized loans do not not accrue interest. The interest is simply being paid by the government.

Private loans, despite being deferred, still accrue interest just like federal unsubsidized loans do.

So no one is missing out on interest anywhere.

If anything, since no payment is made, student loans accrue more interest than any loan type. All that juicy interest immediately capitalizes after your grace period btw.

there's no asset to back the loan. if i fall behind on my car payment or home mortgage the bank can just repossess the car or house, but it's not like they can take back your education, so predatory shit like this is needed

Federal loans are backed by the department of Ed. Which means they can garnish your shit.

I can get an unsecured loan or credit card and still not deal with capitalization.

Private loans have scam level interest.

Why is this a thing?

Because student loans can be deferred while most other types of loans cant

Okay? Why is capitalization needed? Interest for unsubsidized loans still accrue. Why does it need to capitalize?

Forbearance capitalizes interest. Most student loans capitalize WITHOUT any action at set times, like quarterly.

Why is this a concept? If someone falls behind, presumably paying is an issue. Why is increasing the principle directly and the accrued interest indirectly the consequence? Effectively making paying harder.

I dislike stories like this.

Countless people try to get contact from God, but it doesnt happen. A random lady asks jokingly and apparently the guy controls a bird for her.

Its insultingly stupid that God is praised so much. There are plenty of good willed people who dont get their prayers answered at all. To say he has a plan as a cop-out is lazy. Im glad the lady in the OP is much happier for the influence, but I still dislike this special event of God reaching out to me enlightenment.

Its the definition of being a snowflake imo. God reached out to ME!

I hate my job. But loans I took out as a teenager force me to do something I hate just to not get fucked. Fuck interest.

Its frustrating to have to pretend to be ok when people ask how are you. I dont have a poker face at all, so I honestly just prefer to not be seen to avoid the issue.

Because I wish to not be seen, I feel immense loneliness. I cant immediately get praise since I dont use social media, and any friends I may have just refuse to text.

Said loneliness affects my mood. I feel very apathetic. I dont enjoy what I typically enjoy doing.

My apathy seeps into my appetite. Ive had a bowl of oatmeal in the last 24 hours, and thats it. I just dont feel like eating.

Same for sleeping. I feel tired. But body wont sleep.

I try to listen to uplifting music. Which gives me pep for 5 minutes. Before I realize I am still in reality.

I try to indirectly ask for help by making it obvious to people close to me that Im off. Since asking directly seems like an inconvenience or would scare them off.

The only person I can talk to reliably is my dog.

It just kinda sucks. People constantly lie and make up stuff just to make themselves feel better. I feel very unprepared.

So did the frieza saga?

It was always Frieza. He just had henchmen. Vegeta was a third party.

Dr Gero was the villain first, with no foreshadowing of #17 and 18. Then #17 and 18 were the villains Trunks warned about. But then bug man comes out of nowhere killing a city and I guess hes the main villain now. None of the villains were ever on the same team. Were gonna ignore Cyborg Frieza at the start.

ZMythos posted...

He wasn't just evil, he had a lust for fighting and pride. He had more character than any villain.

But him stopping for a tournament is the stupidest shit Dragonball has ever done. Its a complete tone shift. Bad writing.

ZMythos posted...

Not really, Vegeta did some irredeemable shit.

I didnt say he was a hero or something. I said he had the best moments. His speech when he became Majin, his fight with Goku, his (pointless) sacrifice, him tanking Kid Buu, and his completion of his character in recognizing Goku as the best are all top level DBZ moments.

Dragonball Z has always been bad. I dunno why the Buu saga gets so much shit. It had some of the best moments. Mainly from Vegeta.

Captain Marvel is OP. Her role was TKOing Thanos ship since no other character could do that solo.

If you noticed, every character who could take a stoneless Thanos solo were either weakened (Depressed Thor), distracted (Strange stopping a flood), or got interrupted by a surprise attack (Scarlet getting bombed).

Captain Marvel did enough. If she did any more, there would be zero tension in the movie.

The movie genuinely showed her being leagues above everyone, but still showing that she can be outsmarted twice. Which is good. It was very easy to just make her the answer. But they didnt.

Thanos is pissed that people don't embrace his new world, so he realizes he needs to get rid of everyone and start from scratch. Makes perfect sense following his twisted views.

You're also implying Thanos wasn't evil. His cause is only noble to a maniac like him.

Dude, you got to keep yourself busy to keep that girl off your mind. This is literally the best time to improve yourself since she won't be distracting you and it'll improve your mood doing other things

I understand the logic. But she helped me become motivated.

The odd thing is that Im completely content with myself as is. I have disposable income. My credit is great. My body is pretty small, but Im getting there. Im eating better.

But anything else I dont need. I only really care if Im with someone. Thus my issue. I refuse to be alone again.

Go out by yourself and interact with people.

Don't tell me you're a grown adult who needs other people to have any fun or interaction.

Make friends, clique up with strangers, be social.

Where?

At this age, people already have friend circles. People already have their group they are safe making weekend plans with. Some lone stranger is not going to somehow infiltrate.

I know you dont do this. Yet you glibly think its somehow good advice.

Next thing you tell me is to join a hobby/club/group. As if those are just everywhere while also being open weekends since I work workdays.

I am a grown adult who cannot have fun constantly alone, yes. My primary source of enjoyment is seeing the enjoyment of others. Sue the hell out of me for having a personality defect I guess.

Talking to strangers isnt difficult, no. But befriending one isnt. I dont perform well in large groups, and most people who are out are in large groups.

So please, dont talk so dismissively.

Im not sure what your post is even referring too.

I tried to do things not involving her. But literally everyone I know either doesnt have time or just wont do anything. My gf was the only one, but as per the topic, now even she doesnt have time.

So I have to sit in solitude and just think all day. Over and over again. If I could stay active this would be easier.

just realize (like I have, and it's been hard to do so) that you don't miss her, you miss how she made you feel. she's not special and there's more girls out there that will make you feel the same way without all this bullshit and hurt that follows

I dunno. I feel like I definitely miss her.

I tried to hang out three of my closer friends recently. One never responded to my text. One made plans, but their phone wont receive texts when I follow up, while the third just canceled last minute today.

Everyone else is entirely unreliable at anything, and Im feeling more and more dread as days go by. I tried to occupy my day by just being by myself today. And besides running with my dog, I realize just now all I did was run errands for myself. Which isnt any different from my codependent relationships of days past.

Im trying really hard not to text her, but when shes the only one who reciprocates, its extremely hard.

Work sucks. My computer that had all my writing and journaling just died. And I feel like she left at quite possibly the worst time. Im literally blogfaqing now.

It takes months to get over a girl you liked. Maybe more if she dumps you.

Have you tried contacting her?

Yes. Initially I tried to be friends, but it was too soon to try that.

Then every now and then Id text and stuff. Its not like were on bad terms or anything. But her texts were visibly less energetic. I dunno if its because shes seriously that out of it or if its me. After a while, I just decided to do the no contact method. Especially since returning her book was a hard process. Ill see where it goes.

So when are you supposed to start feeling good again? Because tbh, Im becoming more agitated each day.

I went up and down for a while. there were spikes where I felt horrible (either sad or angry) for weeks and months later but the overall trend of my mood was improving. like even that sting I felt when I thought about her was diminishing over time. it got worse when she contacted me again so i'd recommend avoiding her. also get rid of anything that reminds you of her. like anything she gave you. that helped me a lot

This helps. I was unsure if my experience was normal. I have her book, which I tried to return, but it proved more difficult than necessary. Though I will admit it was an excuse to see her again.

BlazinBlue88 posted...

Exactly what I did in this situation. Just going about the daily monotony but without her doesn't help anything.

This might be my issue too. I regressed on things like going to the gym or writing, or playing with my dog. I need to get myself to do these things again for my own sake.

I havent read the rest of the posts but the fact you never got into an argument is actually a red flag to me.

I consider getting into an argument actually a good thing once in a while. It means both of you are passionate about something.

I have found that the strangest couples are the ones who barely ever argue.

I could be wrong, but this is something Ive picked up over the years. Im convinced a lot of women like when you disagree with them at times. It may present a knowledge that youre not just kissing their ass and have your own mindset.

Interesting viewpoint. Maybe my navet, but I just figured neither of us were ones to rock the boat if it wasnt important. I expect disagreements to come about more if we lived together. Thats when personalities can most clash.
