| Topic | Bloomberg wants to take your student loan payments out of your paycheck. |
| Romulox28 02/20/20 10:46:38 AM #51 | Bestoffuture posted... Like someone said earlier in this topic, if I have some exorbitant expense that month, student loan payments will take a backseat, I don't get that option if it's taken out.if you do that you're just going to make things significantly more difficult for yourself. you'll get hit with late fees, possibly have your credit affected, plus you still owe that payment + the next month's --- |
| Topic | Bloomberg wants to take your student loan payments out of your paycheck. |
| Romulox28 02/20/20 10:17:17 AM #46 | Why is this a bad idea? Seems like a reasonable way to make progress on student loans so you don't end up falling behind on payments --- |

| Topic | Drafting a speech for my sister's wedding this weekend |
| Romulox28 02/20/20 9:45:16 AM #10 | MrMallard posted... Maybe it needs more workshopping, but I think it makes a solid, positive point of my sister's marriage in the face of bigotry against her sexuality. I also genuinely believe that people who would write off gay marriage, even in the face of a relationship that builds to marriage over a period of years, are being fucking stupid.I guess what I don't get is why you feel the need to bring up the difficult social/"political" (for lack of a better word) components of your sister's/her partner's sexuality at all during the toast at their wedding. mostly likely she & her partner have to deal with homophobia all the time, it is something that they will have to continue to deal with probably for the rest of their lives, so i don't really see a reason to bring this up and treat them with a sense of "otherness" at their own wedding. I am not gay, but I have attended a gay wedding and I thought it was nice that at that wedding, there wasnt really anything about any of the bullshit that surrounds their lives. it was just a bunch of people happy for them celebrating their love, which is how i think weddings should be imo - a little bubble independent of the outside world, where all it is is happy people celebrating the love & potential of a new married couple --- |
| Topic | Drafting a speech for my sister's wedding this weekend |
| Romulox28 02/20/20 9:27:22 AM #5 | MrMallard posted... There are people who would oppose such a union for the sheer fact that it doesn't align with their worldview. But if two people - regardless of gender, social standing, creed, religion or any other social modifier - can share such a strong bond, and work to accommodate each other over such a long period of time? That's worth celebrating. Why oppose a union this strong, this long in the making? I don't think there is a rational reason.i would take this paragraph out tbh, plus the second one where you're like "i can count the amount of times i met my sister's wife on two hands". plus id add in more stuff that is personal, it kind of seems like an essay on marriage and not a speech towards two people you have a relationship with. it's weird that in your background of your speech you list tons of great personal details and then in the speech it is very cold and robotic sounding. just my two cents --- |

| Romulox28 02/19/20 2:28:08 PM #1 | it's interesting, i dont think ive ever really played a game like this where the gameplay & production were so solid but i was wholly uninterested most of the time. i think it's partially due to the story (didnt give a shit about the pointless plot or any of the characters) & partially due to the whole design/aesthetic of the game feeling like it belonged 10 years i the past. anyone else play this? --- |

| Topic | Should I get this computer? |
| Romulox28 02/18/20 3:19:15 PM #15 | some odd comments ITT, the PC is a little expensive but it's not that bad. for $650 you get a (fairly) recent i5, 12GB of RAM (over the baseline of 8gb), an SSD, and Dell's build quality/warranty. plus you can always upgrade it, the mobo will support additional RAM, you can buy a cheap ass HDD for storage, maybe even a GPU if the power supply can handle it (prebuilt power supplies are usually crap). i think it's a decent buy, maybe you can find an equivalent PC for $100 less but this isnt awful. --- |

| Topic | What is your morning routine? How early do you wake up and when do you clock in? |
| Romulox28 02/17/20 10:43:01 AM #21 | In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, Ill put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial masque which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion. --- |

| Romulox28 02/17/20 10:41:02 AM #7 | i really like my Discover It cash back card. you get 1% cash back on everything & each quarter, there will be a rotating category that gives you 5% cash back. plus your first year with the card, discover will 100% match your cash back rewards, and the balance never expires. we got the card in early 2019 and just redeemed our cash back yesterday, we were able to credit $700 to our account. pretty cool --- |
