Kefit posted:I've always wondered for FAFSA type stuff - what if your parents have substantial means, but refuse to provide any assistance with paying for college? You're screwed. You can get unsubsidized loans and private loans. Your parents being unwilling to pay for college does not get you independent status. Now if they're unwilling to pay because you won't go to gay conversion therapy or some other terrible parent special, you can file an appeal for independent status.

I'm a big VR proponent. FPS games in VR are an adrenaline rush like I've only experienced playing paintball. Exercise in VR is great for those who hate cardio. That said, I can't VR for more than two hours, and definitely have no desire to work from a virtual office. The headsets are still too heavy. Meta left me confused. All that money, and it's basically a worse Altspace. I feel for you folks who get motion sick, you're missing some incredible experiences. I think it can be trained out of your system, but it's not super fun. I used to read on family car trips until I was near to throwing up. I'd take a 15 minute break. Then go at it again. Now as an adult I can read for 1-2 hours on a car trip without getting sick.

Everything was going great after crypto tanked and I was finally making my money back. Four or five days ago FTX filed for bankruptcy and people lost millions of dollars. I am luckily not one who lost over 10k, but like many others my app is frozen and all the funds are gone. Planning on spending 10k on a ring or investing it in crypto, which is more BWM?

The only semi-prosperous spot is London (which is why everyone with any prospects moves there, driving salaries there down and rent skyward) and the rest of the country looks more like a colder, damper Portugal than the former seat of a global empire.

I lost all interest before I went to college, and they were just stored in my parents attic with my other crap. I kept planning to go digging for them, but always put it off, reasoning they were protected and would only increase in value over time. Then a tornado hit. Of the ones I could find, 99% were water damaged. The rest were scattered in the storm. RIP. If you think you might have something valuable, don't be lazy and complacent like me.

Sundae posted:We had a thread for poo poo like this in BFC for a while. The OP professed to sell black-label whiskey stills IIRC, and the rest of the thread was people trying to figure out what they could black-label or dropship off Alibaba, and a lot of market-testing using SEO domains + Google ads to permanently out-of-stock stores to gauge if people wanted their product. BFC has had some weird, weird threads over the years. (Though to be fair - I learned about the erotica self-pub market from a thread in this subforum and that actually really worked in spite of sounding like the dumbest idea imaginable. Maybe some goons retired as millionaires from drop-shipping kamado grills - gently caress if I know.) I remember this thread! It got me started in web development, because I started researching niche keywords. Actually did pretty well off it, visit wise. I used a keyword crammed URL and was getting like 30k uniques a month before I got bored of writing my own content and rabbit holed on auto content generation. Affiliate selling and lead generation is actually still a really good way to make bank, and it's largely turnkey once you get your ops set up. I knew a guy who ran a boardgameprices.com type website who was making 5 figures monthly, just from affiliate links. I had/have a really good affiliate space that I know would also work, but I'm too drat lazy to set it up. So I guess I'm the one who is BWM.

Assuming the FDIC acted fast enough they'll probably get most of their money back eventually but it's about to be an awkward few months.

Posing as a manager from the corporate office, he persuaded employees to douse the building with fire suppression chemicals and to then proceed outside, remove all of their clothing and urinate on each other. He claimed the chemicals were caustic and this would render them inert.[10] When "Dex" posted the audio to YouTube he described it as "Epic KFC Prank Call (greatest ever)...dex successfully convinces the 3 female employees to undress fully nude outside and urinate on each other." Many months later "Dex", posing this time as an insurance adjuster, called the same KFC and had the victims describe their experiences while Pranknet members listened.[6]

BWM - Me, my hot water heater just went out and needs to be replaced, and it physically pained me to transfer funds from my high yield savings to pay for it, despite understanding the interest I'd pay financing the replacement would far outstrip the money I'm making in savings.

Good BWM hatewatch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZpWki2mOA4 He starts out with some sympathy when he says he can't find work because of an ill-advised tweet. But as you quickly find out, he probably can't find work because he's an absolutely insufferable person. Then all the hits play out. Refuses to take jobs that are beneath him. Dwells incessantly on his past achievements. Leaches off his parents. Everything is someone else's fault.

Motronic posted:How does this gain him any sympathy? He made a public terroristic thread towards the governor of his state. That's no okay, no matter who you are or they are. It perfectly encapsulates this person's impulse control problems which a a large part of why they are failing at life. "I'll eat your heart" is about on par with "I'll gnaw on your bones" for serious threats. It's hyperbole. Stupid (and weird) and ill-advised to say to anyone, let alone a public figure, but okay, maybe he was just a drunken dumbass, sucks that his life was ruined thereafter. But then the rest of the video goes on and it's a pretty obvious pattern like you say. By the midpoint of the video I want to hear the side of the guy who assaulted him.
