What advice would you give to people in their 20s?
  • Keep your share of rent between 1/4 and 1/3 of your income, set up passive savings contributions of at least 10% and use a high yield savings account to stave off inflation until you both have 3 months living expenses and understand why the best investment strategies are boring

    If you're in university, your desired career and its requirements should determine your major, , not the other way around

    I graduated with a bachelor's degree only to realize my career was a dead end because only in my senior year was I informed there's such thing as a "mental health license" for which I was disqualified due to low grades in a non-related class the year prior. Eventually I learned how well blue collar jobs pay (with a lot of job security at that) and got back on my feet working in logistics but I'll never see the 50x return on investments by retirement because "why learn about finances when you can barely pay rent"

    It all seems very obvious in hindsight

  • This woman pays 100% of her income on rent
  • Understood. I've only recently been learning how much Canadian mortgages force their lendees to "readjust" to new conditions. In the US you can generally keep the initial terms shy of a refinance or foreclosure

    Can you provide any local insight as to whether you can find a decent house at a lower rate than that?

    I know housing affordability is a shit show there and that lady isn't making enough no matter what she does but I'm curious how much she could have lowered that percentage

  • This woman pays 100% of her income on rent
  • She had to sell her house after her divorce and now pays $2,679 per month for a three-bedroom townhouse in the same neighbourhood. She didn't want her children, a teen boy and teen girl, to have to switch schools or share a bedroom

    Then... What did selling the house achieve...?

  • Bagged milk memories
  • The high schools in Putnam County, FL were like this at least when I was a kid as a way to "keep costs low"

    My dad unironically told me they added a paved road recently to show things are improving

  • The first person to become famous for blinking must have been like

    Any luck/experience contributing more bike-friendly roads to Google Maps

    I thought this would be dead simple but trying to label a road as "bike-friendly" isn't as intuitive as one would hope (am I "adding" a road even though it's technically there or reporting "wrong info" piece by piece?)

    Made this PRAW script to ensure my Reddit data is cleared before deactivating. I sure hope a bunch of people don't run it during the last few days of free API access...

    You'll need to update the praw.Reddit() parameters and set booleans to True based on what you want to have cleared.

    This also overwrites your comments with nonsense content seeing as Reddit doesn't really delete your comments if nobody forces them

    Sorry about the amateurish Python, this isn't my go-to language

    ``` import praw

    #Update all values set to XXXXXX and set boolean values to True for whatever you'd like to clear

    reddit = praw.Reddit( client_id="XXXXXX", client_secret="XXXXXX", user_agent="script running locally", #required for PRAW but not sure content matters username="XXXXXX", password="XXXXXX" )

    #booleans delete_posts = False delete_comments = False delete_saved = False clear_votes = False unsubscribe = False

    def get_posts(): return reddit.user.me().submissions.new(limit=100)

    def get_comments(): return reddit.user.me().comments.new(limit=100)

    def get_subscriptions(): return reddit.user.subreddits()

    def get_saved_items(): return reddit.user.me().saved(limit=100)

    def get_upvoted(): return reddit.user.me().upvoted(limit=100)

    def get_downvoted(): return reddit.user.me().downvoted(limit=100)

    while(clear_votes): count = 0 upvotes = get_upvoted() downvotes = get_downvoted() for vote in upvotes: try: vote.clear_vote() count += 1 print('Clearing vote for: ', vote) except Exception as e: print('Could not clear vote due to: ', e, '(this is normal for archived posts)') continue for vote in downvotes: try: vote.clear_vote() count += 1 print('Clearing vote for: ', vote) except Exception as e: print('Could not clear vote due to: ', e, '(this is normal for archived posts)') continue if(count == 0): clear_votes = False

    while(delete_saved): count = 0 saved_items = get_saved_items() for item in saved_items: item.unsave() count += 1 print('Unsaved item ID: ', item) if(count == 0): delete_saved = False

    while(delete_posts): count = 0 posts = get_posts() for post in posts: print("Deleting submission: ", post) post.delete() count += 1 if(count == 0): delete_posts = False

    #Replace comments with nonsense data first as Reddit only "marks comments as" deleted while(delete_comments): count = 0 comments = reddit.user.me().comments.new(limit=1000) print("Replacing comments with nonsense data") for comment in comments: comment.edit('So long and thanks for all the fish') print("Deleting comments") for comment in comments: comment.delete() count+=1 if (count == 0): delete_comments = False

    while(unsubscribe): count = 0 subscriptions = get_subscriptions() for subreddit in subscriptions: subreddit.unsubscribe() count += 1 print('Unsubscribed from: ', subreddit.display_name) if (count == 0): unsubscribe = False

    print('--finished--') ```
