Ethan Taylor9 said:Oh, you can definitely do that! Honestly, some banks offer specific student loans meant for general living expenses too, so instead of looking for one giant lump sum for tuition, you could grab a loan that gives you, say, $300 a month, and just use that to pay off your driving lessons over a few months—it works out great. For instance, JPMorgan Chase has this whole setup specifically tailored for younger people,
I mean, my only thought is that you might struggle to find a lender willing to cut you a single check for the entire cost of a driver's license upfront, because like my buddy mentioned earlier, it's pretty tough to get a loan approved for things that aren't directly related to your degree. But using that monthly stipend to chip away at your driving costs? That's a solid plan.

Thanks a lot 🙂

Hey Benjamin Murphy34... I have a question. I’m planning on heading to college this year and I was thinking about taking out a student loan. But here’s the thing: I wouldn't be using it for tuition, just to cover my driver's ed costs. Does that kind of loan actually cover stuff like that, or does it strictly have to be tied to school fees?

hehe... what are you, some modern-day dictator? hehe😂😂😂😂

Matthew Morales17 said:I mean, I really can't wrap my head around this part, you know? Are we all truly equal and just fundamentally the same? What was the poet even trying to get at with that thought? 🤷

Look, I'm not saying we're all saints... it's just that it really grinds my gears when someone acts all high and mighty, like they've cornered the market on intelligence and everyone else is just beneath them 🤷... we aren't all identical, sure, but nobody is actually above anyone else, no matter how smart, rich, or good-looking they might be...

Benjamin Hall78 said:Honestly, what really gets under my skin is that blatant hypocrisy and all this performative piety people put on, especially when they start peppering their everyday, face-to-face conversations with those ridiculous internet abbreviations we usually reserve for a text message.

Yeah, exactly... like using "lol" or "xd" in person... god... as if it's actually funny. And then someone tries to defend it by saying those are just ways to show you're laughing, but instead of actually laughing, they just say the word out loud...🙄🙄🤣🤣

Carol Castillo4 said:Cut the crap. ☕

I'm still not being dramatic😉 here. I just said a lot of you people seem to love romance, and fine, if you do... but I don't see the point in making such a huge deal out of it. Besides, so what if I'm not into it? You gonna come over here and shoot me or something?...😂😕😕😕

Here’s a few more things I can’t stand... I hate that whole "soft" attitude some people here seem to have, plus being spoiled, laziness, and honestly, romance. I just don't get the appeal of all that romantic stuff—like, what's actually great about someone handing you a bouquet of flowers? It’s just pure stupidity...🙂🙂And Drew Morgan, that’s just my take on it, since most of you probably think it's lovely...🙂🙂

Yeah, seriously... people hurting animals is just straight up disgusting...😠😢👎

lonegardener said:I’m honestly not following what everyone means by this "slowness" thing. 😕

Is this some kind of inside joke from California? 🤣

Well, I'm not exactly a local here, so I wouldn't know if the joke is from California or not...🙂😉
What does it mean? Like, when someone takes half an hour just to say five words, or when it takes them forty-five minutes to cross a street, or when you ask them to do something and it takes them two hours... yeah, something like that...😉😉

Amanda Myers3 said:I have little patience for people who are perpetually enraged and constantly complaining; they lack the ability to actually enjoy anything in life...

I also can't stand loud, messy eaters. It's just impossible to be around them.

And then there are those who make nothing but politics their entire personality. 🤣

sounds like you're describing my dad...🤣 🤣Sometimes I just want to pat him on the head and tell him enough is enough—especially when he gets on a roll with all that stuff together...🤣 😂😂

Amanda Sullivan3 said:Guilty as charged. 🙂
I’m definitely one of them—though maybe just on a surface level. So, does anyone want to take a shot at me? Go ahead, throw the first stone!

Well, I guess there's no point... there isn't a single quarry for miles around here... if I admit it, does that count for half credit? hehe

So, here it is... just curious to know what gets under your skin...=
For instance, I can't stand people who are slow, selfish, and greedy all at once... if I see one of those traits, it's bad enough, but when they hit all at once? That's where I draw the line...😂😂😂
What's your pet peeve?

Rebecca Chavez85 said:What if you simply chose to ignore it all?
In any case, don't engage. If you stop giving them a reaction, they'll eventually get bored and move on, believe me.

Look, I am trying to ignore it... but the problem is that this person still has access to my old accounts. They actually changed my password on my messenger, and they had access to my Facebook too, though I managed to get that deleted... it's all such a mess. And honestly, the worst part is I think this person is someone from my own social circle, so if I go back to the police, it’s going to cause a massive scene, and that's the last thing I want...😢

Jesse Carter4 said:Just change the number! Honestly, that’s probably your safest bet!

well, I will eventually... I just want to know who exactly is bothering me first... once I figure that out, I'll definitely change my number...

jadebear72 said:Let’s go over this one more time: do you actually want to be a victim? Someone is blowing up your phone with threats, and what do you and your parents think? That the service provider is going to swoop in and save the day? Like they can just stop one person from threatening you, or magically prevent them from targeting someone else?

The ISP's only job—literally their *only* obligation—is protecting their own network from abuse. They don't have a duty to protect you personally, and they definitely aren't tasked with shielding the entire public from some random individual. Honestly, even if they wanted to, they couldn't.

You need to report this kind of crap to the police immediately. Otherwise, people will start asking why the cops didn't step in sooner. How are they supposed to act if everyone thinks the police should only be called after everything has already gone down, once every other safety net has failed? It’s like going to the doctor or the dentist—you go while it's early enough. Once it's too late, it's too late.

Look, I live in a small town where everybody knows everybody... I just want to handle this without making a huge scene or causing a scandal...

[QUOTE=jadebear72;21499993]You really want to play the victim, don't you? What's stopping you from just being honest with the police or your parents about the psychopath?[/QUOTE

Play the victim?? Give me a break, seriously! If you actually care, older people already know what's going on... and like I said before, I'm going to try talking to the service operator first, and if they don't help, then I'll take it to the police....😉[/QUOTE]

🤣

Dana Hill73 said:Like someone once said, assumptions are the worst kind of bullshit.

so, what was the poet actually getting at there?🤣🤣🤣

Dana Hill73 said:I've seen innocent five-year-olds spitting on and hitting their biological mothers while the mothers just sit there crying. I don't see what's "innocent" or "good" about that. Maybe everyone would be better off if parents occasionally stepped away from being nothing more than a soft, protective cushion.

Oh yeah... I see that all the time...🙄🙄

Christian Wells6 said:There is simply no such thing as a "hidden number" when it comes to legitimate service providers.

Go ahead and contact the police.

I sent a request over to my service provider, so hopefully they actually do something about this...😢😢

Paul Williams5 said:Change the number!

well, I intend to, I just want to figure out who exactly finds me this incredibly boring first...🤣🤣
