Yeah, you have to pay your credit card bill.

It's not over yet. Capitol one is clearly not on your side, but call Visa or MasterCard depending on who services your card and contest the charge. If you did not get anything, you have a really good shot of getting your money back. Once that is done, cut up your card. Capitol one is an awful bank to deal with.

I am confused as to what the debt's legitimacy is. I heard something about automatic billing and diet pills. If you think it is a scam, don't pay. Call VISA or MasterCard to get this settled if they already took money from you as it sounds like it is on a credit card. Your bank can also be of assistance.

When the photos came back from Pluto, I managed to catch the seminar from one of the project leaders. It was mostly on the chemistry aspects of the mission and I don't remember much, except for the heart shaped plain of nitrogen ice. Very impressive and a bit unexpected considering it is not blue, haha.

This is false. Besides the fact that women can kick men's ass, just that women are forced to play by a different set of rules; hrt must be ongoing for a year to compete and by that time, there have been significant changes. There is no problem there, same as the bathroom shit. Also, the sexual harassment protections are actually being stripped away by our awful secretary of education, worst ever in my opinion. It's obvious Trump is making a direct attack on the LGBT community to make his uneducated base feel safer while at the same time empowering white males. Betsy Devos is setting the tone and it is no surprise a rapist went free again. Kind of off topic but related since it was stated women were also being marginalized. True, but not because of trans women.

This is a wonderful story. Well thought out and very cute. Thank you.

No, you complete your bachelors, study like made for the GRE, then apply for graduate school. Graduate school is pretty much only for a PhD. Most universities don't offer a Master's degree program. Typically a masters is obtained on the way to the completion of a PhD or when you fail to get your PhD. Some departments offer a three year program where you obtain a bachelors and a masters together, but that is on a different level than a PhD. To get your PhD, there are typically three major exams, your second year exam, your thesis proposal, and finally, your thesis defense, all of which is done in front of your thesis committee. The first one is the toughest, but it gets easier especially if you know your stuff. If you are ready, the defense is actually the easiest, but it takes time to get there. The whole thing takes 4-6 years depending on how disciplined and how much time you can allocate to your research, but only the first 2-3 years are you taking courses, and only 1-2 at a time. Most of what makes up a PhD is time spent in research with your professor. It is a job and you are employed by the university as a research assistant, but it is a fun job if you enjoy research and working with your professor.

I second this. Start at a community college to further cut costs. Also, try to pay without student loans by working a job or running a business while you are doing this. FYI, you can also make your own business. It takes work, but not anymore work than school. Physics is good. I'm an expert in that area myself, but my field of study was something else. Unfortunately Bettypooh, in physics, you have to get a BS as an associates is only good for transfers to a university and not much else, so skip the lower degree if you want to work in your field. If you go for a PhD though, you won't accrue any tuition bills. They don't cost money in the physics and engineering disciplines since you get tuition payed+stipend when you work as a TA or RA, only costs 4-5 years of your life, but if you enjoy research, it will be the best 4-5 years of your life.

That is very well put. Could not have said it better myself.

Yes it is as long as it is a testable hypothesis. If it is not testable, if it cannot be measured, then it is a philosophy question and evidence is either irrelevant or non existent. Of course, that is not to say that you can always be right even if it is testable.

You realize that you would have at max a few hundred thousand dollars after taxes and charity. A million dollars is not that much. Feds take 40%

Pay off mortgage and invest the rest, but I never waste money on the tickets. Statistically speaking, most people go bankrupt after winning the lotto anyways.

You can flip that stuff on eBay or similar websites. On eBay's site, you can look up sale statistics for any particular item. Overtime, you will learn what sells and how to sell it. You could easily make an extra $1000 a week. When you get to that point, you'll probably want to report it as an LLC, but till then you will not have to report it as income. That said depending on your county's rules, having an LLC is often a neat way to say you are employed, but not making much yet, so you could qualify for more assistance, like daycare and food stamps. But once you are successful in your business, obviously, you won't need them anymore.

Well, what works is something you enjoy, but won't also have to report as income. Do you like going to garage/yard sales or thrift stores?

So you are not doing financially well then? I understand the welfare system and it is very limiting and frustrating. It is a stop-gap measure, nothing more, don't fool yourself into thinking otherwise. I don't know your situation, but believe me when I say the government is going to fuck you over the longer they support you. All it takes is one misplaced piece of paperwork that they lost, and you can lose it. So please, for your own benefit, think about how to raise your income in the long term.

Hmmm, never seen those words together in a sentence before. Have you thought about starting your own business. If your doing well financially, then you should be able to do it at your own pace till you get things going. About the original topic, living with your parents is alright if you are going through a crisis, but once you are back on your feet, you should get back out there. I am not one of those helicopter parents that likes to control them when there that age by making all kinds of rules, because that would mean I already failed as a parent. By the age of 18, my children should be able to make responsible choices without me telling them what to do. I know that might sound silly, but it's true. On the other hand, I know what freeloading looks like too, but dealing with that situation is not as easy as it sounds, hope I never have to.

I'm not a fan of Facebook, but I have the same issue with banks. I say don't sweat it unless your Facebook account is part of your business.

Have something valuable to say and say it with confidence. People will like you more if you do, so start reading.

Hehe, for the op, maybe freewill cannot be obtained by thinking about it this much, because with all this philosophizing, you will have no time for any thing else in your mind. I'd say you have psyched yourself out, but that message is probably not going to get through by the time I check on this thread in a few days. After all, it's just a thought, which has no value, because no action can come of it.

I think the most nauseating thing with this thread is the use of religion as a cop-out. Miracle cures are great and science doesn't have all the answers because it is science; however, if you investigate and really leave your preconceived notions at the door, with time you can find an answer.

This is irrational and an Occam's Razor violation. You have no evidence, only an observation. Therefore, you cannot say that Oliver d is rejecting evidence when all you got is an observation. I can believe the author's account to the fullest extent that I can, but obviously there is no evidence that a god did anything.

Everyone settle down and realize this is a stupid tabloid magazine. Also, everyone realize we already have police oversight like this in the US in the form of cameras everywhere. Personally, I think the idea is pretty smart for weather, disaster, conflict, and mapping applications.

I hated Facebook anyway, because it is a serious time waster.

I think many abdls on here don't get relationship dynamics. They are hard. Abdls vary too and it is great to find a mommy that complements your interests in diapers, but none of that matters if you can't be compatible in a relationship. Awhile back when I was dating, I looked for people with an interest in BDSM who were also dominant, because I also had interests in BDSM as well. I did not look on any dating websites though.

The hardest part of that job is getting the transmission back in with the splines properly aligned. Of course, I had a bad transmission jack and a fwd vehicle, so I sort of made it the hardest part. Other than that though, it was quite fun.
