Treat trading like you would a casino. You can put a little bit in as a treat, but that is part of your entertainment money, not your investment money.

Index funds (or mutual funds) like everyone else said. If you are in the US you can buy some U.S. Series I savings bonds as your semi-emergency savings (after 1 year you can take it out freely outside of a 3 month interest penalty, takes a week to cash out so it's fine for most emergency things). Do not just leave it in a savings account.

What are your grades reflecting when you stop studying once you feel like you get it?

I generally stopped studying once I felt like I had it and did okay.

That's cool but I would feel way too vulnerable in that thing. I need a door within sight so I can be prepared in case a zombie appears or something.

I like the Japanese style ones where the entire bathroom is the shower. The floor is meant to be wet with the benefit of just being able to spray the entire bathroom down when it needs cleaning.

This one just makes no sense.

I don't know anything about fashion but joined anyway.

It needs to be understood that the culture before this happened was very different than it is now.

The mods basically owned their subreddits. Mods could do anything they wanted. You could ban someone for the color of their socks. You had full control of the CSS coding and functionality of your subreddit, so you could make it look like dogshit for the laughs and ban anyone who typed the letter L. Some subreddits got popular just for being weird like this. Whatever you wanted to do, it didn't matter. If you didn't like how a subreddit was ran you just made your own. If you made a subreddit then that was the corner of your internet to do whatever you wanted with. That was the tradeoff. You got a space in return for creating it. You didn't even need to moderate it.

After the mods got removed from their subreddits for protesting it became very clear that the subreddits were not theirs anymore. It was the first time reddit ever took actions against moderators for something that wasn't blatantly illegal.

For me it was the removal of being able to see comment history, especially at this time while spam bots are flooding the site. I have no idea if any post at all on Reddit is authentic anymore if the post history is hidden. It made me just not want to engage with anything.

Showing up on search results is the main advantage it has for drawing in new users. If the fediverse could show up higher in search results it'd get much more traffic.

My point was that showering with other girls did nothing to improve her body positivity like OP suggested, not that it caused her to be so negative.

We didn't have time to shower. Our under garments always stayed on. Not a single person ever showered.

Edit: Anecdotal, but my mom grew up in the same decade as you, but she's the most body negative person I know. She even harps on people just for not wearing a bra.
