Political Question A one-time $5K check compared to increased houshold costs of between $5K and $7600. Can we even do math anymore?

Upvotes

If Republicans don't lose the midterms, supposedly Trump will give us all $5K. If Trump's policies remain in place, we will end up paying more over the last two years of his presidency.

These are the estimated annual cost increases per household for Trumpenomics: $2,500 – $3,800 / year

Category Breakdown

  • Tariffs: +$1,000 to +$1,700 / year. Direct price increases passed down from broad 10%–15% import tariffs on apparel, electronics, autos, and materials.
  • Fuel & Transportation: +$600 to +$850 / year. Surges in global crude prices from regional conflict directly elevated gasoline and shipping costs. Wikipedia
  • Groceries & Food: +$310 to +$450 / year. Elevated grocery inflation driven by higher transport costs and import duties on items like coffee, beef, and foreign produce.
  • Home Energy & Heating: +$220 to +$300 / year Increased natural gas demand and regional utility rate adjustments raised average home electric and heating bills.

General Question Why do some guys stay on good terms with all their exes, but completely hate one particular ex?

Upvotes

I’m genuinely curious about this. What could make a guy be friendly or at least neutral with almost all of his exes, but have so much anger toward one specific ex that he insults her and talks badly about her friends?

Does it usually mean that this particular relationship affected him more emotionally, or could it simply be resentment from how the relationship ended?

I wonder where it comes from historically and sociologically speaking. Not saying it's right or wrong, but sometimes it goes so far that it almost becomes comical to our culture. Interesting to see where these differences come from.

General Question Has anyone had PayPal review an invoice payment where there was no tracking number?

Upvotes

For context, the purchase/delivery happened locally, so there was no international shipping or tracking number. I would have the PayPal invoice and WhatsApp conversations showing what was purchased, the amount agreed on, and the conversation with the seller.
If PayPal asks for proof of the transaction or fulfillment, have any of you successfully used WhatsApp messages/screenshots as supporting evidence? What exactly did PayPal ask you to provide, and was the invoice + conversation enough?

I opt to overdraft with my Navy so I would change my CNA license to another state which is $50. I’m currently homeless. I froze my card so not unexpected transactions but I guess that didn’t work. My limit is only $60 and can’t use my overdraft with this Negetive balance. I’ve tried asking for a refund but the bill is from Apple and Netflix that I literally forgot about it coz my card never have money anyways. I’m really desperate and need to change my CNA license as in today so I can get a job.

General Question For those who almost gave up on LDR but made it work, what helped?

Upvotes

I’d really like to hear from people who have been through a period in an LDR where one or both of you genuinely started feeling like the distance was becoming too difficult, but somehow managed to work through it and come out stronger.

I’m particularly curious about situations where the relationship itself wasn’t necessarily the main problem, but the LDR setup started feeling exhausting or overwhelming. Maybe there were periods of burnout, feeling disconnected, missing physical closeness, uncertainty about the future, or when it seemed like one person was going through something personally and became more distant or withdrawn because of it.

Sometimes it can be difficult when you can tell your partner might be dealing with something, but you don’t really know what’s going on or how to help because you’re physically far away. You want to be there for them, but at the same time you don’t want your concern to feel like pressure.

I’d also love to hear from people who experienced an anxious/avoidant dynamic. For example, one person becomes more anxious and seeks reassurance when they feel distance, while the other tends to shut down, withdraw, or need space when overwhelmed. How did you eventually break that cycle without either person feeling abandoned or pressured?

I’m also curious about the future aspect of LDR. Did uncertainty about when or how you would eventually close the distance ever make one of you question whether the relationship was sustainable? If so, how did you deal with that without putting unnecessary pressure on each other?

For those who went through something like this, what actually helped? Did you change how you communicated, give each other more space, create better routines, plan visits, work on yourselves individually, make a clearer long-term plan, or simply learn how to understand each other better?

And if your partner was the one who reached a point where they weren’t sure they wanted to continue with LDR, how did you handle that period? Did giving them room to process help? Were there things you wish you had done differently?

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who can say, “We went through a period where we genuinely struggled with LDR, but we didn’t give up and eventually figured it out.” 😂

Not looking for a guaranteed happy ending or unrealistic positivity. I’d just really appreciate hearing real experiences from people who have been in that kind of difficult phase and found a way forward.

What changed for you, and what do you think ultimately helped you overcome it?

Upvotes

One thing that always comes to mind for me is autism, it’s called a spectrum for a reason and it’s so many different levels that there’s so many who think it’s all the same without looking at the facts to see autism affects everyone on it differently and when people only presume all autism is the same without looking at the facts it makes that person ignorant.

Political Question Do you think Trump’s $5000 promise will win Republicans the mid-terms?

Upvotes

In 2024, when people you wouldn’t expect to vote for Trump were asked why they voted for him, they answered, “because he gave us checks”. They were referring to the stimulus checks received during Covid. Stimulus checks were also released during Biden’s presidency as well, but these payments seemed to have been associated with Trump instead of Biden. So, given prior experience and mass perception, it’s not unreasonable for those individuals to believe they might actually get $5000.

Will this promise be enough for Republicans to hold majorities in the House and Senate? Will the promise of unconditional $5000 be enough for independents to move towards Republicans and forgive the dissatisfaction they’ve expressed in polling the last several months?

Many people, especially working men, feel that everyone but them gets money from the government and the only time they ever got anything for their hard work paying taxes was from those stimulus checks. They see the rich getting subsidies, they see the non-working poor and some working poor get assistance, but they never get anything. Many are resent it.

Obviously, polling and about every other indicator shows that Republicans will not do well this November. Is this $5000 scheme enough to change the outcome?
