Video in question

What she says is that she got equity in the divorce, but when she graduates school, she has to refinance and then pay the equity back.

I need somebody who understands finance to help me answer these questions. Is what she is saying that she got the equity at the time divorce, then when she graduates school, she takes out a loan and uses that loan to pay the equity back to the ex-husband?

The second question: if the above is the case, and in the context of the video, if she doesn’t think he will live that long, Why would she want to forgo the alimony then?

I mean, she isn’t getting the alimony right now, but she has the equity in the house which it sounds like she got that already, if he dies early well then she just basically keeps the equity so I’m not sure why she wants to Make the change she wants to make.

I’m not looking for the emotional answers of she’s a money grabber or a horrible person or any of those sorts of answers. Because that’s not what I’m asking.

What I’m trying to understand is the financial piece of it.

Because she said she would be willing to forgo the alimony if she could just have the equity now. But it sounds like she she’s already got the equity so I’m really confused.

Can someone watch that video and try to help me understand what financial benefit she’s going after?

First : sorry you are going through this.

Second : yes most guys won't get the support they need. It sucks.

Third : yes you have shitty people around you

The people who you thought were your friends aren't. Forget about them. Forget they exist. They aren't worth your time.

Figure out what you like to do and join a club or group and move forward. Not just get over it. In that new group look for support there. Look for better friends there.

I don’t mean singing in a foreign language, I mean if they aren’t enunciating their words.

There is a style of singing where the singer rolls one word into the next word, or just cuts a word off. I find it distracting and I tend to skip the song very quickly when I realize what they are doing.

While it is a popular way to sing, I have never enjoyed it. I heard some of it in the 1980s but it wasn’t widely used. Today I find a lot more singers doing it.

There is no way to play out a full story by splitting the screen time for 3 stories. Even splitting it for 2 stories is not a good idea. By splitting the time that many ways it’s basically impossible to really flesh out a story and add depth. In a one hour episode you really only get 40 minutes of air time. If you split that for two stories you get 20 minutes of screen time to tell a story. 3 ways? Yeah now you are just wasting a show. You only get 13 minutes to tell a story.

Combine the above with the fact that we have less and less episodes per season, and This creates a real problem to tell a story of any sort

If you don’t tell the people why you are leaving, they don’t know what is going on. And this applies to businesses it applies to stores it applies to companies. It even applies to social media accounts. It even applies to your friends and family.

If you tell people why you are leaving, at least they can make a decision if they want to change or not. If the company or whatever is seeing less people coming in, but nobody will say why they’re leaving. How can they make the change?

There’s no realistic way that a manager or a host or the owner of a business or whatever could realistically ask every single person who comes through the door hey are you happy? Are you coming back? Is there anything we should change? That’s not real.

If you aren’t happy and you don’t say what is making you unhappy. Then that’s on you.

Not the business or the social media site or whatever.

They can’t read minds.

For example I'll send an e-mail with 3 questions and will only get an answer to one of the questions. It's worse when there are 2 yes/no questions with a question that is obviously not a yes/no question. Then I get a response of

Yes

back in the e-mail. So which question are they answering?

Mainly I'm asking all of you why do people insist on only answering 1 question out of an e-mail where there are multiple? Do people just not read? Are people that lazy? What is going on?

Edit at this point I’ve got the answers . Some are too lazy to actually read. Some admit they get focused on one item and forget to go back. I understand the second group. The first group yeah no excuse there.

Continuing edit: there are comments where people have tried the bullet points and they say it still doesn’t help. I might put the needed questions in red.

Nachos suck. (lemmy.world)

You go to lift up a chip and most of the stuff (toppings) is left on the tray.

Try to scoop anything up and you get so little that it’s more headache then it’s worth.

Not saying they shouldn’t exist, just I would never order them.

The simple answer is "REFUSE TO BUY THE SHIT!"

It is literally that simple. I can't think of a single person that HAS to buy a NEW car. Keep what you have or buy used. Tell the dealerships and auto makers to fuck off! Explain why a person ever has to buy a NEW car.

As long as people are stupid and buy it the auto makers WILL continue on this path.

Work hard, show up and you will get a pay raise, you will get promoted.

Yeah no didn’t work that way.

You want a pay raise, find a new job.
