100%. Transitioning from making all decisions for your kids to becoming a trusted advisor is something you need to do intentionally over time. Let your kids make low impact decisions when they’re young. Offer guidance as needed, not all the time. Simple examples include what to have for a meal/snack, where to go for a play date, etc.
IMALlama@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•"I'm socially liberal but fiscally conservative" - What do you think when you hear that?112·18 days ago100%. I want to loudly point out that you saying ‘jailing poor people not isn’t fiscally responsible and doesn’t benefit society, the money would be better spent giving people a better shot at success’ is a great example of social liberal (make society better) and fiscal conservative (don’t spend money on stupid things).
And building credit is useful to set yourself up for future purchases - a condo/house, car, whatever. The whatever here is bigger than it semese, as having a decent credit score can let you finance all kinds of things at a pretty low rate, if not 0% even today. If you’re saving any extra money in an investment/retirement account, and can pay off your 0% financing offers in full by the time you would start to owe interest, financing at 0% is a great deal even if you have the cash on hand to pay outright.
Using old cards is important - if you don’t use them the issuer might close them. I had that happen with my very first credit card. My next oldest account was something like 5 years newer, which at the time was a pretty big gap because I hadn’t yet reached quasi-old-far status.

I don’t think many people realize just how big a jump this was.
I grew up with the OG winamp and was trying to dissociate with the handle that I’ve been using across the web for 25 years, so…

- wrote and directed when nature calls
- cowrote the nutty professor
- wrote including Patch Adams
- wrote Nutty Professor II: The Klumps - wrote and directed Bruce Almighty
- created thumbnation
- executive produced Jimmy Neutron and his studio gave us two Jimmy Neutron movies
IMALlama@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do I get error when try to upload a photo?3·29 days agoWhat’s the error? I had issues trying to upload photos taken on my pixel 3a. They were getting blocked by cloudflare. I traded some messages with an admin and even provided a raw photo. They looked into it, found something, adjusted it, and… still no dice.
I have no issues with my new OnePlus 12. For my 3a, editing the photos in any app, even just to very slightly crop them, would remove whatever was going on.
IMALlama@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What should I go next time to piss this guy off13·1 month agoAgree. They also made a post about getting back and their neighbor for making noises at 5am (early, sure) about an hour ago.
IMALlama@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Buyer's remorse is such a strong taboo that it leads people to defend things in their lives which harm them. Can anything be done to start countering this?1·1 month agoI made a bad choice and it’s time to cut my losses
You’ve received some good replies on this question, but I think there’s also another question at play: an offshoot of identity politics. Many people wrap their personal identity around things. If you question the thing, or put restrictions on it, people take it as an attack on their persona since the thing and their person are so interwoven. You can see this with things like guns, vehicles (motorcycles, car vs truck, auto vs manual, brand x vs brand y), video game consoles, physical media, etc.
IMALlama@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a food that you want to cook but you know you'll never have the motivation to make?2·1 month agoWill do, thanks! I totally get having the tweaks in your head or written into the family recipe book with a pen. Our better homes cookbook has tons of notes/tweaks written into it now.
I am simply advocating for shoes that fit your feet. 99% of shoes tend to pretend like your longest toe is your middle toe. I’ve always found this weird.

It sounds good / I’m thinking about giving them a go. If you find a better recipe let me know.
IMALlama@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a food that you want to cook but you know you'll never have the motivation to make?5·1 month agoIt could easily be a family recipe. It looks like riffs on this theme are pretty common. Maybe it was a Hungarian recipe? Sounds like a great mystery!
IMALlama@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a sign that someone's *Slightly* NOT majorly, not like a whole level above. Just slightly more financially successful than you.3·1 month agoOP already replied, but the answer was super brief: they invest in their future. I don’t know what that looks like for them, but for us it means funding an emergency fund plus 401ks, IRAs, and college funds for our kids. Even if you’re not able to set aside a ton, the more money you can invest when you’re young the better off you’ll be thanks to the power of compounding.
If you’re lucky enough to advance your career put the extra money into your emergency fund and/or investments - you won’t miss it.
If you’re in debt, try to target one loan to pay off. Once you pay off that single loan keep paying that amount towards your next loan. Repeat until necessary. For example, after we paid off our car we put what used to be our old payment as extra $$ for our mortgage.

IMALlama@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Curious why they tried to send a file from a windows machine via IMessage6·2 months agoAgree. The default download location on iOS and padOS is iCloud and it’s pretty clear that Microsoft is chasing Apple’s monetization model.
No problem! That list will contain active headphones that have an onboard DAC, so they look like a USB audio device to whatever you plug them into.
10/10 explanation. I would add two things.
First, there is a massive amount of variation in “normal” people. I’m personally of the belief that we spend too much time classifying people and that can set unreasonable expectations. Just because someone was/wasn’t diagnosed as <x> does not mean they will neatly fit in that box.
Second, there are cultural norms and elements that interplay here. I am a New Englander living in the Midwest. I consider my communication style to be direct and frank, which means that I try to objectively say things as they are. I grew up being interacted with this way. This style of communication is somewhat contrary to the norms of the Midwest, which can result in people interpreting me as being confrontational and lacking empathy.
