First day of classes

So I started my first days of college.

I'm staying at home and going to the local community college. It was actually my first choice. In the end I get a good 4 year education by transferring and I save a lot of money. So yeah, community college is good.

But I only have one class on Mondays which is a basic required course. I zoned out during it since it was basic syllabus stuff.

But I wouldn't blog about that. So I'm waiting around an hour for a ride home and decide to hang in the cafeteria. I see a bunch of nerdy looking guys sitting at a table with a card binder open. I'm interested as I've been wanting to get into some sort of college Magic scene so I stealthily take a peak. It's YuGiOh cards. I'm going "ABORT MISSION" in my mind and sit in the table behind them. I already scoped this group out to be some sort of power nerd group that I don't like associating with. I mean I'm very nerdy, but this is like neckbeards. I find them annoying. But entertaining to eavesdrop on. So I go to the table behind them, crack open my laptop, and boot up Puzzle Quest 2. Not much better than what they're doing but whatever.

So overhearing their conversation on trading YuGiOh cards and jerking off over Pokemon and Kingdom Hearts. Like I literally felt like turning around and saying "Guild McCommunist says get the fuck off GBAtemp". But yeah. Like they were talking about some of the dumb shit videos I saw months ago. Neckbeards are very behind the curve.

The moral of this story though is to judge books by their covers because the fat obnoxious ones usually look fat and obnoxious.

EDIT: If you just so happened to see a tall bearded man pass by you in the cafeteria at a community college who sat down and played Puzzle Quest 2 on their laptop then get the fuck off.

Who likes neckbeards? They're internet scum. I bet they were bronies too.
 
I still find hipsters more disturbing. But then, I'm more of a otaku geek anyhow.

Urgh. Just realised my favourite musical of all time is based on baby hipsters. Urgh.

Lemme guess, Repo! The Genetic Opera?

I didn't see any hipsters though. I'm generally scouting for people who are similar to me and hipsters are not one of them.

My TV class should be a bit more fruitful.
 
when i go to university it shouldn't be to hard to find friends/people to hang out with since i'm going to do a programming course and some of them won't be completely up themselves.

Nope, Rent. (I'm a giant Rent fan...)

It's easy enough to make friends on campus, but I tend to hang out with the geeks/otakus. Anyhow...

I just have a very particular interest in friends. I don't think there's many people that could measure up to my friends in highschool and we're still in contact. I can't stand otakus and I can't stand powernerds either. I want to meet people like me, which I guess there aren't many of. I'm nerdy but not powernerdy. I can't stand otakus, emos, the general groups that nerds fit in to.
 
I dunno, much of my friends are pretty tolerable - I can't stand the "party girls", mostly.

*sigh*

    Ken - good score or bad?
  • cearp @ cearp:
    / going to be making use of it any time soon?

    Credit scores are weird but -- like you say, if you're not using it -- not using credit -- that's "bad" for your score
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Trying to improve it at 645
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yet equafax is 678
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You need to show you can use credit / borrow money and pay it back to get a good score.

    Some people think that means paying interest -- that is NOT correct.
    For example, some think you need to "carry a balance" on your credit cards, and that if you pay the whole bill at once, that's bad.
    Not true at all. If you can, perfectly fine to pay your card statement in full.

    If you want your score to go up, don't close any credit cards - keep them all open as closing an account reduces your average age of credit account, which is bad.

    Also how the algorithms work, if you have multiple cards, have the final monthly balance reported on them be 0 (as in pay off early so nothing charged to you in your bill) on all but one card. So only let one card have a balance that's reported to the agencies.

    And keep your credit utilization below 30% - so if you're allowed to access $10,000 of credit, don't go above $3,000 or that looks bad.

    645 isn't a bad score but sure can be better. If there are any bad marks on your history, I've seen some people successfully get these removed by asking
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    One friend is like 550 I'm like how lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Thing is we get so comfortable living we don't really have anything else we want to buy until something happens to said expensive item and then you gotta take another loan to replace that
  • cearp @ cearp:
    I did a secure loan once to build credit - worked well, specifically did a trick where the loan balance was kept at like 3% for 5 years. As having a loan basically paid off is good for your credit score.
    So took out the (small) loan, paid 95% off immediately lol, then paid $2 a month for a few years.
    Not every bank / credit union let you do that, and even the ones that do might think your behavior is weird lol :D
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Over time secured loans can get you free shit if you're smart about payments the money essentially goes back to you
  • cearp @ cearp:
    Paid like $100-150 or so in interest in total over those 5 years in return for a good bump of my credit score, worth it for me.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Say I want a $600 console I can save $100 per month while paying myself back within 6 months
  • cearp @ cearp:
    Once your credit score is good enough you'll get approved for "good" credit cards, then get benefits with them :) I don't make the most of my benefits, some people truly min/max the whole thing and get enough points for free flights + hotel etc... Takes time though, I'm not that serious about it.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    At a business perspective they can max at 20k within a month
  • cearp @ cearp:
    Once you get to about 750 you're fine -- I don't believe you get a better rate for car loans / mortgages if you have a score of 820 vs 750.
  • cearp @ cearp:
    Oh yeah if you have a business, or even just travel a lot for work, that will get you a ton of points lol
    As many companies get you to book your own travel then reimburse you
  • cearp @ cearp:
    Anyway - speaking of work, I need to get back to work :D Have a good day Ken + all other users
