Why YSK: Almost every ad I see on youtube is related to GME, WSB, and making $5,000 per day in hours. That's not how the real world works and it's too good to be true. The truth is that this idea of "getting rich quick" has been perpetuated and given a lot of free press these past few weeks.…
Why YSK: I just remembered this painful story after watching an ad for Pro-Active and felt I had to share. I used to get my eyebrows waxed fairly often. Never had any issues and we made sure to go to a place that used organic products. One day I decided to start using Pro-Active on myself. I don’t…

Why YSK: Many of us college kids got screwed out of the stimulus payments because we were claimed as a dependent in 2019. If you meet the requirements for a stimulus check and were independent in 2020 you can file for a Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2020 tax returns using a 1040/1040-SR tax form.…
Why YSK: There’s a post about plastic cutlery on r/mildlyinteresting [/r/mildlyinteresting] where lots of people are urging others to dispose of it in their recycling. This is really bad advice.

Our…
Why YSK: Manufacturers and sellers like to use lots of vague keywords that make it impossible to search for stuff that matters. Even as a tech literate person I never seem to be able to find what I'm looking for in a laptop on amazon or bestbuy. With a search engine you can enter what you want and…
Why YSK: The story of homelessness is completely different from the side of the unhoused than how it is portrayed in mainstream media. If you haven't heard of it, this channel is a collection of interviews of unhoused people telling their stories of how they became homeless. I don't have any…

Why YSK: I consider loaned money basically lost money because someone can have all the plans in the world to pay you back and then when time comes to collect, they are no where to be seen. I've seen my parents lose tens of thousands of dollars loaning money to family members and never receiving a…
Why YSK: As a career consultant, I have observed that the vast majority of projects that were unsuccessful failed not because of any technical shortcomings, but because of bad expectation management (EM). EM is important for all relationships, not just the client-consultant one. When you are…
Why YSK: Because promising drugs developed and approved in other countries take years to get approved in the US, years some US patients with serious conditions may not have. Many people with conditions like ALS, Multiple Sclerosis or certain cancers who don't see improvements or a slowing of the…
Really all that is needed if they verbally tell you is “that’s awesome!” Or “ good for you”. Even a neutral response of “oh I gotcha” or “oh I didn’t know that” is fine. Most likely if the person wants to share more about their experience they will take the next move verbally and open up a…

Why YSK: I see people getting this wrong a lot, saying things like "If I accept this extra job, I'll bump into a new tax bracket and actually make less money".

Fictional reading in particular is extremely beneficial to all aspects of your life.
