| It's ok. Don't panic. It's better than having student loan debt. I'm 21 and have $16,000. I have a friend who has over 40,000. You're cool. Isn't Student debt a bit different though? Firstly, you don't have to repay until you earn over "x" amount. Further, you (theoretically) have access to higher ... |

| For the record, I'm "neurotypical" Do you find yourself walking at a pace beyond most others? Do you get utterly pissed off when there is no other path past a clot of slow moving of pedestrian traffic that invariably forms in any popular/small space? Ever since I was young, I've been pissed off by s... |

| Hey, I'm £4000 in debt. It's it the form of a £2800 Overdraft and a £750 loan. With interest and fees, the amount is £4000. I earn enough to cover it but only just. I've done a projection using excel and found that I'm due to be out of debt by July/August 2013 assuming I stick to my tight budget an... |

| I borrowed a lot of money years ago to help fend off an unfriendly takeover of a company. I ended up being something like the fourth largest stockholder in the company. In the end, the company went under anyway and I lost everything I had in it. It took me several years at a regular job to pay off ... |

Hey,
Done a 10 hour night shift last night, came home, had a few ales (only 5), ran out of booze, need to be at a friends in 4 hours (18:00) then have another 10 hour night shift at 22:00 tonight.
How can I live until the end of said night shift? |

| Hey, I used to love Firefox. For so long it was easily the best browser and I loved how robust it used to be. The last few builds have been awful though, especially the latest - in the sense that it keeps freezing, has significant issues with Flash and Java, among other deal-breaking issues. It's no... |

| It's just one of those petty unresolved conflicts from my childhood that always pissed me off. Why call it red? People dye their hair actually red nowadays, and they say "oh I've dyed my hair red now" but the copper head ginger next to them is still a "red head". By the way, I don't have red hair, m... |

| Seriously, what is with people? Am I just color blind or is what is generally known as "red hair" blatantly Orange? I lived the first decade or so of my life perplexed by this colloquialism - but It still irks me when I see a blatant ginger called "red head". It's ORANGE? Get the Dulux Color chart o... |
