I've been diving into Elisabeth again, and a few weeks ago I realized that Heading South has two versions that have a wider contrast than I thought. I guess I always skipped the album version since I heard the single version so much. Which one do yall prefer? I prefer the vocals of the single, but the instruments of the Elisabeth version.

I found this cover of High Road, I thought it was really good so I'm sharing it. She has some other Zach covers too. Great singer.

One thing I've noticed throughout reddit, YouTube, and other social media is that the left doesn't support the death penalty nearly as much as the right does. Typically polls I see done on here about the death penalty tend to be more "anti-death penalty" than "pro-death penalty", and this is generally a leftist platform. However, I also notice a lot of people on the left wishing Trump would die, that Netanyahu would be assassinated, or making fun of Charlie Kirk's death. I am not defending any of the above names, although I think Charlie Kirk was generally a good person, whether or not you agree with him politically. I tend to debate online and I've also had people wish death on me, presumably from the left since I'm more right-leaning. So, if the left generally doesn't support the death penalty (of course there's exceptions), why do they wish death on people or celebrate people's death/future death? Is that hypocritical or justifiable? This is a genuine question.

So, I'm 17m and I have one half brother ~30m, who lives about 600 miles away from us. It's always happened throughout my life - they'd slip up and call me by my brother's name. Annoying, but fine, people make mistakes. He hasn't lived here in years, but sure, fine, I can live with it. Most of the time they would realize their mistake and quickly correct it. Well, now my brother is very likely going to go through a messy divorce and is a main concern of my parents (fair). However, now they keep messing up my name consistently. Tonight, my dad called me the wrong name twice just during dinner. He left to do something, and so I told my mom that it's getting hurtful to be consistently called the wrong name (it happens 5+ times a week, for a month now). Not only the wrong name, but the name of my brother who isn't alike to me, who I do not have a good relationship with, who is 600 miles away and has been for almost 10 years. She was receptive to WHY it hurt but when I told her I wanted it to stop, she said something like "how am I supposed to fix something I'm not doing on purpose?" Well, mother, how hard is it to remember my fucking name? The name of your only son in the state, no less. We left the conversation at a bit of a standoff. She must think it's not a big deal, but to me I'm sick of it. I don't really like my brother due to some of his decisions and I don't want to be associated with him, let alone confused with him. AITA for letting it bother me?

So, I'm becoming a high school senior this year and contemplating what to do after high school. I've planned, for the past couple years, to get a degree in finance. But lately, I've been considering some kind of lawyer. I've always liked the way the law works (the law, not the justice system) and have some basic knowledge, but more than my peers (but obviously, far less than a lawyer). All I can do for now is Google my answers, such as: How much does law school cost? How much do lawyers make? How much do they work? Is law school hard? I don't want to trust google with a life changing decision. I'll be honest, I've seen the median wage of lawyers (via Google) and it said $150k/yearly in the US, and that sounds amazing. But, I don't know if I'm smart enough for law or law school. I have a 3.9 GPA (school maximum is 4.0, we don't have honors classes) and am willing to work if I deem it "worth it". So, to conclude with my questions:

How much did law school cost for you?

What degree did you get prior to law school?

How hard is it to get into law school?

How hard is law school?

How hard is it to be a lawyer?

How much do you make? (I don't need exact numbers, just round it if you don't wanna give out that information)

How smart do you need to be?

Is it worth it? Are you happy?

Just scrolled on this subreddit and it seems like it's everyone giving their age and wanting to chat. Seems dangerous to me. Stay safe everyone! I think I'm following the rules with this post, sorry if I'm not, I don't have my glasses on and reading isn't very easy atm.

I, by no means, am a real poet. Sometimes, late at night, I just need to pour myself into something. This one, if I remember correctly, I wrote at about 2 AM after wondering why we have "the speed of light" but not "speed of night", when the night goes so much quicker than the daytime. I made an image to to along with it as a "poem cover", but it won't let me add that, so... That's unfortunate, because it's my best poem cover yet. I'd love some criticism, so I can get better.

Me and all my good friends 

Stumbling beneath the moonlight 

As time flies by 

At the speed of night

Somewhere I lost it

Somewhere I lost them

Couldn't even fight

Because I'm going the speed of night

I'm feeling so light

In another life I might

Park this car and stare at the sight

But there's no time for stopping, at the speed of night

Driving too fast

This curve might be my last 

Because I'm flying 

At the speed of night

This car seems like it's about to take flight

But the end isn't too far out of sight

The moonlight fades, they're picking up their spades

But they'll never catch me, I'm moving at the speed of night

Laying in a white bed

I can hardly lift my head 

I can only think of the things I should've said

Because I'm dying at the speed of night

All my family is crying

They can see the scythe

But even the Black Suits can only run as I go on by

At the speed of night

I don't have a map

But I know there has to be something past 

The mile marker before the last

And I'll get there at the speed of night

They want all of me

But they'll never get to see 

The sunlight glaring off the sea

Because now I made it to the speed of light, and it's quite alright

I'm a very new investor (started in November at age 16) and have been attempting to navigate through Sandisk and Micron. I have an average cost per share of $1795 and bought a tiny bit more yesterday at $1600. Now, yes, to everyone else I hold hardly anything ($525 total in sandisk), but I'm trying to prove to myself and my parents that I'm smart enough to be a profitable trader. Prior to this past week, I was up 25% overall since November, now I'm up 9%. I'm holding Sandisk, is it the right call?

So, it's 5:04 AM EDT and I'm checking premarket before I go to sleep. It's down another 6% or so. I'm relatively new to the stock market (started in November with $150, now I have about $750 invested with a bit over half in Sandisk) and I've made my mistakes. I bought Micron at $350 but sold too early, I've bought Sandisk at too high of prices. This time, after watching Micron, I decided that I'm going to hold no matter what... It'll go back up eventually, right? Well, this past week I've held. My $avg/share of Sandisk is roughly high 1700s, and I just bought $40 today at $1600. I've been trying to hold on and not panic, but I'm terrified. I'm only 17 and jumped into the markets with very little experience (essentially none other than watching NVDA prices). I'm mostly trying to prove to myself that I can invest smartly and prove my parents wrong (they aren't very keen on me investing). At one point I was nearly up 25% over a few months, now I'm up 9% over the same time frame, not counting today's premarket.

I'll be honest, I'm afraid. I'm scared. I'm clueless. I don't know what I'm doing. I've been doing it well, imo. Definitely could've done better but I've still done well. But if today is another big red day, can I panic yet? Do I sell and cut losses or so I pray to God that Sandisk makes it back to $2000+? I need genuine advice, for now and for future.
