[mybrainsrottingwithmcd]

“Aroaces can still date/have sex” do you non-aspecs actually understand and respect that or do you just want an excuse to ship canonically aroace characters?

#Because the way most of you talk I can never tell #ive had a few online spats with people about this #and im in a mood #so #like this aint mcd related #BUT YET SOMEHOW #SOMEWAY #DONT WORRY ABOUT IT #anyways #aroace #asexual #aromantic

hm. since youve already been asked abt aarmau what abt the other big 2 canon ships? (travlyn and zane~chan)

ooh ok and since this will be the first post, i will cleify that im going to focus on the series the relationship is most prevelant or healthy (ex. malachi and yip [im pretty sure yip only exists in mcd] and zane and kawaiichan [ would be horrible in mcd]. i hope that made sense and here i go :) ....

Travlyn 7/10 [Mystreet]

I do really enjoy Travlyn. They are both some of my favourite characters, but more specifically Travis and seeing them together makes me happy. They are not as high however because of Katelyn. I get the jokes is that Travis is a pervert and the anime trope is him getting hit for it but its really pretty nasty. Katelyn smacks the shit out of Travis and didnt she like push him off of a damn building ?? Aside from the constant hitting, Travlyn has a lot of potential and Id like to see where they can go from where they’re at. :)

HeadCannons : Katelyn is defo taller than Travis by a lot like a lot a lot Travis little spoons when cuddling. Whenever Katelyn is working on say a show or play, Travis always tries to pamper her when she gets real stressed. Both big ‘ol nerds

Favourite Moment : My favourite moment between the two of them would have to be their little kiss at the end of When Angels Fall. Katelyn worrying over him and then Travis flirting and being his usual self is swest to see and its followed by this cute moment :)

Zane Chan 9/10 [Mystreet cuz MCD would be gross]

my comfort couple <3 idk why but I just adore Zane and KC. Ive always really related to and resonated with Zane and KC was honestly my favourite girl and seeing them get together at first, like many other people, was shocked but upon seeing all their interractions I really liked them. They do lose points for the whole Garroth situation and the whole “Shipping Real People Thing from KC” though. Seeing KC calm down and seeing her get like development made me really happy and Zane open up and be happy in a relationship just ... aghhh i love them.

HeadCanons : They are the same size like they can and would swap clothes A more specific headcanon but KC is pan and i still dont know what i HC Zane as but we all know he aint cishet. KC teaches Zane how to bake some of her recipes :) Share the same music taste

Favourite Moment : All of season 5. Im kidding (not really) but to be more specific my favourite moment between the two of them would probably be when they run into Zianna that first time. Its cute seeing Zane get so flustered and stressed and KC is always cute. <3 comfort

Robin Hood

I’m tired of people saying they do not have money to invest. You have money to invest, you just refuse to accept it. Obviously if you have no job, live on the street, you do not.

But, if you work, go to taco bell, buy an eighth a week, stay up all night with your best buds playing video games, and have a bank account balance of 36.33$... 24.10$** (Netflix auto pay) You got enough to invest. Invest 15-30$ a week. It will grow. 

“Alan, what if a company stock looses value, than I’m fucked!” Not necessarily. 

Yes it is true, if you put a ton of money into a company and they disappear, you are up shits creek. But you do not have to do something so illogical and stupid like that. I want you to bookmark 2 pages ... Investopedia and Streetinsider.

The first page is an encyclopedia of anything finance/investing related. Im going to use a lot of words that you might not know, it is not my job to tell you what they mean all the time. Learn to be resourceful. Kids used to have to go to the library, shit, humans used to have to DIE to learn. We live in a cushioned world now. I’m in my Pjs, on my couch with my phone, laptop and a few books on the table. Im comfortably reading articles on the Wall Street Journal website, graphs on different stocks and dividend payment histories, trying to make an educated decision on what stocks I will buy monday morning.

By the way, street insider is a good website to check dividend history.

Whats a dividend? Ill break my “aint my job” rule already, it is a sort of “reward” the company pays the stock holder for holding said stock. How often do they pay? Usually monthly, quarterly or I believe annually. I don't know everything, in fact I don't know much at all. 

So how much do they pay you ask? Depends on the type of company, price of the stock and other factors. Like I said, type in Dividend on investopedia it will give you an entire breakdown and you can go down a rabbit hole of terms you don't know. Trust me.

I will give you an example of a personal stock I own and show you their earnings. 

Ticker symbol MCD: McDonalds

January 2018: stock of McDonalds would have costly you roughly 166.00

In that year, the Face Value (market price of the stock) went to 176ish (Now its like 203). That year they payed each stock holder for each stock 1$ for three quarters and 1.16$ the last quarter of 2018. 

So theoretically, for putting a 166.00 in the beginning of 2018, you made 10 bucks on the face value (but that doesn't matter at the moment because you did not sell it) and they payed you 4.16$ that year for holding it. 

Big deal fuck head, right? Wrong. 

You got 4.16$ for nothing. For “holding” a stock? Risking 166$ for a company that has been paying dividends for a consecutive 45 years straight. If you had McDonalds stocks in the 90s, you would have been set now. Now that 4.16$... should you buy some gum? maybe 2 gallons of gas for your car? 

Naw, let it “Compound”. It is a term basically meaning you let your money work for you, by buying more stocks. Now, imagine if you had 100 stocks of McDonalds... 416.00 annually/104 quarterly reinvested to buy 3 more McDonalds or other stocks. Thats money you did not have before. By the way, McDonalds is a super power, they will continue to make money as you get older, and the stock will appreciate. We can only hope that is.

McDonalds is not the only stock that pays dividends, in fact theoretically, if you bought lets say 166$ of STAG a REIT (Real estate investment trust) it would have given you about 5 shares, making you .50-.55 cents monthly amounting to about 6$ annually. Go read about REITs, they are very fruitful because they pay their shareholders 90% of their earnings. 

You might be saying, well dude I don't have 20,000$ and stuff like well bruh 20,000 investment and Im only getting 6-700$ a year? Sure. You could lets say open a food cart with that money and make more money, but will you? Will you do anything but work the same job, hang out with friends, play video games and smoke weed? I hope you will do something else, but how I see a lot of people ages 18-25 maybe even 30, no they don't do anything else. They spend hundreds of thousands on bullshit they're whole lives and who knows what will happen when no one is there to wipe their ass at 80.

This long rant is not about what stock to buy, it is not stating that you need 20,000$, 166$, and dividends are not the only way to make money in the stock market. This is purely to get you thinking. This rant is about how you should start investing small amounts, and the most friendly brokerage system for broke kids starting out or sitting in college dorms is Robinhood. 

Im going to post my link for my RobinHood referral, giving us both a free stock if you join. I like how Im speaking to a hypothetical audience and I believe no one is even reading this, but in the case that you are:

One of the most successful investors in the world is Warren Buffet. You might have heard of him, maybe not. Old white dude, is worth gazillions. The man prides his education on books and reading. I think it is said he doesn't have a computer or some shit. Listening to him on youtube is all fine and dandy, but I suggest you take his advice and READ. It is so simple! Read, google will give you all the definitions. Just read! Work and READ. I guarantee if you are not happy because you cannot find a job that pays well, and you are just constantly wasting your time doing other things. Just read. Google what books to read for beginning investors, go on investopedia and check out there investing 101 stuff. Just read guys it is honestly that easy. It makes you smart, resourceful and if you are ugly maybe it will help you get laid.

And open the account, I want the free stock.

Dont buy anything dumb yet, maybe read on in my tumbr to get ideas but honestly the amount of free information out there is incredible. Wallstreet journal is great. they cost 1$ for the first 15 weeks if you are a student and there is another deal for non students. But honestly, unless you NEED to know like me, just go download free book PDFs like the Intelligent Investor and other good reads suggested by the internet. Reading is free. It is powerful and you should be grateful you have the ability to do so. Not everyone is so fortunate.
