I think this is an approach that works well in some markets. But in others (where Air BnB or low vacancy rates bring dollar signs to a landlord’s eyes) even a super handy, pleasant tenant is going to find themselves on the short end of a negotiation. I wish you were my neighbor, though, because it sounds like you are…

No way, suplex that nerd.

The only thing worse than people helicopter parenting their kids is when they start helicopter parenting mine.

As a Dad, this really bothers me on a visceral level. Who WOULDN’T want to spend time with your kid?!? He’s YOUR KID. This will definitely impact them since “Dad doesn’t seem to care” which in turn will influence their parenting style which perpetuates this indifference.

I know a lot of differnt type physicians, nurses and other people in health care. ALL of them have PCPs because they’re smart enough to know that they don’t know everything not allowed to fill their own prescriptions.

I do appreciate the advice. But lowering myself to “bro out” and pretend that I’m auditioning for some Culture Fit just to gain their approval is the exact opposite of what anyone should do. SV is already too much of a mirrortocracy, and I don’t like rewarding bad trends. It’s also sort of a moot point because we have…

Does he have any advice when your intimidation is 99% based on being large, black, and male? I’ve always felt the need to smile and soften my voice so much that people can probably pick my teeth out of a lineup.

(Woman in engineering) For better or worse, one of my mentors in college strongly impressed on us (female engineering students) that we should never EVER volunteer to do admin/office management tasks once we started working as it would blur the lines on our actual job duties and reinforce the idea that women do office…

Outside of Maron and Rogan, I have no time for more podcasts...

People who survived tend to have survived.

Nice how they painted the trees. It was a sorry sight when they were all grey and possibly unable to photosynthesize.

If we’re going to be ruthlessly efficient about this like he wants, just develop a cultural norm where all the incels ship off to their own little island. Then they can’t kill any women. Problem solved.

I spent half my childhood living in a trailer park. The other half in a small house in SMALL rural town. Adjusted for inflation, my starting salary ten years ago was easily north of $60k today. No nepotism needed, and no Ivy League school needed.

I’d add at this point, plumbers, electricians and HVAC mechanics. Ya’ll don’t have a clue how expensive that shits getting.

My first job out of college (B.S. in Construction Management) paid $54,000/year plus a 10% travel incentive, among many other benefits of travelling, but for this purpose, my salary was effectively $60,000 (and this was in 2010 - so this same amount is about $69,000 in today’s dollars). These jobs and companies exist.…

lol. Engineering. Accounting, finance.
You know, services people need and pay for..

You could unscrew your seat, move it back, and get extra legroom at the expense of the guy behind you.

I think it bothers people because deep down it’s all BS. 2 3oz bottles of liquid is ok, but 1 6 oz bottle isn’t??? A frozen ice-pack is OK, but a thawed out ice-pack is a security hazard. WTF.

And the more people paying the TSA for the privilege, the longer it’ll be until we can abolish the TSA and their useless security theatre.
