In my opinion, we as a species are not ready to live in public even as much as we are currently, with the level of privacy we still have. We are already so hateful and judgmental of the “other” and willing to use legal and social means to punish transgressions from the normal. Privacy is one of our only remaining antidotes to tolerate living against the grain of society.
Pretty sure that they would counter, that if you’re not willing to relocate to literally anywhere at no notice and at your own expense you don’t really want to work. 1500 per week is simply not possible unless you’re looking nationally if not internationally depending on the industry.
Reddit does the courtesy of blocking my VPN so I am not tempted to use it and be tracked.
Its weird to me that while I make twice as much as I did before college I feel not that much wealthier, since I now have to pay more for insurance, student loans, rent hikes to live in a hcol area, more is drawn out in my 401k, and I’ve spent five figures in medical expenses in that timeframe.
It is easy to spend in a way to feel poor at every level I guess, at least below the millionaire tier. I am not poor but I check my bank account constantly anyway and I have lots of big purchase anxiety.
I regularly take a busy road with a two-lane roundabout marked this way and you can be sure that people will ignore these lane markers. I’m honestly surprised I haven’t seen a fender bender there before.
I pretty much have always given at least two weeks notice, the one exception was during training at a warehouse job and I think I was going to get fired shortly if I didn’t quit since it was clearly not working. Sometimes you have to give notice in bad situations.
In retrospect I’m glad I took that job anyway though, it got me out of a job I hated and I quickly found a workplace that respected me. I did worry a lot at the time though, I didn’t have much savings. Also, a few days after I became unemployed Hurricane Harvey hit us in Houston, which could have turned out pretty badly for me if I lost my apartment or my car, but it had no serious impact on my livelihood. Giving no notice definitely feels better when you have options and the ability to burn bridges.
It is impossible to please everyone with something like this but I personally think it strikes a good balance of opinionated and thoughtful. Thanks for making this.
They are using it in a different sense. Not that they are considered luxury goods by being expensive and associated with higher socioeconomic standing, but that they are a frivolity which is not necessary and which has tangible costs that they feel are justified due to pure pleasure.
I guess it is the year of the Linux desktop for at least some people.
I’ve used Linux desktop in various forms for just over two decades, this has to be the fourth time it felt like Linux was having its chance to seize marketshare. Each time it ends up not being the mass adoption that people hope for but it feels like the community grows each time so I think it is neat nonetheless.
