Are you a director? That may be why. You’re not a writer. A writer probably calls it a writer’s strike.

Well, I’d you truly do know them - let them know it was noticed and some of us do hope they are ok. A break or a full breakup is totally justified. I just don’t want to see people hurt or hurting.

That’s awful. I hope he found something.
Moving and getting a job is difficult because other countries are likely to prioritize their own citizens over transplants.

I k ew about the UK move, but had no idea about the job. I agree that the sudden cutoff is strange indeed.

- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 1 month ago:
Based on what I read in the posted article, everyone is making a big leap here. Of course I expect you all to be right in the end based on Reddit being a shitshow, but we don’t know what the content they are referring to is exactly.
For all we know, they are only referring to stuff like human trafficking or child porn. The statement is vague.

This is how I felt too. Eventually I just stopped using our corporate Grubhub “perk” because I was still paying for it when the entire idea was supposed to be a meal “on the company” once a week for weekly All-Hands meetings.

Bruh, your golf business meetings, lunches, drinks, clubs, gamblin, parties, and anything other than sitting in front of a computer going meeting after meeting with 5 minute lunch is a mistake.

- Comment on Robinhood admits it’s just a gambling app. 5 months ago:
I see. So you don’t live in America. I still stand by what I said because I’m pretty sure that many manufacturers that sell vehicles in your area are cheaper than a Tesla.
Also, why are you getting angry for me pointing out what’s true? You compared Tesla and Ford without specifying where you live and/or availability. If you can’t get a Ford there at all then of course it’s less affordable than a Tesla because it’s not even an option.
If that’s the point then begs to ask why you even compared the two for your edge case and used a generality of affordability to most “normal people”.
- Comment on Robinhood admits it’s just a gambling app. 5 months ago:
Then you certainly couldn’t buy a Tesla either which is more out of your price range. That’s the point of my response.
- Comment on Robinhood admits it’s just a gambling app. 5 months ago:
The whole point of this response is that a Tesla is not more affordable for most normal people because what they can purchase is influenced by initial buy in costs/their own budgets at purchase:
Most “normal people” have less than $1K in savings. A model 3 is baseline around $40K plus the infrastructure of chargers you will probably need installed to charge it.
A ford’s cheapest vehicle is a Bronco Sport or Escape starting at 29K.
Even with high credit scores, you’re talking at least ~$500 monthly payments even with something like 7K down. I know this because I purchased a new vehicle for about 30K within the past 6 months and my credit score was 815 at the time of purchase.
You have to remember that long term affordability doesn’t matter. Up front costs are influencing most “normal people” purchases because what you can afford NOW is what you can afford. There’s a reason subscription services see monthly or quarterly as their biggest buy-ins because cheaper up front costs mean more to the consumer who has to invest in the NOW despite the over time being a better deal.

- Comment on Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion Clinics 5 months ago:
Mapquest is still around, so that solves one problem. The rest can be alleviated by communicating in person with your partner and aligning on a plan to not get tracked (like partner driving you and leaving their phone at home).
In the absence of that help, friends or family you trust. A cab? The clinic probably has a phone to hail a cab.
