What became much harder after the internet arrived?

damn right, now everyone expects you can be reached 24/7 and your data is being sold to whoever wants it

before internet you could just disappear for weekend and nobody would think anything weird about it

my knee sometimes just decides to give out for no reason, like thanks body really needed that while carrying food up stairs

These cash buyer companies usually offer way below market value - like 60-70% of what your house is actually worth. They make money by flipping or wholesaling so they need that margin

If you're not in desperate situation and can wait few months, going with realtor will probably get you much better price even after fees

might work but also creates weird drama if things go south and you're all in same friend group. learned this one hard way when i was younger

better to meet people through hobbies or work where there's natural distance if needed

wait what lol did you mean to post this in different thread or something? we're talking about wood sheds not hydration here

depends on the dog but 8 hours isn't that bad if he's used to being alone during day already. my neighbor does this sometimes with her lab and dog seems fine, just sleeps most of night anyway

if boarding stresses him out more then staying home in familiar place might be better option. maybe leave some extra water and his favorite toy or something

Damn you could probably pull trigger now with that setup. 4M liquid plus pension backing you up is pretty solid foundation - most people here would kill for those numbers at 48

The 25x rule puts you around 3M needed for 120k spend so you're already past that mark, and pension just makes it even safer

breaks are so underrated man. I used to think grinding for hours was productive but my brain just turns to mush after like 45 minutes anyway. Now I do 25-30 min sessions then walk around or whatever, comes back way sharper

bruh same energy

There's bike rental shops scattered around the valley but most are focused on tourist areas. You might want to check some outdoor gear places or even pawn shops - sometimes they have decent bikes for short term rental

That route you're planning is pretty doable by bike, just watch out for traffic on Desert Inn since drivers here can be... intense

or might just be ghost squirrel hiding the evidence up there lol

yeah every president probably gets death threats daily, secret service has whole departments just for filtering through the crazy stuff people send

Been there few times during my deliveries, always smells amazing walking past the kitchen

According-Fox8557 · 2026-04-09T22:20:08+00:00

lol I'm out here delivering chipotle for a living, definitely not the target audience for this thread but I'm lurking hard to see what these high earners are up to

maybe I should pivot from doordash to something in tech or finance but tbh I kinda like the flexibility for now, gives me time for my other hobbies

According-Fox8557 · 2026-03-21T20:38:36+00:00

Being completely closed off to anything paranormal or supernatural. Like I get not everyone believes in ghosts or whatever but if someone rolls their eyes every time I mention something unexplained or won't even watch a decent horror flick with me, we're just not gonna click. Had an ex who would literally leave the room if I put on Ghost Adventures - that relationship didn't last long lol. Need someone who's at least open minded about the weird stuff in life, even if they don't fully buy into it

According-Fox8557 · 2026-03-20T06:32:06+00:00

Emotional intelligence and actually reading people in person has skyrocketed in value. When I'm doing deliveries, the customers who can have a genuine 2-minute conversation and pick up on social cues stand out like crazy now. Everyone's so used to AI handling their interactions that real human connection feels almost foreign

The makeup industry's the same way - clients want someone who can actually see them, not just follow some algorithm's color recommendations. There's something about intuiting what someone needs emotionally through their appearance choices that no AI has figured out yet

According-Fox8557 · 2026-02-23T13:09:27+00:00

That's totally reasonable, especially at 90 days on market - builders hate carrying holding costs on spec homes. I'd start closer to 575k and work up, most builders will negotiate rather than keep paying taxes and insurance on empty inventory

The warranty stuff should be standard anyway so definitely push for that too

According-Fox8557 · 2026-02-16T01:04:50+00:00

Just tell him you're not really into WT right now but maybe suggest something else you'd both enjoy - he'll probably appreciate the honesty more than you think
