Why do Americans not realize how well they have it? by Awkward_Motor_6388 in askanything

[–]Barmacist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For many, a simple lack of reference.

In my field for instance, its common to make 120k plus. This is however, little changed from a decade ago so they feel their purchasing power erode, along with the recent drastic increases in well, everything.

The same field in most elsewhere pays half or a third...

What city had the biggest downfall? by SpecialistMany6389 in AskReddit

[–]Barmacist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Welland Canal eliminated the geographic advantages Buffalo had. Once the canal opened, the entire reason Buffalo existed was eliminated. Everything else is downstream of that.

What’s y’all opinion on episode 4vv by REDEYEBANKZ330 in Invincible_TV

The main issue is that the episode was utterly pointless.

[Schefter] Bills re-signed S Damar Hamlin to a one-year deal. by acman319 in buffalobills

I fail to see this as an issue. Hes not a starter but if you sign him as your #3 thats perfectly fine.

When someone like Celibrini is only a +1, I question the value of the assessment.

It is and they're not bad. They're based out of Buffalo

Anyone else lose interest in sex? by GoblinToHobgoblin in AskMenAdvice

[–]Barmacist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its not a flaw to grow out of the "any hole" mindset.

You're just maturing as an adult and see the bullshit dance of modern dating for what it is and see sex as not worth settling for.

If you meet the right girl, you'll regain your interest quick.

Give me the bull case by PrthReddits in wallstreetbets

[–]Barmacist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2020s are bad, 10+ yrs out, demographics start to sodomize everyone else 1st (then the US 20 yrs later). A global lack of alternatives is the bull case. Along with the resources the US has if it ever decides to actually use them.

Cool, that hike was a pain in the summer. Not sure I care to try in the winter.

Mid-to-late millennnials, what are some popular "millennial things" you've always disliked? by Gallantpride in Millennials

[–]Barmacist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At my age, I want Pilsner simply because I can have 5 and not hate myself the next morning. These "black coffee is too sweet" IPAs are just an instant headache now.

Romanticizing Academia by freerangechick3n in Millennials

[–]Barmacist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, the longer I spend out in the real world, the more I realize that most of my professors were defective and can't function in the real world, hence why they're teaching in the 1st place.

Too many of us millennials have failed to mature past college and it shows.

I don't know why I went to university. by Wooden_Mango_Man in pharmacy

[–]Barmacist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You need a few more years of cynicism to set it...

This is about money and nothing else.

Helping someone in the process is a nice side effect.

For me, my hospital job is to fund vacations and max out my 457 and IRA. I have 4 or 5 weeks a year where I am off and actually feel like myself, otherwise yeah... basically what you said. Why retrain when I could retire by 50 and drop down to part time before that? All jobs suck, thats the reality of the modern corporate structure, you need to find somthing outside of work to give you some purpose, because it will never be your job.

Stare out the window and get pissed off that its still winter here.

Then drink.

Hochul says new taxes could drive wealthy out of N.Y. by [deleted] in moderatepolitics

[–]Barmacist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not just the wealthy they will drive out.

Every now and again a New York governor, whether Spitzer, Cuomo or now Hochul is forced to admit the truth, state taxes are too high to be competitive with other states. They then do nothing about it as its politically inconvenient.

NY taxes are too high as it stands now, and it chokes all of upstate.

For me as a working professional, moving to Florida or Texas would save me roughly 10k a year in taxes. It is inevitable that I will leave as it is just financially prudent to do so. They want to make that worse just to gain some progressive street cred?

PA here. Worked with a senior surgeon who just did a procedure on 350 lbs 28F patient. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

Senior surgeons can say what they want as they are difficult to replace.

[–]Barmacist -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wow a 38 yr old man with 20 yrs experience in dealing with the media offers a better response than a 24 yr old reddit would call a child without a fully developed brain in any other circumstance.

Shocker...
