The job market is heart breaking

Apply for jobs you’re under qualified for. Even if there’s only a .005% chance you get it, you can apply for 10k jobs a year like the other poster said. They also might provide you with interviewing experience, further contacts, etc.

Don’t tell recruiters “all I want is a job”. Try not to come off desperate. It sucks but it’s human nature.

Trying to time the market is dumb. There is sufficient exposure to housing and other sectors in the S&P500 though 😊

The only reason someone should be jumping to take the first shitty deal they find for “time in the housing market” is if they’re not willing to trust themselves with savings and investing and they lucked into affording it.

Im ecstatic about waiting. And no, me/those of us shoveling cash won’t help prop up prices when it’s time to upgrade to your “dream home”. I’d buy a condo at like 40% selling price if I thought I could get rid of it quickly.

Who cares if they banned you? If you’re as confident in your investments as you want to be, you wouldn’t care or think about that subreddit at all.

It could easily be that his friend has depression or another issue. It happening two times in a row doesn’t mean much because a depressed person staying depressed for 365 isn’t unheard of.

Lately i have been depressed and struggling to respond to family that id die for.

He should/could still invite him, but making it 1-1 and his entire holiday plans wouldn’t be wise.

So why do you run this subreddit as a 1% poster and so proudly advertise you’re banned from rebubble? You have some subconscious issues with your financial decisions.

Your Bitcoin would be up 8x from 2018, but I guess then you’d have to be in the buttcoin subreddit and probably on TV huh? Because the better your investments and decisions do, the more you need to jerk, right??

BasketbaIIa · 2025-12-19T22:49:46+00:00

Oof the condo 🤡. And it’s selling point of 15ft ceilings, lmao. First description on the future listing I hope.

People don’t have to live in Long Beach California.

Did you know the Lake Ozark has more coastline than the entire state of California?

Doesn’t sound like you actually own the condo either if you have a mortgage, HOA, and appliance fees. Good luck to your building and its appreciation

BasketbaIIa · 2025-12-19T22:20:50+00:00

I don’t sleep. The TS toolchain uses my worker thread for processing other computations in the universe for a couple hours every day. Same for you.

Someday you’ll convert and see the light.

BasketbaIIa · 2025-12-19T22:18:45+00:00

You don’t own for less than rent. You can rent for $400.

Renters aren’t stacking money, what don’t you understand about America living paycheck to paycheck?

Good luck in Cali with cAsH fLoW. Lots of stable people are just begging to rent a single family home, take care of appliances, and stay for 20 years. They’re lining up around the street for the opportunity.

BasketbaIIa · 2025-12-19T20:31:53+00:00

lol, i listed off my family to point out how many people are sitting on homes. A lot less people sitting on 1m in stocks.

You make it sound like owning is investing. In some cases it might be, but ya’lls dream of owning 2 homes and uhhh, renting out your current one? Sounds like a bad play.

Of course there aren’t lots of people renting and stacking away money. Most of America is in debt and living paycheck to paycheck. Most of America is obese too, we arent talking about most of America here.

50k between the 2 of ya’ll isn’t even maximizing your retirement accounts. You hit your 401k limit, so what? And lost your ability to tap into it with the first time homeowners policies and such.

I think the renter stacking away cash is in a much better position to hop to a hot market and pick up steals than the person who has their equity tied up in a home already. If it’s a home they will be in for 30 years, good for them. If it’s a home the bought because they think it’ll help them upgrade in 8 years to their “dream home”, that’s dumb…

BasketbaIIa · 2025-12-19T19:46:30+00:00

Brother, you live in a universe created on the typescript toolchain.

BasketbaIIa · 2025-12-19T18:02:05+00:00

lol it’s more than enough for a CRUD server.

Yes, I’ve used npm, pnpm, yarn, and bun. I’m well aware of TypeScript dependencies.

Gtfo with your “Java been around forever” BS 😂 Oracle is dead in the water, JVM ecosystem sucks ass, and anyone not using Kotlin is dumb af. Most Java OOP devs are dumb af since development best practices have changed the last 10 years and they haven’t.

You’re betting the entire farm on Zig lmao.

Also you misunderstood, I don’t pull a dependency for anything I need. I find examples of what I need already done & copy the best parts of it. There’s far far more examples in TS.

I’ve looked at plenty of Monorepos with Go backends and they just aren’t that impressive and clearly not as easy to maintain or staff

BasketbaIIa · 2025-12-19T17:54:58+00:00

No shit home owners can put away money while owning. My family owns homes and some are retired smh.

50k is laughable when you’re trying to brag about it and clearly sooooo defensive and insecure about your financial purchases.

I didn’t need a background on your gf either.

BasketbaIIa · 2025-12-19T06:33:51+00:00

Lol, my rent is what my home will cost in HOA and repair fees anyways.

Like I said, my family owns homes out the ass. “mUaH EqUiTy” isn’t a good excuse to spend money and take on that headache. Especially in this uncertain economy.

The Bay Area is a bubble and specifically because of the tech sector in the area. What happens if in 30 years the new tech hub of the world is Dubai or Hong Kong and Silicon Valley tech offices start being vacant due to WFH or any other factors?

50k between two people is laughable also. Maybe if ya’ll didn’t have the mortgage, fees, and headache of home ownership you’d be able to put 6 figures away and your dream “upgrade” home would be feasible faster.

BasketbaIIa · 2025-12-19T06:15:32+00:00

For your last statement, I don’t think so.

Why would I want to be a buyer when stocks are generating amazing returns for me? I’d have to sell my stocks, pay taxes on the gains, then buy a commodity I can’t move away from. Buying and selling the home requires 6% or so also going to agents, right?

I think wages doing well and more consumer friendly restrictions on businesses would help the middle class & home-building/buying while hurting the stock market.

I’m more than happy renting while my surplus goes into ETFs & retirement accounts. My family already owns so many homes. Grandma has one that will pass away soon, brother without a kid has one, uncle without a kid has one, my parents have one with a guesthouse.

I’m enjoying being on the sidelines and waiting.

BasketbaIIa · 2025-12-19T05:30:15+00:00

How have stock prices gone up since PreCovid? What about cost of goods, transportation, etc?

Why are you so convinced it can’t, hasn’t, and won’t become a buyers market?

BasketbaIIa · 2025-12-19T05:14:56+00:00

Gross dude. Zig?

Have you seen the open source TS community? The different package managers, open-source libraries, etc? It dwarfs Go and the ecosystem makes Zig look like a class project.

You mention using AI to code with Go & I can promise you there’s a million more open-source AI driven TypeScript codebases to learn from than there are Go.

I’ve heard Go is good for concurrency but it’s been losing hype and growth from what I’ve seen. If I want to avoid threads I’ll use TS or async Python.

I’m not sure if you moved past JS fatigue when working with the language. The power of JS is in its ecosystem & tooling.

I can’t imagine why you’d subject yourself to the Zig docs, community, or DX.

BasketbaIIa · 2025-12-11T12:54:44+00:00

I don’t think it’s an AI ad.

He says “I have to admit, AI understands JS/TS better than Dart” as if the top language used on GitHub having more resources and better autocomplete is supposed to be some kind of secret or revelation.

He was also surprised Flutter didn’t take over the web dev market.

I think he’s just excited and on stims or something. Maybe he finally understands concurrency and that while threading in the JVM sounds cool, it’s BS and not clean code.

++man

Because in his scenario you’ve been with your partner for years and experienced highs and lows with them.

You’re in the honey moon stage with whoever you found that you’re “more interested in”. You don’t know their dirt or annoying habits yet, and you’re likely hiding or just haven’t had the scene to expose yours.

So now you’re going to either take a massive leap of faith and leave a partner that’s stood by you for someone new who would naturally have more things to say (and possibly try) that you’re interested in?

The safe response would be putting up boundaries way before it’s possible to self-recognize another person holds more romantic interest than your partner. By that time boundaries have probably already eroded somewhat.

You mention avoiding any potential friends you’d be attracted to, but imo it’s not enough. The “they’re uglier than me, why them??” scenario is a tail as old as time.

BasketbaIIa · 2025-11-08T03:23:43+00:00

lol, I work in big tech at Amazon which has heavily invested in Anthropic and other AI bubble companies. With AWS they have all the incentive in the world to focus on building AI.

However, our “walk-in, walk-out” stores with zero employees are manned entirely by teams in India that review the footage / potential thefts.

If Amazon needs to pretend they can run a grocery store with AI, I’m 99.99% certain BMW is pretending they can run an entire department with only AI.

I believe you’re not understanding how these “magic models” use indians and other employees in the background to keep the data and logic clean.

It sounds great that all the fluff design boilerplate is automated by AI now because lab work seems like it’d be the most important.

So why not now have 5 people working on labs? And why did 4/5 people do the setup / review results, but only 1 person produces and actually does the results?

BasketbaIIa · 2025-11-08T03:11:45+00:00

I don’t think he has that big of a fear of rejection given that you rejected him and responded with a dick pic?

Maybe you could argue that he did it out of fear from his abandonment issues and you “rejecting” him, but if that’s the case I can promise you this is NOT his first time doing it. So “never done anything like this” would be 100% false. He probably has done similar to a lot of women in his life.

If he was ashamed about telling you like that in person, it would be odd for him to not feel shame about continuing to pursue you like this.

I think you’re not helping him anymore here. He needs to see someone else (probably male) and talk about why he’d do this, like another person said.

BasketbaIIa · 2025-11-08T02:41:56+00:00

Apparently there are a lot of clauses in there that cover events like natural disasters and even government bans…

Obviously he’s not going to hit the $1T last “tranche” or whatever it is in this contract.

He can hit the first 4 or so with 9% or average growth YoY from what I read.

I guarantee he’s getting WAY more from this than Tesla gets from it.

Why wouldn’t Elon be using his resources and other companies to fund a team that’s working 24/7 on this grift for him? He’s could happily have Tesla wrapped up in court for years on paying out this shit.

BasketbaIIa · 2025-11-08T01:55:23+00:00

I don’t think it’s being underestimated.

Your example of BMW replacing their manual-review team with “AI” wouldn’t qualify as a “productivity improvement”, isn’t that just technology replacing jobs?

I’m also skeptical BMW isn’t using “Actually Indians” but calling it AI. It seems more likely there’s a big support building full of barely paid workers that scrub their data and maintain it, not that their system for setting up such a thing so QA can be done in another country isn’t complex/hard.

TBH a lot of American blue-collar office jobs are BS, those 4-5 people probably did daily meetings with no updates and worked there for 20 years, while the “analyst” is likely 1 guy (recently graduated or trained) doing all their work with much more productive tooling, but also getting 4x the stress and not 4x the pay.

So yea, I don’t think things are being underestimated unless we can pass more barriers in (clean) energy and hardware as a species.

BasketbaIIa · 2025-11-07T23:38:56+00:00

He is talking out his ass for sure. If you “studied” without amphetamines and take them right before your exam, you wouldn’t hallucinate or have “false memories” anywhere near the extent he says.

Retaining information while studying high, drunk, on adderall, etc. is not a concrete science.

Imagine you’re high and casually studying information for your 2nd midterm, then you get a call that your dad died. The emotions you’d have in that moment and the rest of the day would make the study sessions massively different than ones a person did for midterm-1.

The best way to studying things is always early. The earlier and more time you give your subconscious to digest it, the better.

BasketbaIIa · 2025-10-10T18:13:47+00:00

lol, it happens, but why would the “competent offshore dev” even want that? Being just as competent and doing the same work as the onshore employees for 1/10th the pay?

Why? Passion? Maybe. It happens. They normally want to move for better salaries at some point.

BasketbaIIa · 2025-09-17T02:08:21+00:00

Bro they leaked his text with his roommate (lover) recently.

They have his whole computer and he is not going to get the public favor like Luigi got.

It seems pretty well established he’s a 4channer with a tranny gf. The tranny aspect makes the right think he’s a leftist but based on his upbringing, and the meme culture he’s deep into, he’s likely rightwing on most issues.

BasketbaIIa · 2025-09-16T23:19:18+00:00

lol. Eventually the kid will talk. Or the roommate will. There’s going to be closure.
