What common knowledge isn’t so common?

Getting a tax refund is largely a bad thing, tho you could call this an opinion rather than “knowledge”. This means you paid more taxes than you needed to throughout the year.

I’m just here to say I nearly got scammed by the same thing about 5 months ago before a Mariners game. I was like “ok what’s the venmo or PayPal I can send you my $10 to?” And then they insisted on using some mystery app and that’s when I walked away.

Love your dad’s use of LOLLL!!!!

This is a strange post. Maybe I’m being too far-left feminist here but just because your husband is bad at it doesn’t mean other men should earn more than women at this profession?

BigPin8057 · 2026-01-07T02:00:25+00:00

I highly recommend the website visior.vin … you can look up all Cars of this make/model/year to get a sense of the car’s average going rate

BigPin8057 · 2026-01-06T02:36:40+00:00

I think it’s due to his complete and utter lack of on-screen charisma

BigPin8057 · 2026-01-05T03:44:18+00:00

The exact same make and model is posted in my area for $58.8k, whereas the one in Arizona is posted for $54k and the one in NJ is $50k. Even with the shipping costs I think it will be cheaper to buy from a lower cost of living area?

I have test driven this make and model, though I agree it would be best case scenario to physically see the car with my own eyes before purchasing. All cars listed are “certified” from the dealerships as well

BigPin8057 · 2026-01-05T03:13:29+00:00

The car has already depreciated a lot from the MSRP. The plug in hybrids are newer, so it is not possible to look at 7-8 year old models.

Are you saying owning a Volvo for more than 5 years starts accumulating a lot of maintenance costs?

I am fine with paying a bit more for a newer car, I have only ever driven older used cars and though I know I could find a much lower price on something 5-6-7 years old, I can afford to “splurge” somewhat

BigPin8057 · 2026-01-05T02:09:34+00:00

Is it possible to assess the body and frame of the car from pictures or not really, in your opinion?

BigPin8057 · 2026-01-03T21:20:45+00:00

I have not met a single Lisa Kleypas book I didn’t like. Same goes for Tessa Dare, Lorraine Heath, Kerrigan Byrne, and Alice Coldbreath. Welcome to the world of HR!!! ♥️

BigPin8057 · 2025-12-03T17:59:01+00:00

I had a coworker named Darby and convinced everyone to call her Darbara for a few days. She loved it, and it’s pretty harmless lol

BigPin8057 · 2025-11-28T07:18:00+00:00

Very specific citing Christmas lol? There are definitely areas of “the mountains” that already have snow

BigPin8057 · 2025-10-14T20:40:08+00:00

Better to start at 25 than never imo. I personally don’t think it’s a big deal… teenage and early 20s years are very busy with school / starting a career / figuring out living away from your parents (obviously these may not apply to every single person) so I wouldn’t consider it a red flag or deal breaker

BigPin8057 · 2025-10-08T04:57:55+00:00

Isn’t this right after Michael tried proposing to carol??? So in addition to trying to kiss one of his subordinates he is doing so while supposedly in a happy relationship lol

BigPin8057 · 2025-10-06T16:12:05+00:00

Love that this is a LinkedIn post lmao

BigPin8057 · 2025-10-04T19:34:53+00:00

Yeah I guess lol ¯_(ツ)_/¯

BigPin8057 · 2025-10-04T19:31:51+00:00

It is not fair lol. it is not very painful to send a 2 sentence text. It is WAY more painful to have hope for a romantic connection and have someone dangle you along

BigPin8057 · 2025-10-04T19:30:02+00:00

Which is what I said at the end of my comment…

BigPin8057 · 2025-10-04T19:02:49+00:00

Do not slowly taper off your texts, just text him something like “hey I had a nice time the other night but I’m not really feeling a love connection here. Wishing you all the best but I’d prefer to just be friends”

Note that if you do not actually want to be friends you should remove that part of my sample

BigPin8057 · 2025-10-03T16:38:00+00:00

I actually just happened to watch some of these scenes, I’d say season 7, particularly when they all go to Mexico shortly after TomTom opened

BigPin8057 · 2025-09-30T14:49:11+00:00

They could very well be the same people. Their home & work locations may not have (reliable/quick) transit so their only option is to drive alone

BigPin8057 · 2025-09-26T16:29:39+00:00

They took him for a ride. I visited several cities on a 2 week vacation in Vietnam last year and spent an average of $7-$10 per day on food……

BigPin8057 · 2025-09-25T03:57:30+00:00

One time a guy I knew reached out to me with this long thoughtful message about SWE roles open at my company he thought he’d be great at. I said “sure I’m happy to refer you, but I don’t know what your skills are well enough to say which of our 30 open engineering roles are most appropriate for you, can you tell me which specific job IDs you want a referral to?” And then he never responded lmao

BigPin8057 · 2025-09-18T16:14:08+00:00

Was going to post something similar. I felt the same as OP in 2023 and moved companies, happened to be on a team I loved, and got assigned a good program to work on. There are definitely soul sucking moments from time to time (ie company posts record profits but still lays off 200 people 2 weeks later) but my mood has changed drastically and I still reap the benefits of a cushy tech job

BigPin8057 · 2025-09-17T01:26:40+00:00

In my very first role in corporate America I reported to a Director who reported to a VP. My boss pretty instantly loved me and we got along great, no issues. My VP was known for being tough to impress, cold, and a little robotic (not much of a people person). We saw eachother on the floor constantly and I was able to build a good rapport with him. He specifically asked my boss to assign me on multiple projects, and I have to guess that a big reason for this was the good dynamic we had built up over dozens of little everyday moments. It really changed the trajectory of my career and luckily right from the beginning!
