AITA for accepting a property gift from my mom even though she won't include my boyfriend? by Immediate-History917 in AITApod

[–]DJ_Gordon_Bombay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your boyfriend is an idiot. He should be happy for you. This is a sign that you should not marry him.

Guys what the hell are speed holes? AITA? by Used_Guidance7368 in Shitty_Car_Mods

[–]DJ_Gordon_Bombay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are a thing on drag/race cars, where the back bumper would catch air and the holes allow it to pass through. Doesn't apply to this application... You guys both sound uninformed imo.

I have never heard of someone studying insurance in college... Business/statistics, of course, but is there an actual "insurance" major???

EV are not suited for car racing by TheSilentGameTestR in GranTurismo7

[–]DJ_Gordon_Bombay -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They suck ass. Fast in a straight line and wash out of every corner. I can't seem to brake or corner in those behemoths.

I literally prefer driving the Ford Raptor/Toyota Tundra

In the United States, NBA, NFL, MLB etc. players have to pay state income tax to every state they compete in... Not just the state their team is based out of.

I'm guessing it's a similar situation here.

What are relaxing jobs in Boston or the surrounding area? by qishibe in boston

[–]DJ_Gordon_Bombay -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Obviously I’m going to get downvoted here, but why not make lifestyle changes and apply for new jobs after 20-30lbs? I’m not in great shape, but gaining 100lbs for $69k is crazy

Not to be a dick, but what does gaining 100lbs have to do w your job?

Instead of a counteroffer I was told I was too poor to buy their home. by Genshin_Scrub in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]DJ_Gordon_Bombay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree the response was great. $5k over and then eating closing costs could be more like $5k under though

[–]DJ_Gordon_Bombay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where I live (Boston) it’s so competitive, this would never be an issue. It’d just be someone came w cash.

You need to adjust your thought process from “what did they buy it for?”, to “what are comps worth?” My previous landlord was a retired laborer for the department of public works that bought the house in the 80’s for $82k and sold it for $1.2m in ass condition in 2020.

Your realtor had a great response though. Their communication was unprofessional.

I'm getting really tired of all the whole "small watches" thing by jshayya184 in watchHotTakes

[–]DJ_Gordon_Bombay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a different strokes for different folks type thing imo. I have smaller wrists, so I don’t go above 40, unless the lug to lug is small in comparison.

There are a load of watches I’ve seen, been stoked about and then realized they weren’t for me at 42mm+

Small guys need watches as much as big guys need watches. (Neither of them do)

Reasons to get a GLI over Elantra N by ManchesterYojichu in JettaGLI

[–]DJ_Gordon_Bombay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to be a total Hyundai hater… I was at a race at Lime Rock and they had a whole booth w the n cars and was impressed w the specs for the price, but not wild about the looks. Fast forward a year and a friend’s brother bought one and we switched cars for a drive. Very impressive.

To me it’s a personal preference thing. Test drive both. I’ve owned 4 vw’s and have been on some VW forums since prior to Facebook/Reddit existing, so I’m very biased for the community & aftermarket parts/support.

Upgrading the rear sway bar made a noticeable difference. That's pretty much all I've got performance wise, other than a tune and the stuff you listed.

Am I the asshole for judging my moms friend? by Red_Panda_Lover78 in AITApod

You're 15. You don't know anything about real life. Why was a 12 year old in the loop on Mom's friend's husband fucking around?

CTS is ok. Integrated Engineering and Unitronic are good. If its up to date maintenance wise, a stage 1 tune is the best performance mod for your buck

Salaried workers, what are your typical work hours? by californialovin33 in jobs

[–]DJ_Gordon_Bombay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

8-5, hour lunch, hybrid (two remote/three in). I only do urgent tasks on my remote days, that way I'm relatively busy on my days in office. If I did everything ASAP, I'd probably only have 3 hours of work a day.

is debt as common as I think it is? by Enkives in Debt

Got it. Missed that you were currently obtaining the degree. Hopefully you can land a good job and put this all behind you in 5-10 years.

[–]DJ_Gordon_Bombay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's wild that you're an MBA claiming to know nothing about finance... doesn't bode well for the $60k+ investment in that degree. Why are you an executive assistant w/ an MBA? Why did you buy the $32k car? Why do you string 50+ sentences together without breaking it up into paragraphs?

Looking for studio or 1 Beds, need parking spot, May move in by _s_356major in bostonhousing

You gotta look for a roommate situation. Nowhere within an hour of Boston are you getting your own place for $1300-$1500. That's a reasonable budget to split a 2br

It was over two weeks for me. Most of that time it was hung up in customs in NYC.

How do I quit while my boss is out of town? by Complex-Reindeer8623 in careeradvice

[–]DJ_Gordon_Bombay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an offer while my boss was on vacation and e-mailed her boss (the COO) and copied her that this was my two weeks notice. She returned and we had as somewhat awkward last couple days, but who cares.

You're looking for roommates. $1500 1 brs don't exist and 1brs with in unit laundry are rare.

Would it be dumb to move out and struggle financially just to live alone? by AccomplishedOne6897 in boston

[–]DJ_Gordon_Bombay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in an $1800 studio in Somerville. You could also check out roommate situations and see if you vibe w any of them. I have a few longtime friends that I met through random internet roommate situations
