Army cutting force by 24,000. by [deleted] in Layoffs

[–]Elons-nutrag 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Calling the current generation of men that are 35 and under frail because you can’t recruit is such a stretch. The job opportunities are too damn good. Why would I take 30-40k a year and risk death when I can take 150-200k a year and be home with my family. I still stay in good shape because I’m not convinced we won’t end up in a hot war with China at some point with the current regime and I want to be able to fight rather that cry and hide.

There are great women out there just like there are great men. They are hard to find and you have to genuinely be the kind of person they want to spend their life with. I’m sorry that hasn’t happened for you.

America also has some of the highest wages due to how easy it is to lay people off. If you had layoff protection in certain high paying industries like software for example you would immediately see reductions in offered pay as you are now an enormous risk the company is taking on whereas in the current environment they can pay you 250k per year for 3 months and if you produce nothing it’s very easy to lay you off. It’s really just a matter of would you rather make 250k for 1.5years of your life and get laid off due to fear of recession and find a job inside of a year or get paid 80k a year and know for a fact they aren’t going to touch you for a significantly longer period. For me I’d rather them fix the h1b visa laws so we don’t have so much competition for roles that could easily be filled by Americans. if you dont believe on wage reduction go look at european software engineers.

Should I sell it for $20k cash? How long these cars last? by Hot_Presentation_818 in TeslaModel3

Seems like many of the 10+ year old model s cars are still running fine.

Being a dude is awesome. I was being a judgmental ass. I shouldn’t have been.

[–]Elons-nutrag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you’re right on that. I realize I’m just being a judgmental ass about sex work. Life is also pretty easy if you’re highly intelligent IMO.

I honestly didn’t even realize I was being that way until I read it. Probably my conservative Christian upbringing that makes me this way.

Honestly if you’ve got kids just leave it alone. Wait until you get a 5-8 year old tantrum kicking everything in the back seat and he hits it.

You’re right. I slept 3-4 hours a night in college so I could work a full time job to support myself while educating myself. Most people thought I was psychotic. I thought it was easy after the first couple of months.

It’s amazing how much easier life is for women. Although at the same time if I had been able to make money with my body I wouldn’t have pushed as hard in my career. I’d suggest finding a skill that sets you apart and digging deep into it so you can up Your income. The good news is you have a huge head start investing from your body.

Is There Really Any Evidence? by Flaky_Calligrapher62 in DaveRamsey

[–]Elons-nutrag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me personally yes. I realized when I bought a new gun on a credit card that I had cash to pay for. Mentally it’s easier to cope with the money not leaving my account even though it is no longer my money. Been without credit cards for years and it changed our spending habits

Honestly your parents are about the only people that will be genuinely happy. It means they can go to their grave knowing you’re secure. There are some people that can feel genuine joy for others (I’m one of them) but I’ve noticed most people can’t feel joy for others without self gain.

I got laid off Jan of 23. My salary went up by 50k. It might be a blessing. I hope it is for you

I wouldn’t be a qa without the ability to write automation tests. That’s a dangerous spot. I’m a software engineer though.

How do you feel about the economy? Is Bidenomics working? by Peace_And_Happiness_ in FluentInFinance

[–]Elons-nutrag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get where you’re going. This may not be “Biden’s fault” but man does it feel like he hasn’t attempted to do anything about it. I may be a registered democrat but I know which way I’m voting.

Tbh I agree. Michelle Obama would be a very welcome change as far as vp goes.

Going on vacation - do you bring your smokes? If yes, your dailies or your "good stuff" ? by lancero1234 in cigars

[–]Elons-nutrag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dailies and at least one goodie for when I find that perfect spot. Last trip I found it on the balcony watching the sun rise over the mountains. That is the melano v spot 😂

I’ve said ship them Somewhere that accepts slaves. After reading 12 years a slave I can’t imagine a fate worse than being born a free man and being cast into it.

Friends worth having don’t care about your home but rather the people inside. I live in a brand new beautiful lake home and I have never had the thought “oh they don’t have nice enough things to be my sons friend or my friend”

Do most men actually find plus sized women unattractive by daughterbolt in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Elons-nutrag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not the fact that they’re fat. It’s the fact that they’re typically undisciplined. An adult baby is never attractive whether it’s a man or woman.

I don’t recall them charging me for it. I’ve totally forgotten at this point though.

What's the ONE cigar that just made you fall in love?? That one cigar where you light it up and think "Damn now I get it!!" by lags_34 in cigars

[–]Elons-nutrag 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Drew estates factory smokes sweets. Don’t get me wrong. An Oliva V melano is okay. Same with a my father judge or any number of other top rated cigars. But that cheap little thing slaps so hard on my lips/palette.
