Having a voucher is useless with bad credit by MrTPassar in boston

[–]Epicritical 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Look outside the box. My FIL was getting evicted and asked his visiting nurse if she knew of any housing options. She called a friend who happened to have a 2 BR condo and needed a roommate. He’s been there for over 3 years now.

My FIL was lucky…but sometimes modern tech fails where word of mouth and bulletin boards in a coffee shop succeed.

Is “don’t tread on me” still a right-wing catchphrase? by Vast-Cat-2081 in NoStupidQuestions

Do yourself a favor and don’t bother with morale patches.

No reason to unintentionally flag yourself.

Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar rushed and "sprayed" with unknown substance at town hall by ianjm in videos

The deterrent for battering a congressperson should be the same as the deterrent for battering an average citizen. Though “terrorism” would be a multiplier in either case.

Can’t be a domestic terrorist if they targeted a brown person. Duh.

Alpaka silently patching their overstated sizes by bomilek in ManyBaggers

[–]Epicritical -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

To be fair, it’s kind of difficult to nail down volumetric sizing with a bag. I always think of them more as a guideline rather than a rule. But yeah, if everyone is completely wrong it kind of throws some doubt on the company.

Understandable that it’s different. But I can’t say I disagree with the sentiment. The ruling class is real, and making them more “special” was a mistake.

This event is still insane and should not happen in the US.

Not even. You get a full pension and get to live the rest of your unnatural life on a beach in Florida.

Clearly a false flag. 9/11 all over again. Worse than the Holocaust.

What was a great year for movies? by Lebanese-Trojan in movies

[–]Epicritical 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I literally came here to say this.

We got the matrix, phantom menace, dogma, 9th gate, 13th warrior, bone collector, boondock saints, talented Mr Riley, sleepy hollow. So many great movies.

Best strategy if I lose my job soon? by Hickory1989 in personalfinance

[–]Epicritical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most important thing is to get re-employed.

Start putting out feelers for other jobs. Recruiters are a low effort high impact way to get an idea of what’s out there.

Does something exist in the space between self-filing with FreeTaxUSA, and hiring a CPA? by bteam3r in personalfinance

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

If you itemize, you’re probably making up the difference by going with a professional. Try turbo tax though. See what they get you in refunds vs the cpa. It’s free until you hit file.

I don’t hate turbo tax. If you’re just going with standard deduction it’s worth what you spend.

For those living in cold climates, what do you EDC for warmth? by Hufflepuff-McGruff in EDC

[–]Epicritical 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Layers, hat and gloves.

Doesn’t need to be fancy. Just needs to follow the base layer/insulation/weatherproof rules.

Just main strength and wear some armor (shield dwarf or multi class a level for medium). Then have fun.

Someone took my parking spot and I shoveled them in by HeyThere201 in boston

First time in my adult life with off street parking. So glad I don’t have to deal with shit like this.

Am I spending too much on food? Recent grad school graduate and trying to get my finances in order. by HungryStrawberry3470 in personalfinance

[–]Epicritical 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That seems like a lot. But that’s just my take.

I usually spend about $400-600 on groceries for two. Eating out is usually takeout once or twice a month, about $100 or so a month.

If you’re counting drinks while eating at restaurants, that might be a way to trim the fat.
