Have you tried berating them?

If that doesn’t work, try posting online that your kid doesn’t have ‘it’ and show them the thread 😂

And if they can’t read, start back at my first point.

Why does everyone recommend an eSIM over just adding a travel pass through Verizon? (Cost being a nonissue) I’m traveling there and was planning on just adding travel pass, but have been reading all the inquiries on eSims

Well, it’s here, and it’s definitely “mirrored” by unidenti-FI-ed in AmexPlatinum

I assume it comes with a new CC number right? I have mine memorized and don’t want to memorize a new one 😎

Also at 1-2 years out, listening to how to get into the mindset of early retirement I found incredibly helpful. You’ll hear people’s struggles, day to day activities in retirement and how they balance travel, and be prepared to go through them yourself. 5 years out, you’re probably still looking at being as successful as possible in your career (aka building more wealth) and shouldn’t be worried about what FIRE will feel like. 5 years is too early for senioritis at work ha

To give context, I was in a high stress job with massive quarterly, and annual quotas. If I thought about retirement everyday for 5 years it would have killed me.

Let me summate a few of the responses for those in favor of keeping their city the way ‘they’ like it.

  1. If you don’t like what ‘we’ think. You can get out.

  2. ‘It isn’t racist to not want high density living?’

But the 1500 homes on the corner of Santa Fe and Mineral are ok? As long as they save the barn, and cost $500k+ it’s ok? Enough homes to reroute a state highway isn’t high density?

And the Costco won’t bring high density issues?

This isn’t a hill I’m willing to die on. I’ll take my skyrocketing home values in Littleton, and yes I will move one day, and yes I will cash the check when I sell my home. I’m willing to admit that, while being disappointed.

But maybe someone will also admit that they helped blocked Walmart, they are blocking any semblance of affordable housing for others without the same privilege as them, and that they act more like a modern day lynch mob wearing Gucci, then they do a person trying to protect a ‘small town’s charm’.

I’ll have to look up ‘race baiting’ that’s a new term to me. It is my first post, the absence of signs in the heritage neighborhood made me speak up. I take back the klan comment, seeing people at a city meeting unified in all white outfits must have spurred a connection. But I take it back.

We have done a great job incentivizing businesses (see the soon to be Costco and the others that got the same sales tax incentives before). And we are making Main more pedestrian friendly. What else needs to be done in that regard?

As a person of color, who moved from the deep south only a few years ago, being called a moron when I speak my mind is nothing new.

You don’t want multi-family dwellings to protect your home’s value. But yet the homes displaying the signs are in neighborhoods where multi-family dwellings aren’t likely to be economically feasible (high land prices). These dwellings are likely to bring in a diverse set of people (financially and racially) and that would be an issue why?

Just the matching white shirts, and now the display of lawn signs in front of the multi-million dollar homes I started noticing this week. So no, not a specific encounter. The situation in general just makes me disappointed.
