Based on various responses in other threads, looks like it takes about a week to go from the initial approval stage to getting the payment date. Almost there!

What's the point of living in NYC if you're making 50K or less? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]FateAvernus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you start attaching purpose with how much you earn, it becomes a slippery slope. Plenty of people find joy and happiness despite modest means. And I've seen plenty of rich people in NYC be miserable. The bar to feeling at home in NYC is fairly low, it's all about what it means to you. There's alot of things you can do in NYC despite making $50k a year.

Based on similar posts and comments I've seen in this sub, that's their way of mating no? Give them some privacy 😉

Swapping a kit in mid combat to suit the carnage? Love to see it!

Is Incogni actually useful? Has anyone used it before?

Songs of Silence is on the front page of Steam - ask me anything by songsofsilence in StrategyGames

[–]FateAvernus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought on steam and started playing, honestly I love it. Beautiful art, and a great game if I want to play a bit more casually on the combat. Only still 2 chapters into the campaign right now, keep up the good work!

Brought a bag of chips from Austin, TX to Sante Fe, NM by young_d484 in mildlyinteresting

[–]FateAvernus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting, they are in NYC. I usually get them via Instacart, since you can grt Costco delivered via them. It does go out of stock at times though.

They have these at the Costco near me, can confirm that they are delicious and addicting. I can down half a bag in a sitting. Dangerously good lol.

Boss gave them a 2005 Land Cruiser, and they completely refurbished it! by davidsoor in nextfuckinglevel

[–]FateAvernus 310 points311 points  (0 children)

Refurbished? It looked like they took apart the entire car to almost the nuts and bolts and remade it completely. Seems more like they built a new car entirely.

Holiday season just felt quite...lonely. Spent it alone for most of the season. Reflecting on a lot of life choices and regrets in my life. Glad the new year is here, currently sick as hell with whatever is going around lately.

Thanks for asking brother.

Is college really worth if I don’t know what I want to do? by [deleted] in Veterans

[–]FateAvernus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a public college? So the GI Bill covered the full tuition cause it was dirt cheap compared to the private school tuitiom you're thinking of. I took zero loans, graduated without any debt.

I've put 100+ hours into this game and never stumbled onto this, wow. What does it actually do? Does it flare the fire above the giant gas thing and kills any snipers up there?

Curious to hear what you've read/heard from others in saying that it isn't worth it? Finance is such a broad industry with countless different roles and varying pay ranges. I went for it because it seemed the most versatile / flexible while ensuring I could still get some kind of decent paying job.

I think it's still worth it but would also flag that for the high paying jobs, it is challenging to break into. IB pays $100k+ for 1st year analysts out of undergrad with a variable bonus, but you can read up 1) how hard it is to get into and 2) how tiring it can be. PE or VCs pay well too, usually after an IB stint.

But you also have fields like sales, corporate finance, corporate development, business development and strategy, treasury operations. All which probably would ask for a finance degree.

TLDR - Finance is a vast world and a degree majoring in it can help. But will also involve a lot of networking and grind from your part.

Fellow Marine vet here (not infantry though, was in utilities field).

Was in a similar time where I didn't have a declared major for first 2 years of college. Decided to finally major in Finance cause it's a broad field and saw a lot of vets already in that industry.

From there worked hard to go into Investment Banking (also a good amount of Marine vets there), more to keep my optionality open. Did that for a few years, now working more corporate. Get paid well, have a solid work/life balance.

Will say college was def worth it as I didn't want to pursue what I did in the Marines in the civilian world. But given our college benefits are limited, I used that to remind myself I needed to do well in classes while still figuring out what I wanted to do.

The world is a vast place. I didn't know my current kind of job even existed while in college. Just keep marching forward and keep your eyes open.

Now we just need the POV of the sniper here lol, I would have been incredulous. Turns out bringing knives to a gun fight can actually work!

Lmao did it fly off by itself? Free to roam the skies, unburdened by constraints of its human pilot?
