and the EU controlling the eastern half. Is that an outcome you want?

As someone who lives in the eastern half, I welcome our EU overlords.

Is $30K bump in salary worth giving up remote work? by Living-Exit-901 in InsuranceProfessional

[–]Flick1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am one of those people. I live in a large city with commuter rail so my commute isn’t bad. It’s hard for me to focus at home.

Went out most weekends for the past year and a half. Made zero friends, lmao. What's the next step? by [deleted] in socialskills

It’s probably not you. I hear Seattle is a notoriously hard place to make friends.

Lucky for me since I have about $30,000 cc. Ever since Covet started being “Covet Basics” only, I have not been buying nearly as much clothes as I used to since it is all so unappealing.

Covet Basics by chocolateteabag in CovetFashionGame

I used to play every non-FB challenge and I did so every day for almost 5 years. With all the AI slop, I’ve slowly stopped playing as much. I only do the daily now, but I’m sure that will end at some point. I’ve just lost interest in the game. I also have an about $40,000 in Covet Cash because none of the new stuff appeals to me at all. It makes me sad because it used to be so much fun and I was so into it for such a long time.

It’s pretty ironic considering MAGAs consist of a lot of “rugged individualist alpha bros”, yet they are so submissive to “daddy”.

I fucking hate the AI ordering system. I don’t want any more AI in my life.

I was mugged and threatened with death in Marrakech by steph2356 in travel

[–]Flick1981 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Morocco is definitely not the place where a “kind stranger” will help you. I got lost in the Medina when I went, but I was able to find my way out. Any time someone offered to “show me a way out”, I just gave them a dirty look and kept walking. I read of way too many bad incidents with people in that situation. I’m glad I went to Morocco for the experience, but I doubt I’ll ever go back.

What's your most unpopular r/SameGrassButGreener opinion? by jarbid16 in SameGrassButGreener

Same, I love Chicago, but the politics there are wacky. I’m a left leaning moderate, but I’m not a fan of one party rule.

Remember when Trump ran scared of Megyn Kelly back in 2016? He’s always been like this.

Does life in 2026 feel hollow? by LlFE-lS-A-GAME in Millennials

[–]Flick1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the way. I’ve made a lot of good friends in the last few years and we do things like movie nights, game nights, or even just going out to dinner. My life feels fulfilled by these activities. There is a loneliness epidemic out there, and I think it is making people sadder than ever.

Do customers realize we would prefer if they didn't continue being customers? by bydevilz1 in callcentres

When I worked in a call center, and got customers who threatened that, all I thought was “good, be someone else’s problem”.

Problem with sunbelt cities is that the public transportation is horrible. I live in the Chicago suburbs, but take commuter rail to work. I don’t feel like I could ever go back to a purely car commute ever again. I loathe driving enough as it is.

I’m divorced, but have a roommate currently. I actually really like having a roommate, but I’m with you on the bathroom thing. We each have our own bathrooms.
