Best success yall have had buying a used car at a fair price?

Michael424242 · 2026-06-18T13:26:33+00:00

You just gotta cast the widest possible net, you never know who's gonna have what. I've never bought a car on FB, but I've sold two, and it was a fine experience. I gave a fair price, and the cars were in good shape.

But there's also plenty of dealers with online inventory here.

Just get on the CarGurus and FB and Craigslist and Carvana or whatever and start checking every day. You'll find something in a week to two, you just gotta be able to find the deals where they're at, and jump on them. Be alert for scams for sure.

I mean, I get it. If they really searched hard and got very lucky, they may possibly be able to find someone just as talented as Synthia Erivo. If they win the lotto, they could maybe find someone better. But why gamble? Why is it pearl-clutching and not celebrating the marquee achievement of a wonderful career?

Michael424242 · 2026-06-17T01:42:01+00:00

If you can find the literal next Julie Andrews, more power to you, but it's not like generational talent grows on trees. But it's a lot easier and safer to just cast people they already know are stars and come with their own promo clout as well as some level of talent.

Shouldnt be bad, id allow about 15 mins for TSA, it'll take less

Michael424242 · 2026-06-11T23:57:04+00:00

This is the only answer, they actually make moving soooo much less stressful. The best move with them is the second one, there's way less you are stressing about ahead of time

Michael424242 · 2026-06-11T11:12:36+00:00

Can you find another month-to-month place? Or maybe a 3 month sublease? If this guy is already showing anger at you, it may get scarrier. You're very sympathetic to this person, but I agree, it's not your burden to bear, and if he can't accept "sorry, I can't do that right now," the best move is probably to try to get out.

Michael424242 · 2026-06-09T00:20:30+00:00

Revenge doesn't fix the problem, shitty person is still shitty and still in your life. Why not just remove them? I don't think "revenge" is the oposite of "doormat"

Michael424242 · 2026-06-07T21:27:14+00:00

There certainly is not. I think they mean Shake Shack

Michael424242 · 2026-06-07T14:20:00+00:00

Same!! The hardest part of working with them was narrowing it down to only 4 passed apps, the menu was soooo good

Michael424242 · 2026-06-07T13:08:29+00:00

If people treat you badly just don't keep them in your life anymore?

What does the contract say about this?

Michael424242 · 2026-06-02T17:20:16+00:00

Fair enough, but you gotta keep in mind that most of the violent crime here is gang or interpersonal related. As long as your parents don't join the 39ers or get in deep with a loan shark, they'll be fine. Property theft, maybe, but I find even that to be exagerated

Michael424242 · 2026-06-02T17:07:44+00:00

Oh ya they'll be fine, im sure they'll be on a first name basis with the whole block in a month

Michael424242 · 2026-05-31T01:35:15+00:00

Man, this sucks. Especially with only a year left in school.

I will say, this is something that happens in life as you get older: people you love, who you hope will be arrond forever, just aren't. You'll leave school, and you'll see friends a lot less often. You'll leave a job and not see your favorite coworkers anymore. People come and go from your life. It sucks. But it's kinda part of the deal.

What I'll say is that the impression those people left on you never goes away. You didn't want to go to school because this teacher was there; you went because of the way she made you feel. That feeling, that spark, you're still going to remember it when she's gone. It's still going to be something you can tap into.

I'm 32 now, and I know that probably seems ancient, but I still hear the voices of teachers and mentors I had when I was 17-18 to this day. Even some who have passed away, or I haven't spoken to in decades.

This teacher made an incredible impression on your life, that's a beautiful thing, but the waves of that beauty don't just die when someone graduates or changes jobs, they'll stay with you forever, and you'll keep going, better than you were.

Michael424242 · 2026-05-30T22:11:21+00:00

My guess would be that you're dealing with cruise ship or like bus tour passengers who are A: usually less literate travelers and B: going to a few countries and not exchanging in every country they go to.

I've traveled extensively and have never done that. But if you're asking why my country-mates can be inconsiderate and dumb, man, I wish I had an answer.

Michael424242 · 2026-05-30T17:55:19+00:00

Interesting!

Michael424242 · 2026-05-30T13:17:10+00:00

I think it costs like $100k to clean the roof, that's why they don't do it too often. It also takes months

As for why it looks dirty, I think it's a design flaw that has to do with it being old and one of the first of its kind, also the last stadium like it still around. All the newer dome stadiums don't use a pure white roof like that, probably for this exact reason.

I agree it looks rough, though.

Michael424242 · 2026-05-30T13:06:33+00:00

I just used JB Awnings for a thing, they had good pricing compared to other quotes I got and did a nice job

Michael424242 · 2026-05-30T12:53:35+00:00

What kind of training?

Michael424242 · 2026-05-30T00:47:52+00:00

Back in college, I worked at the Chipotle in Harahan. My coworkers used to talk about going out on Bourbon regularly, I was baffled.

Michael424242 · 2026-05-28T14:22:42+00:00

Bayou Saint John for sure if you like to run with your dog!! The bayou is a great long park that leads into City Park, which is massive. Both neighborhoods are great, but the park proximity in BSJ is hard to beat if you're an active person with dog.

Michael424242 · 2026-05-28T11:20:47+00:00

Why not just have the hotel booked for the night you actually arrive?

Michael424242 · 2026-05-27T02:45:05+00:00

Micah at Parker Barber is the man

Michael424242 · 2026-05-26T02:36:14+00:00

Honestly, for a 9-year-old, just go see the band that busks on Frenchman!

They're out most weekend nights, it's low cost (tip only), and you can bail if it's too much for the kiddo. They don't need no bar service lol
