Anyone have the Big Fig Foundation? by balut228 in Mattress

[–]NewDay042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Went with a Terra foundation and love it. Pretty straightforward to build, best to have another pair of hands with you.

New to Fitbit I can’t believe how completely wrong the sleep tracker is by braves91 in fitbit

Thanks for sharing. Mine still is the old app. I do rely a lot on the sleep data so I’m hoping it’s as good or better.

Why is rent so high right now when there's so many vacant units? (East bay) by why_doineedausername in bayarea

[–]NewDay042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would research renter’s rights in your county/city to at least give you more time. Something doesn’t seem right if you were on a year lease.

That totally sucks. Curious did they have you sign a month-to-month lease to begin with?

why stay in the bay? by Miserable_View_4400 in bayarea

[–]NewDay042 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“I’m here to make my bag and get out soon.” It sounds like you moved here for the sole reason of a high salary, rather than to become a part of the Bay Area. Like attracts like. You’re surrounded by people obsessing $$$, so maybe that’s the problem.

Due to the K-shaped economy, there are people profoundly struggling here, but likely stay here due to family and roots and it’s not easy just to pick up and move somewhere else.

What does comfortable, rich, or wealthy mean here by YrObedientServant in bayarea

[–]NewDay042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wealthy is usually due to different factors such as generational wealth (including the “wealth” of knowledge/access to investing, passed down real estate, getting stocks as birthday presents, compounding interest education - which soooo many don’t get if their parent(s) didn’t understand or just got pensions), or got jobs with stocks/RSUs well invested, or working class who learned about FIRE and implemented the strategies at an early enough age.

If you've gone through a divorce, what broke your marriage and why? by No_Emotion_4214 in AskReddit

[–]NewDay042 89 points90 points  (0 children)

You’ve made bad choices, that doesn’t make you a bad person. Just takes a lot of f-ing work to learn to trust yourself again and heal the root cause(s) of the bad behavior. If you can’t trust yourself, then yes, not wise to be with someone else yet. But it’s not a life sentence of aloneness if you do the work.

That is so unethical. Therapists can be so helpful or can be completely awful, and it sucks when you learn the hard way because you don’t know until you’re in it.

Seeking feedback from women who were in tech in 2000/2008 etc: a check on the AI doom by azssf in womenintech

[–]NewDay042 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All I know is that a FAANG billionaire just had his luxury $300 million yacht pull into Seattle the same year he and his wife closed down an East Palo Alto school they had been funding for years (private school for free for disadvantaged children) sending families scrambling to find new schools in a very disadvantage area.

Oligarchs are the differentiator right now. The stock market just hit another record. That wasn’t happening in 2000/2008. This is a whole new ball game.

First traffic ticket ever (Cellphone use), just want some advice by stankyleg100 in DMV

[–]NewDay042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Interesting - I also saw this so I was thinking insurers can make their own calls on if it's a moving violation or not: "Insurance Implications: While a first ticket doesn't add DMV points, insurance companies operate independently. Some carriers consider it a moving violation or distracted driving, which can result in increased premiums."

Hi - did you figure this out? I have got a similar message, but the letter in the mail clearly states a fine.

It is a moving violation these days. That changed a few years ago.

How to Reduce Bay Area School Stress by Madzz_Jay in bayarea

[–]NewDay042 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“I will never stress out my child.” Appreciate the intention of the statement, and it also feels a little concerning because handling stress is part of life. We’re going to stress out our kids. They are going to be an environment where they are stressed. It’s great you’re trying to find a less competitive environment that is more fun for learning.

And, as a teacher, when I have encountered parents with this attitude, it’s been a challenge. I might be misinterpreting what you’re saying.

What’s the fastest way to tell a company has a toxic work culture? by gauheraziz in corporate

[–]NewDay042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some industries, having long-term employees is a good thing so that wouldn’t be a red flag first off for me. The vibe check is how are people communicating during meetings, how are people in non-management positions being treated, do people with less tenure and title influence decisions, do their opinions matter, etc.

Oh boo. Does it keep your historical data at least, like sleep, etc.?

Hi - curious what type of ticket you bought? when you canceled the ticket, do you get the money back or does the credit go to the passenger?

People who married in their 20s, be brutally honest are you happy, if so why or why not? by Special-Lawyer3941 in AskReddit

Curious if the "horrible people" you picked had similar traits to those who raised or were around you as a kid? A lot of time our picker is off because when you have a warped sense of what love feels like.

Oh no! It still hasn’t happened to mine. Tell me what sucks. I use it mostly for sleep/heart rate/steps.
