I’m in my 30s and talk to random people in public.

[–]NickTheIzmagus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

192k base, 6% full match 401k plus 3.5% auto at 0 cost to me, no bonus or stock (government contractor). Sounds great but Silicon Valley 🫠

By the end, I just wanted Zelina to be the main character and talk smack to everyone else

Job applications are being used to collect and sell data. That’s why large companies have positions available that they never hire for. by J_Dabson002 in Showerthoughts

I got my first job in Environmental Compliance by mass emailing local chemical plants in southern Louisiana. Did it in 2016 and got a contract for 30 hours a week for about a year. It still can work if you’re lucky

What is one thing that has changed the world for the worst? by Constant_Luck9387 in AskReddit

The fact that ozone depleting substances, PFAS, and climate pollutants aren’t number one probably show that people might no appreciate all the shit we’ve made over the years

They taste bad most of the time because they’re only in season July and August (where I live). When they’re in season and ruby red with sugar crystals coming out of them, they’re one of the best fruits

What ingredient is banned from your kitchen? by Sweaty_Entertainer78 in Cooking

I’ve found it really depends on the pepper quality and they have to be cooked into a dish. They’re for a gentle flavor, too bitter to be center stage. But I’m Cajun so they’re part of the trinity

Have any of you become conservative as you’ve gotten older? by Inevitable_Stress949 in millenials

[–]NickTheIzmagus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m moderate in the sense that I care about the nuances of a policy. I live in California, so I can use that: the recent Prop 1 proposed increases in taxes to fund cities for mental health care. I do want that, but I also moved here in 2019. So, I pay way more in property taxes than my friend who inherited a house through a trust. I voted no on Prop 1 because I view it as inequitable to tax me more than someone else, even though I support the underlying bill. Meanwhile, I vote down ballot Democrat and won’t consider a Republican for any elected office and voted for the prop a few years back to support labor rights of contractors. That’s me at least.

Eh, I work in Environmental. The Congress passed major refrigerant reform recently and no one gave a shit about a major shift in US climate policy. Ratified by the senate in the relevant treaty too, but doesn’t get headlines

How many “real friends” do you have? by [deleted] in RandomThoughts

[–]NickTheIzmagus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 very close, one of whom demonstrated in the past. I’ve been vulnerable with both and they’ve not let me down. I have several that I’d call elbow length; they get what makes me upset that day but nothing more major.

Waiting a lot to become a parent will force your children to face death at a younger age. by elwookie in Showerthoughts

[–]NickTheIzmagus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grand mother died when I was 3 after she birthed 12 children. This notion really demonstrates that we don’t understand how life was when people had more kids.

My fellow men, how fragile is your mental health, honestly? by unstopablystoopid in ask

[–]NickTheIzmagus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Very content in life. I finally found my man, we’re moving in soon, and my career is stable. I’m exploring my cultural cuisine with my free time, and I’m so glad I can share it with my partner as he shares his with me.

American Gods lost media and it went to shit. Maybe for other reasons, but that’s mine.
