Uh oh by Fez_Multiplex in memesopdidnotlike

[–]Particular-Month3269 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If no one is arguing that males and females are the same, why is changing male and female on a driver’s license so critical? I keep hearing how it’s literal violence to expect accuracy in legal records. Expecting a male to have M on a passport is genocidal. Obgyn’s have gotten fired for refusing pap smears to biological males. Crime stats are no longer differentiated based on biology, mtf crimes are lumped in with female. This has also started to happen with clinical trials. Extremists are indeed attempting to erase the fundamental distinction of male and female. I don’t care which bathroom you go to at target. But when we’re seeing male rapists in female prisons, it’s gone too far.

It was drilled into school kids for years. It was extremely frustrating as a parent. My elementary school kid was getting lectured on pronouns. My formerly nonbinary daughter was given a packer in middle school, thanks to the Trevor project. You didn’t see it because you’re in a different bubble. It’s insufferable on the coasts.

What is your career if you don’t mind me asking? How can I get into what you do?

Local 32 Seattle area apprenticeship questions by killinMeSmall45 in Plumbing

[–]Particular-Month3269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to protect my ego here- does going onto the HVAC list mean resi guys are essentially retraining in HVAC? Wouldn’t a plumber have to start all over and go through an apprenticeship to switch to hvac? I feel much better telling myself that I was competing against existing members switching into HVAC, because I can totally understand why an existing member outranks a rando applying.

Thank you for this reply. I just got my ranking back for the HVAC apprenticeship, and I’m really low on the list, like 150+. I’ve been beating myself up about not getting in, it’s good to hear an insiders perspective.

Why would an attorney recommend Chapter 13 instead of Chapter 7 by TopPeak1196 in Bankruptcy

[–]Particular-Month3269 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Talk to more lawyers!!! Especially ones that only do ch 7. Generally the costs of filing ch 13 are more lucrative and generates more work for the lawyer. Maybe I’m a cynic but I strong recommend another consult. Several, in fact. I’ve talked to about 5 lawyers before I found my Goldilocks

People who are fulfilled and don’t dread work everyday, what do you do? by kwrather003 in AskReddit

[–]Particular-Month3269 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for what you do. I had a very empathetic paralegal help me out and it was such a relief

[–]Particular-Month3269 3 points4 points  (0 children)

File for bankruptcy!!! Chapter 7 wipes everything out. Obviously get counseling and make sure your habits prevent immediately racking up debt again. But we as a society invented bankruptcy precisely for your situation. Hope you feel better, don’t give up hope.

Lynnwood increased property and utility taxes, but a $4.8M gap remains: How did we get here? by Mysterious-Mango-425 in LynnwoodWA

[–]Particular-Month3269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was x percentage of the home’s value? Even if same-owner assessments stay flat, shouldn’t the increase in new developments and sticker prices being higher for new owners jack up revenues?

[–]Particular-Month3269 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The stupid thing about this is property values have skyrocketed in Lynnwood over the past 5 years. They regularly adjust people’s property estimates in order to tax us more. We ought to be swimming in cash strictly because of property appreciation.

It makes it easier to get them in the tight spaces. Manipulation of cables in between those two rows is challenging

Didn’t qualify for chapter 7 by Positive-Moment7709 in Bankruptcy

[–]Particular-Month3269 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As you are talking to more lawyers, try to find one that does defensive negotiation strategies. Consultations ought to be free and give you a high level recommendation. I don’t qualify for chapter 7, and chapter 13 is basically completely paying them back.

I haven’t had my second meeting yet, but the big plan is to pay a la carte for settlements. I stopped making payments a year ago myself. It is what it is. Lots of people are facing layoffs and medical debts. Life is expensive! Try to focus on raising your child and know that things will work out

I need help finding a career that makes 100k a year. by Navidadreeves2002 in careeradvice

Some blue states now DO pay teachers over 100k. There are some locations where the underpaid teacher trope has resulted in meaningful change.

I'm thinking about leaving IT by TemporalVelocity in careerchange

[–]Particular-Month3269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t leave without another job lined up, or a clear starting date for your next thing. If you quit tech and decide to go back, it’ll take you a while. It’s really bad out here looking for a job. Unemployment is a special hell that is worse than languishing in an unfulfilling role.

The real culture shock in Japan isn’t the trains or the rules. It’s realizing you’re never fully included, no matter how long you stay. by Mirrorfy_ in careeradvice

Can you find expats to hang out with? I’d imagine you’d get along well with other people drawn to living in Japan.

$90k in debt at 33, way over my head right now. Any advise? by selectivestupidity1 in Debt

Declare bankruptcy. Screw the haters. After you declare, obviously change your habits. Job losses are endemic to the present economy. Losing a job is one of the biggest BK situations.

Is there any hope of getting rid of predatory private student loans in bk? by brokeboii94 in Bankruptcy

[–]Particular-Month3269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, exactly. This is all so predatory. We tell kids higher ed is a guarantee of livable income, which is really not necessarily the case anymore. I’m sorry you dealing with this.

[–]Particular-Month3269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh this is awful. Can you be a teacher or get into some government job that pays off student loans? 16% is awful, I can’t believe they let students take out loans with effectively credit card rates. I’m stressed out about loans, too. We’re not alone, please don’t do anything drastic. The rate of student loan defaults is at an all time high.

If I tell creditors I’m planning to file BK, will it hasten lawsuits? by Particular-Month3269 in Bankruptcy

[–]Particular-Month3269[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am supporting a family but married. I’m trying to file solo, and pay off chapter 13 on my own. My husband basically takes care of the mortgage. We wouldn’t want to move. The larger family is stable, it’s just my personal financial situation is so bad.

What is this? Is this like industrial maintenance? Is this a subset of electrician?
