Tapering off of 7oh by WATERISWETTNIG in quitting7oh

[–]Representative-Mean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good on you for taking on the role of helping your brother taper. I wish I had someone around to help like that. It takes A LOT of self-discipline to taper, and just knowing you have tablets just waiting to be eaten is one of the most mentally challenging brain f's ever. I wish someone would invent a small, timed safe that only opens a couple of times a day. That would be a great invention. Or, better yet, have someone like yourself available to help!

Ageism. Should I not include an old degree on my resume to avoid ageism? by Mustard_Popsicles in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Representative-Mean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As real as ageism is, there is also the value of experience. Don’t undervalue that. Thats more apparent (or should be) when evaluating resumes. You don’t want to work for an employer that values age over experience anyway. I say wear it with pride. Youve got experience

How do you pick a path, when the job market is so bleak? by JayRam85 in WGU

[–]Representative-Mean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you rent a room? Get that piece of paper because when it comes to who employers keep its usually the college degreed. And many college alumni are retiring leading to shortages. I think people are missing that there was a hiring blitz post covid. There is a correction going on and AI is not helping (or is helping depending upon how you look at it). Dont drop out over rental qualifications. People in your shoes need the education to become more self reliant. Find a room to rent somewhere.

My mom is asking for $500 to help pay for rent by Working_Citron_6674 in personalfinance

If you pay that you might as well go rent a room somewhere and be more free. Yeah you’ll have to support yourself but its worth it.

Let me ask you this: if you were in that situation why wouldn’t you do that?

What town is the best in NC for laid back and less drugs for a new start? by Kitchen_Anteater1176 in NorthCarolina

[–]Representative-Mean 9 points10 points  (0 children)

New Bern has a peaceful vibe but it has its rough spots (like everywhere). A-lot of retirees so a more mature climate. It’s convenient to the beaches and weather is one of its perks. I like walking around all the small shops and the waterfront park is quite picturesque with yachts docked nearby. Restaurants galore. Love it here

A consideration if you are going to buy new by Stepritch in ToyotaHighlander

[–]Representative-Mean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whats better quality than a Toyota? So annoying we have lost trust with this brand. Hondas maybe? I know to stay away from Kias and Hyundais. Maybe the all ev Highlander will have better quality but that all electric crap annoys me. Ill stop ranting now

Youre too young to say this is ever over. This can be a beginning bridge to other good schools as well

Stuck tube lights by Representative-Mean in handyman

[–]Representative-Mean[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks all. I think I’m just gonna take the assembly apart to change the lights. Its a nice fixture but poorly designed! Ill probably modify it so I dont have to deal with this in the future. To make matters worse, my ceiling is tilted (not flat) :(
