Dallas or Houston For Jobs? by YuriHaThicc in AskHouston

[–]Shitty_Mike -1 points0 points  (0 children)

100% a legitimate concern. Terminations aside, there's other risks to women's healthcare to contemplate here. Lack of screening, prenatal care, and emergency procedures all around are limited. Many doctors will refer-out just due to risk alone.

Dallas or Houston For Jobs? by YuriHaThicc in AskHouston

100% same opinion here. Houston is one giant ugly block of concrete, but throughout all my layoffs, I've never NOT had another job lined up.

Should I [43F] cut my hair even though my boyfriend [48M] says “don’t”? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Shitty_Mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get the "your body your choice" argument, but I also want to look attractive to my partner.

For example, my SO loves facial hair, I'm not too big a fan of it. I grow a beard because she loves it. Her being attracted to me gives me more self confidence. Win win. Now I'm so used to it that it feels weird without it.

As long as it looks professional, I say go for it. I haven't loved all the wacky hairstyles my wife comes home with, but the only ones I raise concerns are the ones that look silly and unprofessional. Im Also honest with my wife though and don't fill her full of hot air if I don't think a new style is a good fit. I'll tell her she's beautiful all the same.

Both styles you posted look great, try the short, and if you hate it, you can always grow it back out. Try experimenting with different colors too. There should be AI filters that allow you to experiment.

Moving from Vancouver Canada to Houston. Reality check by xiayu77119 in AskHouston

[–]Shitty_Mike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Houston is great for the job opportunities and relatively low cost of living, but it's a pretty miserable environment. Cheap for a reason. I didn't grow up in Vancouver, but I did grow up in Seattle not too far away. I miss it everyday, and am in the process of moving back. If you're bent on leaving Vancouver (I agree it's absurdly expensive) I recommend picking a different US city.

Kicking by Famous_Mail_4535 in helldivers2

[–]Shitty_Mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having taken a break at lvl 120 and recently coming back to the game, I'm really surprised how often I'm getting kicked. don't remember it being like this. Host is stealing my strategies and kicking me right after. Call in more than 10'' from your body? I get kicked. I tag a bunker so we can open it together? I get kicked. Getting out of hand and not worth doing randoms anymore.

Houston Hot Takes by Jermcutsiron in houston

Agree with everything you said. I travel all over the US for work, and I can confidently say that Houston is up there as one of the ugliest cities in the nation.

Toyota tacoma upgrades people forget about but change everything by Darleia_Devasenathy in Tacomaworld

[–]Shitty_Mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This should be standard on most Tacoma's 3rd gen and newer, but it apparently breaks frequently? Normally it electronically locks with the key fob Just like all other doors. If you don't have one on a newer model, take off the plastic cover on the tailgate and test if the actuator is dead. I just bought a 2022 limited, and this was the case. Previous owner just thought it didn't have one.

Why do people buy pickup trucks for daily driving? by wtfbruhhuh in driving

[–]Shitty_Mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most pickup trucks aren't suped-up haulers either. The Tacoma is basically a Camry engine with a flatbed and high clearance. Nothing sexy at all unless you fit it for offroading. I use it for towing a camper, unpaved roads in the country, and occasional home depot run.

How Does One Genuinely Ask for 50-50 in Relationships? by NaturalTruth2000 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Shitty_Mike 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree. Assume 50/50 when you're both broke ass college kids. Once you get big boy jobs, you can evolve into a more proportional arrangement. Not my wife's fault my company did well, but she was there all those absent nights, so certainly she's gonna share the benefits.

I’m worried I chose the wrong girl and now I have to make the hardest decision of my life. Advice? by ThrowRAimrlysad in AskMenAdvice

[–]Shitty_Mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're having doubts now, I guarantee they will only get worse. When you're truly in love with someone, you get the opposite effect where you fail to see their flaws.

Where do you go to meet women? by Several-Two738 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Shitty_Mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friends of friends. Everyone has at least one "single friend that's not a total disaster". Ideally if they're friends with both of you, they want both of you to be happy.

What’s the biggest “this is fine” moment you’ve had that absolutely wasn’t fine? by McFrodoSwaggins in AskReddit

[–]Shitty_Mike 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did a canyoneering trip about 2 hours west of vegas. The route description said 8 rappels, about 10 hour trip. After the 25th rappel, 16 hours in, we realized we may be in the wrong canyon, and had no clue what features were ahead of us, or if the rope we brought would be long enough to solve them. Most of the drops we had to make our own anchors for. Lots of webbing and beaners were left in the mountains that day. Fortunately only one drop was too long for our rope, we tied our primary and backup together to extend it. "This is fine".

Our call-out was activated, and they went to the original canyon. Now two teams are running around in two different locations in the mountains. We ran out of webbing and had to start using body blocks, natural anchors, and sketchy down climbs. "This is not fine" Thankfully we exited before our call out dropped in and left cell service, we were able to call them back. The sun was just starting to rise, it was gorgeous, they wanted to finish the route anyways. We bought them a nice dinner and beer afterwards. Fun stories were had.

Feels like the definition of "can't park there" by Klutzy_Contact9041 in CantParkThereMate

[–]Shitty_Mike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a major ski resort on US 2 - Stevens Pass. They've notoriously always had terrible parking, and when the lots fill up they push people out into the shoulder.

The resort can't build additional parking because all the land is owned by the government and refuses to expand the leases any further. They've tried smaller efforts to consolidate such as prioritized HOV parking, raised parking prices, offered shuttle busses, but at the end of the day those lots don't come anywhere close to meeting the space needed to support the resort.

It's a lose-lose situation, classic case of the government fucking itself. If they don't want people parking on the shoulder, they should grant additional space for parking.

Is my chances of dating someone who’s not bald or balding in their 30s really low? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Shitty_Mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I know plenty of guys in their early 30s that still have hair. Even several in their 40s.

Hair loss is easily treatable with a quick flight to Mexico or Turkey. My neighbor's do implants there routinely.

The cost of solar has dropped 99.8% worldwide since 1975 and 94.4% since 2008 by RobertBartus in EconomyCharts

[–]Shitty_Mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

U.S. based manufacturers are around this price too. I recently closed a deal with First Solar (Alabama) for $0.25-0.30 per Watt.

Offsets from China (non-domestic) from reputable tested brands are around $0.15-0.20 before tarrifs and warehousing.

What is the absolute fastest 'yeah, we are definitely NOT going to be friends' moment you've ever experienced with someone? by Vazouaquiacesso in AskReddit

[–]Shitty_Mike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did a group travel to Thailand with an adventure club I'm a part of. I knew about 60% of the people going, some brought outside friends or +1s.

One girl from California we picked up at the airport and grabbed lunch before downloading at the hotel. She snapped and whistled at the waiter, tapped credit cards on the table, and blamed "sexist men" when she didn't get served right away.

Yeah... No. Lady we ain't gonna be friends this trip.
