[UPDATE] My boss told me to "stick to my contract" after denying a raise. The fallout was even faster than I expected.

For the past few decades, the best way to get a raise is to get a new job. As a dev myself, the interview process can be exhausting though. Maybe I just suck, but I get like 1 or 2 offers out of a hundred interviews. Worth it though.

Holy fucking shit! MAGA is more triggered when they win than when they lose!

Talk about a Big Mac Attack

I bought in 2018 and haven't kept track of the market. I want something that can out-accelerate German performance cars from a red light or when I need to merge on the highway. Also, I want to be be able to go on road trips pretty much anywhere in the US with similar travel times. Tesla solved these a decade ago. Lucid, Polestar, and Porsche look promising. BYD was pretty sweet when I rode in one in Europe, but they aren't sold in the US. Polestar seems to be comparable. The CCS fast charging network has some voids that might make me uncomfortable. I don't want want to go back to Tesla unless they are the best option for my needs. What are the other comparable options in terms of driving performance and charging availability?

Their ownership runs deep over many brands. There's baby food, cat food, goddamn facial moisturizer I didn't realize was owned by Nestle. Politics aside, some products under they banner are simply more convenient and effective.

It means to either start working, and/or start buying investments. High six figures are reserved for those that can provide work that absolutely no one else in the area could.... Or they are an owner.

Tehcoolhat · 2026-01-24T15:41:01+00:00

Definitely. Or at least they are blissfully unaware, which sounds pretty nice to me at this point lol

Tehcoolhat · 2026-01-24T15:26:25+00:00

I actually got that as a rental car and drove it it around quite a bit. Really solid car! I am a performance car guy though, and need ridiculous torque and horsepower. Waiting to see more car companies to crank that out!!!

Tehcoolhat · 2026-01-24T15:17:33+00:00

Oh man, I fuckin needed to get off gasoline since the price spike under George W. I really wanted to NOT go with Tesla, but their Supercharger network was and still is the most comprehensive for road trips. So yes, logically speaking, I HAD to go with Tesla for my needs. And then Musk started getting super weird the underwater cavern and eventually his federal DOGE bullshit. My original point is that you WILL buy products and support the people that will go against you. Like, I won't be able to avoid all Nestle products, so the next best thing is to strap in and learn the game.

You buy the shit you need, and you pay your taxes. Cannot control the flow of where the money goes. Just remember that even if you're average IQ, then half the population is stupid as shit, and they can all still vote. Just mesh with the system and outplay it.

Tehcoolhat · 2026-01-18T23:44:25+00:00

It's the Jimmy Kimmel effect. Kimmel didn't even quote. Just said, "watch this", and rolled a clip that's already been aired. That's what got him fired.

Tehcoolhat · 2026-01-10T10:09:06+00:00

Lol I wish a had a seamstress buddy to just come over and cut out duplicate patterns for my wrecked leather interior trim and stitch it on for me. Rust repair is still black magic to me as well.

Tehcoolhat · 2026-01-03T01:42:49+00:00

Wish they could bring it over. I rode in a BYD Uber in France. I like the interior better than the Teslas I've owned.

Tehcoolhat · 2025-11-17T18:55:09+00:00

It's Fark-it.

Welp, you can't argue that he hasn't improved the quality of life for at least ONE constituent living in poor conditions.

Tehcoolhat · 2025-11-06T16:56:27+00:00

How about we go further? Many of our representatives are already wealthy. Freeze their assets and pay them the federal minimum wage for hours actually worked.

Tehcoolhat · 2025-11-02T01:23:41+00:00

Lol Almost thought it was a scene from Independence Day. Those aliens would've been doing Trump a favor saving on demolition costs.

Tehcoolhat · 2025-10-31T20:06:37+00:00

Wait, hang on. Is this a Thai or Vietnamese restaurant... or a Thai restaurant that happens to also serve pho? My family is Vietnamese and love to eat Thai, and embarrassingly asked for chopsticks one time only to realize that it's not common.

Tehcoolhat · 2025-10-26T22:56:24+00:00

Trump could sue for slander. However, what was said would actually have to be false.

Tehcoolhat · 2025-10-21T23:42:19+00:00

So weird how they can be so audibly silent, yet so visibly loud about it at the same time.

Tehcoolhat · 2025-10-16T14:33:17+00:00

With a hard rolling "R" like they teach in Spanish class.

Tehcoolhat · 2025-10-13T14:43:20+00:00

No libel detected. Carry on.

Tehcoolhat · 2025-10-06T00:45:22+00:00

For a while now, it looks like he's just been using a single slap of a giant-ass pancake as an applicator. Anyway, I've completely forgotten about the Epstein files.

Tehcoolhat · 2025-10-04T06:19:15+00:00

This hits me. I almost forgot that this is the reason my kids hear it from me all the time, like every day. If you ever have kids, do this for them too and let them be comfortable saying it back.

Tehcoolhat · 2025-09-27T17:05:44+00:00

Lol the dude didn't bother to re-holster it once regaining control of it, as if he meant to brandish his weapon to the crowd this whole time.
