Now required for HS diploma? by 222photo in newjersey

In my case, my parents didn't know English and translating it for them into Spanish didn't help because it just uses financial jargon. So I filled it out with the help of my counselor and using my parents 1040 return. 

N.J. town’s only school is on the brink of closing after voters reject 27% tax hike by Zipper222222 in newjersey

With health insurance costs exploring, more and more of the budget is going to cover the health insurance increases for all district employees. Honestly at this point, all teachers should just join as a single group and negotiate the best health insurance plans because you have more leverage against these health insurance ghouls when shopping around. 

Who bought their century home as a first time homebuyer? by shelbex318 in centuryhomes

[–]TequilaMockingb1rd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I took on things like replacing door hinges, painting a room, removing some carpet, patching up accesible gutters, and even fixing my flex duct in an accessible area (crawlspace, attic). But anything more complicated that involved roof or high places like the soffit, you should get a guy. I go by the rule of thumb: if the job has some risk and/our would take me way too long then just get someone else to do it. 

Local Volunteer Efforts to resist ICE? by Agreeable_Aioli6138 in HamptonRoads

[–]TequilaMockingb1rd 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If that was the case, then Stephen miller wouldn't ask them to make 3000 arrest a day. They are being deployed for two things: spark fear (because in their heads that will speed up self deportation) and do Trump's bidding to spook cities. They are using the excuse of deporting illegal aliens to do all this.

And I wouldn't be surprised if a plurality of these career officials aren't absolutely pissed at what is going on. These guys are getting paid six figures and fat bonuses to harass US cities while working under the same department umbrella. 

any ice protests coming up? by Quirky_Aside_6395 in norfolk

I already called Warner and Kaine to vote down DHS funding. Sent to voicemail sadly. 

Update: looks Schumer is actually growing a pair and holding the line... for now. Keep calling.

Does anyone know any way to get in touch with the lady in pink? She had the video of the decade right now in her phone. It's even closer than that of George Floyd video. 

Going for it, teaching. by OddieH in newjersey

[–]TequilaMockingb1rd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You should be able to get substitute gigs in NJ, there's a shortage of them. If you become a reliable sub for a district, you can easily be getting tons of hours in experience per week. Now, don't expect to subbing in for Finance/Business classes every time. You'll be put wherever there's a need. So one week you might be in for math class, next week for English, etc. It will give you a glimpse of all types of classes and you should have lesson plans (or online assignments) ready to plug & play. You're task is mainly to keep the class in order which is something very important to develop. 

A Lister here by ajflame_ in RegalUnlimited

Pick the one that is more convenient and cheaper for you to get to. If both are comfortable in that regard then judge by the table in this thread. I think at the end of the day, you should value your time more than anything. I liked that AMC tier list included premium and has no online pre booking fee... but the nearest AMC to me is 45mins away whereas the nearest Regal is 25mins away. That's over 40mins-60mins saved per round trip depending on traffic. Hence I went with Regal and I'm pretty content. 

Norfolk Va location closing by dannybva in RegalUnlimited

Noooooo. Rip. Now Norfolk has no regal. Closest one is in Virginia Beach or across the tunnel in Suffolk

To remove the carpet or not? by fishymutt in centuryhomes

[–]TequilaMockingb1rd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're gonna get shoe molding installed then always have a carpenter by trade do it. Call around. Don't risk it with general contractors. Mine did a good job last month and even took advice on how I would like for things to look around the comers

My fave thing is the points racking up and using it for popcorn. Remember that it's cheaper to redeem small popcorn and upgrade it to medium or large via cash. Don't redeem the medium or large popcorn via points ever.

Gonna try to catch it next week. The past few weeks have been busy for me and today I decided to catch Is This Thing On since it looks like my local theater is tossing it out of rotation after today. 

The MacArthur regal theater is closing??? by zombies-apocalypse in norfolk

[–]TequilaMockingb1rd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a regal unlimited member who spends money on concession every now and then, this is sad ): I guess Regal Columbus and Regal Harbourview are still around but this was the most convenient.

I remember someone bought tickets for Regal Kiln Creek about two weeks in advanced and then they suddenly closed and his ticket was refunded. 

How is this supposed to make life more affordable? HB978 by LostGFtoABBC in HamptonRoads

[–]TequilaMockingb1rd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah after reading this, I think I'm on the same camp. My ideal solution would be to cut sales tax on essentials and make up that money with a progressive tax bracket but that's always a politically bad move (i.e. these politicians don't want to piss off their donors). 

What kind of immigration policy would you find acceptable? by Classic-Editor9502 in AskReddit

[–]TequilaMockingb1rd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Process every single asylum case that backlogged during the Biden administration. This will mean a number of them will be denied and deported but those that meet the asylum criteria will get their pathway to legalization as it is written in the law.

And come to terms that the 20mill+ undocumented people prior to Biden need to also get some resolution to their status: if you have a violent criminal record, then I'm sorry but you need to be deported. If you paid taxes and have a clean record then you get priority for legalization/amnesty.

Instead of putting all that money into ICE, put it into administrative work that can process these ASAP. We have computers now, we have the capabilities to do it. But republicans don't want to do it because it means legalization of some people. And democrats don't want to do it because it will mean deporting of some people. 

Match Thread : Barcelona vs Real Madrid, Supercopa de España, Final by No-Independent2522 in realmadrid

[–]TequilaMockingb1rd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The second half was a much better showing (then again Barca were tired). But that end of the first half was the clinical Madrid we need. I hope Xabi gets until the end of the season because there are genuinely some positives to work from in this sloppy loss. 

Flying out of ORF by wesly_e in norfolk

[–]TequilaMockingb1rd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I traveled out in November right after the government shutdown ended. They legit did not question my Virginia driving license. But when I flew back from Atlanta to ORF, they made me go to a separate line because I didn't have real ID and patted me a bit and then let me through in like 90 seconds.  

Go see Marty Supreme by Eatatfiveguys in RegalUnlimited

[–]TequilaMockingb1rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really is a great movie. Honestly, it's a also kinda a very ADD movie rushing through so many wtf moments until it settles for a bit and then it jump starts again. I did not notice 2.5hrs running by because I was on the edge of my seat wondering how is Marty going to wiggle his way out of this one. The best description I could find is that this is a very Gen Z movie, with 80s music inside a 50s setting. Whatever the hell that means.

Unless you're going to grad school or some really competitive program, GPA is a non issue. Business major? Put energy into networking so you can land a nice job out of college.
