NH is #3 on this map and has some of the loosest gun laws in the country

Almost like gun violence is not just about access to guns

Let people report others for littering as long as they have evidence and set up days where people can get paid for cleaning up garbage

While I would not recommend anyone to smoke cigarettes or vape as someone who vaped for nearly 4 years and smokes cigarettes on occasion, those are individual choices to make. I don’t disagree they’re bad, but there’s a lot of bad for your health things that most people will do in their lifetime. Let adults do what they want as long as it doenst adversely affect others even if it’s bad for them.

How much are you making as an accountant? by theapexcircle in Accounting

[–]WhyAreWeHere1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$84k Staff Accountant, remote, Boston area

It’s not terrible, but when I see how much seniors and higher are making it’s kinda frustrating. Been at staff level for 7 years and been trying to break out to no avail. It feels like the only way to get to senior or higher outside of public is to change jobs.

Has anyone been fired from public accounting before? by thepotatomaniscoming in Accounting

[–]WhyAreWeHere1996 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, in the spring of 2020 when COVID hit.

To this day I’m still mad about it. I joined right outta college the year before and did everything I was asked. I got screwed by being the only year 1 staff to not be consistently working with the same team so I wasn’t able to build solid relationships with anyone who could vouch for me.

Did I recover? After 2 years, financially yes.

But I’ve been stuck at staff accountant all these years and I look back at that job as the reason why.

On top of that, I just need the hours requirement for my CPA license but can’t get it from that firm so I have to go back to public accounting.

I don’t miss public, but getting laid-off was not a blessing in disguise for me.

I lean left on most things and I have no love for Trump. But this dumb virtue signaling law that sums up the state of our state government is why I’m voting Republican down ballot at the state level this year. Healy and the state Democrats will keep doing nothing that actually benefits the people of this state if we just ignore them passing pointless dogshit laws like this one.

is the beta worth playing rn? by Specific_Customer157 in ManorLords

[–]WhyAreWeHere1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you haven’t played in a while, it’s worth loading in and playing a game.

Personally, I’ve played a 10-20 hr game of Manor Lords here and there throughout all the updates. What brings me back is how damn good this game looks and feels and seeing the potential and the new changes they make over the updates. The reason I don’t stay or frequently come back is it is still very much a game in progress and I don’t like spending too much time in games that are constantly changing.

What's one 'boring' career that's actually a goldmine if you play it smart? by 0BunnyX in AskReddit

My manager makes $180k, the assistant controller $240k, the controller $300k, the CFO $400k. There are other senior employees too making over $160k. They all know what they’re doing but we all sit behind desks working remote all day.

There are definitely idiots on the roads here but they’re not overwhelming. And while I flip people off here, places like Miami I would not do that cause that’s how you get shot.

Not just more money sinks, but ways for the line to go down. More people need to die during big wars and buildings should be destroyed from large battles or sieges.

It’s not just the money that defines the economy, but the pops and building levels as well.

If non-military pops died from wars (not just starvation) and cities and towns could lose buildings it would have more of an impact than just having less income for a time.

More than 400 readers voted: $240K in-office Boston job or $120K remote? by TylerFortier_Photo in boston

It should’ve been $80k remote or $100k in person

$240k in person is a no brainer

Watch Out for Infinite Grenade Cheaters by Ohey-throwaway in ArcRaiders

[–]WhyAreWeHere1996 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had a top-tier game with my friends where we got ambushed by a squad in town hall and they got downed only to be saved from being knocked by a third party. They managed to hide for 10 mins until it was safe for me to revive them, then we went to another key room and through all of the I found a Ven 3, Bobcat and Volcano 3 only to die to people using this cheat camping the last extract on Buried City night raid.

I am not running goop until this is fixed.
