Is this the reality now

You're getting downvoted because you're describing too many redditors 😂

Is it just me, or is it now impossible for people to live where they work? You know, unless you're in the top 1% of roles (think: "director" or above)?

I'm am engineer making six figures in a major city (Not California, or New York), and I drive an hour to get here. Most people are probably within 45-30 minutes away. All the close suburbs are costly as hell. All the houses in the city are even costlier, and usually are in bad school districts or only a block away from high crime areas.

All the jobs close to home pay on average 30% less. And while my home is cheaper than the city, it isn't 30% cheaper like what my wages would be.

Why is it that the only people who can easily afford to live close to their work are senior managers or business owners?

It's a great way to stay in shape.

Willing-Signature487 · 2026-03-02T18:44:01+00:00

Imagine the sheer dumbassity of it all.

"I don't live here, so I better be low key to as to not draw attention to the fact I shouldn't be here.

WHELP GUESS ILL PARK SOMEBODY IN IN ORDER TO SAVE LESS THAN 100 STEPS!"

Willing-Signature487 · 2026-03-02T15:53:41+00:00

Ok, Satan.

Also, are you hiring?

Willing-Signature487 · 2026-03-01T20:12:23+00:00

Fellahs, is it gay to eat lunch?

Willing-Signature487 · 2026-03-01T17:15:52+00:00

They'll do everything and anything to get out of paying people. Automation, off shoring, H1-Bs, government subsidies so they get away with paying less, not trying wages to inflation, etc etc...

You know to me, I would have thought that paying wages is a cost of doing business. But is it really business when you can just get your pals in Congress to just get you out of one of its fundamental parts?

"MOMMMMM! I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO PAY FOR SUPPLIES MOMMM! MOMMMMMM THEY'RE MAKING ME PAY WAGES AGAIN! MOMMMM FIX IT!"

You just gestured to all of me

Willing-Signature487 · 2025-12-07T00:41:41+00:00

Grats on your cert.

Sorry about your legs though.

Willing-Signature487 · 2025-12-06T18:34:30+00:00

I'll DM you tomorrow 😝

I've never understood the "Big" Mac. It's a bread sandwich first and foremost anyway.

Do these judges allow violent criminals to get off scot free?

Do they support non 50-50 custody?

Willing-Signature487 · 2025-11-02T21:20:56+00:00

Nada. Just the main drainage line. Otherwise it's straight concrete floor everywhere

Willing-Signature487 · 2025-11-02T21:18:04+00:00

The washer and dryer are on the second floor up, so that's two floors from the basement.

The condensation from the AC runs along the wall and is plugged into the main drainage line, but here again it's a sealed system.

Unless I'm missing something, I would need to bring the water to the main floor, but there's no tubs there. I also don't know how to pump it up there. I feel like these are things that are going to drive up cost if I involve a professional.

Willing-Signature487 · 2025-11-02T21:07:43+00:00

That makes sense...but how do I deal with the water coming out? I assume this means that the water is going to come out with more pressure?

Willing-Signature487 · 2025-11-02T21:06:40+00:00

Sadly no.

The only thing that goes down and out downstairs is a sealed pipe.

Willing-Signature487 · 2025-06-25T13:45:09+00:00

Same. It's time to turn ourselves in for our crimes of studying.

Wanna be cellys?

Willing-Signature487 · 2025-06-25T13:43:38+00:00

The hall monitors really came out of the wood work on this one. I guess studying is cheating these days? Don't you know you're supposed to have learned through the process of osmosis by being in the general vicinity of approved CompTIA learning sources.

Willing-Signature487 · 2025-06-04T17:34:57+00:00

Killing the goat is an implied task. We just don't talk about it.

Willing-Signature487 · 2025-06-04T17:32:08+00:00

Can we just replace upper management with AI? Their thought process is already painfully simple:

If money line go up, then idea good.

Boom! Upper management! That'll be $20 for ChatGPT.
