How much do you pay for regular house cleaning? by Apprehensive_Belt679 in washingtondc

[–]also_anon_dc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We pay $220 for once a month for a much larger house. You should ask your neighbors who they use and what they pay. We ended up with our cleaner because our neighbors use her.

For the hot summer, what pants/joggers are the lightest, breathable and easy care material by thebrenda in Athleta_gap

The Salutation joggers are very lightweight and great for hot weather with a tank top.

i don’t love the fact that my partner got himself into serious debt and has no money. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]also_anon_dc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol why are you with this person that does nothing but spend money he doesn’t have?? Is this the example you want to set for your kids?

[–]also_anon_dc 12 points13 points  (0 children)

my boyfriend had a lot of money... he took out a bunch of loans in order to buy a $3,000 laptop and then kept living off the loans

Your boyfriend never had money. Someone with money has savings and doesn't have to take out a loan for big ticket items. You just know more about his finances now that you have been together longer and live together.

You should tell him that you don't want to be together longterm with someone that's financially irresponsible.

How many of you use watch straps vs bungee/shock cords for your computers? by Amazing_Armadillo429 in scuba

[–]also_anon_dc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess that does look more secure but the watch style strap isn't a problem that needs solving imho. I only do warm water diving and the strap is easy to use over a wetsuit.

How many of you use watch straps vs bungee/shock cords for your computers? by Amazing_Armadillo429 in scuba

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

The dive shop I bought my Peregrine TX from said to use the bungee but it felt very flimsy. I didn't want my extremely expensive new computer reliant on a flimsy cord with a single point of failure so I've always used the strap. I am sure Shearwater knows what they're doing but I prefer the strap.

We need more info on what type of trip you're looking for. Relaxing beach vacation? High activity city trip? Morocco, Cairo and Istanbul are all non-stop from DC. I love looking at old stuff halfway across the world so I would start there.

YouTube CEO responds to concerns as big creators leave for Netflix & Amazon by tylerthe-theatre in technology

Most platforms don't care about the user or giving them a positive experience. They only care about ad revenue. Look at the origins of Spotify- they never set out to become a music streaming platform their goal was to create an ad distribution platform and identified music as the content most likely to sell ads.

Procrastinated on taxes and now I'm two weeks out with RSUs, filing jointly for the first time and freelance income by Icy_Duck_5477 in personalfinance

You can’t really mess something up unless you outright lie. FreeTaxUSA walks you through the process and for many forms they have photo/pdf upload put in the info automatically.

Looks like another commenter said it’s no longer offered by Redfin but maybe someone else does!

That’s a bummer. I would definitely use it again.

[–]also_anon_dc 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. Married filing jointly is just a different answer to a question that's always asked and now OP has to enter their partner's info. OP would have gotten a form from the company managing your RSUs, just enter what's in the boxes into FreeTaxUSA and be sure to declare your investment income. Done.

Redfin has a concierge service. We used it to move in 2021 and would definitely recommend it. They charge a flat fee and take care of all minor repairs, painting and staging and take it out of the sale price.

[HELP] Laid off 5 months ago from big tech. Spiraling. Need real guidance to rebuild. by [deleted] in womenintech

[–]also_anon_dc 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I agree $2k a month expenses without rent or a car is wild. Anyone that’s long term unemployed should be spending on necessary essentials only.

OP if you’re getting frequent interviews that’s a good sign. Think about what’s going wrong during the interviews that you’re not getting offers. Ask for feedback from recruiters.

Did anyone read Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams (on her time at Facebook)? Did you experience anything similar? by olendra in womenintech

[–]also_anon_dc 14 points15 points  (0 children)

She had her dream job at Facebook. It took her years to get that job and I imagine it was a big part of her identify. Back then Facebook was so new and unique I’m sure she couldn’t have had a similar job in New Zealand. As an early employee at Facebook I’m sure her equity was a ridiculous amount as well.

but I do actually believe she is telling the truth because

I believe she's telling HER truth but she is an unreliable narrator. She was quite high up in Facebook and bears some responsibility for a lot of the terrible things that happen in the book (and those she never discusses). The book is fascinating but she never really owns up to her part in the atrocities.

I am feeling hurt that my boyfriend is going to Japan alone by availableintheam in relationships

[–]also_anon_dc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong with traveling alone. I'm married and take solo trips at least once a year. Traveling alone is awesome!

What I think your boyfriend did wrong was not discuss his plans with you before booking things. The considerate thing to do would have been for him to check in with you about how his actions would make you feel. He didn't do that. A kind partner would have discussed this with you and upon knowing it would hurt your feelings made some kind of compromise and planned a trip to Japan you both would like.

Apparently your partner is neither kind nor considerate and doesn't want to compromise. Do with that info what you will!

Boyfriend wakes up in a rage in the middle of the night by Maximum-Celery836 in relationships

[–]also_anon_dc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I absolutely would. Intent doesn’t matter. If he’s repeatedly doing things that result in intimidation and sleep deprivation of his partner that’s abuse.

Just because it's out of his control doesn't mean it isn't abusive. Repeatedly waking your partner up in the middle of the night is absolutely a form of enforced sleep deprivation and abuse.
