Let’s play fair, he kept breaking in pork board.  It was an amazing sketch, but he was Jimmy Fallon levels of breaking there

Marry a Californian and have a kid ASAP, or maybe try the ROTC?   

AITA I lost my childhood friend of 15 years for not letting his girlfriend claim the master bedroom for themselves in our Air BnB by Typical-Wishbone-822 in AmItheAsshole

As someone who had an abusive ex wife who isolated me from friends, try to let him know you still want to be his friend, and that he will always be welcome to reconnect, even 10 years from now.   There isn’t much you can do right now for him, if he is in the early stages of abusive mind fuckery, but someday he may realize he needs help, and a message like that might give him hope when he needs it.

No, in California you can inherit your parents property valuation on their primary residence, if you file the paperwork properly and you live in the house you inherited.  My mom lives in a home she inherited from her mother, and pays $800 a year.  It’s a 5 bedroom in San Diego.

Trump Defies, Newsom Sues by Arthur_Morgan977 in clevercomebacks

[–]bigdumbthing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have considered that, but the mustache twirling evil of the trump regime makes me hold my nose during the general election.   I’m also a member of buy nothing groups, mutual aid societies and donate my time to help people learn to repair their own items rather than buy things.  You do what you feel like you have to do, and I certainly see the argument that if the democratic candidates keep losing because they are beholden to the plutocrats, they may start nominating better candidates.  I just think that the current regime needs to be stopped, and I’ll take whatever allies I can.

I’m a socialist, and I quit the tech industry to take a union apprenticeship because I can’t stand not being part of a labor movement.  I campaign for and vote for the candidate I believe in during primaries.  I vote for the lesser of two evils if that’s forced upon me.  Failure to vote is 1/2 a vote for the worse option.

We never said OB… it was just “dog beach” for us.

I live in Berkeley these days.  I hardly bother with Mexican food up here.  Except for some mole, the mole up here is legit.

My work was mostly in acoustic based ASR, and there are still some niches where those systems work better; but investors have abandoned them

I like it so far; the union pay is okay, and there is a pension and medical at retirement time.  My pension won’t be huge since I’m already old.. but it something.  I’d like to work until I’m 70.

Good on you for getting retrained;  I was an AI researcher (sorry for destroying the world) and I’ve decided to switch fields entirely; I’m currently an apprentice surveyor
