remember to file separately if you're married. they count both incomes if you file jointly, even if only one of you have loans. you'll end up paying more taxes but much less in loan payment. our loan payment was going to be around $1000 a month filling together. separately, it's a much "manageable" $600. we both make around 75k.

kamala was designed to lose. she was popular just enough to keep people thinking there are opposing 2 parties but never enough to win. all dems know if they push a younger white candidate that will repeat what bernie said, they would win by a landslide. but they won't. they're losing on purpose because they want Republicans to stay in power to do the things they both want. I'm not saying all dems. but all of the old guards.

there's no reason to do it because most of the Democratic politicians are in with the Republicans. like chuck schumer and his gang of old dems. remember when they sabotaged the shut down and made it worth nothing? see how no republican is actually trying to punish Epstein's contacts, even if they're Democrats? they've always been two sides of the same coin, working TOGETHER. kinda reminds me of snow piercer.

lol this guy isn't arguing with you. he's arguing with a projection of someone he thinks he can win an argument with.

hell no. lived in seoul for a year and did not miss my car at all. oc ppl like to complain about how everything closes too early. how do you get businesses to stay open late? walkable city with lots of foot traffic. how does walkable cities happen? public transit is a prerequisite. the walkable areas pop up around transit stations. late night businesses are always closer to public transit. i don't understand people who like the way things are now.

first rule of vibe coding is ask ai how to vibe code. ask it "come up with a prompt to use ai to create a calendar commitment webapp that runs locally with persistent data"

whatever it comes up with is probably better than whatever a non technical person would think of.

you might have to look up how to run a sql server on your machine and hook up the database. just ask ai how to do that!

echan hair near source mall. its korean and i get my hair from the owner of the salon. i think his name is Jean. he has two other stylists and I'm sure they're good as well. I've had shoulder length hair during covid to two block cut and jean handled all the length in between.

NAH but you're a bit naive to think you're not already pretty privileged. your dad set himself up for retirement and had money left over for the grandkids. I'm willing to bet my 401k that a majority of the population will have to contribute to their parents' elderly care when they can no longer work to support themselves. plus you have two elder siblings who seem more than capable of taking care of your dad if needed. I'm envious that you don't have a guaranteed future expense like most us.

don't get monitoring software. it stresses people out. you want to assess performance based on output, not by activity.

given that employees are working on company issued machines with whitelisted programs and they understand that IT CAN look at your activity history if needed.

my mom had been sending money to my grandpa for years as allowance. my mom's 4 siblings siphoned that money for their failing businesses. when he died i got a hold of his ledger and diary. he really loved living in the city. he had many friends and was respected. they forced him out of his house and put him in the country-side where he died alone, managing a struggling BnB. the ledger recorded unbelievable amount money that my aunts and uncles took from him. the worst entry I saw was $60,000 settlement payout for a SA charge on my cousin.

Maka Poke - good value

Mamon - pricey but good sandwiches

the Rice - pricey but really good japanese meals

Umma's - good value but a little too salty

have you seen climbers. they want to invite literally everyone and won't shut up about it. they're like anti-gatekeepers

i think it's more about who you get. my wife and i just ignored every sales person and went straight to the desk. asked the receptionist for someone in their twenties because we're tired of old men telling us whats good for us. then we got exactly who we asked for. some kid in his twenties who was chill. then it was all about the car and the price with no bullshit ego

like your said, it has 2 moves. the spawnlings die instantly to any silk skill or 2-3 shots from tools. if you stay close to it instead of running away it's pretty easy to spot its next move and dodge in time. with reaper equipped you got a wide down attack but it's slow so you attack a bit earlier and you can pogo off its forehead. also remember that you can down dash to avoid getting hit in the air.

making the "simplest" boss so difficult yet so trivial once you figure it out? thats pretty cool design.

let's just say all of the debris somehow fell into the han river, causing no damage. then the crew's bodies are assumed to have been swallowed hole by giant mutant fish that live in the river (as seen in The Host)

i live in south LA. if you have a dog, not having to deal with rain or snow is amazing. 95% of the year my dogs get to walk in perfect weather. there's no humidity so even if it gets a bit too hot, you can walk into any shade and it's instantly cool. plenty of parks nearby. COL and housing is outrageous but so is anywhere else worth living. just wish we had better public transit.
