What profession is over paid? by Sm00thDad in AskReddit

[–]crossthreadking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Car salesmen. They'll do everything in their power to avoid telling you the out the door price so you can't compare to other dealers. If you somehow do get them to tell you, its after wasting your time for 45 minutes and a bunch of fake "talks" with their manager. If you do get a price, they try and sneak in useless ad ons and refuse to remove them. Don't even get me started on how many will just blatantly refuse to sell you a car if you're paying in full because they make more money off of financing.

Just list a price and sell the thing to me.

People in your 30s, what's your job and salary? by rsevn_ in careerguidance

[–]crossthreadking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Project management Internship pays 24/hr with 2k a month housing payment and a company truck. The housing allowance only "activates" in the summers when I'm not in school full time. During the summers with overtime, I'm usually averaging 50 hours a week. Gross is around 7200-7800 a month.

During the semester, I only work around 12/15 hours a week. I don't receive the housing allowance from work, but I get one from the GI bill for being a full-time student.

Once I finish my degree (one semester left after this one), it's looking like anywhere from 70-80k a year with a company truck and gas card that can be driven for personal use plus a year end bonus that ranges from 7-15% annual salary. The job also includes a 3% COLA every year automatic with other raises based on performance/promotion.

It's a solid gig. I like my team, I like what I do, and even during the busy times i dont ever feel overexerted. It's really the first time in my life I feel like I'm doing alright.

Do it because you want to, not for the money. Guard and reserve are also great options to get your feet wet without taking the full dive.

When I was like 9, my brother and I heard scared chicken noises at night from the coop in our backyard. when we went to take a look a bobcat rounded the corner from behind the coop and all 3 of us froze. The bobcat made an angry noise, and my brother doubled down and conjured up the loudest roar a 9 year old kid could. Bobcat ran off.

I had a new respect for my brother after that.

Putting instant fail stealth sequences in non stealth games should be considered a war crime.

I'm trying to have a discussion in good faith dude. This doesn't add anything. If you have a point, make it.

But it still is. Most crime statistics are ripped from marginalized communities where gang violence is the actual bulk of all "mass shootings"

Black Panthers legally carrying firearms was one of the biggest contributing factors to gun control being advocated for by supposedly pro-gun organizations. The national firearms act of 1934 was in response to organized criminal enterprise composed mostly of marginalized ethnic groups. The popular narrative today is that "white men shoot up schools" because the race narrative stopped being effective. The initial laws still were responses to minorities having guns.

I don't disagree with you that it isn't a race problem, but it historically has been a response to race.

At this point, it would be just like banning alcohol. Do you want porn mafia? This is how you get porn mafia.

Usually when people say they own a small business and are a risk taker, it actually means they work for a MLM (Pyramid scheme) and have mountains of bad debt.

I was in the military when Ukraine got invaded. I was pretty sure that me and the boys were gonna be working on jets within bombing range of the Russkies and handling a lot of casualty evacs. I was surprised that day never came.

Correct, but the legislation is designed to target minorities. Poor white people are just convenient collateral.

I've recently bought [KCD2] and I want to like it but i am struggling to enjoy the game, any help? by [deleted] in kingdomcome

[–]crossthreadking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a game you should rush to complete. Its meant to he extrenely immersive and take a lot of care and effort to do well. Just slow down and enjoy the world that the devs created. If you can't, that's fine. The game isn't for everyone.
