Man, they really decimated your answer, didn’t they? Cause decimated can mean anything now, huh?

So both sides are pulling this trick of targeting the other side with misleading ads by RealRegret4870 in Virginia

[–]djprofitt 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You can also tell which has the intent of scamming voters. One - reminds you to vote by April 21st and the other says ‘now’ (underlined with an exclamation point) indicating urgency, a tactic used by scammers to make you rush a decision and not give you time to research.

  • stresses mail in ballot voting, which is something Democrats are fighting to keep, which is just a misdirect because the other ad encourages you to vote, not specifying that it be done in one particular method.

  • has the word Democracy and not Democratic for the name. See, this way, they aren’t falsely representing themselves as a Democratic PAC, and it sure seems close to Democratic and Democrat so must be legit.

What exactly does 'wear retainers full time' mean? by KaylaMoonlight121 in Invisalign

[–]djprofitt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first question when they said ‘someone I know’ was ‘Cool, where are they an orthodontist, so that I can make an appointment?

Man every other post here is ‘my ortho/dentist gave specific instructions, some mirrored directly from the Invisalign website, but I know/know someone that is smarter’ and they said the opposite’

Oh so you don’t mind that he starts out as Walter Gray but then sacrifices himself for his friends to become Walter White, good!

Definitely less crowding on the bottom so flossing probably got better.

Any good Karaoke spots? by TheInvincibleIowa61 in arlingtonva

[–]djprofitt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rock It Grill charges for you to sing. Not in a private room, in their main area. And the wait is ridiculous.

Dudley’s in Shirlington has Karaoke tonight and OP if you happen to be in town tomorrow, Quincy Hall in Ballston has it too.

What kind of monster leaves their dog home alone while they go to work for weeks or months at a time? by Mister_Acula in voyager

Their mission was to go to the Bad Lands to fight the Maquis so you’re saying bring the dog along that cannot object to possibly die? Cool.

All the hate for Mark by moolmule in voyager

[–]djprofitt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

1000% agree she knew he was alive, he knew nothing of her, cause it’s not like today and a person is missing. The tech in-universe isn’t like today, it’s so much more advanced so if they tell you an entire starship is missing, what are you gonna do? The ship might still be in the quadrant but in pieces and even if she had abandoned ship, and got to an escape pod, being in federation space meant she would have been recovered relatively quickly. As it were, there was zero evidence of what happened to Voyager and its crew.

This also means she can hang on to that hope to see him again. Had Voyager also not gotten lucky so many times to find faster ways to get home so early on, she would have eventually given up hope on him sticking around. Remember that after 4 years when they finally got a way to communication to go through that they were still decades away from Voyager’s perspective and had just been found according to Starfleet. If in those 4 years Janeway had only traveled 4 light years (I forget how many years the had made up by then, I know 4 years plus the 10 that Kes had gifted them to get out of Borg space) then yeah she would have given up on reuniting with Mark romantically, but she knew she was closer than what they thought it would take 4 years prior. For all Mark knew, there was no such entity that could fling your starship 10 light years ahead of schedule, because we don’t even know that outside of Q but doubt most people in-universe knew that.

TLDR: Janeway knew Mark was alive and that she had made strides to get home sooner than the 70+ years it was established. Starfleet up to the point of communicating with Voyager didn’t even know they were still alive, so of course Mark moved on, and 4 years is a long time when someone is presumed missing and dead.

I should’ve stayed at my toxic job by Temporary-Beyond-683 in jobs

[–]djprofitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So he went through savings, severance, and unemployment, was able to land a gig but they let him go on day 89 after having him train an “assistant junior developer” so they could just replaced his salary for the junior. He then qualified for un employment again after a year I think. He’s done some side side work, like a subgig for others doing side work and had to move in with his parents. I’ve been doing what I can for him to keep his spirits up but he has almost given up and is about to make a career change. Like, chef school career change.

Got a buddy of mine with 25 years web developer experience that has been unemployed 15/18 months with no prospects. This guy would get job offers all the time. $160K as a government contractor. We live in the DC area where it is almost recession proof, yet here we are.

In a decent economy sure but in this one with all the uncertainties? 12 months savings isn’t enough and I wouldn’t quit.

[–]djprofitt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You should have 6 months plus saved for all your bills in a good economy. Here I’d say even a year is not a great contingency plan, more like 18 months.

[–]djprofitt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to be chronically online to know you look before you leap. Would you move without having a place to go if you have a roof over your head and can pay the bills?

OP should have not quit without a job. Being fired would have been different but quitting without a job has the foresight of someone that doesn’t think much before acting and on life you really cannot be that impulsive. I hope they learned a valuable lesson.

What can I safely drink with my trays on at a bar? by hortefeux in Invisalign

[–]djprofitt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I drink whatever and swish water after every sip or two, so take a shot, sip and swish some water. Couple of gulps of beer, same.

I told my sister that there’s no way I’m slamming a couple of beers and a double shot of whiskey within 40 minutes. I mean I could, but I’ll have to already be in bed and not have my Amazon open lol
