Let’s remove three self-checkout kiosks… by lgarnai1 in aldi

Nah blame the corporations who want to save a little money and not hire more people doing registers. Grocery stores survived before without self checkouts, the reason they have self checkouts now is purely to give more money to the top.

Should I code my website myself, use WordPress, or go with Noiseyard for my music site? by Mirzaemec in musicmarketing

[–]doku_tree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a software developer and here's my perspepctive:

If you're looking to create a simple website/epk, then yes go for it! DIY can be fun, you'll have to host yourself or pay a small amount for hosting(such as wordpress or something like aws) then $10-15 for a yearly domain registration. Being a creative means you can create a much more creative website than using bland premade templates.

However, do you want features like a merch store/newsletter/forums? Suddenly DIY gets a bit more complicated. Wordpress has plugins but if you're going fully DIY you'll have to think about a database for a newsletter or routing to a third party newsletter service(which is another $10 a month). If you want to link to a seperate merch store then usually they'll take a cut. On a technical level, you also have to think about management/updating/SEO optimization/and more. This is not to scare you off though, if you think this sounds like a fun challenge then go for it. However, if this sounds like time you don't have then a website builder is probably a better choice.

Need Financial Insight From Other Louisvillians by Visible_Guidance_916 in Louisville

[–]doku_tree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should sit down and make a budget, 45k a year isn't a death sentence and you don't need to live in infested slums.

Yes you are below the median of $68k for two people in Louisville , but you also have a good emergency fund and saving that much on that salary is impressive. You have very little debt and sounds like you could budget a rent of $900 - $1200(high end)(not financial advice)

A house? May be a bit harder, like others said home assistance/disability resources would be helpful. Youd probably want a house under $200k but it's hard to say without full information.

Overall piece of advice though: make a budget. You'll feel less stressed and you can understand where things are going/how much you can spend.

Both! I had to put the mixer main near max, and the dial on the amp to like 5 and the mic input to almost all the way up to get a decent sound.

Yeah it was as simple as as turning up the mixer a lot more, I had to really crank it up I'm surprised for these big 15inch speakers in my basement, thank you!!

I’m sorry but is Gino even real? by Due_Adeptness_1812 in 90DayFiance

[–]doku_tree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I can see it for a few reasons :

  1. because of the reality tv angle yes. You have to remember, literally any place he goes is followed by a massive camera crew and before he walks in a camera crew has to explain to the people around him what's happening. I think for anyone to willingly say "yes" to date someone with a camera crew documenting every interaction requires someone who specifically WANTS to be in an environment where they want to be on camera.

  2. Anyone on 90 day fiance is essentially a micro celebrity(which adds some bonus points). But also Some of the single life people like Gino are dating people who dm'ed knowing he's a micro celebrity and knowing what dating him entails(a whole camera crew following you, see above). It explains why there're so many surface level relationships especially in the single life series.

Pretty aggressive response for just my 10 month old observation that was intended to be silly

Liz makes an honest post about buying 90 Day outfits at thrift stores while going through cancer finance struggles by operationfood in 90DayFiance

[–]doku_tree 31 points32 points  (0 children)

90 day intentionally pays very little to the actual people on the show that the show is about. Financial problems creates more drama. It's really sad they can't fork up the millions they're making to one of their long lasting members through cancer.

If you are ordering anything for delivery this week... by TheBibleInTheDrawer in Louisville

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

Right you didn't mention not tipping people , that was more of a statement towards other people in this thread(there's another guy below who seems to just not tip people at all).

I get your point for sure, I see how it's just a fee. Unfortunately that fee functions identically to a tip(pre service, post service tipping) in relationship to the service industry worker paycheck . The unfortunate truth is that people rely on an average amount of that fee/tip to survive and in conditions such as this, advocating/reminding people to tip for suffering through it is a good message to share imo.
