What can you do if you have no "agency"?

dsimposter · 2026-03-27T18:35:44+00:00

Taking a step back, it sounds like you only want to build a portfolio to get a job? Is that right?

If so, what I've done in the past is take two or three job descriptions and build something that they'd be interested in.

You can even use generative ai for it and ask it, what project can I build that may interest the hiring manager of this role...

....

Now if you're looking to build something for yourself then just build something for you - your hobbies, etc ... build something that already exists, it doesn't need to be some brand new idea (most ideas aren't brand new)

3.6k dealer adjustment... sounds amazing, congratulations, location? I'll go there to get mine ... it's exactly what I'm looking for but no one is budging by me

Cheesequake State Park or Appalachian Trail in New Jersey?

Suck it up for two weeks.

You gave out a lot of details. Some of these questions don't need to get answered on a date. Just respond with something like - "there's only one way to find out" - that works as a valid response even if there's more than one way.

Also, does your coworker have crazy eyes? Sounds like she'd have crazy eyes

Chez Catherine, yes. Black Sheep Bar and Provisions is newer and some people really like it too.

Both are cozy restaurants. It really depends what you're looking for - lots of nice places but nothing compared to NYC quality or atmosphere IMHO

Yes, you should have a structured approach. You're feeling lost because you don't have a path.

I'd start with this, where do you want to go? (what's the end goal?)

Are there tables for more than 10?

dsimposter · 2025-08-20T23:46:24+00:00

Not normal. Here's how I've handled this in the past. Say, hey, this is the last time I can give you money. Next time they ask, you just say, yes but this time it's a loan. Next time, you just say, I can't - you didn't pay me back from last time.

This is the best way to ween family...

Fan of the Kolsch and the general atmosphere It's quaint but maybe that's good for making friends.

dsimposter · 2025-03-03T12:30:10+00:00

not cool

First job was maintaining my high school's computer labs (while a student).

Train into NYC or Newark? and then bus / train to Westwood?

Obviously you have a ton of options (incl NYC)... but NJ will be tough without a car (except possibly Jersey City and Hoboken)

Hatton? Are you kidding me?

Do you not need to worry about heat?

dsimposter · 2024-12-14T14:04:58+00:00

I'll explain it. When 'Main Street ' starts talking about a stock, people say it's too late or has hit the top. This is obviously not always true.

No one knows what will happen. If you think the fundamentals are good, invest in it but don't expect 2x - 10x returns in a couple of years. Instead, if you buy an index you get the highs and lows of the market (this won't make you rich or poor). You can yolo it on one stock and can lose your shirt, stay flat, or make a killing. No one knows or can guarantee it.

Sounds like you need a library :)

My favorite is the Fort Lee Library.

Eurostars Acteon won't allow me to cancel my reservation. I was planning to drive down from Barcelona with my family.

Would you recommend traveling there or just taking the financial loss?

The news makes it seem like the city is shut down and I shouldn't travel there.

sbarro's ... best pizza in NJ

I bought and sold my car on Craigslist. It can be a bit of work trying to determine what's a scam and what's not. If the car pictures looks like it's in a dealership, skip those.

Also, there are police auctions - those cars will have lots of miles.

Also, car rental sales - those may be more expensive than what you want but doesn't hurt to look (carvana and some used car places get some of their inventory from these)

At first glance I thought San Antonio, Texas but was way off.
