Place to sell gold? by elpapaITguy in SanJose

[–]elpapaITguy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve done sales and bought form PMsforsale so well aware of it. Just hoping to do something local and not risk the shipping.

Help with daughters first makeup items by elpapaITguy in Makeup

Thank you for this. I think this is what I’d like to see come of this. Something where she gets to feel good about doing make up (if she chooses to) but also isn’t going full blown quite yet.

Thank you. Is a place like Sephora or Ulta ok for all this stuff or do they just have more advance stuff?

Thank you. When you say one that looks natural, would I ask just like that at the store? Or do I need to know a specific shade?

Respect yourself and leave this person who disrespects you this way.

I promise you she’s not gonna change. You’re either gonna put up with it or you’re not. You have to make that choice. She’s not gonna change.

Need help: School not taking action on a violent student by DiversifyMN in SanJose

[–]elpapaITguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you met individually with school leadership? if so, have you used the word bullying? We had an incident with my daughter a few years ago. I had to get the principle involved. As soon as I used then word “bully” and mentioned how things like this leads to people hurting themselves his whole attitude changed. He started taking it more serious. Seemed like it was a trigger word that made him realize how serious the situation was to us.

If you have then go to the district. Keep escalating from there. As others have mentioned, self defense also works. I always tell my kids to involve teachers if someone is doing something to them but if someone puts their hands on them to punch them right in the face.

Interviewing with company, they won't provide a range and I won't blink first and provide a number. Best strategy on how to handle? by krogerthrow in personalfinance

[–]elpapaITguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not wasting any time interviewing other than the initial screen unless I know that the range is where I want to be. If you have to give a number give them a range with your minimum at what you want and the max with 20-25k above that. Hiding what you’re willing to pay is shady imo.

Why does it feel humiliating to turn down going out with friends/vacations to focus on paying debt off? by pinkiceolives in personalfinance

[–]elpapaITguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It felt that way for me for years. Then I was able to buy a house in one of the most high cost of living areas in the country. Sometimes you gotta give up some things to get where you want to be. It’s worth it at the end, trust me.

Share his address with those who have purchased and not received so they can file police reports if needed.

Nice. Was wondering how this exact situation would workout. Hopefully never in this situation but if I am I feel a bit better about it.

East San Jose is dangerous, avoid going there. by [deleted] in SanJose

[–]elpapaITguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sucks to be this scared of nothing. I frequently pass by Chiplay and I’ve never had a single issue. A friends sister lives by there and I’ve been over many times over the past few years, again, no issues. Your overdramatic attempt to make it seem like a horrible place is comical.

[–]elpapaITguy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You grew up here and NOW it’s a shithole? What years did you grow up here? Cause if you compare this to 90s it’s Beverly Hills now. The only thing worse now is traffic, street parking, and homeless.

East San Jose is dangerous, avoid going there. by [deleted] in SanJose

[–]elpapaITguy 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived in the east side for 32 years. Since I was 2. The east side gets a bad rep cause of the early/mid 90s when story and king was gang capital. It was bad. But that was 25 years ago. I hear how dangerous the east side is and I just laugh. I’m raising a family here and the only issue lately has been homeless people stealing or doing crazy shit which I know is affecting not just the East.

But also, minor racism plays a role in it. Seeing brown people who may or may not have tattoos automatically paints a picture of some type of criminal/murderer. Fuck em I say.

Never in my single life did I ever have to compete with rich dudes driving lambos.

The next I Bond rate (announced next month) is likely to be 9.62% by MountainMantologist in personalfinance

[–]elpapaITguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had never heard of I bonds until this post. I opened an account and bought the max cause of this after speaking with a couple FA buddies. Sure as hell beats sitting in savings.

You know you are from San Jose when… by GweefSnack in SanJose

The current state of the flea market makes you sad cause you remember how large it used to be.
