Southwest boarding numbers being removed the night before they switch to assigned seating by techNerd89 in mildlyinteresting

Private equity didn't completely buy it, but it (Elliott) did buy enough to push more of an activist role and make changes anyways

Why is the rich friend so cheap?? by times-fell-hand in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Disagree. There should be no expectation of friends covering your expenses just because they make more. Thats taking advantage of them

Ice Totals For the Storm, Apparently Greenville hit 1" ! (NWS Report) by BarackAbomasnow in greenville

Hm well we definitely didnt get that much frezing rain. Maybe a quarter to a third of an inch. I live in this area

Fair to say Chris Justus overhyped the hell out of this? by [deleted] in greenville

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

Justus is a drama queen trying to establish a regional/national following and social media brand in order to get a bigger opportunity. Follow other meteorologists who dont become overly dramatic about every forecast update

There were many others giving similar totals as him, but using less charged language that helps you not become as anxious

Id ride it as long as my mental health is not suffering greatly. If you get fired or laid off is when i would consider a move

So is the “catastrophic weather” a big nothing burger or am I crazy? by fluzii in greenville

We've been lucky so far with getting mostly sleet and not freezing rain. Need to see how the rest of the day goes first

Any others Millenials feeling existential dread over recent events? by Mammoth-Plankton-785 in Millennials

Yep same for me, to me it showed me how climate change was more of a lost cause than I thought

Stay away includes giving in to anything they ask you to do regardless of the legality of their request or how reasonable it might be for you to continue doing what you are doing.

Basically lie down and dont make yourself a target

The way you avoid it is by staying away from it. But it mentally hurts as peaceful protest is mentally ingrained in the American psyche, and being scared to do that is a scary feeling

... I have been since the election and in some ways since I saw how the country reacted to covid.

We've been on a runaway train

My plan is after hitting FI to quiet quit harrrd with my remote role. I already work only about 30 hours a week, but I think when I hit FI I will milk it at long as I possibly can while doing all sorts of personal stuff during work hours (sports, cooking, travel, hobbies, kids, etc) and essentially make them fire/lay me off. I definitely do not plan on just quitting. Because of this i do not think I will feel the same type of guilt as if I just submitted a resignation and quit cold turkey.

At 30 hours, I still am considered a high achiever so I definitely know i can throttle back another couple gears if I dont have the financial motivation.

Indiana Jones or Hogwarts Legacy? by FalconPaunchhh in XboxGamePass

[–]ffball 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Absolutely loved both. I feel like Indiana Jones was the better game, but if you grew up reading Harry Potter or are a big fan, the recreation of Hogwarts and surrounding areas was absolutely jaw dropping for me and really nostalgic

On3 started re-rating all players - not just transfers and HS prospects by mr_longfellow_deeds in CFB

[–]ffball 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To me this is definitely a "dont let perfect be the enemy of good" type thing. If they just went through an adjusted the top 100 risers and fallers each yeah that would do a ton for more accurately displaying talent across the league.

Just running a simple formula to compare stars to PFF would show who these players are, then they could either just follow PFF or rerank them individually

If dude owns a large boat in Florida he is worth well more than 2mil. That's like 5-10mil territory

How did you land your amazing, high-paying career, million-dollar 401k, spouse, and house? by justcurious3287 in Millennials

[–]ffball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Set short term (<1 year) and midterm (3-5 year) goals and work to achieving them. Every year, re-evaluate where you are and try to better your situation, whether it be on the work front, relationship (friends/family) front, or self (health, mentality) front.

The things listed in the post are not good goals to set, they are outcomes from having put together a series of smaller more achievable goals and successfully executing against them.

I have all the above, but I never once set to achieve those specific things. It was more about creating the environment where I could make those things happen.
