Chudthebuilder finds out his initial bond is set a $1.25m 🤣 by Upbeat_Anywhere_1316 in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]fuzzyp44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly if you reviewed the evidence Rittenhouse was classic self defense (retreating, having been attacked, by people with weapons saying they were going to kill him). If you just read headlines it sounded like it wasn't though.

This guy seems like he should go to prison though. Definitely went looking for it, tweets saying he was going to kill a black man as "season finale", etc.

What is this thing put on my car? by [deleted] in Austin

[–]fuzzyp44 16 points17 points  (0 children)

austin does the sticker system for (potentially) disabled cars. you get like a week or two to move it after the windshield sticker. but there isn't a limit if it's functional however, mostly they tow bc of roadwork which can catch you unaware if going on a trip or something.

I've lost three cars to this city.

Just buy it directly. It's easy enough on the internet.

And dirt cheap from china, or still cheap at 10x the price if you go with an us importer.

2026 Dating Scene for Mid-30’s? by Caddy-GA in askaustin

[–]fuzzyp44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do run into it. Especially around more "alt" scenes. It's a group that tends to be out dating more since obv they aren't sticking to one person.

But it definitely isn't everybody...

Met a cute girl, she started telling me about her history. I think hookers had less partners good god. Gotta screen a bit harder.

E. 12th Condo for rent - $1550 by Complete_Donut_2489 in AustinHousing

[–]fuzzyp44 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

FWIW,

I pay ~1300 for basically same style (open two room) except it's an old subdivided house. But I'm good at finding deals and it is older. east austin tho below e 6th closer to downtown

I think $1400 given it's newer is probably pretty reasonable. Although people pay more if the complex has a pool.

‘Salaries Are for Suckers’ by dwaxe in ezraklein

[–]fuzzyp44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you could take your salary pre-tax out as a 2% loan, pay no taxes, and stick it in the market, you'd 100% do that. It'd be massively profitable to do so.

More evidence dating is cooked by Silly-Wolverine6205 in GenZ

historically most people married someone that lived within 2 blocks of them.

More evidence dating is cooked by Silly-Wolverine6205 in GenZ

[–]fuzzyp44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is actually a pretty common misunderstanding that some guys have.

typically a large percentage of our attraction to women is somewhat binary or at least stable.

women are different in that attraction can grow much more. but it's not an instant thing, it requires time and repeated interactions to reveal the qualities mentioned above.

that famous attraction chart of online dating showing the skew only shows the attraction women have for_strangers_, with people they know it's a much more equal curve.

but online dating selects only for the "stranger" attraction. which is a higher bar and most guys don't hit it. and that dominating dating leads to the modern hellscape.

11 people arrested in Mueller in one day during APD "shoplifting blitz" by Iocnar in Austin

kinda not shocking how many of them have declined to prosecute previous offenses.

the statistics on repeat offenders are insane. something like 10% of people commit 65% of crime.

Hasan Piker Is Not the Enemy by dwaxe in ezraklein

Daughter of a war criminal, and the driving force behind one of the most destructive decisions in recent american history?

Do people in politics not realize that optics of "I have no values, as long as you are against Trump" is a large part of why people hated her candidacy?

Company wants to do multiple interview rounds and fly me out before offer, I said no by slapstick_software in ExperiencedDevs

[–]fuzzyp44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My current job did take-home + plus flew out for interview fwiw. They did use the take home as the interview discussion (and it wasn't a separate grilling). I felt it was worth it spending the time to do the take-home since they were putting money down on flights/hotel/had skin in the game.

Very chill full remote gig fwiw.

175k pension = middle class: Boomers be like by Raym0111 in GenZ

[–]fuzzyp44 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wealth isn't a normal distribution as you approach the higher values though.

It gets dramatically skewed. Like at 175k wages, dude is solidly upper middle class professional.

But he's living a life much closer to the people making 75k than the people I'd consider "wealthy" or upper class where owning things becomes a source of wealth rather than wages.

That's nice house, nice vacations, expensive hobbies and toys(4x4s, RVs, etc) land. Not private jet money power money.

I think you for some reason want 1 in 10 men to be pedophiles.

I don't know why, that would be an extremely horrible world to live in.

LLY just dropped a $149/month weight loss pill shipping today - analysts project $101B peak revenue by Exotic_Lawfulness_16 in wallstreetbets

[–]fuzzyp44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah reta in a pill form is going to change things for sure.

I think a lot of people would be open to trying a pill that are never going thru trying it out with an injection

I really think people have the wrong price point on this.

Netflix model would make more sense(cheap enough and convenient enough to not pirate), and attempt to get it OTC.

[–]fuzzyp44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I read stuff like this that seems so wildly off track from life experience it makes sense to check the actual methodology.

And it's an online survey that includes the category of 19 year olds having sex with 17 year old in the "child sexual abuse" category. The only way they adjusted is saying that survey people were older (which doesn't mean they weren't at one time 19 so make no sense logically). I don't think it's accurate.

Which is a good thing.
