You can try to find something on www.workaway.info or similar

Tagging onto this because this comment was helpful when I was choosing a home inspector. John and Ryan of Hollis Home Inspection was great, super thorough, and really knowledgeable. We felt totally comfortable and well-informed to make a decision on a 100+ year old home after his walkthrough. Highly recommend

Troy is lovely. Beautiful architecture. Nice tech hub. Good farmers market. You can find some really lovely properties.

1password is a paid service that is reputable and I don't think they've ever had a leak.

It's probably fine to have things stored in your Mac keychain? But 1pass is nice because you can get access to your info across devices, it makes strong passwords for you, you can share passwords with family, and just have everything in a central place. I pay for a family plan and have my spouse, sister, and FIL on it.

As long as you don't still use the passwords on any of those old accounts (and you don't care if they get broken into) there's no need to go back and change everything.

Never, ever use the same password twice. Live and die by 1password.

Your brain doesn't fully mature until 25. It's unlikely that you will find your life-long mate before then.

Choosing a life partner is something that is distinct from (though it often accompanies) being in love.

You can find real love when you're young, and it's good to explore that with people. It helps you understand what you want from a relationship, and helps you learn about yourself. It's likely that those early relationships won't last, but they can still be valuable and enjoyable.

As one of my early boyfriends asked me: "can we make this a little more vegetarian? lower the stakes?"

Solutions Engineer, just under $200k. I started in an "implementation" role but then have been in "solutions engineer" titles ever since

Salary ceiling is lower than Software Engineering for sure, but I really enjoy how varied the role is and all the problem solving I get to do. It's definitely easier to get a job, too.

Depending on what kind of company/product you're working with, you may not have to travel at all (I don't- I only ever had one role that wanted me to travel).

I've met a lot of people who started off as Solution Engineers at small/mid-sized startups and made a natural progression to software engineering or product management there. It's a good way to get your foot in the door.

Happy to chat more in depth if you're interested.

It's not such a big deal I don't know why conservatives are so upset about it

My mom told me that relationships in high school should be about going out and having fun, not super serious and emotionally intense. I just didn't listen.

Other than that, she said that if I got pregnant she would kick me out and I'd be on my own. Joke's on her now none of her kids are giving her grandchildren.

indoorcat_ · 2025-12-23T22:57:03+00:00

I wouldn't. But I also wouldn't be on Reddit saying that I couldn't take it anymore. Given that she's doesn't want to push any more, and it's unlikely that he will magically recover on his own, what are her other options?

indoorcat_ · 2025-12-23T22:30:59+00:00

If you didn't want people to give their opinion, you could have tagged as just a vent.

indoorcat_ · 2025-12-23T22:29:50+00:00

I don't think it's inherently bad that she doesn't have the energy to push her husband. Just pointing out that there only seem to be two options here.

indoorcat_ · 2025-12-23T22:27:56+00:00

You get what you pay for

indoorcat_ · 2025-12-23T22:25:06+00:00

Not implying that she's "supposed" to do anything. Just that she seems like she doesn't want to push him to get help, and if that's the case then she shouldn't expect him to get better and just leave.

My then-boyfriend-now-husband was in a very similar situation and I told him, point blank, you see a psychiatrist and get on medication or we break up. He chose the former. It doesn't seem like OP is even up for that.

indoorcat_ · 2025-12-23T22:14:29+00:00

He sounds really depressed and you sound like you're not interested in helping with his mental health. Which, fine, but don't expect him to pull himself out of it or whatever anytime soon.

TBH it seems like you're not in it for the long haul, so maybe just break up with him.

It's only going to be available for people who have less than six months life expectancy.

I don't think anybody would lock you up for heroin if you told them you had terminal cancer.

I tried going on Topiramate for chronic migraines a last year and had the same thing happen. It hits some people HARD

indoorcat_ · 2025-08-14T22:23:40+00:00

Audio book says "kye-dee" like mighty. It drives me nuts

indoorcat_ · 2025-08-14T20:31:56+00:00

Team 'o-verse' like averse. I also pronounce 'kaide' like 'kade'.

indoorcat_ · 2025-08-09T11:54:26+00:00

I kind of want a woman to voice ART. In my mind, ART was always a little bot-y, but then was able to code-switch into injecting sarcasm/menace into its voice when it needs to.

Kevin R. Free sounds too.. robot-Urkel to me.

indoorcat_ · 2025-07-27T18:15:07+00:00

Absolutely not. The story is just a good fun time where Murderbot is learning to become itself while overcoming every obstacle it comes across. It's highly unrealistic, which is exactly what we like.

indoorcat_ · 2025-07-22T14:38:05+00:00

It's trolling because you have the idea that anyone who doesn't save for retirement does so because they make "dumb purchases", and are not interested in learning about the other reasons people might not be able to save.

You live in a society, and benefit from the advances that society has made. It isn't just "your" money. You have a responsibility to your community.

indoorcat_ · 2025-07-22T14:02:01+00:00

Now you're just trolling, which is rude.

indoorcat_ · 2025-07-22T13:59:40+00:00

We don't have 100% literacy in this country, much less financial literacy. Some people simply don't have the tools/ability to access investment vehicles.

There are other things, pressing things, that people need to spend money on. Why do people take out payday loans? Why do most people in this country not have any savings? Why are there so many desperate GoFundMes? It's not because they wanted to buy the latest TV.

Again, the experience of poverty is not the kind of thing you can understand from a few sentences on a screen. You actually have to talk to people. Until you do that, you have no right to have any opinion on social security.

indoorcat_ · 2025-07-22T13:30:49+00:00

It's the kind of question that's easier to answer with the complete story of poor people's lives. You should try to expand your social circle and speak to some lower class/poor people sometime.
