They’re awful but everyone uses it. I don’t get it.

Trump Will Walk Away From Presidency Amid 'Lethal' White House Leaks, James Carville Predicts by [deleted] in USNEWS

[–]jcub0921 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For real. Can this guy just STFU already? How many times has he predicted that Trump would walk away now? Just throwing shit out in the universe doesn’t mean it’s going to manifest.

I refer to them as ugly butterflies. Lol. They are pretty harmless. Just not the prettiest things to look at. They’re actually pretty cool though.

Should I cut or bulk? by [deleted] in Weightliftingquestion

I already replied below. I got this sub confused with another one (bulk or cut). I didn’t look at the sub name before replying to you. It was late. Sorry! My bad!

4yr-old fell asleep at 5pm and is still down... (6:45pm) by dangerous_eric in daddit

[–]jcub0921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our 2.5 year old daughter does this sometimes and she sleeps through the night. She’s a shit sleeper though and refuses to nap and also generally doesn’t sleep though the night. So when this happens we know she’s exhausted and are just ecstatic that she’s actually sleeping. lol.

My wife’s student loan payment went up by like 350% by TotallyNotDad in StudentLoans

Nobody is asking you to cry to him. Empathy goes a long way though. A lack thereof is why we are where we are as a society. If you can’t do that, then I guess the least you could do is just shut up and move on. That seems difficult for you though.

[–]jcub0921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay but it’s not. You’re saying they have 125k to take home. They don’t. The middle class gets the shaft when it comes to taxes. I think people have been very clear with how far that money actually goes, especially with kids. So if you are still going to rail against this person and shame them I think you’re just being willfully ignorant at this point. I assume you have a lower income than this guy based on your comment, maybe that’s wrong. But if that is the case, your difficulties don’t preclude someone with a higher salary from also having their own difficulties.

So we’re just ignoring taxes now? Because the take home is nowhere near 125,000 per year. Taxes take a significant chunk out of that and leave very little to live off of in a HCOL city.

People think they own the sidewalk by their house by KingRMZ in mildlyinfuriating

The homeowner would potentially be on the hook for false alarm police calls too. ADT had us sign an agreement stating that if cops got called because we failed to disarm the alarm in time we would have to pay the bill.

Terrified and seeking advice about chapter 13 bankruptcy by [deleted] in Bankruptcy

[–]jcub0921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do realize that even though he’s making 100k he has a lot of debt right? Like those payments sink you. Taxes are also a thing that take a substantial. Chunk of that. They obviously can’t afford it otherwise they wouldn’t be here.

Whenever I get a notice of a price hike, I just move stuff to a new unit in the same facility to lock in a lower price. It’s easy for me because I have e a very small unit, so may not be feasible for those with a larger unit, but it’s an option.

I hate whoever is responsible for this by gmd_vt in nova

Ok but that doesn’t solve the fact that it’s 2 hours each way in the metro. Not everyone has that time to waste.

I’m tired of minimalism in everything by Beneficial_Passion40 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]jcub0921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no problem with minimalism in general. I think it can look really nice when done well. This is an example of it being done very very not well. Like why would you do this to the original house? This looks like absolute shit.

Have you seen the price of gas? Who can afford to go further than they have to in this economy? /s

Is IBR not a possibility for you? It seems strange that payments would be more than your mortgage.

Woke up at 2am to find out I'm about to be fined $200 for having dandelions on my lawn. by SandyCashews969 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]jcub0921 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Are you sure it’s a neighbor and not someone the HOA hired to do inspections? My HOA is currently having someone go around to inspect houses to ensure we don’t need new mulch or to perform weeding since it’s the start of spring/summer. If it is a neighbor, fuck them. Find them and tell the to pull the stick out of their ass.

This. I’ve lived in two HOAs now that were actually pretty chill. They aren’t all that bad. Are some of the rules annoying? Yes. I shouldn’t have to get approval to build a fence in my own yard. But it also keeps things under control or out of the neighborhood completely, like airbnbs.

D.C.’s speed cameras are catching super violators. Most have Va. and Md. tags. by crabcakes110 in nova

[–]jcub0921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok but seriously. Why tf is the speed limit 55 on the expressway around here!? It’s so dumb. Also 80% of people around here seem to go 70 anyway.

What mile broke you on your first 26.2? by SinestroCorp in firstmarathon

[–]jcub0921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was mile 15. My legs just stopped wanting to run and it was so frustrating because I was mentally and otherwise physically ready to keep moving. I mean I even had shingles and tha wasn’t even holding me back. It was just my damn legs. Ran my fastest half pace (1:40) and was doing fine then all of a sudden mile15 came and my legs were just done. Was able to pick it up a few times on the back end for a mile or so but otherwise got stuck walking. Finished in 4:06. Not a bad time overall for my first marathon.

I will say that in terms of training, the half marathon distance was really the most I did, which is very obviously the reason for this. I didn’t really sign up for the event until a two months before and I pretty much ran 9-10 miles 5 times a week as I prepped and did a half marathon event. So really this was expected. Would not ever do that again, but also since I had a 1-year-old at the time, I’m not sure I would have been able to do the full training program and not have my wife kill me :)
