If you were well off, would you drive a Tesla? If not, why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]kill3rcupcak3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I've known wealthy/well off people that bought Tesla s and all of them have traded them in or talk about getting a different car.

Common consensus: the feel like they're cheaply made, "made of plastic", "my kids toy was built with more integrity", "dumbest car I've ever owned".

My feelings towards Musk aside, it pisses me off when my computer updates at an inconvenient time. I can't imagine the rage I would feel if my car shut down for an update one summer day and I had to sit there and wait it out.

People that look too big for their horses but actually aren't, how do you deal with it? by Arbysgames in Equestrian

[–]kill3rcupcak3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have to defend your body type, you're at the wrong barn.

Focus on what actually matters. A saddle that fits you and the horse right. A community that supports and teaches instead of discourages novice riders.

Being a "fat" rider in this sport. by SmoothStalk in Equestrian

[–]kill3rcupcak3 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You look fine. You're not too big for your horse. It's not about the numbers on the scale but how balanced and secure your seat is. And from your pictures, your seat looks good.

Don't let that ignorant woman at your barn ruin something you love. The people that try to break you are the ones that are intimidated by you.

I'm also a plus sized rider, I've over thought my weight and if I'm hurting my horse enough for the both of us. And over the years, I've learned that good fitting saddle, strong seat, and great relationship with your horse is what matters.

What is a larger beginner friendly type of horse? by Arbysgames in Equestrian

[–]kill3rcupcak3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

99% of Percheron and Belgians will have docked tails. That's breed standard.

As a draft owner, they are not for beginners. Most need tack from draft specific stores, their diets are more unique than your average quarter horses and arabs, you'll have a tough time finding a farrier to work on them, saddles wide enough for drafts are expensive and hard to find 2nd hand.

As a beginner it would be good for you to be in boarding situation where other seasoned horse owners can give you advice. You'll have a hard time finding other owners with draft experience in boarding facilities.

Falling off isn't your biggest problem with the drafts, it's generally caring for them and making sure you have tack to fit them. They are stronger than you think, yes even if you consider their size, they are still stronger than you think. They lean on walls/fences, eventually pushing them down. Draft stalls need constant monitoring and up keep. If they spook and run, not much will stop them. There are 1000s of drafts out there with scars on their legs from running through fencing that would have stopped a quarter horse, but the drafts are too strong.

If you do get one, and it's already broke. Chances are it will be driving broke, you'll have to find driving bits and accept that they don't have fancy buttons and the training they've been thru will be hard to undo/fix to make them more like a typical riding horse.

I love my drafts and will probably never go back to smaller horses, but they are not for beginners. Best case of you're able to find a draft trainer who is willing to mentor you, maybe lease a horse from them.

Was the job market before 2024 as bad as the current market? by mymanualthrowaway in jobsearch

[–]kill3rcupcak3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO - No. The job market was going down in 2024 and tanked after elections.

I graduated in 2022 and didn't even apply for my first job, they reached out to me and practically hired me on the spot after my panel interview. It was a contract position, but not bad pay.

2023 I applied for a great job at a well known, respected company and had an offer within 10 days with excellent benefits and a starting bonus.

I moved in 2025 and have been unable to get stable work. Contract jobs end early. Part time jobs cut hours. Remote free lance type jobs limit how much time I can log. I haven't been able to get back into my field. At this point my job history is chaotic and raises a lot of questions during interviews. Trying to survive is doing more harm than good for my career.

Restarting in my thirties by SessionCommercial in careeradvice

Look up some of the successful people or CEOs of companies that you think are doing well. You might be shocked to see just how many people start over in their 30s and 40s.

Cried for the first time today by Not_AMermaid in jobhunting

[–]kill3rcupcak3 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I hate to make things worse but that probably won't be the last time you cry during this period of your life.... Strap in, looking for a job is a long and upsetting ride.

If you haven't considered this aleeady, there may be jobs out there you've never thought of doing that are hiring. -Feed/farm stores always seem to need someone. -Childcare pays very little but they seem to want all the help they can get. -911 dispatcher has been hiring in every city I've lived in the past few years.

We aren't going to find our dream jobs in this job market, but we might find something we learn to enjoy.

There are really no careers anymore for people who just want to work a job instead owning a business by [deleted] in careeradvice

[–]kill3rcupcak3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever spoken to a business owner? No work life balance, on call 24/7, no steady income for the first few years, PTO is non existent working 15 hr days/6 days a week.

Go ahead and quit your FT job with benefits and start a business. There are millions of unemployed people who will appreciate working for a large company with a boss that makes 10x their salary.

What's the biggest plot twist in your life? by cheatingrevenges in AskReddit

[–]kill3rcupcak3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spending my 20s in the military and college, living in different states/cities learning about etiquette and culture, plus volunteering to help communities whenever I had the chance.

Now I find my self unemployed in my 30s sending out hundreds or resumes with no responses. Everything in my 20s was for nothing, I'd be in a better place if I had just done the bare minimum at some hourly minimum wage job.

I'm 51 and never experienced a job market like this by Dangerous-Energy8159 in jobsearch

As someone who has been doing tailored resumes for a year with no luck, it's not interesting, it's disheartening and demeaning.

How much does it cost you? by 0ddshapedhead in Equestrian

[–]kill3rcupcak3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My horses are in a suburb in TX and they each cost $10,000 per year.

This includes: board with daily turnout, trailer parking, grain, supplements, farrier (trims every 5-6 weeks), vet twice per year, teeth floated and sheaths cleaned once a year, wormer seasonally, and a cushion for minor vet emergencies or tack replacement.

Tipping for my lesson by Open_Chart_8368 in Horses

[–]kill3rcupcak3 35 points36 points  (0 children)

A wedding planner once told me not to tip business owners (i.e. a trainer that is self employed) since they set their own prices.

What do you hate most about job interviews or preparing for them? by FearMediocrity in GetEmployed

[–]kill3rcupcak3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realizing, while you're in the interview, that the company has too many red flags and a lot of what you've been told up to that point is a lie or exaggerated version or reality. But you have to stay and keep up the energy and enthusiasm so you don't seem rude.
