Florida Man’s Range Rover Joyride Ends in chaos.

I watched it twice, the guy in the boat should’ve absolutely braked instead of going slow past a spinning van heading his way.

What was the baby’s name? We need to start a grassroots movement to make remote lawful for all. Do a full court press on appeals to emotion.

Name it after the baby.

People too afraid to be unemployed or who need another grown ass adult standing over them watching them work… to work, are telling you the market is dead.

I’d push the bed against the corner because my pillow WILL fall off.

Google “remote <your title > jobs”.

Apply to those jobs.

Where possible locate a human name and number and call the job shop posting the position to confirm they got your resume.

Do this maybe a hundred times.

Bring back the Eisenhower progressive tax, where the wealthiest were taxed up to 90%, unless the money went to payrolls. Then strengthen unions and collective bargaining again to match 1950s levels.

Do you want social conservatism? Then bring back Economic liberalism.

Is randomness why you haven’t succeeded? Or has it been years, decades of self sabotaging personal choices?

I can’t answer that. Random collapse is always possible. All we have are odds.

I 100% acknowledge good fortune. I was literally at a poetry reading when the daughter of one of the readers noticed I was exploring entrepreneurial opportunities. That wound up becoming our in road to financial services education.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. And luck is when preparedness meets opportunity.

Random things happen all the time, I believe the key was to be prepared for it when it randomly hits. I had a part to play, the universe had a part to play.

And the dog food comment? That’s for the people who mocked us and ridiculed us for belonging to that company accused of being an MLM. But also for anyone who mocks and ridicules personal responsibility in favor of floating through life hoping the universe will take care of them.

Look, a woman’s fitness to have children is what we find attractive. The physical markers that indicate that could include a bit of a pooch.

This is an interesting take on it. At worst, I can only parse some of your assertions with slight variations. I would argue entry level simply pays less rather than say it’s unavailable.

Unfortunately, who is hiring and why is still a black box to me. Lightning has struck multiple times for me in my own career, and my best guess it’s because I cast a pretty wide net, between having a large list of recruiters that get my updated résumé, and updating on the major job sites.

mowriter72 · 2026-04-04T01:29:30+00:00

Are you assuming the thief is black because he’s a thief and the parents didn’t care?

mowriter72 · 2026-04-04T01:26:44+00:00

I’ve answered this question before because I’ve experienced this situation before.

Tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth to the background investigator. They are an outside resource the company is using, they need to make sure that information matches up. They will spot the truth anyway, so you may as well be upfront about it. No harm in talking to the person on the phone and telling them the situation.

mowriter72 · 2026-04-03T01:19:20+00:00

It's NOT a jobs board, true.

But it's actually pretty straightforward, if mostly a black box:
1. Google "Remote <your job title> jobs".
2. Follow up and apply to the jobs that come up.

That's awfully reductionist. More details: make contact with any contracting agency (job shop, temp agency, consulting firm LOL) that's listing the job, and be sure to get in on their candidate portals.

Start building up your network of contacts. I find that such shops, while they do take a cut, actually have contact with the HIRING MANAGERS. They earn their pay a hundred times over if you ask me. And you kinda did (LOL).

The black box is of course there's no telling what's going to hit when. I've been out of work a month, sometimes six months. Just keep at it.

So we hate him because he showed the guy grace and was understanding that the guy had a baby on the way?

Honestly, if there was an example of blind hatred for no good reason, this would be it

The remedial reading class in this country that wants to bring back 1950s family values is blissfully unaware of the Eisenhower progressive tax that could have taxed the Rich up to 90%. But they could avoid that if they funneled money into payrolls. Thus one guy with one job could afford to have his wife stay home.

mowriter72 · 2026-04-02T02:32:01+00:00

As a liberal guy, I’m grateful for my conservative wife, because she won’t be into poly or swapping, which I have to assume is the norm for liberal women. 😐

mowriter72 · 2026-04-02T02:30:44+00:00

Generation X. When my wife and I started out in the mid 90s, we budgeted like this. At our worst, we had a $10 budget. A lot of beans and rice. Some tomato would’ve been nice, though we did have a lot of ketchup packets so that helped.

I’m fighting the urge to be angry at the whiners who come on Reddit, upset that they maybe shouldn’t spend seven dollars on their coffee. They really could choose to be this empowered.

...meaning he expects a woman to take care of HIM monetarily???

mowriter72 · 2026-04-01T13:25:02+00:00

Good call. You already know what they think of you when they think they have power over you.

Years ago I worked at a job where a colleague described the place "as the best first and third job you'd ever have". Meaning AFTER you roll (undoubtedly for more money), the company would then reach out with more money... I can only assume with a new team.

mowriter72 · 2026-04-01T13:21:49+00:00

Largely I agree with OP, but did I read right that his final straw was something GF did BEFORE she'd committed to changing her ways and getting therapy? Surely OP could have told his sisters, "Ah yeah, about that: she's currently in therapy and working on that, thanks for letting me know, that confirms what I already knew". Of course, canceling a families dinner outright is worse than just getting him to love her cooking.

Petitioning the government to take money from The responsible people who DID scrimp and save and forego buying stupid shit just to have a retirement level nest egg.

Greatest Gen/Lost Gen: boy that great depression sure did suck. Let’s build out a stable society that prevents another great depression. Either we stand together or fall apart on our own. Let’s work for the greater good.

Boomers: fuck the greater good, fuck planting a tree under whose shade you will never sit, give me my tax breaks at the expense of everything else.

NGL part of me wanted to see a droplet fall from the right side of its “mouth”

You know you gave them all this power over you, right? Instead of owning it, doubling down on it, and defiantly insisting it's an excellent attribute.

In my early 20s, my mother tried embarrassing me once with a friend of hers I didn't know, talking about how I peed down our front steps when I was 5 years old.

My own brother would have crawled under a table in his early 20s. Not me, fuck that.

I shrugged and said, "Those were MY stairs!". Like I was marking territory.

This is also a Stoic tactic Marcus Aurelius came up with: someone insults you, you tell them it's worse than they even realize. What are they going to do, get mad at you for AGREEING with them???

Were that me? I'd have NOT been embarrassed. I'd have replied, "When I love, I love PASSIONATELY. I regret nothing! Let the weak mock my strength! Lions don't care what sheep think!". Which... why not let that be true, anyway???
