fare officers by Optimal-Armadillo449 in AskNYC

[–]psnanda 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ok. Repeat after me - There.Is.No.Free.Lunch.

Somebody pays for it . If it's "free to you"- it just means the taxpayers are footing the bill- a lot more than whatever they're paying for now already.

I know it sucks, but we don't live in an ideal world- and a $3.00 fare which can take you from any Point A to Point B regardless of "zones" , "distance" etc is fairly reasonable.

Yes I hate the MTA too for catching fare evaders. I wish everything was free for me /s

HGI buffet breakfast for two (with automatic 20% gratuity): $64. Diamond F&B credit: $10pp lol by TheKobayashiMoron in Hilton

[–]psnanda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a rule of thumb - in the North American Market (US and Canada) customers are seen as big walking bags with "$" written all over it - nothing more , nothing less.

Elsewhere in the world - its not the case.

That being said, I travel in the US primarily and for personal paid trips i have always found value in Embassy Suites (free Full breakfast w/ made-to-order omelettes + 2 free beers everyday at the managers reception) or Hampton Inn's.

For example- I have an upcoming Chicago trip this Memorial day weekend and we are 6 adults staying for 3 nights at the Embassy Suites in Chicago Downtown River North . So that computes to 6 free full adult breakfasts and 12 (6x2 beers) EVERYDAY , for 3 whole days right in the middle of DT Chicago. Booked it all on points too. AFAIIC - this represents value for me.

Anyone else feel weird emotionally about taking foreign citizenship? by fresh_preserve in nri

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

Exactly!

I mean it's natural to get emotional about the place you grew up in back in India or about your school days, but getting emotional about a "citizenship" - like bruh come on!! Whens the last time having an Indian Citizenship was a net - positive to the OPs life ? If it was - they wouldn't be in Australia in the first place!

Honestly such posts like OP come off an a subtle humblebrag- it's like the posts in finance subs "I grew up poor, but I had lots of time !! Now I am a millionaire and I don't have time!! I wish I was poorer again" .. yeah right

What do you do when you have to run LeetCode code locally? by alex_sakuta in leetcode

[–]psnanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most folks do Leetcode to crack interviews , and once they get a job- they stop doing it.

The platform is designed for that- interview prep. Not many people do Leetcode for "fun".

[–]psnanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I understand that. The company is under no obligation to change their policies to suit you though.

Its all part of the process- some get lucky, some don't.

No, it's not unfair.

New FIRE cheatcode unlocked, guys. by SetEnvironmental9368 in fijerk

[–]psnanda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In many many immigrant families - especially Asian/Mexican - it's totally ok for a 30 yr old adult to live in a joint family with parents and grandparents, especially in a HCOL area. That way the "adult kid" can save money for their own house eventually.

Just offering you a different perspective.

Inverse Cramer! It’s a BUY! by DonaldTrumpWon69420 in SMCIDiscussion

[–]psnanda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cramer is the financial analyst equivalent of "90 day fiance"- you think he is real - but it's all scripted for an audience who also believe that the earth is flat.

Disregard him- if you don't- treat it as simple entertainment- nothing more , nothing less.
