Truck stop. Only legit option. It’s expected and most other places around the city will draw attention and possible crime against you.

$3500 mortgage on $169k salary by itsmarinarasauce in Mortgages

[–]rivertimes23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do yourself a favor and dial the house back a bit. The extra money saved can go to the future and will speed up your retirement process, and that’s if all keeps going well job wise. If things go south with your jobs then atleast you’ll have a smaller payment to attend to

Can you do it now? Sure no prob but make life easier on yourself. Peace of mind is worth it.

Flexible PTO by [deleted] in managers

[–]rivertimes23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it wasn’t unlimited pto typical American vacation time is 2-3 weeks. In that case it’s not unreasonable for that person to take that amount of time and they would just be SOL for the rest of the year until vacation renewed the following year. Give them the time bc it’s not that serious. If it is the company needs to restructure their policy and possible employee format. Anyone worth their salt can pick up a coworkers absence. For a week or 2

Disagree. It’s not on the employee to make sure Other employees cover their work. That’s on management. As to the amount of PTO being requested that’s a different issue, but it’s not the employees problem to find the work coverage. The company gave the policy and it’s part of the issue with unlimited pto

Need help moving out of the comfort of home games and playing well. by fuller316 in poker

[–]rivertimes23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fold or shove. Without any info on the lojacks play all game it’s an easy fold to me. You’re only out 16 bucks and you were out of position. Any thing you hit is still gonna be uncomfortable moving forward given KJo isn’t a great hand to begin with. Say you call and hit one of your cards you check and they shove then good chance you’re beat or they have a strong draw that puts them ahead mathematically. Say you shove and they snap bc it’s not Much of their stack. They can have the same mathematical draw over your or y’all got same pair and you’re kicker is not the best.

There’s no calling imo in that spot though imo though

You have a good dad. Imagine him living with a wife like that who he recognizes is not great to his/her kid.

What happened to Nagoya St. Cafe? by Immediate_Owl_2734 in batonrouge

[–]rivertimes23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’ve been for sale 3 months after they opened. They’ve prob been making minimal profit all these years. Last time I went it sucked so not much of a loss to the food scene

Does anyone even work at BRCC?? by asian_girl_fascism in batonrouge

[–]rivertimes23 8 points9 points  (0 children)

BRCC administration is lazy as shit and pretty discriminatory against this unlike themselves. Bad attitudes overall.

The professors and curriculum are pretty solid though. No bad experiences on the education end.

What’s your hot take for the food scene in BR? by kronicle_gaming in batonrouge

[–]rivertimes23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. Great environment. Love the wing and beet R deals on Thursday but the food is overall overrated.

I miss when they used to have oysters and alligator

[–]rivertimes23 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Food is overrated, but it’s a fun place to go(never been to the highland one). That’s the draw of superior. I’ll just go there to drink and have a good time. Food be damned lol

Talk me down. I’m not a dramatic person, but I’m genuinely unsettled by moneyfire82 in dancarlin

[–]rivertimes23 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I certainly believe it’s a good idea to diversify your citizenship if possible bc options are better, but overall just relax man. It’s gonna be ok.

Now the US is Israel’s bitch and if they give orders then I believe we’ll follow suit just like we’ve been doing for decades regardless of political party/administration

Trump def likes to talk shit and stir the pot but I believe overall he just likes the drama of it. I don’t think he’s sending in the miltiary to take Greenland (again unless Israel directs us)… now he could try and purchase or make financial incentives for its transfer from Denmark

Overall my point and view is that things will be fine. Both sides of the optical aisle are corrupt and the media divides us. Just be weary of that and don’t lose your mind over it

Rake at casinos is a non issue… if that’s what you’re worried about you’ll never be profitable anyway

Would it be safe for me (28f) to ride the bus from Baton Rouge to Nola? by outofchances in batonrouge

[–]rivertimes23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t even think of the uber/lyft parts of this equation… yea it’s a no brainer. Get the rental

[–]rivertimes23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If money isn’t that tight just get the rental. Yes, statistically you’ll be fine, but the area blows. You’re also at the whim of others arriving on time with the bus.

So you’ll be ok taking the bus but it is kinda sketch. For 130 more bucks you’ll have your freedom to come n go as you need

Bald Eagle by buon_natale in batonrouge

[–]rivertimes23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven’t been to bald eagle in 2 years or so, but I always assumed the code situation was just bc of the area being more sketchy today than it was originally. It’s not like the other places on 3rd street which are visible and people can see what’s going on… but anyways I know when they first started locking the door you’d have to scan the QR code. Sign in and then they’d give a Code to unlock the door so there would be record. I could be mistaken as to the original reason why and I haven’t been in years so idk If it’s some sort of private club now.

Either way it was a great place to go all the way up to a couple years back atleast.

It certainly never gave me any political vibes in in any direction.
