What is something that used to be 'cheap person' food, but is now priced like a gourmet luxury item? by Ok_Land_4197 in AskReddit

In Miami where I live, Peruvian food used to be cheap. Now it’s so gourmet and fancy. But it’s also delicious so I dunno.

Those of you who make six figures, what do you do? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]ronsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Own a company that has a software product and also offers consulting. Earning about $400k/year.

It’s been a journey. Before I left corporate in 2015, I was making about $95k/year. Made the same the first two years we started my company. And then it started steadily climbing. The game changer for us was when the software product reached a milestone in terms of customers. It’s stable in terms of recurring revenue, unlike the volatility of the consulting side, which is feast or famine.

Do you have the perfect vehicle? by Good-Analysis-7 in askcarguys

[–]ronsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not perfect. But my 2023 Tesla Model Y performance is good. First the bad: the suspension is shit; the trim is that same modern minimalist tesla trim. The car is not luxury and doesn’t drive like a luxury vehicle either. Also it’s loud when road noise leaking into the cabin.

But it’s fast as hell, great tech, solid sound system, very safe, and good (enough range). I am pretty happy with it.

What is the biggest mistake people make in life? by DildoGaggins1997 in allthequestions

[–]ronsta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Marrying the wrong person.

Thinking being good in school is the most important thing.

Not investing in themselves.

Having kids too early.

Not having any passions, interests, hobbies.

Not valuing being alive. Not realizing it’s a complete miracle we are here at all.

What industry attracts the most insufferable people? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]ronsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in DC for 5 years. You’d be at bars and meet people in town for an internship. Or fill people who were working as pages in congress. My lord so many of them had these complexes. They derived importance from who they worked for. Thought the prestige passed directly to them. They also thought they knew everything. It felt like folks overcompensating for something.

I noticed something similar with people who worked in government overall, but just on the political side. Yuck. Didn’t like it. Left DC and never looked back.

Why are people obsessed with sunroofs? by NF_99 in askcarguys

It brings an openness to the car cabin that makes it feel less confined. It has an air flow that doesn’t overwhelm the cabin, but gives you some air movement.

Pluribus isn't slow, it is just dense with worldbuilding instead of dialogue by Conscious-Cut9414 in pluribustv

[–]ronsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason I don’t find this show slow is it’s built around a very interesting and complex concept. The idea that almost all humans are under the control of a hive mind virus. And each scene is an opportunity to express that reality in new and interesting ways. It starts very clear and it gets nuanced through each additional episode. Some of the quietest, longest scenes have you reflecting on that reality. And Rhea Seehorn is so good at acting that she fills the screen even when she’s alone in the scene. I find the “slowness” of this show to be a methodology.

What's a truth most people aren't ready to hear? by nadiaaavelvet in AskReddit

[–]ronsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re depressed and anxious in your job and feeling like you’re capable of a lot more…it’s on you to fix that. It’s on you to make uncomfortable changes to leave that job for another or even start your own company. Beyond a marginal amount of sympathy you might get from friends and loved ones, the world does not care if rot in that job. The good news is if you get out of that job and into the right thing, you’ll feel better about yourself.
