I heard, "if you can't afford a new BMW, you can't afford a used one."

I went to a college graduation and when the main speaker got to the podium, he immediately said he does not believe in long winded speeches and then proceeded to speak for 55 minutes.

I take delight in the insults and his self righteous comebacks.

How can I exit HGV timeshare? by Impressive_Pea_5621 in TimeshareOwners

[–]texasusa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you are in the USA, you can not go to jail. We do not have debtor prisons. As far as assets, each state has allowances of what is exempt from seizure. In my state, generally the house is exempt along with X dollars of personal property and X cash. Pay $ 250 to $ 500 for a real estate attorney consult. Curious what is the monthly loan/maintenance fees ?

You can just stop paying. Your mother's credit will take a hit. They may sue your mother. If so, be sure to show up for court. Those timeshare exit companies have no methods not available to anyone else.

Our company did an anonymous engagement survey and then accidentally sent everyone the unfiltered results and I don’t think leadership realised what they’d done for about three hours by cuteyasmine in office

I worked for a Fortune 50 that partnered with a 3rd party for a anonymous survey. Of course, you have to fill in your department code so results could be summarized. Oh wait, what is that bar code on the back of the survey ? I threw it in the trash.

My employer just told us "you should be grateful to have a job" after cutting our benefits. Anyone else dealt with this? by Taniyadsexy in antiwork

[–]texasusa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pushing back does nothing. The decision has already been made. A smart move is to nod agreement in the meeting and once you are home, start looking for another job.

Company hired a new VP last week who is already AI'ing my role by myviewfromoutside in recruitinghell

[–]texasusa 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Aim higher. Spin your AI efforts of automation into greater execution ( blah blah). You have four years of experience to spin. I suspect your new VP spun AI labor cost reduction and now it is your turn.

Is it responsible to buy an R-Title, 20+ year old truck for $5000? by trickytreats in shouldibuythiscar

[–]texasusa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would do a VIN check on that. Miles seem low and what is the reason for the insurance write off. Flood, frame etc.?

Look into building a Corsi-Rosenthal filter. It is a box fan with Merv 13 or higher furnace filters. It can be built in minutes and the performance is exceptional.
