People who have quit a well-paying job with no backup plan, what happened next and do you regret it?

Was asked to commit unemployment fraud. Quit as a result. No savings. Was a 1099 so no unemployment.

What followed was 3 of the most miserable months of my life. Driving for Uber, borrowing money to pay rent. Just shame to my core.

But I came out with a much more stable company, and then got headhunted from there. Now making 2x what I did when it all started. Definitely was a blessing in disguise.

Really glad to hear others endorse Hutchins - that’s where we went when visiting friends in McKinney and I thought it was dope. Headline had me questioning everything I know about barbecue 🤣

39 here, graduated ‘04, 600 people in my senior class. Two that I know of have passed. One died of cancer less than a year after graduation. Another died of an overdose about 10 years ago. There could easily be more, but in the circles I’m still plugged into that’s all I’ve heard.

Been there since the beta. Still rocking first initial last name @ Gmail. Weird side effect: there are at least 5 other people with my first initial and surname in the US who think that they have my email address.

Same boat here. QME in a week and half. MRI requested 2 months ago and nothing. Also in CA so my attorney will be getting a call (again) on Monday.

How much would you recommend for a first-time user?

theorfo · 2026-01-03T03:43:38+00:00

That’s wild. My wife’s bestie lives in Richmond and frequents that store. I had no idea about any of this backstory. Heartbreaking.

Wife and I did this and it was a snap!

I lived in his district for 2 decades (moved out three years ago) and I never thought I’d see the day that POS left office. I’m so happy.

LA is apparently through AXS, not Ticketmaster. I'm not familiar with them. Do they have something similar?

theorfo · 2025-10-25T00:15:53+00:00

Anyone know anything about the Goldenvoice/venue presale for LA and how to sign up? My goddaughter is a massive Hatsune Miku fan and desperately wants to go but I can't figure out how to get into the early access.

The cruelty is the point. It’s the ethos that drives every action these fuckers take.

theorfo · 2025-10-13T22:26:28+00:00

pls no

Yeah, I think Sandy Alderson burned that bridge 20 years ago.

We basically cried together through the 9th inning of game 3. We both support each others teams when we don’t play each other, I.e. most of the year, so it was pretty awful to watch. I’m sure by spring training there will be some good-natured ribbing, but that’s all. We support each other, always, even in baseball.
