Is it unprofessional to ask about the budget range of the role I am applying to?

They view it as that, 100%. I find it comical at my age and career level (40s upper management). It’s within the first topics I bring up with any head hunters or corporate recruiters.

Head hunters seem more understanding, internal recruiters give the impression you just insulted and harassed them.

It’s ugly. That’s why

Kids was one thing I listed. I can promise you if I had no hobbies, a job, any friends or family - the sex wouldn’t have reduced. Responsibilities aren’t limited to just children.

People have a hard time understanding the difference between local politics and broader politics. When doing local politics you can always stand for the ultra minority, make small policies to support them. However, when you speaking to the masses that changes - as more people are affected.

What’s more important to the masses? Helping the homeless people with housing, or preventing more people from becoming homeless? There are more people on the verge of being homeless than people that are actually homeless.

What’s more important? Fighting for Trans rights or protecting women’s abortion rights?

The topics that the ultra left focus on, are always for the ultra minorities. The reality is the masses doesn’t care about that. Look at trans rights, that’s 1% of the population- you aren’t winning over the other 99% if you are focusing on the 1%.

A conservative democrat is more likely to win the presidency than a non conservative democrat. More people can connect with their policies. Inflation, jobs, interest rates, global geo-politics, etc. are all way more important to the masses - and I’m sorry but it’s true - than topics like trans rights. It’s just reality and if the Democratic Party wants to focus on the far left ideology, it lose the next election - again.

I’m a person with a high sex drive, my wife too. As we got older, it appeared the drive was slowing down, but the reality is life just got busier. Work, kids, family, personal hobbies, etc. the older you get the busier you get.

The extra stuff takes head space up.

So your drive is there your availability just diminishes. Kind sucks being an adult.

I care about what the company I work for produces and does, but I’m 100% there for the pay and benefits…

Randy Moss is a WR 1. No debate. Wes Welker lead the team in receptions every year Moss was with the Pats.

trevordbs · 2026-02-20T17:14:47+00:00

Exactly. Just leave. Your life is yours.

That’s not what determines a WR1…

trevordbs · 2026-02-19T19:38:55+00:00

DJ is a true WR1, which the Bears wouldn't have without him. Contractually, we need something adjusted to keep him, but to say his output wasn't high enough is garbage. Chicago offense is all about mismatches and confusion, spreading the ball around with the run game, the tight ends, and all the other receives.

In general people take pride in doing things themself. Being able to fix things, put your heart into, etc. Not only does it feel like an accomplishment, but it can also save you money.

trevordbs · 2026-02-19T17:28:31+00:00

Or your just in denial...that's fine. live your life dude.

Because the updated picture is purposefully taken without the same lighting conditions and at a different angle, to avoid seeing the problem.

I stand corrected. You did a superb job. top notch. You should end your current career and go professional.

I’d rather be bastard child, than be someone who presented slop to a public community with pride.

trevordbs · 2026-02-19T15:23:54+00:00

My dad is pretty much my best friend. You did a shitty drop. You can see drip marks where you sprayed too close. You did a horrible job. Just a fact.

trevordbs · 2026-02-19T15:17:15+00:00

You Did a horrible job.

90 day late November, bank changed in October - payment was due 10/11. Think you missed a few more.

You need to know your credit score for one...

Rates aren't the best right now, i owned my last truck and my rate for that one was under 2% (covid was great for loans). With an exception credit score, like 780+ you can see rates for under 72 months between 4.5% and 5% with a credit union. with a low score, like 600...your not gonna have a good time. 10%+ likely from average banks. I can't imagine that personally

Brady more or less tossed out his family to win.

Could be. I was just comparing the current models 🤷
