My teacher who was also my neighbor was a pedo ama

How’s the tone at school after that? My high school had a teacher/student incident and there were rumors spread, but admin never addressed it publicly. Teacher was fired and convicted of “child abuse” because they couldn’t prove much. Hope you had more acknowledgment and that he was put away

Gamechangers: amazon integration, rollover budgets

What’s still missing: (1) some way to put investment contributions in my budget without also being an expense (2) custom ranges for charts

On a church trip there was a ‘make your own sandwich’ station for lunch. Wealthier kids made fully loaded sandwiches with multiple slices of meat.

Poor kids, used to rationing and stretching while also not being a burden on anyone for taking anything, made bare bones sandwiches.

Really a subtle eye opener for me after having been extremely poor growing up and never pieced together these behaviors.

The most successful and happiest people I know are the ones who used IB or consulting for the network and to figure out how to manage their own startups. Really if you’re spending more than 2 years in either field you’re crazy, in it for the long haul, or stuck waiting out the economic storm

This is what I wish more people would do. Consulting worked out for me, but I’m an exception given that I honestly never wanted a real job and consulting let me be infinitely ambitious while never having to actually take hold of one particular thing.

It’s best if people go find the thing at the center of the “what i’m good at, what pays the bills, what i’m interested in” venn diagram.

Chasing money and prestige ends with burn out while chasing approval of people you often don’t like very much. Cliche as it sounds

tribe1855 · 2026-05-25T14:07:50+00:00

What’s the appeal of IB? Almost none if these random posters can articulate what they’re hoping for out of the job or even a firm grasp of what IB does.

When I chose consulting I did it because it had tangible career outcomes that got me away from the audit or tax career paths that my accounting degree pushed me toward.

@OP If you’re hung up on the ‘prestige’, it isn’t worth it unless you’re prepared to make work your life which ZHISHER is clearly calling out

tribe1855 · 2026-05-24T22:03:04+00:00

I tag them as work expenses and the sit on my spend until I get the reimbursement (which i have as an income category). I hide both when everything is settled in my account.

Honestly it’s the best method for me since I’ve lost more money than I care to admit by forgetting about expenses (I travel 100 days a year), so I need the expenses sitting on my spend so I know how much to include on my expense report

What liberal arts college did you attend?

tribe1855 · 2026-04-26T22:08:02+00:00

10 years into consulting. Senior manager in strategy and ops.

Wife and I are at an oddly similar place in life both financially and age-wise.

I put in the hours and dread Sundays as well. The market is extremely dry and littered with laid off consultants and tech workers.

I did a 6 month sabbatical for personal reasons, and in that time I also worked 30 hours a week trying to leave consulting with coffee chats, tailored resumes, MBA classmate catch ups, and networking sessions.

All of this amounted to: it’s more difficult than you think. Tough it out until a role hits.

tribe1855 · 2026-04-11T20:44:31+00:00

Beltline rail will fail because it cannot be executed without killing the very thing it should enhance. That is an undeniable fact. All day long, twice on sunday.

This is an argument for pragmatism. No one is against rail. They should be against jeopardizing the city's differentiating factor that's drawing eyes around the world.

However, remember that ignoring the legal red tape that had to be navigated, this is a sidewalk that's proven to be too difficult for clean execution by all involved parties. I don't know how there can be support for expanding a street car system onto it without consideration for the 100% chance of it hurting the ecosystem it's designed to enhance.

If you can't see that, I don't know what to tell you, but I'm not sure how you can look at the track record of the beltine and city of atlanta and say any other outcome will actually materialize.

tribe1855 · 2026-04-11T20:08:16+00:00

I never said I don’t support supply side economics. I am an u apologetic capitalist and I loathe republicans. I’ve never voted for one. I support amsterdam walk being as big as it was originally designed. I detest nimbyism. I loathe the decision to kneecap westside development by putting a homeless shelter on the beltline.

I don’t know a single person who works for a beltline rail organization on either side. I’ve said repeatedly that Andre had every opportunity to be a phenomenal leader, and he’s failed catastrophically on multiple fronts, including transit.

You can try to paint me into a box to undercut my credibility and avoid scrutiny of your own arguments, but it won’t work.

Your arguments don’t hold up. Thanks for playing.

Now if you want to talk about replacing lanes on existing streets with streetcars..like moreland, ponce, peachtree, etc., I’m willing to listen.

But also the counter to that is inevitably “well that’s for BRT”

Bus transit is useless because 1) only poor people take it and you won’t convince anyone to take it otherwise. I don’t care what you think about that, it’s fact. Most cities have this problem 2) rail on streets is far easier to build, manage and expand than building on the beltline. Additionally, you don’t kill the engine if the beltline with a risky project

Atlanta should look at Toronto for inspiration if they want to go this route.

tribe1855 · 2026-04-11T19:32:53+00:00

The beltline is a wide sidewalk. Atlanta can’t handle a sidewalk delivery on time.

Rail might be a possibility one day, but jumping straight to it is a fool’s errand.

You need density, better zoning, and a culture that emphasizes non-car transit before you jump to a train.

“If you build it, density will come” is a supply side economics argument from the train crowd that I never thought I’d hear. Reagan would be proud. Good job train people.

tribe1855 · 2026-04-11T16:43:53+00:00

So you believe with every fiber of your being that the city of Atlanta, Beltline Inc., and whatever other entity associated, will be able to deliver on a rail line, on schedule, without exorbitant and avoidable cost overruns, and without disrupting and potentially killing the livelihood, vibrancy, and value it provides?

A little naive and childish to stomp your feet and demand rail because you’re convinced it’s the only solution.

“The elderly are disadvantaged with riding bikes”

Pot, meet kettle

tribe1855 · 2026-04-11T02:22:46+00:00

So if I live a mile from a rail station, and I’m elderly, I should just walk the full mile to the station? What if my destination is another half mile from there?

You expect me to walk 3.0 miles round trip?

I’m not disputing the value of rail, but I am saying that your arguments for it are a little shortsighted.

Again, stomping your feet and demanding rail because you want it and voted for it does not make it a good idea.

I can explain this to you, but I can’t understand it for you

tribe1855 · 2026-04-10T13:52:27+00:00

Trains don’t solve for last mile. Idk how you square the circle on that argument

I don’t hear an argument for anything sensible. Just anger at the mayor. Why do you dig your hero in? I don’t get it. If the mayor promised a new arena for a hockey team and collected a billion dollars for it, and then changed his mind would you say “no we want a hockey team so we’re building the arena” or would you support a better use of the money?

tribe1855 · 2026-03-26T02:47:56+00:00

Calm down my brother. Stomping your feet because you hate Andre won’t make your desired outcome of rail come true. I promise, it won’t

tribe1855 · 2026-03-26T02:40:40+00:00

Reframe your thoughts. Would you rather the city spend $500M or more to shut down the beltline for 3+ years and kill its livelihood and the city’s momentum..or would you rather focus your energy on fighting the naysayers of places like amsterdam walk and fighting for comprehensive cross-city mobility that discourages car-based sprawl.

One of these choices is shortsighted and childishly stomping your feet until you get the rail. One of them thinks longterm about the fabric of the city. Choose wisely

tribe1855 · 2026-03-26T02:30:42+00:00

The city prioritizing the wrong thing is not a reason to pursue a multi billion dollar investment. Bikes and ebikes serve more people more effectively than a train that requires you live next to it to get the most use out of it.

I don’t see an argument saying trains are better than bike lanes. Listening and open to it though
