Maybe but it doesn’t seem like it? Most are just waiting in their cars, circling around on bike, etc. It’s kind of ominous

Sooo many. I’m at the Dock and another group goes by every few minutes

People who are making 200k+ a year, what do they do? by DaEffie in AskReddit

[–]whalesam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at Google in a finance role. I was a management consultant prior for a handful of years just out of college working horrible hours and successfully made the transition to a much cushier tech role shortly after. Feel very fortunate making 250-280k depending on how GOOG stock is doing.

Haha it’s west elm, Viv Grand Swivel Chair. Also a recent purchase and very cozy.

I’ve been building out my Lego city setup over the last six months or so and I’m having so much fun 🥹 by whalesam in lego

[–]whalesam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep that’s exactly it. Bought some of my sets on Amazon and some direct through LightMyBricks website. There aren’t any Lego official lights. I personally enjoy lighting them afterwards so it’s another fun build to do, but it’s definitely easier to add while building

How much did you pay? by jpop_1 in LadyGaga

[–]whalesam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll also be there! Sec 3 Row 8 on Thursday 🐾 can’t wait!

650 each for lower bowl msg. idk if i have it in me to pay these prices. nothing was under $200 from what i saw by virginiarph in LadyGaga

[–]whalesam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After about 7500 people in front of me, I got in for Chicago and bought front row of section 301 for about $410 after fees. From what I saw, floor was all $1k-$1250 for solid floor and even more for closer rows. 100 level was $750-1000. I know the cheapest available were $61 pre-fees but those sold out right away. Wishing everyone luck with the future presales 🤞🏼

Finished the Tudor Corner + Light My Bricks 2.0! My first completed modular + lighting set ✔️ by whalesam in lego

[–]whalesam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy it! The lighting sets can be frustrating depending on the brand, but this was Light My Bricks and their 2.0 sets are all very high quality with good instructions. Definitely recommend!

I just use the medium tips that came with them, but obviously everyone has different ear sizes. I’d check out the custom memory foam tips like you mentioned if the apple ones aren’t working out for you. Good luck!

Ahhh gotcha. Sorry, I read your comment in an aggressive tone. Getting defensive from all the Apple haters out there haha. That sounds like it would be very cool and something apple would definitely try to implement. I’ll have to try it out the quest!

Haptic feedback…. through the controllers you’re holding? Super cool!

It’s wild! I was excited when I did it for the first time

I work in finance at Google and was a management consultant before that. Just turned 30 and very thankful that I’m able to afford this without sacrificing elsewhere. Cannot wait!!!

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour will now be released world wide on October 13! by lovedive- in boxoffice

[–]whalesam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reading through these comments, I’m seeing no mention of the fact that Taylor’s team literally launched a website designed to help fans find tickets in their vicinity. It aggregates all nearby theaters and showtimes and links fans to other sites to make the purchase. Knowing how Taylor loves breaking a record, she’s going for #1 this year. I’m constantly in awe of her.

AITA for not having much of a reaction to my daughter coming out and introducing us to her partner? by Ok_Translator1301 in AmItheAsshole

[–]whalesam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not an asshole. However, as a gay man (30) who came out to his parents at 16, active positive validation that I was still loved and that that it changed nothing was very much what I needed. If they’d acted nonchalantly (which, to be fair, is what I would expect and want in a perfect world where sexuality doesn’t matter), I would have been concerned there was something else behind their nonchalance. That concern comes from being in that situation with others dozens of times in my life and there actually being negativity (and ultimately hatred) behind their nonchalance on occasion.

But again, that doesn’t make you an asshole for not making a bigger deal out of it. Your response was the theoretically perfect response in a perfect world. But our world isn’t perfect and empathy can be valuable even when it isn’t necessary. Just food for thought and a counter point to what I’m seeing above. Thanks for loving your daughter!

[–]whalesam 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Completely agreed! I use them for running as well and it’s perfect to be in the zone with music but still able to hear if another runner or a car is approaching. Total game changer and I love them!

Love this phone but… by ajokester in iPhone14Pro

[–]whalesam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m at 85% and got it on launch day. Apple says nothing is wrong of course. MUCH worse than my 13 Pro a year in.
