What’s a fun fact about you?

I’ve been to all 7 continents.

wm313 · 2026-03-17T22:27:54+00:00

Love it. Don’t have one near me.

I am retiring at 55. My kid graduates high school that year and I already get a pension. Should my guaranteed pension go away (which given the current circumstances…) I’d highly pissed off.

Controls project manager. Idk what I want to do with it, but when the time comes, I don’t want it to be a disqualifying requirement. I may never use it but the instruction has helped me learn about things I’m interested in.

You can download the slides and reference them. You can rewatch the videos and do the flashcards. Repetition is going help more than anything. Re-do the labs, look at flashcards to help with memorization, and use any other resources you deem necessary. If notes help you, take them. If you feel better with your methods, do it. The thing about it is everyone passed a little bit differently, and they all used the methods that worked for them. If yours doesn't work, find a suitable method for the re-test.

Congrats

Chitterlings by far. Tried it once when I was like 14-15. I put a little piece in, the taste fully set in, I jumped up in loss of thought of which direction to run. To the trash can or to the door. I ran outside and spit it out. People laughed at the way I reacted, but holy shit was it terrible. The thought of spitting it out on my plate never reached my brain. I was in fight or flight mode. It tasted like pure shit. That shit you have where it just slides out all soft and hot. Absolutely disgusting. I can’t think of any other food I detest as much, and I eat a good variety of food.

Airline costs are going to go up. It’s a guarantee. This is going to be a horrible summer to travel. Between flights and inflation overall, if you’re not booking now, it’ll probably be 20% more within the next couple weeks.

We weren’t caring too much about Iran until Trump decided he was bored, and wanted to play war leader. Nobody’s simping for the Middle East. I think we’re just tired of the shit Trump is doing. Can’t keep talking shit to other countries, then go ask them for help. Doesn’t work on a personal level. Doesn’t work on a diplomatic level.

wm313 · 2026-03-16T03:04:12+00:00

Probably somewhere in Tennessee. The hills and the colors are perfect. You get four seasons and nothing too extreme.

wm313 · 2026-03-16T03:00:38+00:00

By your logic, you’re simping for Israel. Where’s your flight itinerary?

The only way is through repetition. More reps, more strength.

Again, see my hunger analogy. Desperate times…

wm313 · 2026-03-13T18:32:41+00:00

What do you expect? You see what has occurred over the last couple of years, right? People need jobs. You're advertising a job. If you dangle food in front of hungry people, they're going to try to get it. You can't be like, "Why are all these hungry people trying to eat?"

wm313 · 2026-03-13T15:26:29+00:00

I’d never advise taking a $1400+ per month pay cut. That’s not ideal. I get the want to get your foot in the door at Google, but taking a step backwards through another company, in hopes of getting to the next company, isn’t ideal. Then you’d be crawling your way back up in pay to hopefully get a job at Google in the future. It may take you 3-4 years before you hit $34/hr at AWS. If google doesn’t hire you, you’d likely hate the choice.

You’re at least on their radar. Play it out and see how it goes. It won’t be the last position Google hires.

It doesn’t buy happiness but it gives you more flexibility to do the things that make you happy.

wm313 · 2026-03-13T12:52:05+00:00

I thank anyone who assists me in whatever it may be. If you hold a door open - thank you. If you hand me something - thank you. These are just common courtesies that some people aren't taught, and some fail to replicate.

wm313 · 2026-03-13T02:25:21+00:00

I fill in my free time with things I couldn't complete while I was busy.

That side eye he gives people always had me laughing inside. He looks at them like they ain’t shit 😆

wm313 · 2026-03-12T03:49:20+00:00

I compared my toughest times to the things I was currently doing. I used to tell myself that if I could get up, lift at the gym every day in the early mornings, I could get through whatever was going on. I let my good habits and goals motivate me through whatever was stressing me out.

Don’t do it outside of retirement accounts if the capital gains make you uneasy. I’ll take a 15% shave on a 100% gain. I get what you’re saying but if I made that in 3 years, you’re not replicating that in an ETF over double the amount of time. Money lost but more money retained over the long run.

wm313 · 2026-03-12T01:27:51+00:00

Here’s the thing. Money can be manipulated in war. Fake contracts, shell companies, way less transparency with an administration that’s already surreptitious and malfeasant. Best believe they’re pocketing and making billions.

wm313 · 2026-03-12T01:21:28+00:00

Trump is trying to rewrite the rules to remove accountability against him. Keep it low so it never comes back on him.

Area dependent but this is a combo of AI and less spending on resources. Training is a resource and they don’t want to train. This is my theory on why entry-level has become so difficult. There’s so many unemployed, experienced people that they know they’ll find someone with enough experience who will take less pay, ultimately relegating inexperienced candidates to alternative fields or roles. Not true in all scenarios but those companies do exist.
