As long as they have a group to scapegoat

Are you suggesting a political affiliation test for contractors? I don’t see how that could go wrong.

Get involved locally. Change the world in your vicinity.

Don’t be an idiot

My favorite android calculator does this too. It’s super frustrating.

On the left is racism AND genocide. But you knew that already, you’re just happy to mislead.

I never got a runners high before 10k or so. But even then it’s not a “high” it’s a strong feeling of well being and the sense that I could keep going indefinitely.

Now that I don’t jog so much the mood improvement I get from regular exercise is even more subtle, but I still feel it’s significant.

That comment added to one of the cited posts “and this is how you develop borderline personality disorder” is stupid and irresponsible. BPD is so deep, complex, and harmful that I bet that person has never had to deal with it in the first place.

Isn’t that just a very dark Charlize Theron on the right?

I just had to purchase a vehicle. My insurance company basically asked me not to buy a KIA or Hyundai and warned that the premiums for those makes were super high.

I don’t care if you don’t think it’s right for gay people to get married, but the moment you try to take my friends’ or family’s rights away, then we’re going to have conflict. Do you see the difference?

Disgraceful life? What on earth are you referring to?

I was about to make the same comment. It looks like my terminal.

Try pooling your resources with others. I know my experience was from a long time ago but this is how I see people making it work now as well.

I had roommates for several years after school. It should have been even longer but I had to get married early like a dumbass. If you can at all, use that time to save what you can.

While you’re doing that, get experience and connections at work. People will come and go and it’ll be helpful to have people you can reach out to that know you enjoy your work and see that you’re good at it.

Most companies don’t provide good growth opportunities from within so every couple years, look at making a move. My biggest pay jumps have occurred this way.

Don’t be afraid to apply for positions that you might feel are just out of reach. Having connections that can vouch for you and help you with your resume are very valuable for these.

Along the way, don’t pass up your employer’s retirement matching, and save as much as you can. Since you don’t have a degree, look for certifications in your industry or take advantage of any help your employer can provide with tuition for college. Don’t be afraid to do it slowly if you have to.

I know I had a lot of help getting opportunities but it was always on me to make the most of them. Good luck, I hope you make it where want to be.
