Homeschooled children have always had a reputation for being quite a bit “off” socially(no offense I come from a strange situation too). Now all of these children will be on that level, only with overworked parents who never wanted to homes

Housing in the USA has been relatively cheap for a very long time. I think those times are over. The local news has been reporting on this bust in the Seattle area but median prices are barely down from a year ago. People are still lucky if

Precisely. It isn't fun or weird because YOU aren't fun or weird. If you were fun or weird you'd already know where all the fun and weird stuff is.

Why? Most sane people aren’t leveraged into crypto at all. I suspect this is the crypto bubble burst vs the dotcom burst 2.0. But if you were frisky enough to invest in crypto you deserve what is coming, just like a pets.com investor in 200

Assume it is illegal, will your average employer care enough to pursue damages for six months of lost wages? How do you prove the employee wasn’t simply incompetent?

I don’t know. I’m not a lawyer. But also what is stopping just any old person from doing this once or twice a year? Is being fireable fraud? I doubt it but again, I’m not a lawyer.

Well, apparently "she" didn't. She was fired. The thing is, you could potentially make 40-80k(OR MORE!!!) after taxes faking it for six months. I've been thinking about this scam a lot lately. In fact, there's nothi

I look around at every. single. internet community on the planet and I struggle to find a single one that isn't full of assholes. Including the very space I am on right now. And yet - when I step outside and go talk to people and hang

If you live near the wilderness urban interface expect this. Spreading out into mountain/desert suburbs causes issues that you would've never noticed before because well... millions and millions of people never lived there before.

I thought this was going to be interesting but it’s a markdown file of information your partner should already have. The lesson from this markdown file is that if your partner can’t figure this stuff out on their own you need to sort it out

I think it takes a pretty extreme leap of mental gymnastics to figure out how to look at this in a negative light.

Brother, don't get me wrong. I'm completely empathetic. This place is not for everyone. I've moved all over too. When I didn't like a place I figured out what was next went for it. I didn't complain about it on an u

No offense and not trying to be racist or anything but I’ve never really worked with someone from South Asia or Eastern Europe who didn’t have some sort of insane crippling communication problem that made working with them nearly impossible

The more and more I grow older I think these types of forums are pure unreadable garbage. There are nuggets of great information and wisdom here and there, but the people that dish that out aren't commenting that often. However; you ha
