You’re right, I’m being very disingenuous

If you’re THAT emotional over a pet dying you need professional help man.

Im not trying to diminish your feelings, I’m sorry my dude, I feel for you I really do, but you shouldn’t really spiral into a deep depression over a pet.

You obviously have some other shit going on that would make you react that way and therapy will really help, not just with the grieving but understanding yourself.

Edit: just read your other comment. Yeah dude I really hope you are getting the help you need, and I can see how this would make you spiral. Im going through a break up myself rn, so I empathize the pain you felt before. I’m taking meds myself and trying to get through it as I had those same ideations.

You ever need to vent my dude DM me.

Yeah I would’ve been intelligent enough to look up my city’s ordinance about planting multiple trees in my front yard. Especially if I’m going to be leaving for several months afterwards.

Like it sucks you got your trees ripped out my dude, I’m sure you can try it again. Just search it up on the interwebs of your city. 100% you’ll find it. If you want Ill search it for you. You can plant some awesome stuff in upstate.

All the best to you my man.

6? What are you trying to make an orchard? That’s pretty aggressive. How big is your front yard? How long were you gone for to make the city take action? You wouldn’t get one notice, then a day later, they tear up your yard. You had to have been gone for a long time.

I have a fairly large front yard, and if I planted that many trees, yeah I’d get sited.

It doesn’t matter if you had fruit trees or not. That’s not a “you can’t plant trees in your front yard”, thats, “this many trees in a relatively small area can cause safety issues”

This is the answer right here.

Everyone is saying “it’s a sign of wealth” or “my HOA won’t let me”. Which yeah ok is more or less true.

Though, the real reason is it takes time, money, and a lot of effort. Which most people don’t have.

Oh shit that was real? I thought it was photoshop…

I had issues with the video player as well. I solved it by clearing my cache for the app.

Never experienced your other issue though.

That’s a 200 sqft studio with no kitchen in Manhattan.

Shit my rent is 2400 and that’s considered a steal for the place I live.

It’s not that I can’t do these things alone. It’s that I’d rather have someone there with me.

Probably because it is, they don’t like you, or they don’t want the job.

I’m not trying to be mean, but contractors will price it outrageously or say “this will be a big job” because they don’t want the job, so you say no.

Ehhh some of this is great advice about sales tactics, but you should definitely get a contractor to come out and look over the place again.

Reason being is if there is something that was missed in your initial inspection that another contractor found, you can go back to the realtor and demand them to be fixed. Especially for new builds.

However you only have a small window for this, because if you wait too long the realtor and or contractors can say it was you and it’s not their responsibility.

Also you should always get multiple bids from several contractors. If someone is going to do the job at a really low price, that means that contractor will cut corners, and do more harm than good. If someone is giving you an astronomical price that is completely unreasonable that means the contractor doesn’t want the job.

There is also this other “tactic” that construction companies know very well. That is if the company is trying to give you a deal, you as a customer are going to nitpick every little thing. Flip side, if they mark it up the customer will always believe it’s the best job that was ever done.

Source: my step father owned a large legit construction company, that I worked for, and my bio father owned a small shady construction company, that I also worked for.

I use a disposable vape now and I was adamant about not using one because of the wastefulness, until they banned flavored vape liquid in my state.

It started to get really hard to buy coils for my vape, because it became unprofitable for these companies to operate here, and then even harder to find the liquid I enjoy.

Non-disposable ones tend to be bulky too. Not to mention the maintenance is a huge pain in the ass. The non-disposable vapes tend to leak. Doesn’t matter which one you use. If you don’t prime the coil correctly they burn out in a few puffs, and you just wasted 5+ bucks on the coil you’ve been searching for. Coils only tend to last a few days to a week as well. So you’re always on this search to find coils. Also reusable ones only last for a few months to maybe a year anyway (if you’re lucky), then you have to spend 100+ on a new one.

Sure you could get the little pod ones but now you’re being wasteful because you can’t reuse those either, and break twice as fast.

Now I can buy 2 disposables that last a month, don’t leak, don’t take a lot of real estate in my pocket, are significantly cheaper, is easier to find, and the flavor is always consistent.

I would’ve been fine with my reusable one until they banned the products that allowed me to use it.

So yeah prohibition doesn’t work. You ban this people will just go back to smoking. Which is just as wasteful and way more toxic.

I have an old “smart” Vizio TV from like 2012 (?) that has outlasted 2 new 4k smart TVs. I’ll stick with this guy till it pops

I have enough in my emergency fund that if I lost my job I’d be ok for about a year.

I’m nearly to my goal, after that I’m going to change my focus to expanding my portfolio.

Still no way I can buy a house though. Need to make about 3x more money for that to happen.

I credit it to having a property owner that’s kept rent cheap and having low overhead, and being frugal borderline cheap.

Unless the driver wasn’t insured properly, Taxis cover your bodily injuries in an accident. They should have no medical bills associated with it, and the article is kinda vague on that. If anything they should be taking this up with the insurance company. Unless the driver wasn’t insured properly, and Uber didn’t do their diligence then yeah it’s on Uber.

This seems like these people are trying to sue for more than that though?

Do i believe that Uber is being shady trying to pull some garbage about a separate TOS, yeah that’s shady. They should take it to the next level of appellate courts, which I believe would be the Supreme Court now.

Though this isn’t apples to apples of the Disney thing.

So they were in an Uber, and ordered food on Uber eats, then the Uber driver crashed? Did I read that right?

Sure I can answer that for you.

A regular guy, and you don’t have to.

I did watch the video. It’s why I asked. Anyone can say they are a consultant, and he doesn’t really mention much to back that claim. He doesn’t say anything novel either.

I’m not trying to be hypercritical, but if someone says that they are a credible source I want to know why.

Who is this guy and why should I care what he says?

Edit: Since no one could answer it. He’s an indie developer and made a few games. Silver Falls, Clasherball, and Animelee. He also says he’s a consultant, based on the video, but I couldn’t find anything of him doing that.

So he’s slightly a step above a regular guy making some video complaining.
