I've spent all weekend moving into my new place and having to buy a sectional and putting everything together has been exhausting but I've been at least able to watch the games.

I have had to go from never looking at the weather forecast to checking it each morning after moving somewhere that actually has weather and not just hot and not as hot. Especially dealing with snow has been the biggest change

Thanks to everyone talking about the Patreon as I went ahead and signed up for it. I've been going to this site forever it seems and would hate for it to not be around.

swickles posted:Do I need to know anything about Pokemon to enjoy Detective Pikachu? My pokemon knowledge is entirely superficial, but I don't want to go and be lost. To be honest they explain the ones that you need to know and the others are more there for fans to go oh look it's that Pokemon. Go have a good time and relax as you need some time to turn the brain off.

He has been around long enough to know that the only way to properly kill someone is in the head and didn't shoot once there especially as close range as it was. I assume it was done as Winston knows the only true way to win is for John to tear the entire establishment down but will need his help to do it

Is it weird how foreign the thought of making 6 figures sounds? Maybe it is just me from where I came from, I am on a track to try and get to that point but it's just wild to sit and think about in that regard.

Amy Pole Her posted:Don’t let Instagram fool you it’s still a lot of work to get there, consistently. There are some jobs like sales you can kill a few years but the consistent 6 figure is still something to strive for within reach and expect to take a fair amount of effort ya know. Well I don't look at Instagram but I know what you mean. I put in a lot of time and effort at my previous job and went from $9 an hour to making 50k a year and then moved on to a different company in the same industry for a good raise and a new title. But being from a small town in Northeast Louisiana it has been a lot to get to that point and not working construction or any oil based job.

I actually moved almost 1000 miles for a step up and possible huge money potential down the road so working hard has been what I've had to do since I started 8 years ago in this industry.

Blitz7x posted:Why wouldn't you Nothing against it, I just like helping people and dealing with people (most of the time). So I've always gravitated towards customer service oriented jobs but also sometimes jobs that paid better than minimum wage while trying to figure out how being an adult works. It's why I can say I was a zookeeper then a cable technician once upon a time.

When I moved to Louisville, I decided to check out the Triple A team and even though I'm not a huge fan of baseball, it has been the perfect way to unwind from the stress of work. I actually bought season tickets and it's been great.

Just got out of Godzilla, if giant monsters beating the hell out of each other is your thing, then you won't be disappointed. I didn't enjoy it as much as the first as I felt the first one was much higher quality in terms of set pieces and the way it was shot.

Leperflesh posted:In my last performance review I basically set an ultimatum, I needed a significant raise this year or I was gonna bail. After almost 15 years at this company, my salary is lagging well behind similarly-experienced people who jump jobs every 5 years because that's the opportunity you generally get to bump up salary. Very nice! Congrats on that big pay bump

Spo and anyone else that has any advice: My dad had an 18 wheeler go into his lane and hit my car last Friday. Thankfully the car isn't too banged up and he only has a muscle strain outside of the psychological damage it has done to him. The 18 wheeler didn't stop and my dad was able to call 911 and give them the trailer license and then they had him pull over and wait for a sheriff to talk to him. We were given the accident report number and waiting for it to be posted on their website so we can view it. I've already called a lawyer and one of the things they asked was if the sheriff's found and pulled the truck over which we have no clue about, they also asked if I had insurance that covered uninsured motorist or underinsured which I do and was like oh well we could go after yours on your dad's behalf. That seemed really shady to me but this firm is highly rated and had great reviews. I guess my question is, should I call my insurance to go ahead and start getting the car fixed or wait until the police report is viewable and see how a lawyer wants to handle it?

Spoeank posted:Your father's insurance will decline coverage as you have collision coverage and the flowchart of "whose coverage do we use" goes car, then driver. Thank you for the help, I guess I'll also add that yes he's a little banged up but isn't anything too major more than mentally he doesn't want to drive and I wasn't sure with the hit and run nature of it if a lawyer was needed

deedee megadoodoo posted:I keep thinking about getting a portable game console for my commute. Anyone have any thoughts on the current generation? I haven’t owned one since the original gameboy. Do you also want the ability to play on a big screen if you want? If so the Switch will be the way to go. They get a lot of indie games that are on PC and other consoles plus all of the Nintendo titles which are only available for it. You could also go with 3DS if you wanted to have a larger library available to you and cheaper than the Switch. From there the other choices are either a phone/tablet that you put ROMs and emulators on which is a whole different discussion or the Vita but it is dead and depending on how you feel about niche Japanese games then I would stay away from it.

Has anyone ever professionally taken a step back before and any suggestions on how to mentally handle it? Unfortunately things are not working out at the job I have and have the opportunity to cut back on my work time and responsibilities which will give me a lot more time to spend with my son. I am taking a pay cut but it's still plenty to live the way I have on the pay I have been receiving. My biggest concern is going from a position of management to punching a clock and it not driving me insane as obviously I am used to having a lot more on my plate

Ehud, I had a similar upbringing, not as crazy as yours but a lot of the things you talk about I recognize and understand. The biggest thing is what you talked about which was growing as a person. I look back at how I was in high school and even 6 years ago and it amazes me how I thought back then. So you aren't alone and you are one of my favorites to keep up with.

Getting ready to fly back home, I have orientation for my new job this week but also have 2 grandparents that are at the end of their lives so should be a crazy week. Thankfully I know the job and it's more of learning how this company uses their Help desk software so I'm not worried about it. But waking up at 3 am is for the birds.
