I gotta say that is one depressing looking house. It looks like a garage with a house attached to it rather than the other way round. And itā€™s just so grey and featureless.

All the new houses going up around me look like that. Except for the ones that take up almost the entire lot so they can cram a 4,000sq ft house on a quarter acre.

Everything today is starting to suck because they're all min/maxing. Cars are all egg shaped SUVs or boxy trucks. Movies are all reboots, sequels, prequels, or live-action remakes. TV shows are epic fantasies or raunchy animated comedies or dark supernatural dramas. Because that's what all the metrics say will provide the best ROI.

I wish this Gilded Age were half as original as the last one.

PrincessLeiasCat ,

Thank you for also noticing the shitty shape of cars. I guess thereā€™s a demand there, but I hate it too. I constantly bring this up, so Iā€™m happy someone else agrees lol

I think the main problem is that anyone with enough money to buy a new car is so old they can't get in and out of something sporty.

PrincessLeiasCat ,

That or kids/car seats.

Iā€™m not that old yet, and no kids, so give me my tiny sporty coupes that are easier to park.

cmbabul ,

I figure itā€™s a combination of three things; the level of aerodynamic engineering the industry has achieved, lowest common denominator design to appeal to the largest possible group, and a demand for storage space.

lars ,

All. The. Cars. Look. The. Same. It. Is. Like. The. 1940s. Right. Now.

Iā€™d love to see some sarcastic/ironic eye candy on this figurative and literal highway to hell.

jungle ,

I completely agree with you, and I also noticed cars gradually losing personality around the turn of the century, but the most egg shaped car of all happens to be the one I love the most: the VW bug. I had one ~20 years ago, yellow even, and I still miss it.

paysrenttobirds ,

This actually looks kind of quaint to me. Now the house would be on top of the garage and there would be six of them and the trees would be gone. Iā€™d feel like a prince of the world if I had a 3% mortgage on this.

I also dislike this look.

My garage is back behind my house on the alley as it should be. What lunatic ever thought moving the carriage house to the front was a good idea?

Also...this is a plastic box. Why do people want to live in plastic boxes?

it's got that mcmansion roofline without the size. it's just a sucky house in a shitty suburban hell. I bet the owner can't even legally use all the land they bought to make a vegetable garden

QuinceDaPence ,

It looks like a garage with a house attached to it rather than the other way round.

My dream house is 80% garage/workshop.

But yeah, this one looks strange. I think because the garage juts out forward.

Delphia ,

I think its because theres no side fences or landscaping. Its a house in a field.

    It does, but I think theres nothing ā€œwrongā€ with the house, the garage just looks so prominent because theres literally nothing else going on.

    The whole scene looks unfinished.

    Delphia ,

    Do not underestimate how nice your house can be inside when you have adequate storage space for things you dont want on display. Does need some landscaping though.

    just needs like a doghouse or two on the upstairs to the front and it would look wayyyyu better

    iFixit does this kind of content better and shows you how to get your mouse to work again.

    @MyFairJulia@lemmy.world avatar

    She looks like sheā€™s from the generation that did a lot of those things early in childhood but then discovered the power of the Nintendo Entertainment System.

    Also letā€™s be honest: If her kids skipped school to be with their lovers, she wouldnā€™t support this at all. She probably wouldnā€™t even support kids skipping school to be politically active.

    Plenty of people try to use popular hashtags to promote their unrelated content, but I'm almost impressed that they actually tried to make a segue from "oatmilk" to "my hustle grindset blog."

    Peaty , in Why did she have to drag oat milk into this šŸ˜­

    ā€œHeā€ is named Stephanie and as they are ā€œtrying to secure the money for women in techā€ Im guessing they donā€™t use ā€œheā€.

    What even is he suggesting? I don't apply for jobs online? How and where does he think you are suppose to get jobs then. Strap on my job helmet and squeeze down into a job cannon and fire off into Jobland where jobs grow on jobbies

    Bardylis ,

    He wants you to pay for his coaching. Just imply theres a better way and leave the coaching link.

    Saledovil ,

    Iā€™d like to add: Take note how the dot before the com is in brackets. This is likely to confuse spam filters.

    smashboy ,

    Am I missing something? Three different people in this thread are calling this person called Stephanie a he?

    dumples ,
    @dumples@kbin.social avatar

    I didn't read closely enough to see that the person was named Stephanie. Opps

    Bardylis ,

    I guess I didnā€™t look at the posters name in the picture and the person I was responding to said he

    xantoxis , in Why did she have to drag oat milk into this šŸ˜­

    This is almost incoherent. I think this ā€œgrindsetā€ group of people is actually just individuals with undiagnosed cerebral clotting. How many of them die within 48 hours of posting? I think itā€™s worth investigating.

    Maybe this isnā€™t that much of a lunatic but Iā€™m white knighting non-dairy milk, okay?

    alnilam ,

    Non dairy milk is great. But heā€™s right when oat milk costs 5x or 10x the price of regular milk while having mostly cheap ingredients is a scam.

    tycho ,

    I agree, oat milk should not be this expensive itā€™s mainly water! Milk is also both heavily subsidized by the state so the price drops and the producer donā€™t make a lot of margins on it.

    crmsnbleyd OP ,
    @crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz avatar

    Thatā€™s so true, making it yourself if you can is the best

    adriaan ,

    How much do you pay for oat milk? Itā€™s like ā‚¬1.40/L here which is only like 50% more than dairy milk.

    Kalkaline , in How about no

    Orā€¦ find a job that values your time appropriately so you can just chill a day or two a week.

    pomodoro_longbreak , in How about no
    @pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works avatar

    This is dumb. But just to talk corpo for a bit (because that is the reality for many of us): early in your career, putting in extra study time (or just making time on the clock if possible) will give you a leg up for certain kinds of white collar work. Just because youā€™ll know more.

    But doing work on weekends will set you apart as a damned sucker who can be used by others to make career moves. So do that if you want to feel someoneā€™s pump in your eye socket as they trample you to reach for their dream job.

    Youā€™re never going to get promoted to an easier job if youā€™ve proven you can build like 2x more widgets than your co-workers.

    Youā€™ll get to a better job by showing up with your co-workers to the bossā€™ house and asking nicely.

    samson ,

    Iā€™m lucky enough with my position that we have pretty well defined pay bands that mention our levels of knowledge, easily identifiable systems and managers that are basically expected to pay us to those bands when our knowledge increases. The one thing we donā€™t have is enough time to effectively skill people up past a certain point. If you can spare the time, you basically will get promoted. We also have a lovely flex time system - work whenever between 7-6:30 as long as you hit 36 hours a week over 3 months, never heard of any pressure to come in early or anything like that with it either.

    pomodoro_longbreak ,
    @pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works avatar

    I love transparent / open books, and I bring it up at every company I join, but unfortunately I donā€™t know of any local employers that do this, outside of big institutions or tiny cooperatives. But I guess I can just keep looking on the remote job market.

    Your job sounds very human! Iā€™m happy with my set up as well. We donā€™t have a Clock so to speak, so as long as youā€™re available, make meetings on time, and get your tasks done, no one cares how you do it.

    WorldWideLem , in How about no

    ā€œIf you work for part of the day you still get the day offā€ is certainly anā€¦interesting perspective.

    phoenixz , in How about no

    It you just stop sleeping, youā€™ll be able to add 8 working hours per day! You can start at 11pm, stop at 7am and still have the entire day to work more at youā€™re job. Itā€™ll add 40 working hours per week, 2080 hours or 260 working days for your boss!

    It WILL set you apart

    deaf_fish , in How about no

    It wonā€™t set you apart because, Jeffrey who does half the work of everyone else, is really good at selling himself and kissing ass. Your boss is just as overworked as everyone else is. And itā€™s basically running on vibes at this point in time. So Jeffrey is going to get that next promotion.

    Have fun working on the weekends and in a couple of months, working under Jeffrey!
