Superannuation is such a cooler name than pension

glimse ,

I'm happy to see someone express that opinion. I have so much in common with this guy's stance on things (and even a lot of the bitterness) but I just can't stand watching him. I really, really don't like the "I'm hungover and angry" schtick and it makes it hard to watch.

glimse ,

I don't mind a good takedown video but I'm not big on alcoholism as the punchline. "I drink because I'm so angry about this" just doesn't resonate with me

But in his defense, his fans LOVE that presentation style and he's catering to them.

I also had no idea he was in the Behind The Bastards crew! I wanted to check it out but I only drive for like 20 minutes twice a week (and that was my podcast time)

glimse ,

That last suggestion seems very up my alley, thanks!

One of my biggest social media pet peeves. A screenshot of a headline is a useless post. They either took the screenshot and chose to not include the link or - more likely - they copied it from some Instagram page

glimse ,

It's one step above "memes" that are just text. I include Lisa Simpson/Spiderman on stage and similar templates in that category of garbage posts

glimse ,

Not the point...and the guy I was replying to posted the link already. My issue is that posting a screenshot without the article means you have to then look it up

I like how the Google Summer Of Code started with firing all their python devs lol

glimse ,

I've taken a pay cut two years in a row for that reason. Last year was somewhat understandable with the insane inflation but this year kind of stung

glimse ,

I've got my feelers out there but I'm gonna stick it out here for another year - currently working on a certification to switch to a higher-paid position and the company is paying for it

glimse ,

I mean it's understandable that they didn't give everyone 6.5% raises. That's a pretty huge raise

Door hinge pin keeps coming up. How to solve?

Looking for help in solving a problem where the lower door hinge pin on my entry door keeps creeping up and causing the deadbolt to become slightly misaligned making it more difficult to lock. Reading online, I keep coming across suggestions of tightening a screw that’s supposed to lock the pin in place but my hinges don’t...

glimse ,

Just to make sure I'm on the same page...the pin that connects the two hinge plates is coming out on its own?

You can try taking the pin out and lightly hammering the middle knuckle so it's pinches the pin more. Alternatively, hammer a slight bend in the pin.

They also make pins that go through the hinges and screw on

'Boys are disappearing' from mental health care, as signs of depression and anxiety go undetected ( www.nbcnews.com )

Research found while antidepressant prescriptions have risen dramatically in the US for teenage girls and women in their 20s, the rate of such prescriptions for young men “declined abruptly during March 2020 and did not recover.”

I agree with the first paragraph as my own experience with a much-needed year of therapy left me in debt

I disagree with the second sentence entirely. Even my very conservative father supported me going. There’s tons of terrible men in this country but we need to stop perpetuating the myth that every man in the US has a fratboy mentality.

glimse ,

That’s what they say it’s for. I’m sure its cameras and sensors won’t be turned off between alarm checks

glimse ,

Each has their strengths so why not both?

glimse ,

I’ve been on redfin every day for the past year and there are no houses within an hour radius of me that are under 250k except dilapidated knockdowns. Then everything 250-350k needs 50-100k in work. It sucks ass.

glimse ,

Do you sing HAIM - Honey & I to them? Because I would

My my my honey and IIIIIII

glimse ,

You’re pinning the “lunatic” flag on someone spreading a good message. Why?

glimse ,

I thought all 3 things were related with that title lol

glimse ,

The reasoning you described can be summed up very simply: UAW doesn’t want to strike, they want changes. And they hope the threat alone is enough to get them.

glimse ,

That is correct and I hope the mods stick to keeping this place exclusively for real posts. “Close enough” makes places homogenous

glimse ,

Expressing hope is not complaining. Did my comment hurt you or something?

glimse ,

Ok have fun dumbing down every community you post to while thinking that everyone is your enemy I guess. See ya later, dork

What the hell is this shit? Instead of pushing for the return to traditional pensions, capitalism is celebrating the idea that Millennials and Gen Z may simply never be able to stop working. ( www.cnbc.com )

Traditionally, retiring entails leaving the workforce permanently. However, experts found that the very definition of retirement is also changing between generations....

glimse ,

There was a post earlier from wsj about how it makes more sense to rent because mortgage rates are high right now. Because, you know, refinancing doesn’t exist and landlords never arbitrarily raise rent

Report: 75% of remote employees have asked their employers to let them work at the office again

The internet’s favorite couple is who now?

Well now that I know his name…The internet’s favorite couple is who??
