That was what I thought five years ago. I was on the verge of removing it, and the android Facebook app killed my phone’s battery, so delete it went.

And suddenly all my family drama stopped and if someone needs to get in touch with me, how surprising that they still found a way.

Why don’t you want to vote for the felon rapist who has a history of racist comments and has taken money from corporations and foreign government over the Cop lady?

Doing minor “crime” in school was how I became a programmer!

Unhelpful because it happens so frequently?

Police can lie. And because OP has added to the potential crime scene, they are now a potential person to interrogate.

Do it anonymously.

That’s actually a good barometer.

If it’s a thing where it’s potentially violent, like a guy with a bat smashing up parked cars, call the police.

A crazy man talking about how the Lizard men have taken his stereo, I’m calling the non-emergency number or ask 911 to send behavioral specialists.

Still waiting on approval for more resources. It’s not a priority in the company.

I swear we have like 4 runners on a raspberry pi.

I’m more furious they left a shit review.

These reviews fuck with business, especially without context. Map apps while driving only show you the value.

Envious. It averages 15-30 mins

This is a very rude question, but on this subject of being lean, I looked up your 990, and you pay yourself less than … well, you pay yourself half or a third as much as some of your engineers.

Yes, and our goal is to pay people as close to Silicon Valley’s salaries as possible, so we can recruit very senior people, knowing that we don’t have equity to offer them. We pay engineers very well. [Leans in performatively toward the phone recording the interview.] If anyone’s looking for a job, we pay very, very well.

But you pay yourself pretty modestly in the scheme of things.

I make a very good salary that I’m very happy with.

That’s pretty cool. But knowing the number would matter.

As a supporter of getting professional help like therapy, I get kinda frustrated at the whole process.

My company has two options: a in-company therapist and TalkSpace.

The in-company therapist is a nice lady but I don’t like that her boss is HR, where I have the most problems with. She’s also technically challenged and uses the company storage to save reports. You know who else has access to the company storage? IT. And I chill with those guys and absolutely know what they can see.

I had two really good therapists who quit TalkSpace in a year. But then, five people who were more like guidance counselors. They didn’t have any credentials in their profile outside of basic social work, and didn’t give me anything better than (ugh) an AI therapist.

Honestly I have to pay out of pocket for therapy now.

My buddy pays $100 for a cell phone service, and gets a new $1000 phone every two years. When I told him he pays $4400 every two years, his jaw dropped.

He first talked about how important it was for him to have wireless while hiking. He hiked ONCE in the past year. And if it’s super important, he can rent a device during that trip.

It’s ridiculous. I buy used $300 phones and pay $10-20 a month.

Imo, the mindset of “X is cheap!” what leads people to end up overspending.

Having worked with marketers, they use the whole “price of a cup of coffee” to convince people to buy services that they don’t need all the time.

I don’t have or need Spotify. Same with a lot of steaming services. I own Netflix stock but I don’t even own a Netflix account. I could afford it but why?

If the replacement for X is Y, sure! Buy the alternative. But honestly I think people should reevaluate what they really need.

17 years ago, jeez. My credit Union’s website is like that. Only its between 8-12 characters. No more, no less.

It’s terrifying.

That reminds me, I got a very threatening email from my college in 2000s about downloading movies and that they traced the IP to my laptop, and I could be paying $10k in fines, have this on my permanent record and/or expelled.

I loled and pirated a lot more safer.

Still waiting for them to follow up with that 20 years later.

I won’t stop until we allow slutty costumes for all body types.

I was disappointed that I spent time crafting my sausage but at no point in the game was I allowed to waggle it around to show dominance.
