re: How someone affords a median lifestyle in Dallas Texas

re: Homeowners of the OT: Home warranties

I assume it’s just like any other insurance. Companies offer it because they will come out ahead in the long run. So just like any other insurance, if you can afford to self-insure, you should. If it’s going to cause you significant financial strain if your water heater goes out, maybe you want the ...

Move? I’m not saying $75,000 is a lot of money, but here is a house in a suburb of Houston zoned to some of the best public schools in the state for under $300k. If you married someone making the same amount, you could raise a family here. [link=(https://s.hartech.io/Ufp5WsmPP7o)]LINK[/link]...

[quote]as a high school teacher I would say this is not true[/quote]
See Table 1 (page 72). They party less pretty much across the board. Also, the 90s were lit. [link=(https://monitoringthefuture.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/mtfoverview2022.pdf)]Monitoring the Future [/link]...

[quote]Considerably less. If they are drinking alcohol then that means they’re actually socializing which does not exist anymore.[/quote]
This x 1,000. They drink less, use drugs less, and have sex less. Sounds good on paper until you realize the reason is that they aren’t going out anymore. They...

Posted by pelicanpride on 3/15/24 at 7:33 pm
Love this guy’s breakdowns. He doesn’t typically pick sides, and you usually see footage you otherwise missed. His in depth analysis of the spectators always cracks me up. [link=(https://youtu.be/_z5xvYPCj-8?si=cThKTLV_DLei1o9M)]LINK[/link]...
re: What industry “secret” do you know that most people don’t?

We need other servers/former servers to chime in. The not-so-nice places I worked weren’t exactly shite holes, they just weren’t expensive. This was Louisiana in the early 2000’s. I’d love to hear things have changed because I’m still grossed out from some of the stuff that I saw 20 years later....
re: Health related anxiety
Posted by pelicanpride on 3/9/24 at 11:33 pm
Do you ever notice that you feel anxious, but you don’t know why? Then your brain starts scanning for something to explain the anxiety. It will eventually attach to something, and that thing appears to become the source of your anxiety. But if you are really cognizant of what is going on, sometimes ...

In college, I worked a couple of years as a waitress. One place was a really nice restaurant. The others weren’t. In the back, it made no difference. NEVER BE RUDE TO THE PEOPLE HANDLING YOUR FOOD. I can’t believe the shite I saw. I was literally the only person who refused to defile the food of rude...

I actually liked many of Trump’s policies. The constant circus surrounding him was annoying, but some of that was the left overreacting to every damn thing.

If you and your wife were both carriers for cystic fibrosis, you could use IVF to test the embryos and select one without the disease. That can be done for many, many diseases. If this bothers you so much that you are considering using someone else’s sperm, you should at least find out the name of t...
