The trick is to live in Louisiana and work for a company in a HCOL city


Ding ding ding! I live in the second cheapest state in the country and have always worked for Bay Area tech companies or NYC financial companies. It’s like a cheat code for life.

Maybe we’re softer, as comparatively we don’t live in hard times - most of us are generally safe, comfortable, and well fed. But it’s hard to not look around and see conflict and strife. Whether you’re on the side that blames Donald Trump and white people for all your hardships, or the other side that blames immigration, Jews, transgender people, and fentanyl, there’s so much division nowadays (much of it manufactured, of course). It’s impossible to imagine that we could experience the united patriotism today that we all felt just 25 short years ago on September 12th, 2001.

There’s no one single answer, but overall people seem less “alive” today than in prior years. It’s sad and unlikely fixable. A symptom of our continued decline as an empire.
No thanks, give me the cultural enrichment of Madison Prep over this any day! Said nobody ever.
When you say “stock” do you mean actual shares (or like RSUs) or options?

You mentioned “large corporation” so I assume it’s the former. If it’s the latter then he should seek clarity on whether those options are being converted into the new company/acquirer’s options and decide whether he’s bullish on the company’s outlook. Depending on his vesting schedule and whether he thinks there will be an eventual exit/IPO, he may not have much to lose.

Unless he’s got an offer in hand that he doesn’t want to pass up, my gut here is to just hang out, do the bare minimum (while still being helpful), then hope they package him out and he can take the summer off haha
Bit of a rollercoaster.

Here I was thinking some troll of a kindergarten teacher was diddling kids at recess. Turns out it’s some moderately attractive lesbo who got caught slapping clams with a 17 year old.

Watch out, some folks in here are angry about people supporting their local (only) professional sports franchise and being more/less invested depending on how well the team is doing. Apparently that’s a rather uncommon occurrence.

Im confused as to why they activated "fatigue" in this resturant.


Of course you’re confused. You’re likely a civilized, productive member of society and attempting to apply logic to an illogical group of people who operate solely on primal instinct with minimal ability to engage in higher level thinking.

You see a mistake on the bill, or you see that your food is not prepared to your liking. You sit quietly, wait your turn, raise your hand to call the waiter’s attention when he is done attending to other guests, then have a quick polite discussion which you likely start with, “excuse me sir, I’m terribly sorry to bother you, but…”

These “people” in the same scenario? Ooga booga! Me mad! U bad! Me fight!

Seriously I don’t know why anyone wants to own a restaurant these days.


I’ll take it a step further and say I don’t know why anyone even goes out in public anymore. That sounds a bit extreme, but it really does seem like almost everything we used to enjoy has been overrun and dominated by loud, violent trash who are incompatible with a civilized society.

Yeah I’d love to take my family on a cruise, to a live sporting event, to the outlet mall, to a nice restaurant - but is risking their safety worth it? Not to me.

We don’t even understand why race has become such a major focus in this situation.


Yep, just intellectually dishonest. They think we’re all stupid and don’t all know that 13% of the people commit 50% of the crime in this country.

By contrast, there was a large country music festival about an hour north of there in Stillwater on the same weekend. Mostly white folks with some Messicans sprinkled in. Plenty of drinking, guns, good natured debauchery. Nobody was shot or killed. No violence. You’d never even know the concert happened.
Ah, yet another response to “changing consumer behavior” as a result of the influx of former Spirit passengers.
Additional context for you baws - Edmond is basically Oklahoma’s version of Mandeville, but even whiter.
I’m white and gainfully employed, so I have no clue what this thread is about.

I wore a “company approved” neck/face gaiter as my mask in the office for ~2 years. Last week I was using it while cutting the grass and I got damn near every dirt and dust particle in my mouth.

Whole thing was a fricking farce. The world collectively lost its mind in early to mid March and Rudy Gobert’s dumb arse touching all the microphones at a press conference kicked it all off.
