3 months agoI just had to purchase a vehicle. My insurance company basically asked me not to buy a KIA or Hyundai and warned that the premiums for those makes were super high.

14·3 months agoI don’t care if you don’t think it’s right for gay people to get married, but the moment you try to take my friends’ or family’s rights away, then we’re going to have conflict. Do you see the difference?
Disgraceful life? What on earth are you referring to?
I was about to make the same comment. It looks like my terminal.
That post is fascinating. Thanks!

Try pooling your resources with others. I know my experience was from a long time ago but this is how I see people making it work now as well.
I had roommates for several years after school. It should have been even longer but I had to get married early like a dumbass. If you can at all, use that time to save what you can.
While you’re doing that, get experience and connections at work. People will come and go and it’ll be helpful to have people you can reach out to that know you enjoy your work and see that you’re good at it.
Most companies don’t provide good growth opportunities from within so every couple years, look at making a move. My biggest pay jumps have occurred this way.
Don’t be afraid to apply for positions that you might feel are just out of reach. Having connections that can vouch for you and help you with your resume are very valuable for these.
Along the way, don’t pass up your employer’s retirement matching, and save as much as you can. Since you don’t have a degree, look for certifications in your industry or take advantage of any help your employer can provide with tuition for college. Don’t be afraid to do it slowly if you have to.
I know I had a lot of help getting opportunities but it was always on me to make the most of them. Good luck, I hope you make it where want to be.
28·5 months agoThe issue here, I’m sorry to say, is that your parents dropped the ball. They were the ones responsible for your health and the safety of your environment.

2·5 months agoSorry about that. I guess I completely missed your point that you were referring to data sharing only via the new “agreement” getting foisted on people. Fingers crossed it doesn’t get into Merlin.
Here are some screenshots from my router administration pages. Notice the “Powered by Asuswrt-Merlin”.
In the first image you can see that I have a particular feature disabled.
When I toggle it on I receive a warning that my information will be collected by Trend Micro.
I included another screenshot showing the location where I would withdraw my consent to having my data collected, were I to actually use the advanced features of the router, that I thought I was paying for at the point of sale. Instead I was apparently paying for the privilege of having the option dangled in front of me, behind an agreement for yet another, separate company to collect my family’s data.

The data sharing happens on merlin too
The data sharing persists even with merlin. I get a prompt about it as soon as I tried to enable those advanced features. I still get updates though.
Green Day wrote an album about you
2·6 months agoThat’s a good point, I actually have not. I came to that conclusion based on the reviews I’ve read.
Are you suggesting a political affiliation test for contractors? I don’t see how that could go wrong.
