It's actually not Newsom debating DeSantis. It's Newsom debating DeSantis AND Hannity.

What's Hannity doing?

The whole point of suburbs was that you didn't have to live downtown, when you can just drive there to the office and back.

Make that option non-viable, and everyone with a downtown office job will start taking all the downtown apartments.

Do you not know how gentrified downtown already is? How unaffordable it already is? Those same people who will be living downtown will likely already be able to afford that already overpriced housing anyway.

You can't gentrify a place that's already gentrified.

Which government jobs? Do they pay decently?

Because I know the ones in SF pay horribly


For state and local jobs, it depends on where you live. I'm fortunate enough that IL state employees are the best compensated in the country, but I understand not everyone has it so lucky. Also, at entry level the jobs will not typically pay well. But after accruing time in the union, your pay will go up. You just gotta put in the time to get the good salary. You're not going to get a good salary at the get-go, but at least you coukd get good healthcare benefits.

Overall though, the feds will always pay the best. Look there, especially if you have a degree.

I think that transportation agencies also pay well (here they do, at least) so I'd also give those a shot.

I work for the government.

Government positions across the entire county are desperate for people right now. Just apply and you can get in, if you can wait the wait.

That's good to know, I may not need it in 5/10 years.

Do contribution limits double if married, or is it all based on individual earnings

This much I feel qualified to answer.

The "I" in IRA stands for "individual".

"No cars downtown!" is going to spark off the biggest gentrification trend ever.

I live in Chicago and hope that we have the same thing one day. The fewer cars on the road--especially in the confines of the Loop--the better.

Good on you, NYC

Why the fuck did they give her a sterotypically "East Asian" accent in the original MGS? It never made sense to me, even as a kid.

It's a very broad umbrella term now. My friend's ex-wife considers herself to be a sex worker because she's a "sexual wellness expert" at pure romance (i.e., she's a hunbot with an MLM)

I dont know the limit. $150k comes to mind, but I could have made that up. You can look it up.

And no, nothing will automatically convert. You are responsible for contributing correctly based on your previous years income. You can incur penalties if you over-contribute.

Does converting from a Roth to a traditional IRA cost anything? Does it have a penalty of some kind?

How do you get past this? That notion that if you open up to others about your stressors or whatnot or complain about how there was never any assistance for you that you need to get over it/accept your own responsibility for doing better because everyone else doesn't give a damn at the end.

To me this sucks and frankly it makes me not want to interact with other people.

You have to talk to people who care about you, people you can trust. Randos likely won't care much, if at all, unless they can directly sympathize.

Talking to a shrink also helps.

What is the income limit on a Roth? What happens if I meet the income limit on a Roth due to a raise? Does my Roth automatically get converted to a traditional IRA?

Obligatiry don't out yourself if you don't want to.

It recently occurred to me that there are a fair amount of queer folk here. From all the topics I've seen since coming to CE there seem to be more than a few of you here who are. I'm just wondering who here is actually queer and feels comfortable stating so.

I am a cis male who considers himself to be gyne/finsexual.

Literally have not done so in 10+ years. Been unable to. At least I have a pension to look forward to. But starting in 2024 I have a savings plan in place where I'm going to be able to contribute about 1k/year for 3 or 4 years, and then I'll be able to contribute about 6k/year after that.

Gotta get that downpayment + reserves first.

Well, originally she (an ex of mine) wanted me to pierce her nipples. As soon as I started, we both noted out pretty hard.

I offered to clean it up and she happily accepted. It just kept escalating from there

And that's how you both discovered your blood kink.

I let him cover things here and there, because I know how it feels to be denied when you want to cover something

but this is big. this is casually throwing down $1000+ for a quick weekend visit, and that's just flights and room. its a staggering amount, it makes me feel weird

Sounds like you're the type who finds it hard to ask others for help. And doesn't like being spent on.

It's okay. Might be his way of expressing he loves you. It's his money. Let him spend it on you as he pleases!

There was this hot Jewish chick from the extremely rich northern burbs that I met on CL, back when personal adds there were still a thing. She had her mansion to herself for a week while her parents were gone and we spent most of said week there just fucking all around the house. She was kinky as FUCK, and all her kinks (that she let me know about) we shared. It was the hottest sex I've ever had, period.

She wasn't exactly mentally stable though, as I sussed out over said week. I ghosted her after and was very glad that she didn't try to track me down or something. I stuck my dick in crazy and got away with it, somehow.

Vagrant Story, it's usually recommended to play it with a guide if necessary because some enemy weaknesses and item locations can be tricky and some bosses you'll do little to no damage to unless you're prepared. Despite that it's heralded as one of the best PS1 games visually and gameplay wise.

I...hesitate to call it a JRPG. Really, to this day I dunno what to classify it as. Vagrant Story is kind of its own thing.

He's not.

In fact, he'll come back stronger than ever.

Correct me if I'm wrong though, but what Thaedus did to him is NOT in the comics. So it's possible that Allen could be dead. Wouldn't make much sesne though, considering just how important a character he is to the overall storyline.

But he could theoretically replace members of the board, so Democrats control it and could remove DeJoy right?

That happened though. But the board did not remove him.

Teleportation would be awesome, but I've always been concerned about what would happen if there was already something at the spot you teleported to.

My guess is that you would just kinda die/get mangled. Like, if there was a rock in the exact spot you wanted to teleport to, that rock would now be inside your foot when you appeared. Whoopsies.

Time travel isn't as cracked up as it's made out to be, unless you could guarantee that your time travel would keep you on the same timeline.

So teleportation is the clear winner here.
