Had my annual AC check up. The freon level was very low so theres a leak. So its under warranty, right. Yeah, but the warranty covers the part only. Not labor and not replacement freon (which is fucking $100 a pound).

I dont know if this is how all central air warranties are, but American Standard sucks.

Every adult should be able to have their own house. Maybe not necessarily a big house, but a roof over their head and a little lawn to mow should be affordable for everyone, and the fact it isn't where I live is why I'm planning to move somewhere with much cheaper property. I work in a factory full-time and I don't even make enough to afford a bachelor apartment and a car, and my company is likely doing layoffs in the near future. I'm gonna start with something like a shipping container home with solar panels on it and work my way up from there.


The big problem is small houses arent getting built. Home builders buy up big tracts of land, break them up into tiny lots and build McMansions on them.

Tangentially related moral question: which of the following two scenarios is morally worse to you, or are they equally bad?

1. A 22-year-old high school teacher has a consensual sexual relationship with his 18-year-old student in a state where the age of consent is 18.
2. A 35-year-old college professor has a consensual sexual relationship with his 22-year-old student.

Both are bad. Neither is consensual when there is a power mismatch.

What's a good way to get promoted at a job?

Learn all you can and then get a job elsewhere. Seriously staying at one company doesnt end up giving you big promotions and/or salary increases. Make sure you make lots of connections, you never know when one could help you get a job elsewhere.

My husband is leaving a job because he got one a couple levels higher and a lot of money elsewhere.

His current boss asked him what they could do to get him to stay and he was like, nah, Im good.
