That and “sus”.

I am a big fan of the whole LOTR series. I saw a trailer for The Hobbit and thought 'whats this trash!?". Never watched the movie. No regrets from all the things I’ve heard.

Awww

I don’t disagree at all. Renting can be more practical for many people for many reasons. The reverse is true for many others that want to buy a house, like me. It’s just the original comment “Don’t buy a house” isn’t necessarily a life lesson, more like ymmv.

Don’t go with the low bid.

College isn’t for everyone.

That sucks, I’m sorry that happened. But landscapers are not concrete people. I will say that any of either profession I’ve dealt with were aggressive about payment. I wouldn’t be surprised if the guy tried to give you a change order for additional money?

I’m curious why you say that, unless you mean in today’s market. Sure, it’s expensive and often something needs fixed. But it sure beats paying inflated rent to someone else to live surrounded by methheads, folks with kids that literally bounce off the walls all day, and/or older folks that go to bed at 6pm and complain if you make a peep after 6.

Personally, I like my house, as spendy as it is. I’d amend your statement to say “don’t buy a house you can’t afford, do your homework and research”.

I fired someone in a protected class maybe a year ago. They were, by their own admission incompetent. They were also falsifying their time card. All documented. I’ve done the same with a straight white guy. Is that my prejudice?

Look, I know it happens wrongfully. But don’t accuse me of shit that you have no basis for. It detracts from your whole argument.

Wow. I hope you feel better about yourself. Clearly you need it. I have no interest in continu ing this. You are wrong about me on almost every count but I’m not interested in justifying myself to you. Go back to reddit/Twitter, please.

You’re delusional. Your quote is not remotely what I said. That’s disingenuous, at best. Idgaf what the rest of the thread says. Many people can group together and be wrong; it’s fairly common. Again, I do not own a small business or any other form of business. You are utterly clueless in this conversation. You seem like a troll and will be treated as such.

There doesn’t have to be. I don’t see or treat it that way. Yes, my employer has power over me (I’m not a business owner). As do I over them, to an extent. But it doesn’t have to be an adversarial relationship.

You’re wrong. Employers do have the right to terminate members of a protected class as long as it’s not because they are a protected class.

What? My dad was in law enforcement, kinda. I work in facilities maintenance, not remotely inherited. But whatever you want to tell yourself.

Did you read the part where I was also fired from jobs and it was no big deal? Why wouldn’t I need to fight it? Not everything and everyone is evil bigot sexist racist corporate. Sometimes employees need to be terminated for reasons beyond what exists in your preprogrammed little mind. Protected class terminations is not what we’re discussing here. Take your soap box elsewhere. And have a nice day.

That’s not what “at-will employment” means. It’s an agreement between employer and employer that they agree to employment, and they both have the right to terminate for any or no reason. I have fired employees and been fired myself by employers based on this. Why use “false pretenses " when you don’t have to. “You’re fired.” 'Why?” “Because you are.” End of story.
