Any advice for family trip w 3 passionate Trump supporters, 3 passionate not (me included)? I want harmony and know we are not collectively changing opinions. What are some kind, neutral responses to anyone starting in on it?

“I think we can all acknowledge our unique povs, and that we love each other for much more than our political beliefs.

It probably wouldn’t be productive or pleasant to have this conversation right now, but perhaps after this trip if you’d like to discuss further, we can talk about it one on one or over email, where we can send each other articles and information that support our beliefs in a less emotionally-charged context.”

Why not just shrug your shoulders when someone says something political and say “I don’t know.” and then change the subject?

Hi fishes,

Had an interview with Hexaware and 3 days back HR1 called me and said she will send the offer letter next week. 2 days back HR2 called me and said a client interview is scheduled for you and I attended that. Now if I fail to clear the client interview round, will I not receive the offer letter that is promised by the HR1?

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??

When companies pander to social issues (gay pride flag logos, blackout posts as of today) do people actually respond positively to that? I’m not a target group of these posts, but don’t people look at Popeyes and Sony making these posts and think “oh this is a blatant free marketing and PR stunt”.

I’m genuinely curious to know if anyone actually responds to these types of posts.
