"Killer Mike" gave an interview about Boston and was spooked about how segregated it was.

Like, in Atlanta there was a "Black Beverly Hills", but in Boston there was nothing like that.

It's good that, in the modern US, we at least get to choose the city we live in.

Did anyone mention Seattle? $10/mile for a Lyft ride and the county charges hundreds of dollars in registration fees to discourage you from owning a car. Or the exaggerated cost of living via rent, groceries, etc. that makes you feel poor if you’re not an SDE or married to a high earner. Couple that with our inability to prosecute crimes, and repeatedly throwing criminals with laundry lists back onto the streets, it’s impractical to walk without a weapon. Service workers automatically assume you’re a wealthy tech person and despise you, giving you terrible service for tasks like moving, restaurant service, sales, etc.

Even in broad daylight I was stalked by a junkie a few weeks ago who wanted to kidnap my goldendoodle for a cool grand to trade for drugs 🤷🏻‍♀️ why pay so much to be surrounded by filth, high fees, and lawlessness?

My friends daughter has two internship offers at RSM and Grant Thornton. Does anybody know if all well performing interns receive an offer at these firms or if they only provide job offers to a certain percentage? Thanks in advance!

Do you continue to see in-flight interview processes through once you’ve received and accepted an offer? It feels premature to cut the chord on the others, but also the decision between the companies becomes harder. Also afraid of the possibility to go back on the acceptance of the one role in favor of another.

I know this isn’t a marriage therapy bowl, but my husband has a really terrible tendency of saying things like “you’re being really mean” and completely shutting down during a disagreement when i objectively am not being mean, just truthful or vocal about how i feel about something. It’s a really convenient argument for him because it enables him to either be the victim and me the villian, or forces me to concede my stance and not reach a true resolution. Any tips on dealing with the irrational?

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)

So I’m only contributing to 401k enough to get employer match, and I’m saving an additional ~20% and putting 90% of that into my vanguard mutual funds. Reasoning is that I don’t want to lock away all that money maxing out 401k. Have 3 months expenses liquid in a savings account. Is this really dumb? Essentially trading tax for the option of actually using my money.
