Isn't that a given? One is much less likely to be promoted

We don't allow people to be managers WFH. You can be promoted through the IC route though. Honestly

One thing I will never understand or accept: Reaction videos. How is there demand for watching randos watch something

They are the worst.

Oh another thing- I was just searching YouTube for a song, and a bunch of the results were dumb reaction videos of

It's a sign of the devolution of society.

IdahoCoug

9:47am

Especially a reaction to a trailer...

The Dark Knight

9:49am

Two reasons: 1) it plays into the algorithm. It sees it as a video that is a high probability "of interest" to a topic

Bert609

9:51am

But on the flip side, "Reactions done right" is awesome. I wouldn't know about Rick Beato if he didn't break down

That would be impressive to do against the defending champions.

TCuz

Somehow the NFL draft is now more important than any Olympic sport event.

That certainly is a take

Grocery shopping is not much cheaper

It's more than it used to be but still significantly cheaper than eating out

Yup. We spent $16.5k on dining last year and $13.3k on groceries.

justAnotherCoug

Just as curiosity if you don’t mind sharing, about how many meals do you eat

chilawcoug

9:49am

Last year we probably ate out, on average, 2-3 times a week

justAnotherCoug

9:54am

Thanks. Sorry on the snacks point. I didn’t mean divvying up grocery bill.

chilawcoug

9:57am

Anything we ate out including going for ice cream, or movie popcorn is in dining

One could argue as well the the eat out is likely less healthy than a home...

FrankenCoug

This is the last year of the challenge. They didn't renew going forward
