DiscoveringMe got a reaction from Luv2play in Overused and empty words
This!!! Countless articles about this phrase. I said it quite a bit early in my career and had a boss that corrected me every time. Now I cringe when people say it.

But for me, my least favorite word is "unacceptable." It's typically used by those who want to complain but have no solutions to offer. Usually they are left with no other choice but to accept the situation.

DiscoveringMe got a reaction from + Eric Hassan in Can yinz (your hubby, 2 kids and you) live with $500K per year in NYC?
Apparently they are not taking any deductions on their children, mortgage interest, property taxes, or charitable donations. They also must not have any investment income to be at an effective 40% tax rate (which, by the way would not be their tax bracket with the aforementioned deductions). So, @azdr0710 is correct. They need a new accountant. I get that NY is ridiculously expensive and that $500k does not take someone as far as many would think, but using fuzzy math only weakens their argument.

DiscoveringMe got a reaction from + Gar1eth in Cincinnati
I'm embarrassed to admit that I actually like Cincinnati Chili. Had it for the first time a few years ago. That said, Deadspin rates it behind being hit by a car....

DiscoveringMe got a reaction from Walker1 in @&*#ing Women Drivers!!!
This thread made me think of this video. I laugh every time. Man or woman, there are just some people that shouldn't be allowed to drive.

Thanks, DM. That was great.
There is no moment when that person makes the right decision!

And based on a 2014 study, despite numerous appeals, its likely that 20 to 30 of those were falsely convicted.

You are merely repeating a revenge-driven myth.
Cases without the death penalty cost $740,000, while cases where the death penalty is sought cost $1.26 million. Maintaining each death row prisoner costs taxpayers $90,000 more per year than a prisoner in general population. There are 714 inmates on California's death row.

DiscoveringMe reacted to + nycman in Offended by vetting
This past winter I was out at a gay social event. I didn't know anyone there.
It was all light cocktail party talk. One of the younger guys in my circle started
playing with his phone, I just assumed he was a text addicted Millennial.
After less than 10 seconds he looks right at me and says "wow, you look a
lot different in the summer". He only knew my first name and the general
area of New York where I live. He was looking at pictures of me that clearly
identified my profession and place of employment.
Although you could tell to him it was just harmless curiosity, it was a little
disturbing to me and a wake up call. In today's world everything about
you is discoverable in 10 seconds or less.
I understand your escort's reaction. Unfortunately, looking everyone you
meet up online is the new socially acceptable norm and being offended just
makes you look like a clueless old geezer.

Literally, if this thread goes on any longer I won't be able write another sentence at the end of the day. I clearly don't have the right skill set but it is what it is.
Whatever. I guess going forward I'll have to find alternative words. With that said, it could be a win-win for everyone involved, just saying.
If you have any ideas on how to avoid these words feel free to ping me and we can take it offline.

They need a new accountant. I get that NY is ridiculously expensive and that $500k does not take someone as far as many would think, but using fuzzy math only weakens their argument.
