my apartment complex has a saltwater pool, a 24-hour gym with a steam sauna, and an on-site masseuse
why did I ever own a house
Salt...water?
Lower maintenance overall, better for skin.
We're looking at a property that has one so I learned about them recently. Lower maintenance seems to be the biggest thing. No crazy ph nonsense and chlorine and whatnot.
now i am at the age where with my laziness / lack of direction and drive, i see more and more people younger than me who are more professional and competent than me and further along in their careers lol
bah

or at least the soundtrack if you aren't into visual novel type stuff
If Sallie Mae writes off my student loans and I have to pay taxes on about 40k of it, and I make 60k a year with me claiming 1, what am I looking at tax wise for owing the IRS? I'm estimating somewhere in the ballpark of about $3000 federal and $1500 state.

Yeah, it's a bit more corrosive on all the gaskets and rubber and metal pumps and all that though.
But you don't get weird chemical burny feeling when you swim in them, and your eyes don't burn like a fuck when you open them under water.

Salt water chlorination is a process that uses dissolved salt (2,500–6,000 ppm) as a store for the chlorination system.[1] The chlorine generator (also known as salt cell, salt generator, salt chlorinator or SWG) uses electrolysis in the presence of dissolved salt (NaCl) to produce hypochlorous acid (HClO) and sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), which are the sanitizing agents already commonly used in swimming pools. As such, a saltwater pool is not actually chlorine-free; it simply utilizes a chlorine generator instead of direct addition of chlorine. [...] The benefits of salt systems in pools are the convenience and the constant delivery of pure chlorine-based sanitizer. The reduction of irritating chloramines versus traditional chlorinating methods and the "softening" effect of electrolysis reducing dissolved alkali minerals in the water are also perceived as benefits. For some people that have sensitivities to chlorine, these systems may be less offensive. Salt water pools are cheaper to maintain throughout the year, since salt is significantly cheaper than the commercial chlorines.

Are they happy though, or are they actively burning out?
Everyone with my approximate skillset who is 27 didn't get a PhD but instead got a CS degree and then spent the past 5 years in business making money and gaining professionalism and doing startups or something, whereas I just started my career 10 months ago. But like...who cares? Figure out the metrics that actually matter to you--not just the metrics you grew up thinking that adults thought were important--and beat them on those. (eg, happiness of home life, # of hours spent playing videogames, etc)

“Go back to California,” Trumpie A shouts at Green Shirt. “Bitch!”
The four of us stand in a tight little circle, Trumpie A shouting insults at Green Shirt while filming Green Shirt’s reaction, me filming Trumpie A filming Green Shirt. The bulk and intensity of the Trumpies, plus the fact that Green Shirt seems to be serving as designated spokesperson for a group of protesters now gathering around, appears to be making Green Shirt nervous.
“Obama’s teaching you what fascism is?” he sputters. “Obama’s a fascist? The left is the fascists? This is so rich! So, like, the people who are being oppressed are the oppressors?”
“Do you know what’s going on in the world, man?” Trumpie A says. “You’re not fucking educated.”
This stings.
“I am very educated,” Green Shirt says.
“You have no idea what’s going on,” Trumpie B says.
“I am very educated,” Green Shirt says.
“You’ve got no idea, bro,” Trumpie A says sadly.
“Ask me a question, ask me a question,” Green Shirt says.
The Tall Trumpies, bored, wander away.
Green Shirt turns to one of his friends. “Am I educated?”
“You’re fucking educated,” the friend says.
Green Shirt shouts at the Tall Trumpies (who, fortunately for him, are now safely out of earshot), “And I’ll stomp the fucking shit out of you!”
Spotting a round-faced, brown-skinned youth in a “Make America Great Again” T-shirt, who’s been quietly listening nearby, Green Shirt snarls, “And you can get your fat fucking Chinese face out of here.”
The kid seems more quizzical than hurt.
I ask Green Shirt for clarification: did he just tell that guy to get his Chinese face out of here?
“No, I was calling his shirt Chinese,” he clarifies. “I told him to get his Chinese shirt out of here. The Trump campaign gets those shirts from China.”
I’m relieved. My liberal comrade did not commit a racial slur.
“I did call him fat, though,” he admits, then dashes back over to the kid, hisses, “Why don’t you make your waistline great again?,” and slips away into the crowd.

Lower maintenance seems crazy to me.
Cause that's like the opposite of fish tanks. Where salt water maint. is exponentially higher.
fish tanks have way higher tolerance for gunk and dirt than sparkling beautiful pools. I think that's the basic crux of things.
Yeah you can basically balance the ecosystem of your tank to never really have to clean it if you do it right. Salt water tanks are hugely expensive in comparison to freshwater.
saltwater pools are cheaper than chlorinated/shocked pools though

It is at times like this I remember the wise words of the philosopher king Marcus Aurelius, paraphrased.
"Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck. I hate this fucking job. Fuck. I hate these people. This job is boring, and it sucks. The people here are all assholes and none of them fucking read. God dammit.
Alright. Okay I can do this. Just get out of bed and head to work. Okay. It's fine, this is going to be alright. I do this, I can do some reading later.
This is so dumb, no one's even going to remember what I do anyway, I don't know why I bother. Fuck."
There's no perfect position or correct arc. The greatest people of yesteryear were often still thinking aw fuck this shit is not working out I'm a dumb asshole. Just deal with shit as it comes and don't get too disheartened.
Also whatever you do, don't allow your son to take command of the empire. He's a spoiled little asshole and you know it come on.
We're all in this together

Also re: the saltwater pool now that you guys explain it it makes sense but i feel like it would be substantially more unpleasant accidentally getting a mouth full of salt water as opposed to chlorine treated even if the chlorine tastes funny and too much is obv bad for you

Check the list of exceptions and exclusions. If those don't apply then it just goes straight on top of your gross income and you pay applicable tax.
Yeah, it's a bit more corrosive on all the gaskets and rubber and metal pumps and all that though.
But you don't get weird chemical burny feeling when you swim in them, and your eyes don't burn like a fuck when you open them under water.
