Anthony Bourdain dead at 61

[Rob]

Really sucks that he's dead, as I enjoyed his stuff. If Mike Rowe passes somehow I'm moving to a cabin in the woods.

a friend who worked devops at amazon tells me it's *not* a good place to work, even at the engineer level.

I wouldn't know, I was merely checking salaries on Glassdoor to see what it would take to keep a comparable standard of living.

I was surprised to see the avg salary for my title in Seattle as a whole is literally only few % points higher than what I make here.

That title at Amazon was much more inline with the cost of living increase.

I just looked around Amazon or Microsoft would come the closest to making up the income gap (still end up spending a larger % of your income on housing), but I think my NDA/Non-Compete means I couldn't go to work for Amazon.

Wow - you might be going to the wrong spots! (But I agree with most of what you said - let ALL BE UNIQUE.....Oh, and copy one another to a "T". Tats, check. Beard, check. Unwashed hair and clothes? Check!



No, you should have bought it 10 years ago. :pimp:

I was using a pretty broad brush of generalization. But the ratio of hipsters to normal people is high. I get a laugh out of the I look like a lumberjack from the 1920's but my testosterone levels are too low to even swing an axe, let alone pick it up

Amazon, Boeing, US Navy/Army and Microsoft would need to go out of business for that to happen. So yea, you might be right. ;D

Considering there's little to no chance of things going south anytime soon, there's really no time better than the present.

Liberal hipsters everywhere in seattle. I loathe going to seattle, it's full of people that try so hard to be a hipster, but they are all the same. Kinda ironic, and they dont see it. They really are mindless idiots, but they do make some amazing food and beer. Food and beer are the only reasons to go into that shithole

then you should buy some real estate there, *now*.

Can confirm. Seattle is both a hipsters paradise, and home prices have doubled in the last 8-10 year, and moving up. It's not stopping. It's quite the conundrum. It's almost EXACTLY like SF in the 90's.

and the cost of living up there is just as much as it is down here..

I have no idea where you heard this, but it says more about you than about hipsters.

You're going to judge my character on something so trivial?

That's exactly what a hipster would do...

Anyways, I'll leave this here

Hipster's are the demographic of people that get a boner when you say "Seattle"

No need to regret when you can just fucking do it!

Just got back from traveling Japan (Tokyo, Osaka, Kobé) for the past couple weeks after backpacking SE Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand) and wouldn’t take it back for the world. I have less money than you for sure and still made it a priority to experience it no excuses my friend.

To a lot of you that had to fuck up a memorial thread w your gentrification woes. Let me ask you this, what would you of done if you were in our shoes? Sina (freeride) and I both grew up in a world of this bullshit and made the most of it. We flocked to where the job market is and now ya’ll blame our generation for messing it up? Do you guys just expect us to graduate with these degrees and die so you guys can grab our salaries and standard of living. We worked for it just as every other generation did, yet we get blamed for no fucking reason.

Call us hipsters or millenials, but we were born in this era and are making the most of it while respecting future and past generations. So maybe take a look in the mirror before blaming our liberal snowflake fucktard generation cuz we’re doing the best we can with what we got. /rant

+kronus for adding some perspective to these bitters. A lot of us didn’t choose to grow up in the bay area, yet we did. And with that came 1st gen immigrant parents, competitive ass schools, and high expectations. Like I said before, we milked the shit w what we had and made the most of it.

‘Adapt or die’ - brad pitt; fight club.

Wow, you took this personally..

And you're talking about fucking up a memorial thread, yet here you are writing paragraphs about yourself..

Also, "hipster" is not some blanket term for people in their mid twenties
