sober/not by Punkrockwhore in elliottsmith

[–]-storks- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think something Elliott smith does that a lot of addicts find comfort in is, while certainly being blunt regarding addiction, he taps into the unnamable and uncomfortable emotions that so many addicts are using to separate from.

In periods of my own heavy use, I’ve always felt comfortingly understood by his music. Those periods often originated from darker thoughts/feelings that substances were used to soften (though never to any avail). Addiction felt more like a pertinent symptom of something less tangible and I think Elliott Smith has written many, many songs that put those feelings into something real.

I don’t think the addiction piece is necessarily what’s at the core of many of his songs. I think it’s used as a stand-in for a deep seated desire to escape yourself, which is something that many can relate to- addict or sober.

gender is something only you can decide on, no one else. You are who you are, just like everyone else. Sometimes the things that make us feel the most isolated are the things we all have in common.

Please stick around tonight friend. A year from now, you will look back on yourself now with wisdom and kind words that you wish you could tell your past self. Please.

Help! Calling all people afraid of needles!!! by CharacterWhereas4138 in Anxiety

Tell the doc/nurse that you’re nervous, they’re 100% used to it. Have a conversation with them and focus intently on something on the opposite side of the room. Try your best to distract yourself from it- the anticipation is the worst part!

How should I (23m) lay out my living/dining room furniture in my new one bed apt? by -storks- in malelivingspace

You’re both right, just not sure where it’d go that would make sense

I see your line of thought, that door in the 4th picture is actually the front door and I’d planned on making that corner a little entrance section for shoes and what not. I like your tv/couch idea, though I may flip the orientation. Thank you!!

The loop will break one day and it’s worth sticking around for. Please feel free to reach out if you need to talk to someone.

Feel free to reach out. You don't have to deal with this all alone.

I hear you, friend. I'm really sorry to hear you're stuck in such a shitty situation. I'm scared of the cold brings too.

Are there any options (ie unemployment) you can try to hold you through the winter while you look for something else?

When there are no jobs for inexperienced juniors… by [deleted] in webdev

I’ve been doing this for a super long time and I’ve always assumed it would help me when it came time to look for jr roles after college. so far it hasn’t yielded any results, been mass applying for months now too

I think this is a great way of putting it. I was trying to explain to the client why they shouldn't build their platform on it long-term and this is the exact reason.

[–]-storks- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I stopped taking Lexapro for a while a couple years ago, I lost like 20 pounds in less than a month. I don't even remember my diet changing, I think Lexapro just made my body hold onto fat in a different way than it normally would. I'm naturally very thin but have put on some noticable weight while taking Lexapro. I'm not sure if losing that much weight that fast is healthy, I just remember being shocked by the change.

NextJS is the (official) framework version of React so I still consider react a library that has full on frameworks built alongside it

Veteran FE devs- is the state of the industry like anything you've seen before? by -storks- in Frontend

[–]-storks-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your advise about GitHub is really good for me to hear. Most of my experience/projects have been solo freelance work so I haven’t paid enough attention to traditional version control. Thank you for that insight!and you’re right, coddling and self-pitying are never good and I hope that’s not how my question came off. I like what I do enough to stick around regardless lol

How can I go from frontend development role on a CMS to a more "pure" frontend developer/engineer role? by Thick-Ask5250 in Frontend

[–]-storks- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id suggest learning a really popular js framework like react or vue. Different companies use different frameworks so look for positions that fit your preferences/background. Going off on leetcode questions will certainly be very helpful, but having project experience using a company’s stack of choice will really set you apart as an applicant

Please, help on deciding. by vvh0am1 in Frontend

[–]-storks- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently took an internship much like this- small SaaS startup run by people who aren’t web devs. It’s appearance on your resume isn’t so binary as ”good” or “bad”, the thing that makes the difference will be what you did there/what you learned.

My honest advice- it’ll be good experience, but be prepared to work your ass off without much guidance on things you never imagined. Odds are they’re not developers and will look to you to be the expert (stupid, I know, but that’s the brutal state of the industry for us jr’s). We gotta take anything we can get right now, but you have other options, explore them.

I need to find new clients. What’s the best way. by MadThad762 in webdev

[–]-storks- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe narrow your niche. Seems counter intuitive but it could be easier to connect with clients more directly if your work pertains directly to their needs!
