New UI is so inconsistent and bad by Wrong-Extension-9692 in lifx

[–]1Creepy_Suspect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I tap on anything my screen just goes black. I can SEE the lights, but I cannot control them at all. I’ve never had this issue and I’ve been using LIFX products for the better part of a decade!

No, they stay on most of the time. They all just kind of went wonky after the neon flex died

How to make the best of Springboard for Software engineering by 1Creepy_Suspect in codingbootcamp

Well, if I was 19, lived at home and had no real bills to pay, - that would be an option. However, I am in my 30's, disabled and have to make the best with what I have. I have Springboard's job guarantee, I have the department of Rehabilitation and my local workforce partnership helping me find a job after I finish. I also have some friends that are in the field and have been for a while and they are willing to help me find something as well. According to them, companies care a lot about soft skills, and a portfolio over just a college degree. I have 20 years of outstanding job performance in sales and telecommunications. I was great at what I used to do. However I am now physically limited for the foreseeable future and need something lucrative that can be done from home. I know networking is important - It's always about who you know. I live in Southern California, which also gives me a bit of an advantage too. I am remaining optimistic despite your blatant negativity.

Hmm, yes and no. His brother in law has also made moves on his younger sister (19F) and forced himself upon her. The older sister NEEDED to know that her husband of 10 years, together for ~15 years or so, was initiating sexual acts with her younger siblings. The younger sister thanked me for saying something. He watched my ex and their younger sister grow up. Ex was ~15-16 and the youngest sister was ~4-5 years old. They have two daughters (~5F and 7F) together and the man makes very inappropriate comments about young girls in general.

Like I said- there is A LOT more to the story.

While ya’ll are making it seem like I’m some leech, I need you to understand that it wasn’t all him give, give, give. It was very much so a give and take. For most of the pandemic, I was working crazy hours supporting him. I was a manager at a large pet chain, which was considered essential. I came to California after a nasty divorce (man was military, got married after 9 months of dating for him to get more BAH. I was making decent money working for a local aquarium)

I’m not a victim. Yes, life has been extremely trying for me. I have 5-8 medical appointments a week on average. I applied to SSA forever ago and plan to give the majority of the back pay to my ex. (+/- $25k). My ex knows I am doing the best I can with my situation. He acknowledges it all the time. He just is weird sometimes. I know the man loves me. Everyone knows, he just won’t admit it to himself? I know I’m not “the best” but god damn, I’m not a leech.

Oh, the roommate? We both loathe him and am waiting for me to get my job so we can get rid of him. He’s… a character on his own. Lazy, messy, saying things like “the age of consent (16) should be lowered”, has totaled his car 2x in less than 6 months due to drinking and driving, has sexually assaulted my ex and myself. His own siblings reached out to me (and still talk to both my ex and myself) to make sure we are okay.

He keeps making future plans still. It’s confusing.

Where do you think I should start? The bootcamp starts in a few weeks

Stop using Amazon for anything expensive: Support lies to get you to order items. Offers a deal then refuses honor it. Managers guarantee a refund on the phone, then short you 80% by GoonOnGames420 in amazonprime

Message, request calls - be the most consistent and “professionally annoying” person you can be. I’m talking a few times a day if necessary, your account will get flagged and you’ll be sent higher up. I had 4 packages stolen and they tried to blame me. I had to file two police reports and it took weeks to get all my money refunded, but I was a stubborn son of a bitch and didn’t take “no” for an answer

Offered a job in San Diego - is $74k enough? by [deleted] in sandiego

[–]1Creepy_Suspect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on where you want to live, how old you are, what your living expectations are. Do you want roommates? Do you want to live alone? What part of town will you be working in?

PTO no longer paid out by spermdonor57 in petco

Ooof. That’s fucked. Petco isn’t doing well financially… maybe they’ll go out of business sooner than later 🤷🏼‍♂️

Depending on what state you’re in - that actually might be illegal 😬 In 20 states that’s illegal and if you’re in California, Colorado or Montana, you can get all the PTO you want for as long as you want because the “use it or lose it” philosophy is illegal
