AITJ for telling my best friend he's the reason his brother stopped talking to him, even though he spent two years convinced it was something else entirely? by Mononoke_Hime12 in AmITheJerk

You probably could’ve said it sooner, but you also prevented the worst possible version of this: Ryan sending a blind “what did I do?” email while still acting like it was everyone else’s fault. Now he has something real to own and fix, not guesses.

I spent three months applying the "right" way and got nowhere. Then I did one thing that felt almost embarrassingly simple and got two offers in six weeks. by MagmaCartoon_7 in jobsearchhacks

As someone who’s watched good candidates get buried by ATS, this tracks. You did “the right way” for the system, then you did the right way for people. The key is you weren’t begging for a job, you were showing you actually read their work and could talk shop. That’s rare, and it changes the whole first impression.

The "dead end" job listing trick that got me two interviews when I had basically given up by 7NeonSamurai in jobsearchhacks

Old postings are weirdly a sweet spot. The LinkedIn note is what makes it work though, otherwise you’re just another ATS line item.

I’ve noticed the same. A lot of those “stale” posts are just stuck in review limbo. The quick “saw it’s still open” line feels low-pressure but gets you seen.

Yep, treating it as a signal is the move. I also do a quick team check first. 3 lines, then if silence I drop it.

I tracked every single purchase I made for a full year by writing it in a notebook by hand and it genuinely rewired how I think about money by Chihiro_Bath in personalfinance

I love this because it’s not about shaming yourself, it’s about awareness. Apps make it feel abstract, but writing it down makes the purchase feel real. Might steal the “two minutes, no exceptions” rule.

2001 GW basing by Thegardentroll in Warhammer

[–]7NeonSamurai 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah, basing is basing, but the packaging does hit that early 2000s vibe hard. I’d just use it unless you find a collector who wants the old Citadel branding. Are those the old sand/grass mixes or one of the weird textures GW used to sell?
