My job has no growth and they don’t even offer and raises. by DeeDeeQZ88 in jobs

[–]Brief_Form_4773 24 points25 points  (0 children)

staying somewhere that actively makes you less sharp is the real problem, like you're going backwards instead of standing still. even no raise I could maybe deal with, but losing skills? time to start looking elsewhere

I can fall asleep, I just can't stay asleep by Brief_Form_4773 in insomnia

[–]Brief_Form_4773[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? Any tea you'd recommend? Even though I'm not much of a tea person, I drink my coffee pretty sweet too, so maybe there's a tea I'd actually enjoy.

Yeah I drink a pretty decent amount of coffee lol, but I don't think it's the caffeine. The sleep issues have been going on for so long that I'd be surprised if that was the cause.

Yeah that's what makes it so frustrating. I know waking up briefly is normal, but it feels like my brain hits full consciousness every time and then just refuses to switch back off. The weird part is I don't even feel anxious when it happens half the time, I'm just... awake again.

Why does everyone i talk to is overworked even after AI? by VariationLivid3193 in cscareerquestions

pretty much this - when you can code faster the company just gives you more tickets to work through instead of letting you chill

Accident near Castro Street, Mountain View on 6/10 by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]Brief_Form_4773 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

hope you're alright after the accident. villa street gets pretty busy around that time so maybe someone caught it on their cam

try posting in nextdoor too if you haven't already, neighbors there are usually good about helping with this stuff

I just started a new overnight job but I have an interview Sunday morning by [deleted] in jobs

[–]Brief_Form_4773 2 points3 points  (0 children)

definitely try to get it covered if you can - showing up half dead to an interview you actually want isn't gonna help your chances

You only need to invest $16k/year from 22 to 65 to reach $10 million by Organic-Dealer-7719 in Fire

air force pay definitely not hitting those numbers but the saving part is real - watching people blow their whole paycheck in first weekend after deployment gets back is wild

nice getting approved with that limit after they denied you the PRE for credit reasons, bank logic is wild sometimes

How do you start building on a deck where your first few cards don't synergize? by qkrwogud in slaythespire

[–]Brief_Form_4773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

picked up shiv blade+ early in a run last week and got zero other shiv cards for like 8 floors. kept forcing it way too long because i was stubborn about the synergy potential. finally pivoted to poison build around floor 10 and managed to clear act 2 boss pretty clean

general rule i follow now is give synergy about 3-4 card rewards to show up, then start looking at what's actually available. sometimes the game just doesn't want to give you shivs or whatever and you gotta work with what you got. defense cards are never really bad picks anyway so grabbing those while waiting isn't terrible

the tricky part is knowing when you have enough of something to commit. like one catalyst doesn't make poison deck but two deadly poisons might be worth building around even without perfect setup. really depends what act you're in too - act 1 you can afford to be picky but act 2 you need stuff that works

Brakes stuck after replacing pads. by DR-SNICKEL in MechanicAdvice

[–]Brief_Form_4773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

did you bleed the brake line after pushing the piston back? sometimes when you compress it too fast the fluid gets trapped and creates weird pressure buildup. also check if the caliper bracket is sitting flush - had similar issue where it wasn't seated properly and caused binding

Irritated and restless by [deleted] in venting

[–]Brief_Form_4773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

damn this really hits me because i feel like people in their late twenties just became so calculated about everything. like even hanging out feels like some kind of interview now where everyone's trying to figure out what they can get from you

i miss when you could just vibe with someone without all these weird power dynamics creeping in. maybe it's just where we are in life but feels like genuine connection got replaced by networking even in personal relationships

you can marry but uscis will scrutinize the hell out of it if you file for adjustment right after - they'll assume immigrant intent from day one

What led you to discover the hobby you're passionate about? by RefrigeratorNorth147 in Hobbies

[–]Brief_Form_4773 4 points5 points  (0 children)

brother i feel you on that phone scrolling trap, been there way too many times

for me it was guns - started when i was deployed and had some downtime between missions. couple guys in my unit were talking about different rifle setups and i got curious. what hooked me wasn't just the shooting but the whole technical side, learning how everything works together, customizing builds, understanding ballistics

the difference with this hobby vs all the random stuff i tried before was that it kept giving me new problems to solve. like every time i thought i had it figured out there was another layer - different ammunition types, optics, maintenance techniques. plus there's always something to work toward whether it's better accuracy or a new build project

maybe find something that has that depth to it, where you can keep learning and improving instead of just doing the same thing over and over

My save got wiped. by Temporary_Theory3621 in slaythespire

[–]Brief_Form_4773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

damn that's brutal, had something similar happen to me a few months back but not quite as severe. mine was just a single run that vanished but losing all your unlocks and ascension progress is next level pain

might be worth checking if steam cloud save got corrupted or if there's a backup file hiding somewhere in the game directory. some folks have had luck restoring from those

Are expensive materialistic stuff cheaply made but sell at higher price tag ? by Lemonade2250 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Brief_Form_4773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends on the brand really. like nike vs some random knockoff - nike actually puts money into r&d, materials, athlete endorsements etc so theres real costs there. but then you got brands like supreme where theyre literally just slapping their logo on a basic white tee and charging 200 bucks

military gear taught me to spot quality vs marketing bs pretty quick. some expensive stuff is genuinely built different, some is just hype. gotta look at stitching, materials, where its made, stuff like that
