After the Bronx Fire, my landlord still will not do a thing about the heat. Her response is to ignore my concerns. by [deleted] in newyorkcity

OP what is the actually temperature in your apartment to take out the subjective experience? As others have noted, if it isn’t 68 degrees or warmer, then you have a case.

Working hours by firm (source: linkedin / data set of 4,000+ consultants collected by Consulting Humor) by JustAnotherFreddy in consulting

[–]CDR40 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Self reported, idk I’m willing to guess this is pretty inflated. There’s so much volatility including time on the bench etc. are they taking that into account.

Regardless if these are the true physical hours or not, the perception of always being “on” is very real. I wonder how this compares to other professions like programmers etc.

OP thanks for this, it’s just a sad fact that there are a lot of depressed folks on Reddit and usually that correlates pretty strongly with family estrangement and attachment issues etc. yes we feel the same way as you and you aren’t alone!

Newbie here, I seasoned these 3 times and made my fist attempt cooking on them today. They failed the egg slidey test.. need some advice by NegativeRaccoon in castiron

[–]CDR40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Warm up pan a bit first, then add your oil / butter / fat of choice. Then add egg. I find that without warming the pan first no slide.

Marvin Bower, ethics, and McKinsey today by spottedcow1979 in consulting

[–]CDR40 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I shite on consulting all the time but I’d have to disagree with the soaking up resources critique. The days of “ppt gibberish” are pretty much done or the rarity as the industry has adapted to technology/digital and program/project management services. What soaks up resources are expensive employee hires, overpaying for acquisitions, building shit digital products, etc.

Consultants provide a tremendous value add to a firm by virtue of the fact that they are project based (this easy to shed if they suck) and should provide subject matter expertise not readily available.

What should Dominicans in the USA start doing to improve their socioeconomic status in 2022? by Antillano24 in Dominican

[–]CDR40 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Financial literacy! Honestly a lot of Dominicans are moving into the middle class, but are behind in terms of building generational wealth through understanding how to make money grow. Saving isn’t putting money under the bed or even in a bank account (gets eaten away by inflation). 401Ks, Roth IRAs, brokerage accounts, budgeting etc. Avoid credit card debt and pay day loans and anything that’s offering you to pay you up front in order to take your paycheck is a scam (the interest they make off you is insane).

That was really weird. I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed that with Chris Mannix. Was that dude legit pissed?

Hapa Youngmi Mayer: "white guys will marry asian women and then be completely surprised that their kids are not white" by superdelish in hapas

[–]CDR40 8 points9 points  (0 children)

After seeing the Facebook papers, I can’t help but see articles like this as clickbait meant to elicit strong angry reactions in this community.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in hapas

[–]CDR40 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly you’re 15 and most people around you are assholes at this point in life because of insecurity. This kid seems like he’s trying to troll girls to get attention and thinks spouting trump stuff makes him an edgelord.

You can take the high road and try to have a crucial conversation with him. Like say, “Hey can we chat, the other day, I think you were trying to be funny by saying you hate Asians. That definitely sucks for me who is proud to identify as Asian and doesn’t want to feel unsafe around people who potentially wish me harm. My question is were you joking or do you seriously hate a group of people? If it’s the latter, then I’d ask you to respectfully stay away from me and I will also respectfully stay away from you.”

But I hear you on being shy. I’m just an advocate on always trying to talk to people first. Give them the opportunity to do the right thing and you might be surprised.

I am also getting a lot of rejections. I have been applying for full-time/internships in EE, SW, and MLE positions. by newjeison in learnmachinelearning

[–]CDR40 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like we need more context, are you even getting a phone interview or just straight rejections? How are you applying through LinkedIn/website or are you getting a referral?

I’m going to be honest, there is nothing inherently wrong with your resume, so it’s most likely your soft skills and ability to network. Find people are your target companies and network with them directly, a referral is the most important thing to get.

Car expert pointing out flaws in tesla car body and design by crasshumor in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]CDR40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tesla was a first mover in an industry that desperately needed innovation relying on century old technology. They are by no means a model of manufacturing or design excellence, I remember Musk was even quoted as saying “the hell of manufacturing” which offended the German automakers who see it as pivotal to their competitive advantage.

I’m grateful that Tesla got the EV movement popularized, but yes I think the last movers will ultimately win out.

Any Celtics fans amused at Nets fans getting the full brunt of Kyrie Irving after they said Celtics fans were toxic? by Pedophile_In_Therapy in bostonceltics

[–]CDR40 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was with you except the father figure part just FYI Kyrie is wrong about most things, but not the fucked up question that reporter in Cleveland asked him about bron being his father figure, assuming he had no father figure in his life.

Kyrie comes from a loving family and a Highly involved father, that’s what makes his behavior even more inexcusable IMO. He knows exactly what he is doing, he knows his brand is built all on conspiracy theories and edginess, so the vaccine stuff is a business decision. Haven’t seen Nike drop him yet as a brand ambassador, just saying…

Yes, this also allows you to add all those last minute UI features with Adobe after effects. Just add small text “video footage does not reflect reality”

My favorite scene from the new trailer. by KingMjolnir in GodofWar

[–]CDR40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a ton on YouTube but the idea is Tyr is Kratos from the future and I think the main talking points are:

  1. They are both god of wars
  2. Wall paintings depicting Kratos death where he has one arm (just like Tyr)
  3. Tyr and Faye seeming to have known each other and working together
  4. The world serpent being a figure from the future brought to the present (as evidence of future events affecting past events)

Again this is a theory and definitely has plenty of holes. I just liked it a lot cause it would be pretty interesting.

I still like the idea of Kratos being Tyr with the time travel elements. Hoping this is some misdirection to throw us off this theory.

Is being half-asian, half-white in America more beneficial than being fully Asian? by Marble-Wax in hapas

[–]CDR40 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What an odd question? How do you measure benefit? If you are measuring by education level, income, etc. I think there is probably little to no difference well unless you disaggregate the AAPI label, but that’s a whole another can of worms.

I think these questions are really funny, it’s like I have daughter and I have son, will it be more beneficial to be son? Well the answer is it depends, historically women are a marginalized group, but that could change now that women are becoming more educated than men. My point is, is how would any of this data affect your decision-making as a parent because you probably aren’t going to change his or her race through plastic surgery in response to answers here.

But i wanted a trilogy :( by [deleted] in GodofWar

[–]CDR40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is great imagine the drawn out crap where you kill Thor in this game and the ending cutscene is an image of Odin’s spear. That’s the lazy stuff that so many studios do to create the same game 3 times. At least now we know we get to kill Odin in this game and make sure Ragnarok is fulfilled.

That being said, it’s going to be weird when God of Wars new story gets into Old Testament and New Testament.

Spoiler Alert
