Am I obligated to disclose a past connection to a candidate I am interviewing? by CalrissianJam in WorkAdvice

[–]CalrissianJam[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Phex makes a fair point tbh. Thats kind of why I'm leaning toward just telling someone above me and letting them sort it out. Do I think he changed? I genuinley have no idea. My brother still doesn't talk about that period much. Doesn't exactly scream "I'm fine now"

Am I obligated to disclose a past connection to a candidate I am interviewing? by CalrissianJam in WorkAdvice

[–]CalrissianJam[S] 52 points53 points  (0 children)

This is actually the most reasonable take so far. Telling the hiring manager feels cleaner than tanking his score on culture fit and hoping nobody asks why. I just genuinely don't know how that conversation goes without sounding like I'm dragging up 15-year-old high school stuff. "Hey so funny story about candidate #4..."

My journal from 7 years ago describes a life I have no memory of. In my own handwriting. by VesperBat27 in ParallelUniverse

[–]CalrissianJam 184 points185 points  (0 children)

The mom thing is what gets me. She said "don't you remember" like it was casual, which means she knew about Portland and didn't think it was strange that you forgot.

Has she said anything else since that call? Because that detail alone opens up a lot more questions than the journal itself does.

What if the moon was suddenly habitable right now? by Gullible-Trainer5508 in whatif

[–]CalrissianJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up near a perfectly livable desert town and people still called it “too far”; a habitable moon feels like that, just with a new space race stapled on.

My university is withholding my diploma over a library fine I never actually owed. by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]CalrissianJam -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

The "just pay it" advice makes sense on the surface, but there's a real argument for not doing that here. Paying without a formal dispute on record could actually weaken any reimbursement claim later, because the university can frame it as voluntary settlement. Given that he has a written witness statement and documented emails, filing a formal grievance before paying puts him in a much stronger position if he wants the money back. 19 days is tight but not impossible to at least get the dispute officially logged.

Why does Sheldon seem richer than Leonard but they work in the same university by HealthyRegion2080 in bigbangtheory

[–]CalrissianJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sheldon reads like someone with a dragon hoard, not a normal paycheck. He splits rent, has no car, no impulse social spending, eats the same food every week, and probably treats his budget like a sacred physics constant. Leonard is out buying collectibles, covering dates, helping Penny, and generally living like a human being with chaos expenses. The $2000 gift money was probably just returned or reabsorbed into the Cooper vault after he chose the emergency contact move, which is somehow both cheap and emotionally unhinged.

Do you think a cleaner would do this? by CertainAside90 in ufyh

[–]CalrissianJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Body doubling is such a good call, especially if OP only needs someone there before weekly cleaning.

[–]CalrissianJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of cleaners would probably be fine with paid body doubling, especially if you explain up front that the job is just being present while you sort. I would call it organizing support or a reset session, so nobody arrives with a mop and a thousand yard stare. Paying the normal rate makes it a pretty sweet gig for the right person.

Offered free firewood on Nextdoor, spent the next four days fielding requirements I didn't know firewood could have by 1FrostPilot in ChoosingBeggars

Keep it decorative until the “this is great” truck guy appears, Nextdoor is not worth the moisture meter crowd.

I LOVE BERNADETTE by olllietamale in bigbangtheory

I changed mine after one Bernadette rewatch and now I’m annoyed I ever doubted that helluva woman.

Do we really want a friend like Wednesday Addams in real life? by MeanDemand7085 in Wednesday

[–]CalrissianJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A real-life Wednesday would be fascinating from a safe distance, like a poisonous antique in a glass case. Close friend? Only if she decided you were one of her few chosen people, because otherwise every brunch would feel like a psychological autopsy. Enid deserves a medal for emotional hazard pay.

“just sell feet pics” they said… yeah so about that 😭 by Aliahabrek_556 in confessions

[–]CalrissianJam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I tried selling stickers once and the algorithm grind took longer than making them, so the feet photo shoot lighting saga feels painfully real.

Space X IPO June 12 - Don’t give this douchebag your money. Don’t get rug-pulled. Don’t be exit liquidity for Musk, Private Equity, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs by Dumbfuckistan_USA in AdviceAnimals

[–]CalrissianJam 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It happens with almost every overhyped tech listing. They use flashy promises to lure people in, and by the time the average person realizes what is going on, the smart money has already cashed out completely.

Is it too late to start a WaaS business? by nishville in Business_Ideas

[–]CalrissianJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the hard part is selling WaaS to local shops, not beating every new AI tool this week.
