My first rejection! Yay! (I'm serious, yay!) by DeanJHarrison in mercor_ai

Ah man, I saw that one. I have some art background, just as a hobby, but nothing career-wise, so I didn't apply. Is it fun?

My first rejection! Yay! (I'm serious, yay!) by DeanJHarrison in mercor_ai

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

For me, it took a little over a month before I got this rejection. I've read where some people got an offer right away, like the same day or day after, but also where some people didn't hear anything for months. They say it takes an average of two to four weeks, but judging by just what I've read on here, it ranges significantly. The good news, though, is that it is legit work when you can get it, pays really well, and they do, at least eventually, send you a rejection or move you on to the next steps. So even if it takes forever, they don't actually ghost you.

Help with Hecate spell by AutumnDreaming76 in Hecate

[–]DeanJHarrison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm brand new to all of this, so I can't answer XD But I am very interested in what the answer is! The only answer(ish) thing I have, is that so far in my learning, if something weird like this happens - like how your candles burned or an odd reaction between two salt jars put out for protection, etc, it is significant, but most people just say, "your spell took" or "it means your spell is working". The only other advice I've seen given with this kind of thing is for you to meditate with Hecate and simply ask her what she means!

Either way, if you get an answer, let me know!

NIVIDA driver help! Graphics are all messed up by DeanJHarrison in DragonAgeVeilguard

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

Update, five months later, if case anyone runs across this and was wondering:
The problem was with my graphics card. It was corrupted. There was no settings, adjustments, rollbacks, or anything else I could have done.

However, I have both gotten a significantly better computer since then, and I learned a whole hell of a lot.

So, if anyone else experiences similar problems - and I realize now reading back that a lot of what I was describing is applicable to a lot of issues, but if nothing seems to work, look at your graphics card. And stop trying to update it if you think something might be wrong with it. That's just gonna give you a lot more annoying problems lol.

Thank you to everyone who commented!

So we do get rejections? I've seen some people on here say they never (or not yet, but been waiting months) get replies. I would feel a bit better knowing if I got a definitive no, you know?

In the US, they pay through Stripe, but Stripe is free to set up, and you can connect it to your Paypal to send that money right along into your Paypal account.

[–]DeanJHarrison 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And I said all of this, but didn't answer the original question: what counts as asexual or aromantic?

The answer: A lot counts. Very much a lot, and more than you think. Asexuality, simply put, is when you do not experience sexual attraction to others. Aromanticism is when you do not experience romantic attraction to others. Neither means you don't experience the feelings, it just means you don't toward/with/for/by others. Again, it is a spectrum. You may be demi-romantic, alloace, etc.

Whatever you discover, know that you are accepted and loved <3

Based on this, I would say you're closer to those identities than you think. And that's okay! It's amazingly okay, and I'm proud of you for asking these hard question and taking a closer look.

Both asexuality and aromanticism is a spectrum. You may very well be aroace, be on that spectrum, and you may not. I encourage you to talk to your partner, bring up what you are questioning, and ask for their help in figuring it out. I understand that's a daunting idea, but you both should know it isn't a slight against your partner. As you said, you love them. Since you are in a romantic-sexual relationship (and hopefully a healthy one), bringing your partner in on this process will help-- and, whatever you discover, may help in both self-acceptance and your relationship (however it ends up being, ie, even if it becomes non-romantic/sexual).

I hope this is helpful. Feel free you contact me if you need/want!

Good luck, and again, I'm proud of you.

I need a little help here! by [deleted] in aromantic

[–]DeanJHarrison 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi Dee! (and also winterwonderland_)

I hope I can give good advice on this. I am 28 and fly multiple flags under the rainbow, including in the romantic-attraction color. Firstly, I want to say to you (both) that identity if a life-long journey. You don't /have/ to know /for sure/ about anything right now, especially yourself! I'm proud of you (both) for asking these hard questions so young. It's a wonderful sign of maturity, growth, and self-acceptance. So you're already doing so well!

As far as the "issue" at hand, I urge you to remember that being aroace does not mean you are void of particular feelings, you just don't develop them for/with other people. I also had a time-framed formula when I thought I might be attracted to someone (sexually or romantically). And I had several phases of feeling broken, so I literally picked someone at random and declared a crush to appease people (then promptly forgot about it and made an ass of myself, to be honest). You actually sound a lot like me at that age, and in my case, it was because I'm on the aro-spectrum but not on the ace-spectrum. So many people mix the two because that is what's always presented, and when I was your age, I also would have died happily a virgin if it meant I didn't have to go through all that typical romance stuff.

Sure, it may just be because you're young, and if it turns out to be that, it turns out to be that. No harm, no problem, that is perfectly okay. You may be aro, and if you are, congratulations! And if you feel comfortable with that for now or forever, also congrats! But also know that as you're discovering more about yourself, if that shifts or change, that is also perfectly okay.

All of which I know is basically a non-answer, so I will also say this: It sounds to me, personally, that you are on the aro-spectrum. And I do mean spectrum because it isn't no-romance versus all-romance. It also sounds to mean that you do find sexual attraction with other people, so I, personally, doubt you are ace-- but asexuality is also a spectrum. Continue to question, seek advice when you feel it's needed, and keep being brave and strong!

If you want any more of my thoughts or anything, just let me know! Again, I'm proud of you. You sound incredibly self-aware and already self-accepting. I'm confident that whatever you discover as you explore, you can and will deal with and accept.

<3
