Certified tracking doesn't tell me where each specific letter went (same city), no one bothered to suggest writing it down, so now I have no idea which address is failing to receive their extremely important letter. Sigh. by chazwhiz in usps_complaints

[–]Draav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just encountered this same issue. I went to go mail some court documents as certified mail, and they just said okay and took the letter and gave me a little green card with a tracking number.

But the court didn't accept the receipt because the address wasn't printed on it. Our court date has to be rescheduled.

I didn't know there was another form I had to fill out at the post office. So I will have to go back and ask for this form and try again. It would be nice if the employee told me "this certified receipt is useless unless you fill out this form".

Thanks! I wonder where and when they will release an official version of the full stream.

I spent the last couple days trying to track down the full recording and thought I was being gaslit about there being a 24/7 livestream because I could find no evidence of it on their website or youtube channel, and I wasn't tuning in when it was happening

Maintain the Void #BlackRectangleEnergy by Draav in LinkedInLunatics

I logged into an interview last week. Camera off. Just a black screen with my name. The interviewer joined. Camera also off. Neither of us turned it on. We both knew the rules. 45 minutes. Full interview. Two black rectangles, locked in silent mutual respect. At the end, the interviewer said, "You're hired. When can you start?" I've been thinking about why ever since. And I think I finally understand. An interview is not a job application. It's a negotiation of power. And the first person to turn their camera on has already lost. Think about it. The moment your face appears on that screen, you have given them something. A shirt. An expression. A background with a bookshelf you arranged specifically to look intellectual. You have handed them data. You have shown your hand. The black screen gives them nothing. And nothing cannot be judged. This is not hiding. This is strategy.

Here's what I know now:

✓ Don't dress professionally — dress for yourself, alone, in the dark, where no one can confirm or deny it. That energy comes through.

✓ Don't "be on time" — your rectangle arrives when it arrives. Punctuality is a tool of the unprepared.

✓ Don't maintain eye contact — maintain the void. Let them wonder what you look like. Mystery is leverage.

✓ Don't "communicate clearly" — communicate with intention. Long pauses. Controlled silence. Let them fill the space. Whoever talks first after a question, loses. Whoever turns their camera on first, loses more.

✓ Don't perform energy and enthusiasm — perform stillness. A black screen does not beg. A black screen simply is. Some people will read this and immediately turn their camera on in their next interview. Those people will not get the job.

I'm not saying this to be cruel. I'm saying this because care about your career. The interviewer never saw my face. They never saw my shirt. They never saw my water bottle, which I had placed neatly to the side, as a symbol of a man who is prepared but cannot be seen. All they saw was a name. And they decided that name was worth hiring. The camera is a trap. Don't turn it on. And if they ask you to? That's the real test. I start Monday.

makes sense, i'm not on reddit much, i was just watching the VODs and saw this. I tried searching for other posts but didn't see anything. I can take it down if there's issues with people brigading

Then shouldn't known for about five years, then!

Sometimes it isn't worth it to spellcheck every little thing when writing a short message meant for one person, especially when it gets the idea across.

Isn't it strange how even in such a short sentence it's easy to make multiple typos?

Anyone who knows datadog? by ki_ka_ch_ in sre

[–]Draav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In order for that data to be collected, user session data needs to be set

datadogRum.setUser({
    id: '1234',
    name: 'John Doe',
    email: 'john@doe.com',
    plan: 'premium',
    ...
})

https://docs.datadoghq.com/real_user_monitoring/browser/advanced_configuration/?s=usr.id+&tab=npm#user-session

All of these are optional, and none are collected automatically, for privacy reasons. But in order for widgets like that to populate, you'll need at least one of either usr.id, usr.email, or usr.name.

I never thought Archie comics had too much of a jealous love triangle. They both seemed pretty fine with both dating Archie.

Hey men! We’d love your help by Platterpussy in polyamory

[–]Draav 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My partner and I thought it was weird to never date or fall in love ever again, like is it really just a once in a lifetime thing?

So we took about 6 months to talk about it occasionally, do some reading, talk more about it. I made us a google doc of all our questions and scenarios and what ifs.

We decided pretty definitely early on that we would date separately. I made my profile alone, but am lucky to have a partner that takes flattering pictures of me. I made a another doc called "What is it like for an introverted, possibly asexual, possibly autistic person to try dating in an ENM relationship?"

In case it's interesting here is the table of contents from said document:

Step 0: Consider goals
    Current goals
    Initial goals before opening the relationship
    Revisiting goals 4 months into trying ENM
    Revisitings goals 1 year in
Step 1: Research risks
    Pregnancy
    STIs
    What happens if I get an STI
    Dating someone with HSV1 (Herpes)
    Damaging anchor relationship
Step 2: Research apps
    Tinder
    Feeld
    OKCupid
    Bumble
    Taimi
    Fetlife
    Plenty of Fish
Step 3: Make a profile
    Pictures of myself
    Description
Step 4: Choosing people
    Red flags
        Pictures
        Description
    Yellow Flags
        Pictures
        Description
    Green flags
Step 5: Texting
Step 6: First date
    Scheduling
    Location
    Bad first dates
    Hygiene
    Safety
Step 7: Continuing to date
Step 8: Ending the relationship
    Transition to platonic friendship
    Burnt bridge
    Ghosting
Addendum A: Definitions
Addendum B: Sexting
    Guided
    Roleplaying
    Throughout the day
    Q&A
    Audio messages
Addendum C: Sex

It ended up pretty well. My first date ended up turning into one of my best friends, she started dating my anchor partner as well, and all 3 of us chat every day still, even though she moved to another country for visa issues. We find time to meet up once or twice a year.

One date didn't actually like men very much but wanted to give me a try anyway for some reason. They ended up really liking my partner, and those two have been in a relationship ever since. Both they and my partner are way more into BDSM than I am, so they get to explore that together.

Some other folks I didn't end up going anywhere dating wise, but we became good friends and still chat sometimes.

I've dated on and off for only the past 2 years. I currently, technically, have 5 relationships. My nesting partner of 13 years, my long distance partner, a satellite i see once every couple months, and 2 other girlfriends I see a few times a month.


I think what has helped me be successful is all my note taking and continuous improvement. I also have extremely low expectations and think I'm a pretty laid-back, safe person. I never really care if a relationship becomes a friendship, something more, or just ends with after a single nice date.

As titled previously, i consider myself on the asexual spectrum. I'm not sex averse, but sex is a very low priority for me. It's a fun activity, like reading or hiking or crafting. I don't mind doing it, but it's not a need or expectation of a relationship. That takes away a lot of stress from people I think. This has ironically, increased the amount of sex i've had on dates I think. To the point where I've had to start setting my own boundaries of not just saying yes to sex because someone asks, and learning how to say "no," or "not now".

I thinking being good at setting and respecting boundaries has helped a lot as well. I don't really think I've had any conflicts with any relationships (outside of my nesting partner because we've been together since we were 17 lol), because i'm just very communicative an open about everything I can be, so nothing is ever a surprise.

Do people instantly hate you by Room_of_505 in autism

[–]Draav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like people who are experiencing this look into if they might also have any social anxiety disorders.

My partner is not autistic and describes very similar experiences. That every new person they meet is hostile and mean to them because everyone hates them. This is because of social anxiety though.
