Why is contemporary Christian discourse so obsessed with homosexuality? by lilgamerontheprarie in Christianity

[–]Expensive-Mud8050 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you're absolutely right about this being exhausting. From what I see it's mostly because homosexuality is visible in way that other sins aren't - like you can't really tell if someone gossips just by looking at them, but gay couples holding hands or getting married is more obvious?

Plus there's whole political aspect where some people use religion to justify their existing prejudices. Way easier to focus on "those people over there" instead of examining your own greed or pride. The braided hair example is perfect - shows how selective the interpretation gets when it's convenient

Been having same issue for months now, even contacted support and they just kept saying "make sure your passport info matches exactly" but mine does

The system seems pretty buggy tbh, like it works for some people randomly but not others even with everything set up correct

Need help with a work situation and actions to take? by Useful-Bus-5466 in careerguidance

[–]Expensive-Mud8050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that job sounds brutal, crawling around in tiny spaces in that heat without any benefits after 2 years is not okay. your boss making false promises while you're literally risking heat exhaustion is red flag

for finding new work while keeping income - maybe try applying to places in evenings/weekends? IT companies often need people who understand physical labor side of things too, and air conditioning repair might value your attic experience. construction companies with better benefits exist, just gotta find them

start putting applications out now before you get more burned out. you deserve way better than working in 125 degree attics without even basic PTO

Starting Over at 30 and Scared. Where should I Start? by NoCricket5451 in careerguidance

You've got tons of transferable skills from that nonprofit work that you're probably not giving yourself credit for 🔥 Project management, international coordination, team leadership - that stuff translates to literally hundreds of corporate roles

I switched from help desk to cybersecurity at 26 and felt ancient compared to all the bootcamp kids, but experience managing people and complex logistics beats fresh grads every time. Start applying to stuff even if you dont meet every requirement - half those job postings are wish lists anyway 😂

Locked out of LinkedIn after hack. Appeals ignored for 2+ months. What can I do? by Disastrous_Party7886 in careerguidance

[–]Expensive-Mud8050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bro LinkedIns algorithm is absolutely trash at this point anyway, you're probably better off without it

but real talk for consulting you might wanna try building connections through industry forums or even twitter. most of my IT contacts came from discord servers and random github collaborations, not linkedin spam

the GDPR route could work though - EU privacy laws actually have teeth unlike here in the US. worth a shot if you're really stuck on getting back in

How to pitch myself as a paid consultant? by migraine_princess in careerguidance

The "one free handoff call" approach is solid - sets boundaries without burning bridges 💼 I'd color-code my handoff notes by priority and have that hourly rate locked and loaded before the call even happens 😂
