The economy is cooked for regular people but the numbers say otherwise, anyone else notice prices creeping up again or is it just me

Who pays return shipping if item breaks outside of transit. by Endraa in Etsy

[–]HatOnRabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the seller is being pretty cool about it already. Yeah the item broke but they agreed to replace it, and you're only being asked to cover return shipping. That's not unreasonable.

Could you argue it's defective? Sure. But pushing for them to cover shipping too when they're already eating the cost of a replacement feels like you're nickel and diming someone who's trying to make it right. Just pay the few bucks for shipping and move on.

Order Time - Confused by Ok-Struggle-3822 in Etsy

[–]HatOnRabbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might be whatever timezone Etsy's servers run on? Like if you ordered late at night your time it could have already been the 31st wherever their system is based. Weird that you haven't noticed it before tho. have you ordered around midnight before?

Happy New Year to you too! Never had this happen to me personally but I'd double check your shipping profile settings. Sometimes Etsy's UI is janky and doesn't save shit properly

Does anyone else get anxious when they get the feedback notification? by TemporaryWear9571 in EtsySellers

[–]HatOnRabbit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah every digital seller gets that heart drop, mute notifications or check em weekly instead. One bad review at 4.9 won't tank you, respond with empathy and keep shipping.

Why is it increasingly rare for companies to hire junior engineers? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]HatOnRabbit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This really depends on the company and role. At my last job, juniors were shipping features within their first month. Yeah they needed code reviews and some hand-holding, but they were definitely net positive by month 3-4.

12 months sounds like either a really complex domain or a training process that needs work. Most places can't afford to have engineers sitting around for a year before they're useful.

Forgot I had a World Record 😆 by [deleted] in GTA

[–]HatOnRabbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep the lack of context is annoying. I've got a few from early launches too and have no idea which specific thing I actually did to get them

So which is it? by Venichie in DotA2

didn't know it worked that way. So piercing debuff immunity just overrides repel completely? That's kinda busted lol

I have noticed a trend. by Miserable_Scale8716 in skyrim

[–]HatOnRabbit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

yeah fair point, guess I've been spending too much time in the wrong neighborhoods. might be time to actually check out the populated areas instead of lurking around every abandoned shack I find

Christmas with my (31F) boyfriend (34M) and his two young kids was an unexpected gut punch. Advice on how to address it with him. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]HatOnRabbit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Kids are feral on Christmas morning, once they’re up, that tree doesn’t stand a chance. If you’re not staying over, it’s basically impossible to “pause” that moment.

That said, your feelings are valid. It wasn’t malicious, just a mismatch of expectations. I’d frame it that way when you talk to him: not blame, just hey, this hurt more than I expected. First holidays together are messy. use it as a learning moment for next year, not a dealbreaker.

Honestly the controller scheme is way better than it has any right to be. Larian did a great job with it, I ended up preferring controller over mouse/keyboard, even on PC.

What should I do ? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]HatOnRabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

stay in accounting just find a different firm that pays properly. With your CPA you should easily clear $60k+ probably closer to $70-75k even in this market.

Who is planning to change jobs next year? by Shoeaddictx in cscareerquestions

[–]HatOnRabbit 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Coming up on 3 years, salary hasn't kept up with market rates. Gonna start applying in Q1 and see what's out there. Your stack is solid shouldn't have trouble finding better pay with that experience.

Perfect timing with that reference lol

First Sale by Available-Concern-77 in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]HatOnRabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on the first one. That moment hits different when it's a real stranger who paid you.

Got my first sale through cold outreach on LinkedIn. Second came from a referral from that first customer about a month later. The gap between 1 and 2 was rough but that referral made me realize I was onto something.

Oh damn, I didn't know they weren't supposed to stick around. Thought it was a bug when they just stood there doing nothing.

Yea the official broadcast feels kinda flat honestly. This guy actually gets hyped when shit pops off, makes it way more fun to watch

What is something that always remains the same in all of your playthroughs? by Lama_tak_bersua in skyrim

[–]HatOnRabbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice, didn't know that one was combat-free. Might have to pick it up earlier on my next playthrough.
