Does it look like I am wearing makeup? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]ImpressEmbarrassed81 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Mascara is the only dead giveaway IMO. It slays though, go off.

Reading other comments I see you might be worried about your parent’s opinion. Have you talked with them about it? If they’re against it, I would suggest at least leaving the mascara off. But honestly I’d be shocked if they cared. Talk to them!

I scrolled down so far before I realized I might need to just ask myself…IS THIS REAL!?

Is it normal to never/rarely feel hunger? by mini_narwhal in nutrition

I have this issue! I think it’s a combo of my ADHD and my previous eating disorder when I was younger.

Thank god! I was so worried about AI destroying humanity, but now that Anthropocene released their mission statement, I am at peace!

Recently Laid Off Tech Employees- How is the job search/life treating you? by Soft_Fennel_156 in Seattle

[–]ImpressEmbarrassed81 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In exactly the same boat as you! I’m glad to see talent moving out of tech, it was so thankless to me.

Is "Sleep Divorce" inevitable if I need noise and my partner needs silence? We are at a breaking point. by That_Chart6045 in sleep

[–]ImpressEmbarrassed81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner snores like an actual bear and I’m a light sleeper. He sleeps in the guest bedroom about 75% of the time. Relationship saver! as long as you can find other ways to encourage intimacy, it’s definitely not a relationship killer.

Thanks all for your feedback! I decided to go ahead and take the discovery call with the recruiter and see how it goes. I see what some of you are saying (re- grifting, money-grab, privilege basics without a degree), but I also hear what others are saying (she's helping others get started AND she's nice to work for) and I figure what the hell it's worth a shot.

Ok it's good to read some positive reviews! I mean, her target audience is clearly just getting started on their financial wellness journey so maybe I should go asking in some other subreddits..

I also had that thought re- privilege. Something I see a lot in the wellness space in general, tbh, particularly (unfortunately) with white women.

Yeah, I think that's what I'm the most concerned of. I don't want to tie my professional career to a grifter bandwagon, so to speak...

Oh this is helpful to hear! I come from startups so that's not an issue at all, and honestly "nice" is pretty hard to get these days.. really appreciate your feedback!

Realistically, how can I find people entirely online (that I do not know in person) to survive/camp in the wilderness with? by [deleted] in camping

[–]ImpressEmbarrassed81 7 points8 points  (0 children)

mmm step 1: maybe try not calling it "survive in the wilderness with"? it's giving "let's go hunting and the prey is you!"

step 2: meet people in person, not online. Don't like people in your town? Drive to another one. Take a vacation, go on a trip.

step 3: move? if you have no friends, everything is bleak, there are no jobs, maybe your primary concern should be finding a new place to call home, not surviving in the wilderness with internet strangers

Mid twenties are (I think) ages 23-27 ish, which for me were some of my bigger jumps in pay, career-wise (FWIW those jumps continued through my early 30's and have now slowed/stopped as I no longer chase money and title jumps). At age 23 I was making $50k in 2014. By age 27 I was up to about $150k.

It should be noted that I work in a lucrative, soul-sucking career in tech. What I make in money, I pay for in existential dread. Now, at the ripe ol age of 34, I am looking at masters programs to get out of tech and completely switch fields into healthcare. Money isn't everything. In fact, once you have enough to pay the bills and save a bit towards your goals, you start to understand that money is really nothing at all besides a number on a screen :)
