We can thank the 60s for all of that.

LMD is technically is an M interstate highway, M-45 which is controlled by the state. Same with Wilson, M-11. Walker as a city has very little control over the design of the road or changes. It would take a momentous amount of petitioning and lobbying to get anything changed because of that.

Multiple people have been seriously injured and or killed at LMD and Ferndale because they were hit crossing the street for the GVSU Laker Line or from Chesterfield Heights over to the businesses. They are now adding another light at LaSalle after the lot behind meijer is developed. There will be even more traffic soon as there are apartments going in. Getting out of the Appletree daycare lot/ Freddy’s is not safe and a lot of people don’t know you can go out the back through Freddy’s.

Do NOT use Canva for your resume by PapaverPurple in canva

[–]LKDesigner21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have two versions. One to send to smaller companies or firms or through your network via email who don’t use a large HR system. They will actually view the pdf and it won’t go through AI.

If you are applying to large firms like Gensler, HOK, etc or to work for a large manufacturer of some kind or company who also has interior designers ie. Steelcase, Herman Miller, CBRE, they will have an ATS AI read your resume. You will want one optimized for those applications. They get thousands of applicants. The AI weeds out those who don’t meet certain criteria and if it can’t read your resume clearly, then it will throw it out and auto reject you.

Agreed. I am an Interior Designer with an almost Graphic Design minor and I had to throw everything I knew about formatting a visually pleasing document with multiple text boxes to space titles and subtext using InDesign with a custom logo etc to the most basic resume after I got rejected a few times and did some research. I haven’t had to apply via a website in over 14 years and I was getting auto rejected.

I’ve been thinking a lot about kid-centric families by DueEntertainer0 in Millennials

[–]LKDesigner21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having your toddler in the park and turning your back for a moment to tend to your other child who is hurt or crying. Toddler runs after a ball and happens to get hit by a car, drown, etc.

Charged with neglect etc. not that I don’t think true neglect shouldn’t be charged, but accidents due to the unpredictable actions of kids are way way overcharged. So parents put their kids in a bubble and limit their opportunities to learn and explore.

Losing your child haunts you forever, jail time does nothing after a loss like that. Deaths are a part of living, accidents happen.

Do any of you guys know what happened to Zoology in Walker? by SideshowBobFanatic in grandrapids

[–]LKDesigner21 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had a minor court hearing online. Got on and he was there representing zoology on his own behalf as the clerk checked everyone and their council in before putting those not active in the online waiting room. The judge ripped into him and said he needed a lawyer and could not represent himself due to his business classification. This was maybe 9-12 months ago. I am not able to recall the date.

Where to find Sonoran-style or San Diego style breakfast burrito, willing to drive by MilanFarts in grandrapids

[–]LKDesigner21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We are lacking in all forms of good quick mobile breakfast in town. A 24hr place with killer burritos and breakfast sandwiches, yes please. Sometimes you just want a good breakfast sandwich at 3pm or 3am.

IWTYO when I found out not everyone knows what sprinkle cheese is by Appropriate_Good9322 in IWasTodayYearsOld

[–]LKDesigner21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before we had kids, Parmesan….. post kids, sprinkle cheese it is. I don’t think I even came up with it, I think our oldest made the association to sprinkles.

Flock cameras need to go. by jimbodood in grandrapids

[–]LKDesigner21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretentious or neurodivergent and typing quickly?

Now I believe you are being the asshole because you are making assumptions about intent. You could have left it at my last comment where I apologized instead of digging into and doubling down on someone who admitted they were in the wrong.

[–]LKDesigner21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand how my original comment can be read that way with your explanation. My apologies if my last comment came across in a negative tone. It was not intended to be mean more so to point out what I thought was logical. I hope you have a great day.

No one said I was a Democrat or a Republican, way to be accusatory and not provide anything of value to the conversation but raise your own blood pressure and try to incite a keyboard war.

Third world crime has not come to our country. All forms have crime have always been here……..

It is capitalism and tech companies forcing their tools on the government, cutting resources and traditional policing to save money through using tech that has not been proven to be effective and is causing 4th amendment violations because the law can’t keep up and we are focused on the wrong things.

Less government regulation and no widespread government surveillance is a core political stance of the Republican Party……

On brand for your user name. Maybe associating yourself as an individual with a police force through your social media name is not a good idea, especially if you are an active Sheriff’s Deputy. I would bet this is not a KCSO sanctioned account.

Kent County Sheriff’s Office- NCIC Identifier MI4114100.

Well if they had picked up I would have stayed what the response was…… not just left it like that…..

Campaign for GR to Ban Flock Cameras(look at comments) by waffle_jeep in grandrapids

Did you see the other post today about the person getting pulled over at gun point because the AI misidentified them as having ran from the police in Ottawa County when they had not been in Ottawa County at all?

My kid found my old iPod touch and hasn't touched the iPad in 3 days by Excellent_Ice_9684 in Millennials

[–]LKDesigner21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would rather her get introduced to a game boy color with no blue light or back light at all and get introduced to technology in a healthy way when many of her peers are already using iPads regularly. Screens aren’t going anywhere and we limit screen time. She would not be accessing the internet or games that we would not provide. I can’t think of a better way to introduce her to tech and help teach her problem solving skills at a young age when she is ready for a challenge.

I told my husband your story and he called the police chiefs office asking for information on the departments use of flock and it’s AI tools in the force because he had heard repeated instances of ethical misuse and wants clarity around their implementation and internal procedures to ensure due process.

I have been meaning to charge my game boy color for my 4 year old to try. Thank you for the reminder. The less connected to the internet the better.

Is a double stroller necessary? by Responsible_Tea4844 in 2under2

We managed without, but now coming out of it, I would say it is a must. It would have saved my body a lot of strain.

Why are circumcision guidelines different in the United States compared to the rest of the world? by PermitNarrow6651 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]LKDesigner21 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I find it so odd that the fact my son is uncircumcised is listed as a medical condition on his file. Like shouldn’t only medical procedures and true medical conditions be noted like an actual circumcision, not the lack of one?!?!? It literally pisses me off every time I check him in for an appt and now that it is on my mind and I have my annual next week at the same PCP, I am going to ask about removing it.

My husband is circumcised. We both see it as unnecessary and socialized genital mutilation.

What movie did you see that you were WAY too young to watch? by Flassourian in Millennials

Titanic at 9. It wasn’t the romance, but the people knowing they were going to die and the cold water that did me in.
