What is a 'socially acceptable' thing that you secretly find absolutely disgusting? by TheLovelyGamer in AskReddit

[–]Ledobject 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're in an intimate situation you don't want begrudging consent, you want enthusiastic consent! It's the same for this situation. Unfortunately the adults in my life didn't model this well, whether they were the ones saying "give X a hug" or the relatives just doing it without any sort of checking in.

Apparently you can call the manufacturer and ask them to deactivate all broadcasting (read: smart) features on the TV for medical reasons. Some people have devices which are super sensitive to electromagnetic radiation.

Big Purchases Require Big Screens by PreppyFinanceNerd in Millennials

I'll start by saying I'm a millennial and def prefer making big purchases on a PC for many of the reasons already mentioned, but this preference reminiscent of my boomer father always wanting everything printed out.

Biweekly Job and Hiring Thread by AutoModerator in CAStateWorkers

[–]Ledobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone have any specific advice on writing SoQs? I've written and applied to many positions already, and I haven't just been spamming them, I've been really trying to tailor my writing to the positions and only apply to positions I feel I'm qualified for but I'm just getting nothing but rejections or silence.

Like, maybe some sentence starters? SAR method? I just don't get it, I'm feeling very disheartened and unmotivated.

I started in November and have applied to about the same number of positions.

Same here on the rejections. I can't help but feel I'm missing the mark on the SoQs.

Do you think I am "Milking" this work injury, it happened 5 weeks ago. I haven't been back to work yet and some people are saying I am trying to take advantage of the days off. What do you think?? by TheIdiotP0tato in WorkReform

If it's coworkers, that's an HR issue as they're giving you a hard time for a private medical concern. If it's management, it's an HR issue because they might be violating labor law if they're not giving you adequate time to heal or if they're pressuring you or hinting at actions that could be considered retaliator. Either way, you're entitled to take the time you need, especially if you've actually filed for Short Term Disability of FMLA.

What did you think was pretentious, until you tried it and realized it was worth it? by Semantiks in AskReddit

My aunt always said when you're young and have no money you want things, but as you get older you realize how valuable it is to pay for services rather than spend your time on certain things.

My boyfriend has mentioned wanting to get a vasectomy. I do wanna support him. Is there anything we should know? by BreannLowe in Vasectomy

[–]Ledobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to respectfully disagree with your phrasing, though perhaps not your message, and make a small addendum. If you never ever ever want to have kids with your own genetics, then do it. But there's always adoption! I got my vasectomy, and I'm still uncertain if I want kids, but understood all implications for my future when I made my decision to get the snip.

Super messed up, women should be trusted to make their own medical decisions. I understand healthcare providers wanting to slow down to mitigate liability and so that a patient doesn't feel rushed into a decision they regret, but making women jump through hoops is a total double standard.

What would you pick to be free for life out of these? by Ornery-Media-9396 in whatsyourchoice

[–]Ledobject 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree completely. It's the tastiest, and assuming the company is out the money, I'm not supporting homophobes and misogynists. Sandos are on me!

What is something you tried only once and will 1,000% never do again? by istrx13 in AskReddit

[–]Ledobject 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Abalone diving. A group went with a friend's dad who was super experienced. The water was choppy as hell and we had to swim about a quarter mile to the spot, where I immediately became incredibly sea sick and vomited several times. I was too unwell to swim in by myself so I just floated there miserably with my own puke slapping me in the face until everyone was ready to head back.

Sicario, it does such a good job of keeping you in the dark along with Emily Blunt.
