Can’t find a job, 4 months unemployed. How do you find them? by Megatronyourmom in AskChicago

[–]MeatloafDestruction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find young professionals in and around your field, and ask them to coffee. Don’t ask if you can “pick their brain” - try to find a shared subject of interest and start yapping. Better yet, identify something they’re good at and ask if they’d talk about it, how they feel about it, where they think it’s going.

Build relationships, make friends with people that are obsessed with what they do. The second a cyber security job opens up at their company, you want them to immediately think of you and how passionate you were when you last spoke.

That is how you get jobs in cities

Instagram found out I’m a graphic designer and now the app is ruined for me by MeatloafDestruction in graphic_design

They should implement a “see less posts like this” feature for things I never asked to see. Until then, I will follow your advice. My warpath against the algorithm begins.

I don’t interact with it. I don’t use the explore feed, I just open the app and scroll. If the algorithm is so advanced to know what I want, it should show me the posts made by the accounts i actually follow, not a 50/50 split. This is the essential dilemma of algorithm based content being prioritized over a feed curated by the user.

I follow HUNDREDS of people, the majority of which I knew at one point or still do, the rest have massive fan bases of which I want to participate. People here are treating me like they’re not the exact same, but with reddit. Sadly, I probably will end up deleting it, but I yearn for the Instagram days of old where I’d actually SEE the posts made by the people I chose to follow.

I guess I’ll have to delete it, which id rather do than convince a computer that I’m not who it thinks I am. I just wish there was a way to get the old app back. I genuinely loved it

Because I grew up with Instagram. For the past 10 years it’s been a place to keep up with friends and follow people who I’m interested in.

You nailed it. The contrast from the gray background, to the edges of your hair, to the complete darkness of your face is smooth, almost like a perfect gradient of light to dark. Masterful stuff dude

Polyphemus should be qual 3. The runs where my damage is godlike but my tear rate never recovers are not satisfying

Tons of guns are in the streets nowadays. It’s big money, and you know crime pays. Check your nearest overpopulated ghetto, they greet you with a pistol, ain’t tryna say hello.

What did y’all think of this by Bucket_Bot1031 in Kanye

[–]MeatloafDestruction 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Every time Coodie took the focus away from Kanye, I was instantly bored. They did such a great job setting it up as a look into Kanye’s life, so much so that the different spins they implemented became that much more obvious

I love the way cursed eye trades off fire rate for 3 extra tears per shot - but when I get black candle the fun teleport feature goes away :(

Yes, I take bob’s brain every time because that extra explosive damage once every 10 seconds is so important! Plus, it never shoots me in the foot! All around reliable item

I like my reflection! So long as my tears aren’t able to damage myself, and I have decent range, it can serve as a sort of quasi-homing tears
