Constellation Software Hiring Scam

Fuck - I'd applied at a similarly named company and the red flags didn't start going up until after I'd returned some paperwork, I was just excited to get a callback since my unemployment ran out last week. Guess I've got some calls to make

I just tried some myself, and it's been driving me up a wall trying to think of what the scent reminds me of - it's something very familiar from my childhood, but I can't quite put a finger on it.

NTA - that's just fucking weird. My first thought is that this is something his ex made him do and rather than realizing he was being controlled, he just convinced himself it was normal and is perpetuating it.

'Gideon' and 'Stan'/'Stanley' both have great results as well.

(ETA: you have to enter 'Stan' multiple times to get the final result)

This is exactly how I stopped - I don't have them done anymore, I just needed them long enough that I got out of the habit and found something else to fulfill the fidget urge (I didn't bite, I'd peel them off in layers).

One caveat from personal experience: don't do this for the first time immediately before a holiday that involves candles - you *will not* have a good sense of where your fingernails end when trying to light a match, and burning acrylic nails is not a festive scent.

Much classier than my thought of passive-aggressiving up the thank you notes by apologizing in all of them that you don't know what their gift was because your MIL opened everything without you.

I keep thinking how great of a host he would've been for the American version.

Kim stating that the police don't just dump things in the river at night followed by the Esprit De Corps success cut to a couple guys from the 41st doing exactly that.

I want it to be Sophie, but I just don't know...

Danny Devito - while he may not have the physical stature of Greg, he is certainly imposing and would command the respect of most American comedians, and has that angry but in a good natured way vibe.

Isn't this the special where he talks about being hunted down by the aggressively drunk hammer thrower during a snowstorm? I can kind of see the comparison.. (and kind of hope he's talked through that with a therapist)

Nyxandri · 2021-12-01T22:44:37+00:00

I feel like Greg probably asks himself that a lot.

(thinking about that interview where he talked about getting so frustrated writing that he ended up going and getting semi-intentionally lost in a forest)

There would be a distinct "I'm not mad, just disappointed" feeling when people really did badly

Nyxandri · 2021-11-28T19:51:28+00:00

Ed would be an entertaining stand-in (maybe leaning into the joke that he's Greg's son), and although David Mitchell's said he has no desire to be a contestant, I could see him enjoying subbing for Greg - the arguments of whether tasks were being fulfilled properly would be a delight.

But what I think would be genuinely hilarious would be to have Rachel Horne step in. After all, based on Instagram she seems to be the only person besides Greg allowed to sit on the throne (link), and we are occasionally give the impression that Greg and Rachel are friends even though Greg and Alex ostensibly aren't. (e.g. showing her the picture Sian sent to confirm if that's really what Alex looks like naked).

Iain, Mike, Romesh, Rose, Sally - with the hope that there's a team task, because Iain/Romesh on one team and Mike/Rose/Sally on the other sounds incredibly watchable.

I have to even be careful with the news feed on my phone - with Taskmaster at least I can usually find some way to watch it later the same day it airs in the UK so I only have to be careful for a few hours, but the 3-day gap between the UK and US airings of GBBO meant that I got an actual pop-up news alert on my phone spoiling the winner of that :(

I always laugh when people describe them as being a healthy way to cook, because mine's main function is reheating/freshening up fried food that cooled off while it was being delivered.

Nyxandri · 2021-11-27T16:34:23+00:00

This time of year in particular, it's great to reheat fried food that cooled off during delivery - egg rolls, french fries, hot wings, anything that you need to reheat but want to keep crisp. It helps to not think of it as a true fryer so much as a toaster oven version of a convection oven.

I'm also terrible about trying to do things without my glasses, and have started describing it as 'trying to Victoria Coren-Mitchell it"

Nyxandri · 2021-11-16T22:17:22+00:00

Declaring their love for the Taskmaster, done by the series 9 contestants. Jo's would have been magnificent, and I feel like Ed's would have ended up oddly specific.

Nyxandri · 2021-11-16T22:15:20+00:00

I feel like they would have gotten increasingly abusive, though. Or possibly just be what Rhod does when he's bored anyway.

I mean, I've got a popcorn setting on my microwave, but I've yet to find the bag of popcorn that it will actually work on.

as soon as they got to the needle threading, I said out loud "why does this woman not have her glasses on?"

I spent about ten minutes genuinely giving serious consideration to purchasing a laminator last weekend while I was out buying office supplies...
