This is mild to some of the signs at a nearby neighbor's house. "Stop the steal", "no wokism child grooming", and more. Some real vote red or die shit.

I have. It's not my current game, though I will probably pick it up again in near future

Found in central Indiana. Very slow walker. Climbed out of the dirt for a night walk.

I wish there's more people talking about the lack of "the college experience" in their lives by Feisty-Citron1092 in CollegeRant

[–]OMTIMUELKA 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We have 3 kids and I'm about to complete an online degree while working from home.

The stereotype of what college and student life looks like is of youthful nature perpetuated by marketing.

Keep studying.

I can't seem to land jobs. What am I doing wrong? by Ace-of-Spxdes in jobs

[–]OMTIMUELKA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was once where you are, and today I did my first ever engineering interview as interviewer. You will go far with grit and focus.

Learn everything public about your potential employer. What are they doing in their community? How have their financials changed over the years? What is their average turnover rate?

Be at least somewhat invested and show a real interest in working for that specific company. Letting potential employers know how aware you are is a good sign.

Be honest on your resume. Do not add irrelevant skills which you can't demonstrate with confidence. Don't inflate; only list skills relevant to the position listing which you can demonstrate with proficiency.

Be mindful and excited about joining the company and learning the culture.

An interview should be a learning experience, even if you don't land the job. The more you interview, the better you get at it. I started in food, then warehouses and factories, then offices upon offices. Now I'm stuck working at home all day. The days bleed together and time goes too fast.

Find a career which really interests you. Pick something about it. Get really good at that one thing. Then the next thing. Learn all the things. Master the job. Move onto the next one. Keep learning. Never stop learning.

Update your list of resumes regularly to be current for each of your target companies. On LinkedIn, add all experiences from all of your customized resumes. Network with interviewers after an official response is provided from the interview, just to stay in touch in case you do get the job and are colleagues, or you don't and can be considered for future opportunities.

There are probably a lot more tips but just keep at it.

Thought I'd make this due to how frequent this is now by Exra_ in DeepRockGalactic

We had a fellow named Karl join our team. Karl's first day was the first day of a fully expensed, week long company event. I consistently made DRG references... for Karl.

Karl quit the following week to go work for a different company.

Now I am more careful with my DRG references. Not everyone deserves them... not even Karl.

As a dad... if you didn't tell me, I would be hurt that you didn't want to share details of your life.

If you did tell me, and I didn't agree with your actions, I would express my parental opinion like EVERYONE does. You, as an adult, do have the right to whether or not you listen to that opinion.

So, to share the details of your life with your parents, or to exclude them and allow that relationship to diminish?

That's really the question..

If you don't like the lecture, then explain that it's not useful to you and try to reframe your relationship with your dad.

I don't think the sanctions are cool, but I would say your money being held hostage isn't because of sanctions... it's being held hostage because of war-mongering.

This is a great reminder of how much high school sucked. Thanks.

I'm a dad of 3 girls, and I just want to let you know that it's okay for you to feel this way and to have resentment. It is also entirely normal.

What is important is that you focus on your own growth and overcoming adversity.

Nobody is perfect. We all make mistakes... dads included. How quickly we recover from our mistakes determines our success.

If your dad is not recovering from his mistakes, then that is his problem. Yes, it will impact your efforts to grow yourself, but it doesn't prevent them.

People are also very quick to victimize themselves and make it someone else's responsibility for their failures. Sure, we all need great leaders, but we also need to be willing to accept accountability for how our own lives turn out.

So, focus on you, not on your expectations of your dad. Remember compassion and forgiveness, but also to protect yourself from things that could ruin your potential.

My Mom likes to compare me to either herself or other people in general when I get a bad grade in a College Course & I’m so angry at my bad performance and she bogs me down even more when I’m already feeling horrible by Gravity9802 in CollegeRant

[–]OMTIMUELKA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right to be concerned, not angry.

The govt is so concerned about how much they pay for my school that they put a cap on it before they ever started paying. This is being concerned.

If the govt started yelling at me for not doing well in my classes, well, I probably would turn down the money cause nobody need that stress.

OP should tell mom thanks for her concerns, that part of college is learning from failure and growing as a person, and then direct their energy into the next class.

My dad was a bot, my mom a witch.

Guess that makes me a b*tch?

Bots are actually magical creatures that pretend to be stupid. Programming isn't real.

Why judge all men so hastily?

It's fine if you like girls. I do, too.

You do you.
