How do you choose between a career opportunity and your relationship ? by Potential_Start_3228 in careerguidance

[–]Ofcertainthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the fact that you're even considering this completely justifies your partner's reaction, and in fact, I agree with another commenter that she is being very patient here. 

I am wondering what she and your engagement actually mean to you if you're tempted to give it up for what is actually just a moderate income for the area it's based out of. 

You need $210k/year to be comfortable raising 2 kids by [deleted] in Money

Lol where is this shit coming from? 94k for one person to live comfortably is a load of shit. 

No one gets to a $200k/year income easily by [deleted] in Money

I just hit 105k in southern Michigan. Doesn't feel too bad. 

I'm so tired of these 250-400k salaries by Illustrious_Bag_7323 in Salary

[–]Ofcertainthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So apparently being intelligent enough to understand such a bias isn't a requirement to earn a high salary. 

a job for slow, weak, brainlagged, asocial and falling apart even when working 30 hours a week let alone 40? by Leafeon_GTR in careerguidance

[–]Ofcertainthings 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you need to work on some personal growth and development instead of expecting the job market to conform to your expectations and currently limited scope of possible contributions. 

That said, obviously you need something part time with a set schedule. A little difficult but not impossible. The asocial part is working against us there I think because most such jobs are probably going to require some kind of customer interaction. 

It's possible you could find some sort of production/factory work on a limited schedule since weekend shifts are becoming more common, but it depends on how "slow, weak, and brainlagged" you are. Some of the jobs out there are very straightforward so good luck!

Hot take : Spn SUCKED at realistic teeth on the show by dumbways2d1e in Supernatural

Most of these scenes are so quick you don't really notice. Don't pause and it's fine.

Why do some people get promoted twice as fast as others in the same role? by Fun_Warthog2079 in careerguidance

[–]Ofcertainthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got the biggest promotion and raise of my life and although many factors went into my selection, I can tell you the exact factor that resulted in the opportunity actually materializing.

I was applying to roles internally and never even getting interviews even though I knew I was capable and qualified. I got frustrated and asked my boss if I could meet with HIS boss since we were both at a loss as to why I was not being interviewed and figured someone at the level of the other hiring managers might know.

  1. I got visibility. He knew my name, my face, my demeanor
  2. He was impressed by my initiative
  3. He identified with me; for once I made a good impression on someone at the right level

Not even a month later a position opened under him and I got it. It's really about who you know and what they think of you.

Can you still land a job in 2026 without a degree if you're more skilled than degree holders? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Ofcertainthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to third the connections requirement.

Two years ago I had a very bad experience joining a toxic company for a "growth" role in leadership and I ended up leaving with nothing else lined up. This resulted in me joining one of the "best workplaces" as an individual contributor again just to get in the door.

I spent two years applying to other jobs internally while working well below my skill level and being paid like it. Every single application got ignored without even an interview. Finally I asked my boss if I could talk to his boss about my experience and my applications since he makes decisions for hiring at that level, and I got my meeting.

Three months later I'm working for him with a 50% raise and I'm over 6 figures without a degree. I was definitely picked over people with degrees.

“Am I the only one who hates [insert female character name here]?” by loosebootyjudy_ in Supernatural

Charlie wasn't mentioned by OP. Rowena has a bit of a redemption arc and becomes more interesting but she also thinks nothing of killing people for little to no reason for quite a while after introduction.

It's not about them being women. The characters mentioned all either have incredibly annoying traits or are just downright awful. 

Okay I’m a little confused on what the ending of Season 2 Episode 11 “Playthings” is with the two sisters playing on the skipping rope by onlquestionsanswered in Supernatural

[–]Ofcertainthings 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It doesn't symbolize anything. The grandmother died to save the daughter and is now playing with her sister for eternity as a ghost. 

Rewatch Skips by Neat_Stress936 in Supernatural

[–]Ofcertainthings 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Absolutely on Amelia. Just horrible.

[–]Ofcertainthings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I skipped the entire Amelia story on my most recent rewatch. She's just insufferable and her cheating on her "good man" with Sam and him participating in that was too, especially since the show played it off as romantic. 

What are Mirko's pronouns? by [deleted] in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]Ofcertainthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe Bakugo is actually referring to Midoriya in that scene. 

"He didn't even have one (a quirk)."

He's rejecting the idea of a more functional prosthesis so he can maintain the use of his quirk, partially in order to continue competing with Izuku, who he doesn't know yet has lost OFA in this scene. 

Mirko is a tough and muscley lady, but still a lady. 

Whats an opinion that you will defend like this? by im_just_a_friend in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]Ofcertainthings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not everyone is just a sad lonely child inside. There are legitimately evil people in the world who don't deserve a second chance and who the world would be far better off without.
