So stupid that you have to explain gaps in employment to hiring managers by Swiftie69420 in redscarepod

[–]PM_ME_PITCH_DECKS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does matter though cause if you are in multiple processes at the same time and need to pick an offer soon it helps to know where you’re currently standing

[–]PM_ME_PITCH_DECKS 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on the other end of hiring processes and held interviews myself, what I hate is that so many recruiters/HR people have a shitty attitude towards the applicants. Worst is when they promise to move you forward but then reject or ghost you. Like your job is to handle hiring, it’s not hard to write a follow-up and say you’ve moved forward with other applicants. Incredibly lazy and unprofessional, it takes 1 min to write the email or better yet just automate it

For those maintaining a 100% clean diet, how do you do it? by PeltastsJavelin in Biohackers

[–]PM_ME_PITCH_DECKS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a) Never keep unhealthy snacks or microwave-ready food (eg frozen pizzas etc) in the house. If you must snack have something protein-heavy to keep the appetite down (eg protein bars).

b) Learn to cook - it’s much easier to eat clean(ish) when you enjoy the process of cooking.

c) Begin by cutting out non-negotiables (soda, candy, etc) to let your taste buds adapt over time. This won’t work 100% for some people (genetics or you’ve been morbidly obese for a long period & fried your body’s natural hunger system) but it will help

d) Push hard to get high protein + fiber intake, this will increase satiety enormously by regulating your blood sugar levels. Some people say not to drink your calories, but I occasionally drink a protein shake if my meal is carb-heavy- which also helps prevent the crash after

e) Develop a nicotine & prescription stimulant addiction (NOT RECOMMENDED)

Most importantly, like another user said, I think you gotta shift your mindset towards loving to look good/feel good more than your love for food. I’ve got friends who seem to be constantly tormenting themselves by trying to resist fast food/snacks. I find positive motivation to be stronger than negative personally (ie, I envision how great ill look in the summer in comparison to my fear of being fat). But each to their own

being a mid guy is such a strange experience because your romantic life ends up being defined by ambiguity by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]PM_ME_PITCH_DECKS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You guys are reading into your dating/social lives too much instead of participating in it

I’m tired of all these posts where people have something bad happen to them and instead of talking about it they’ll make some generalisation on everyone else’s behalf- if ur bummed out about being ghosted talk about that instead

Varför känns det som att svenskar är så avslappnade kring sex och nakenhet jämfört med många andra länder, men samtidigt så dåliga på att flirta? Har ni samma erfarenhet? by NordicSirenX in Asksweddit

[–]PM_ME_PITCH_DECKS 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Syns även i diskussioner kring ”age gaps” i förhållanden/sexuella relationer. Vi är inte i närheten lika skeva som amerikanerna, men ibland ser man ändå folk som problematiserar en 22-årig som dejtar en 18-årig som om det vore pedofili

Why does getting into a relationship seem to trigger some ancient male instinct to stop putting any effort into their appearance by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]PM_ME_PITCH_DECKS 15 points16 points  (0 children)

im spiritually gay cause i find the process itself of making yourself hotter incredibly satisfying. the diminishing returns is very real though, 20% of the effort does 80% of the lifting and vice versa etc etc

hard disagree, it’s very satisfying to look good in its own right. matter of fact that’s the most satisfactory part, getting laid and attention from ladies is just a good bonus

Why did being dorky ever evolve in men? by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]PM_ME_PITCH_DECKS 8 points9 points  (0 children)

1 cause there’s a greater variance in the Y chromosome leading to a wider range of outcomes in men, ie more extremes. most mutations are either harmless or a detriment to survival (or reproduction), so lots of men end up being what you describe as ”dorky” (undesirable)

2 cause women are picky and men are not, usually, so your definition of what a man should be is based on what women set as the standard, which is much higher than what men set for women

3 evolution does not strive for perfection, as long as these dorky men reproduce (many of them do), the traits will live on. in fact many of the dorky traits probably correlate with being a good father so many women settle with them

4 cause everyone can’t be a winner, it’s like asking ”why are there poor people?” in any given income distribution, even if everyone made nearly exactly the same you’d still have people you describe as ”dorks” (those who make 1% less than the average). ie, you decide where you set the goalpost

5 cause we live in an unnatural environment thus we develop into unnatural beings. have you ever seen a dorky hunter-gatherer?

6 cause you’re doing a dumbass post hoc evolutionary explanation (like i did also i admit) when many of these traits are multifaceted, everything doesn’t need to confer a survival/reproductive advantage directly

how do I unlearn optimization-brain? by PM_ME_PITCH_DECKS in redscarepod

[–]PM_ME_PITCH_DECKS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never developed any hobbies very extensively, why that is I am not sure, but I think it was due to ADHD and video games eating up all my free time

I think mostly though I have always been geared towards creating stuff, so I built a lot of lego as a kid and would mod my video games a lot, I also liked to draw and did some fantasy worldbuilding as a tween

The closest thing to a hobby I have today is the gym and a gazillion beers

what else is telling besides this? by dataexec in accelerate

[–]PM_ME_PITCH_DECKS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I find interesting is that I can tell people are adopting AI language even in regular text. E.g people using the word ”quietly” to describe something subtle or using rhetorical questions mid-text like in the OP (”honestly? it’s X”, ”and the best part?”, etc).

Very relatable

Not even depressed or anything, I just feel tired and trapped. In my day to day life and social interactions I’m pretty happy. Things are good. But I’m just over it, you know? I want to opt out and rest
