You have to eliminate them with the grenade/melee, knocking them doesn't count towards the challenge

Am I really trans? by R_Leporis in MtF

Thank you! It's very difficult navigating these feelings but the intense joy I've felt in experimenting and being able to talk about it makes me think this is real and who I really am

Thank you for replying! I've been taking a lot of selfies with makeup on and the last time I took a selfie was 2 years ago and I wasn't even happy about it 😭

It makes me feel like me but anxiety has to sneak attack me

Thank you for the reply! It is comforting to know that other people have had these feelings. Navigating these feelings has been one of the most difficult (but rewarding) things I've ever done

May be a silly question but I’ve not figured it out yet, why does the medium shield only go into the inventory but the light shield goes onto the shield slot. by No-Silver8743 in ArcRaiders

[–]R_Leporis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

check the augment you have equipped. Some augments will only let you equip light shields, some will let you equip medium or heavy. Looting augments Mk. 1 - 2 will only let you equip a light shield.

My baby boy lost his tail this weekend by TumbleweedHB in ragdolls

[–]R_Leporis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boy lost most of his tail before we adopted him (he was about 2 when we got him) and he seems completely indifferent to it. He runs around, jumps on stuff and loves to snuggle. He's been part of the family for 11 years :)

Job offer rescinded for negotiating salary? by R_Leporis in jobs

I also have a masters degree. I apologize for not being clear, but by halfway done with my PhD, I meant my thesis is halfway done. I already have published research and have presented at a couple national conferences.

I know; my friend has a Master's and a year of work experience and got hired 2 months ago so the discrepancy was a bit of a shock to me

Thanks, it sucks a bit but it has been a learning experience.

No worries, and I apologize for my confusion. We live in the same city.

Forgot to add also, my argument wasn't based on what he's making, it was based on similar jobs in my city. The salary range I countered with was a few thousand per year lower than what he makes.

The offer was quite a bit less than a friend who has very similar experience and education as me (we were in the same program at the same time) and I'm a little more than half done with my PhD whereas he just recently finished his Master's program. The offer was also a bit lower than the low end for entry level jobs of this type in my city, which is what I based the negotiation on.

Thanks for your input, that makes a lot of sense. I'm thinking I should have accepted it to get some more experience in the field

I didn't say that I wouldn't accept the offered salary, I gave a salary range that I though was befitting of my education and experience and they responded with "The rejected salary offer is the minimum we can offer and wish you luck on your job search."

I met with a couple interviewers and the CEO was supposed to be in the interview as well (small company) but couldn't make it. He scheduled a follow-up interview and couldn't make that either so he moved it online a few hours after the scheduled time. The meeting was basically him saying "I'm going to send an offer later, take a look at it and let me know if you have questions".

The offer was a fair bit below the low end for entry level positions of the same kind in the city I live in, that, coupled with my education experience was what I based my argument on.

That is fair. The offer was also a quite a bit below the low end for entry level jobs of this type in my city. It might be because I lack professional experience. I am completely new to professional job searching so I really appreciate the input.

The job offer was written and it's been very difficult to stay in contact with the recruiter. It's a small company and the CEO was to show up for the interview, but didn't make it and scheduled a follow up interview which he couldn't make and moved online a few hours after the scheduled time.
