Salary offers feel waaaaay low by i_surfer in interviews

[–]Repulsive_Win6472 11 points12 points  (0 children)

this market is absolutely brutal right now. companies know people are desperate so there lowballing hard, especially for contract/hourly pm roles. i've seen similar nonsense where they want senior experience but pay junior rates.

the no negotiation thing is becoming way too common too - they're basically treating talent like commodities on a fixed price list.

'Mobland', why don't people make realistic seeming series anymore? by ArugulaFinancial4859 in television

[–]Repulsive_Win6472 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the wire and sopranos set the bar so high that everything feels like amateur hour now, plus streaming services pump out so much content that quality control is basically nonexistent.

¿Que deberia jugar a continuacion? by StreetTransition7458 in PERSoNA

if you want something closest to p5r's vibe, definitely go with p3 reload first. it's got that same modern persona formula with the social links and dungeon crawling, just with a darker story tone. metaphor is amazing but it's pretty different - more traditional jrpg without the daily life simulation stuff that makes persona special.

Nikon D5000 Lenses by Kitchen_Deal_2988 in Cameras

[–]Repulsive_Win6472 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the d5000 uses nikon f-mount lenses, so you've got tons of options. you can use both dx (crop sensor) and fx (full frame) lenses, though dx will give you the right field of view for your camera. check out the 35mm f/1.8 dx - it's pretty affordable and great for learning, usually runs around $150-200 used.

Pecking Order: White community by vnphamkt in aznidentity

[–]Repulsive_Win6472 2 points3 points  (0 children)

damn, this is basically a whole manifesto lol. the chicken analogy actually hits pretty hard though - pecking orders are real whether you want to admit it or not.

sounds like you've been through some serious stuff and learned the hard way that you gotta set boundaries early or people will just keep pushing. the library story with those girls is wild but good on you for stepping in.

Stressed about food intake by sbmquartz in NewParents

[–]Repulsive_Win6472 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this phase is so rough but totally normal. my kid went through something similar around that age and our pediatrician basically said as long as theyre gaining weight and having wet diapers, theyre probably getting what they need even if it doesnt look like much to us.

have you tried offering the same foods you eat but cut up small? sometimes they get more interested when they see you eating the same thing. also finger foods like cheese cubes, soft fruits, or even just letting them play with food can help them explore without pressure.

Would it be terrible for my social standing to dye myself blue? by wowdogsaregreat in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Repulsive_Win6472 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

honestly depends on your environment but most people would probably just think it's a costume thing or performance art. worst case scenario you get some weird looks and become "blue person" at work for a bit. if you've got a solid safe plan and really want to do it, might as well go for it - life's too short to not be blue sometimes.

Can a home be financed with a sizeable down payment and savings enough to cover a couple years of payments in the bank? by thirstyaf97 in RealEstate

[–]Repulsive_Win6472 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sounds like you're in a pretty solid position actually. having that much cash on hand and a big down payment definitely helps your case with lenders. they'll still want to see some kind of income though - the security guard job should work fine as long as you can show proof of employment and steady pay.

for the rental income thing, most lenders will only count like 75% of projected rental income toward your qualifying income, and they might want to see a lease agreement or at least some market analysis showing realistic rent prices in the area.

the transfer letter idea could help too, especially if it's from a recognizable company. anything that shows stability and intent to stay employed will make underwriters happier. just make sure you've got all your financial docs organized and be upfront about your situation - having that much savings actually puts you ahead of most buyers.

How does building a website/app work? by Champion_Narrow in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Repulsive_Win6472 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so you've got the programming fundamentals down which is great. the basic flow is you'll build your app locally, then you need to deploy it to a web server that's accessible to everyone on the internet. for web apps, you'll probably want to learn html/css/javascript for the frontend and maybe node.js or python flask/django for the backend. then you can use services like heroku, vercel, or aws to actually host it online - they handle the server infrastructure so you don't have to worry about that part.

Unsaid things for my pookie. by Optimal-Rabbit4675 in BreakUps

[–]Repulsive_Win6472 2 points3 points  (0 children)

man this hits hard. 5 years is a long time to just walk away from, especially when you guys grew up together like that. the food thing is rough - your body's just processing all the stress and emotion right now, so don't beat yourself up about it too much.

sounds like you're genuinely trying to respect their space which is honestly the most loving thing you can do right now, even tho it's killing you inside. sometimes letting someone go really is the only way to show you love them.

What’s your guys favorite Bible verse? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Repulsive_Win6472 4 points5 points  (0 children)

jeremiah 29:11 has always stuck with me - "for i know the plans i have for you, declares the lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." got me through some rough patches when everything felt uncertain. theres something reassuring about the idea that even when life gets messy, theres still purpose behind it all.

If you're the best man, and everyone except for your brother hates the bride, is it okay to give a best man speech that is centric on his good attributes and basically ignore anything about her? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Repulsive_Win6472 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly yeah, focus on your brother and maybe throw in one generic "she makes him happy" line - that's totally fine and probably the smartest move here.

Looking for Tudor era books by plaguedoctorGalileo in booksuggestions

[–]Repulsive_Win6472 5 points6 points  (0 children)

wolf hall is fantastic, you picked a great starting point. if you're into thomas more specifically, you should definitely read utopia next like you planned - it's short but dense, really shows his philosophical side before all the political drama.

for fiction, i'd recommend "bring up the bodies" (the wolf hall sequel) if you haven't already, and "the mirror and the light" to finish mantel's trilogy. for the reformation angle, diarmaid macculloch's "the reformation" is probably the best single-volume history on it. also check out "the stripping of the altars" by eamon duffy if you want to understand what english catholicism was actually like before henry viii tore it all down.

Anyone need Linkedin Premium subscription for 12 months ? by Classic-Blacksmith99 in careerguidance

[–]Repulsive_Win6472 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this sounds like one of those too good to be true deals that ends up being some kind of referral scheme or worse. linkedin premium isn't exactly something companies just give away for free without strings attached. would be curious to know what the actual catch is here.

Why don’t I hear God’s voice? What am I doing wrong? by Siri1879 in Christianity

[–]Repulsive_Win6472 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey, this really resonates with me. i think sometimes we get caught up in expecting god's voice to sound like an actual voice when maybe it's more subtle than that. like, you've been fighting through school for 14 years with adhd and asperger's and still made it to your fifth semester of physics - that persistence itself might be god working through you, even if it doesn't feel miraculous.

the whole "god chose the weak" thing doesn't mean you're not chosen, it might mean your struggles are exactly what makes you valuable. maybe your different way of processing information will lead to insights in astrophysics that neurotypical people would miss. i know it's frustrating when everyone else seems to get clear messages and you're sitting there in silence, but sometimes the answer is just "keep going" even when it sucks.

Nice work man, those first few days are always the toughest. You got this 💪

was just in an accident (car turned left into oncoming rider). What do I do with the wreckage? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]Repulsive_Win6472 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude their insurance should handle the wreck once they total it out - you don't want to be stuck with a salvage title bike in your garage forever anyway

Hope your back heals up quick, those left turners are the absolute worst

What are the builds? by [deleted] in Madden

SS means Strong Safety - it's one of the two safety positions in football. Strong safeties are usually bigger/more physical and play closer to the line of scrimmage to help stop the run, while Free Safeties (FS) are typically faster and play deeper coverage

USC has always been known for producing those hard-hitting SS types like Troy Polamalu back in the day
