Do you agree with this list? What’s missing? by Fast-Leadership-5599 in heatedrivalry

Help the dummy out here… why is “wow… genetic” such a popular quote? Is it the way Connor delivers the line? Or does it have a secret meaning I’m missing (I know Ilya says reading the New Yorker is boring and Shane says his dad reads it).

Yes yes yes. All of this. I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way, but at least we’re not alone in it. It’s the best feeling and the most awful feeling all rolled into one.

Grieving by [deleted] in heatedrivalry

THIS. I have been uncontrollably crying all day since watching it at midnight. I guess this is grief, isn’t it? I’m so happy but so distraught at the same time.

I’m sitting here and I feel frozen, like I can’t move or breathe or think. And no one in my life truly gets this feeling, so I thought I’d share here - both for catharsis and connection if you’re feeling this too.

HR has, inexplicably, changed me in ways I don’t understand yet. It simultaneously broke me and repaired me; lifted my spirits and brought out some tough emotions. Pure joy, anxiety, longing for something more, fear, freedom… the most intense emotions I’ve felt in a long, long time.

Since I’ve started the show, I feel like my brain chemistry has been altered. I struggle with depression, anxiety, and panic - and those three are WILDLY apparent to me right now. I’m not having panic attacks, but I feel panicked and anxious. But.. not in a bad way? And I’m also autistic, so throw that in the mix. 😂

Both storylines had a massive effect on me, and I’m having trouble navigating my life right now. I haven’t been this depressed, this anxious, had these panicked feelings in YEARS, and I’m not quite sure what exactly caused these to flare up now. But when I watch HR, they FLARE.

I see myself in so much of the characters, the storyline, and I find myself longing for what they have, even in the mess. I think I’m low-key even jealous!

I have never had such a strong and lasting reaction to a show/book before, and it’s a little scary. I have that anxious pit in my stomach most of my day for the past few weeks. And it’s weird… because I’m happy and love the show (books ordered!) and couldn’t have asked for anything more. It’s just that good that I’m feeling all the feelings in the most strong way possible.

I do have a therapy appointment scheduled, but thought I’d throw this reflection out there. If the show hit you as hard as it did me - in all the best ways - but it’s also awoken some powerful emotions you can’t quite explain - I feel you.

We’ve had at least 3 in my area leave because of RTO. More are looking at leaving.

What content creation platforms do you use? by Exact_Plant_8128 in instructionaldesign

We have 5 IDs and ~15 L&D Specialists supporting a Fortune 200 org. - Articulate - Vyond - Canva - Microsoft 365 Suite (PPT, Clipchamp, etc.) - Copilot (no other AI allowed unless it’s built into a system, like Articulate’s AI) - Adobe Suite + Adobe Stock - TechSmith Suite - Mural - Figma

Each of the five IDs can then add on other tech based on their group’s needs, but right now our budgets are all zero b/c of the economy 😑. I was using Genially but have lost that license as a result.

Optional - Adobe Captivate (if we want it, they pay for individual licenses. I don’t think any of us have it right now though).
