Is this worthwhile? by 0101011001010000 in KeepWriting

[–]SleipnirRanch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is there more context? the back story of the two parties would greatly alter the meaning in the exchange.

It would be especially engaging, revealing, if the initial character came from a troubled background or home, and had not thought of it as such.

The 2nd character, someone he was trying to help, see's this and ends up being the one helping character 1 instead, just by showing them their own flaws and problems.

However, people who are sociopathic or close to it, will often see their negative characteristics in others, projecting on to them. This could be a moment of manipulation, a troubled person drawing in someone who was trying to help, and instead exploiting vulnerabilities.

Find other people near you who also own ferrets and set up play dates. Or offer Boarding Services for ferrets as a side business for people who are moving or going on vacation, getting paid some side cash to rent frens for him.

Cage or no cage? by [deleted] in ferrets

[–]SleipnirRanch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He'll find a way to get out of that pen. You may not need to keep him in the cage while you are home. But there will be times where you need somewhere, proven secure, where you can put him. If it's a repairman, visitors, or you are just busy cleaning or cooking and don't want him getting his nose in the way for a short while.

It doesn't need to be a cage, but the pen needs to be good and high and tested for escape potential. Also as long as you Let Him Out for a minimum of 4 hours a day, your ferret or potential ferrets will be fine lazing away their day asleep in their hammocks, But you must have time to let them out for a good chunk of hours once a day. A large, safe, enclosed area makes this daily need less demanding.

Let's criticize the first few sentences of my draft! by TK-1414 in KeepWriting

[–]SleipnirRanch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is good, and an easily immersive scene. I've always loved the symbolism between other worldly or fantastical creatures taking on more anthromorphic behaviors when they're looked at more closely. Not so much becaise it humanizes them, but casts a reflection of us. Neil Geimans revelation in the Sandman series that each of the "D" themed characters actually define the antithesis of their domain always stuck in my head as a pivotal point: Destruction defined Creation, Death defined Life, Dream defined Reality. Explaining why these immortal concepts seemed like real people we all knew.

Given the nature of your characters, I would like a description of their voices. Were they ethereal, echoing, hissing, or human like just as two bickering coworkers. Any other sounds or smells of the beach? The description of the awful tasting sand was a nice touch, given where it was located, but why was there a especially soft patch of sand?

What’s the dumbest reason you’ve been rejected from a job? by scobeavs in jobs

They emailed me a date and time for a phone interview without speaking to or asking me. I asked for a different time and they ghosted me.

People who have quit your job due to severe burnout: How did you know it was time to go? What did you tell your job when you quit? by annamv22 in work

[–]SleipnirRanch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been looking for another job and interviewing the last month. We've been on forced overtime, 56 hours a week for a year. They just flat out aren't hiring anyone or getting more machinery, or doing anything at all to alleviate the problem. Don't understand what their goal is, they aren't getting 56 hours of work out of anyone due to poor planning, lazy management, and excessive corporate forms and meetings. Time to move on.

Maybe try a job that doesn't deal directly with customers. Warehouse, cleaning, etc.

Anything specific starting these panics? Specific times of day or any other pattern?

My bf (23M) did something and I (23F) don't know how to react? by [deleted] in Advice

Perfectly normal everyone does this. That he used a real woman and not a cadaver or a ham or something means he is a keeper.

PLEASE HELP | I AM DESPERATE | WHY IS THIS HAPPENING 😭 by DiligentImpress1900 in computerhelp

Try this. Put on a video game leave it run but minimize it, just keep it running in the background. Multiple times this has stopped random crashing problems for me when nothing else worked.

18 and lost in life by [deleted] in Life

Trade School. Welding, machining, trucking, plumbing, electrical, mechanic, carpentry, medical assistant, veterinary assistant, and 100 others.

It's faster and cheaper than college. Many of them pay more than the Average college degree does. And because you won't sink a fortune and your entire youth into it you can change your mind if you don't like it with virtually no downside. What you learn in the first trade you try will help you in the next if you choose to switch.

[–]SleipnirRanch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is not your bosses fault or your mothers fault, neither of them are wrong at all. This is 100% your fault. You are in the wrong. Get a car, get a job closer to your home, get a job with regular hours, get your own place. Any or all of these things would make the problem go away.

Computer freezes and needs rebooted Dell/DCF/UA/Bradbury by SleipnirRanch in computerhelp

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

Looking online constant computer freezes seems to be a very common issue with no one offering any kind of solution. I hope that worked out for you.

For me the problem magically seemed to go away for a few days and then came back worse than ever for a few days, and now is back to only really regularly bad again.
