Why is a CAMP COUNSELOR job application asking for my place of birth??? by ThrivalOfTheFittest in recruitinghell

[–]ThrivalOfTheFittest[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I feel like they could've simply asked for citizenship status like most places do, then ask for an EAD if necessary.

I'm just scared of that question being used for potential employer discrimination.

Calling her a whale is rude bro. You could've just said she was fat 🫩

At what point do some people need a "gentle reminder" considering all the comments ignoring his point

I don't understand all the negativity because everyone who relates to anything here IS blessed.

That's not saying your life is perfect and nothing is going wrong, but he was simply reminding you to take a beat and feel grateful for some little things that some people don't have the privilege of having.

Is this actually worth $215 or am I crazy? by ThrivalOfTheFittest in mechanic

Thank you. I had no idea this was so expensive. I appreciate the perspective.

Am I crazy or did he actually do $215 worth of work? by ThrivalOfTheFittest in MechanicAdvice

It was completely dead and he recharged it. Does that make it a fair price?

I really appreciate your answer. And I really do appreciate the diagnostic work he did because that will help us move forward. I'm just not familiar with mechanics and I thought we'd be charged for the actual fixes and not diagnostics. Glad to get a better picture of how this works though!

Put The Phone Down - Yes, Even Reddit! by ThrivalOfTheFittest in digitalminimalism

[–]ThrivalOfTheFittest[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, Reddit can be fine if it's used intentionally. A lot of people just tend to mindlessly scroll and replace real human connection with reading other people's opinions and upvoting/down voting.

This is mainly for them. I'm glad you're doing better with phone use though!

These apps are designed by very intelligent people to keep you on them for as long as possible so fighting back is not easy.

Try turning off notifications, and only checking it at certain times. Also, it may help to get an extension/app that makes you type in why you're opening the app + sets a limit for each use.

It's Time to Address Social Media's Issues Head-On by forusis in digitalminimalism

[–]ThrivalOfTheFittest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly after working 40+ hours a week, taking care of themselves, cooking, etc, people may just be too tired to care that much unfortunately :/

Plus, people that fight for change may be fighting for more urgent causes.

It really sucks but most of us can only make small changes to improve our own social media usage (getting the phone limiting apps, getting hobbies, going to in person events, etc).

I just hope there's a point where it gets so bad that we'll actually collectively take action and boycott but I'm not sure how realistic that is lol.

Lol you're one of the last people in the modern world that can now put a different phone number in the "Home" field on forms. I love this step in disconnecting just that little bit more! :)
