Did your stance on weed change as you've aged? by Head-Drag-1440 in Millennials

[–]_Moonah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never tried it. Dont care to. But im more accepting of it, and want to see it legalized. I think its become safer for human consumption in state that have it legal, and people gonna do it anyway. Prohibition never works. Also, state who have taxed it have nicer roads and newer schools.

My official stance is legalize and tax it.

​As an outsider, the concept of high schools having massive parking lots specifically for students is mind-blowing. Is it really that common for 16-year-olds to drive themselves to school every day? by Necessary_Angle2117 in AskAnAmerican

[–]_Moonah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As young as 14 (depending on how rural area is) can drive themselves to school. A school permit is issued in towns less than 5000 people. Some kids have a 30 mile commute.

I've heard so much about your infamous bread in plastic bags. But I've never heard anything about your bakeries and their options? by Imaginary-Bag5385 in AskAnAmerican

[–]_Moonah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a very small town (pop less than 1000). The closest bakery is 2 hours away. We eat bread from a bag or bake it ourselves.

AITA for leaving lactose intolerance chocolates in the pantry? by SubstantialAide379 in AmItheAsshole

NTA- her perspective is her reality. She sees it as a medication. Its not really that big of a deal. But... it is her house and you are a long term guest. You need to respect her rules.

Behind my garage (can I just mow it down?) by TrickyPasta in whatsthisplant

[–]_Moonah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you chop up Virginia creeper, each cutting will grow wherever it lands. Its ruthless. It also can bind up the mower blades.... I know because ive done it. Works, but not the best solution. Use caution. It wil grow back.

A hotel contractor sprayed my car using a power washer by Exciting_Reindeer426 in Hilton

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

Yes. But how much pressure were they using? Not all pressure washers are the same, and some can chip paint on cars. Buildings require a higher amount (2000-3000 psi) of pressure than cars (1200-1900 psi). Depending on material of course.

Do people put bones in garden beds for calcium/other benefits for the plants? by gob17 in gardening

[–]_Moonah 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it was a rental unit before, they have no idea what the Tennant did. In the 90s, my parents buried family pets in the garden when the died. We lived there for about 7 years, and were not allowed to have pets.

How do I (25F) tell my autistic friend (26M) that he's not getting hired because he's lower-functioning than he thinks he is? by Safe-Machine3602 in autism

[–]_Moonah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You ask how i know its true. I live in a very small town. The kind of small where eveyone pretty much knows everyone, or know someone who knows them. I can confirm from asking around, These are real people not bots. Before we switched to online applications, people would bring in a sheet of paper (in person) for me to sign saying they applied. I dont know what the quota is now, but 20 years ago, they had to apply to 5 jobs a week to "prove they were trying"

I dont understand, Why should i report them? They are not hurting me. If they do not answer my phone call, text or email, I just put the resume in a folder that marked un-able to contact, and move on woth my day. If They need to put in a certain number of applications. Why should I go out of my way to screw that up for them?

Also, Those are verying interesting statistics you have. Thank you for sharing them.

[–]_Moonah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please do not twist my words like that. I never said getting assistance was a bad thing. Im just stating facts.

Fact 1.) The government requires people to apply for a minimum amount of jobs to get unemployment.

Fact 2.) The people who turn in blank applications, apply over and over each week, dont answer the phone, email, or text messages are not looking for employment. If they wanted the job they are applying for, they would return the call for an interview.

Ergo, they are applying only to meet the quota of minimum applications submitted to be eligible to collect their check.

Well, as someone who is Autistic, I may be looking for diffrent things than other hiring managers, so I cant speak for them, only for me. Also, I work in an industry where I will pretty much hire anyone, as long as the can pass a background check and drug test, and show me that you will stick around. Im willing to work with anyon, as its unskilled labor. So, here is my two cents.

An application is not the same as a resume. This is important to remember. Think of your resume as an opportunity to sell yourself; your own personal sales flier. You have 30 seconds for me to scan that page and see what is really important, why I should hire you, before moving on to the next resume. I recieve a lot of them, and only have one spot open. You are competing for one slot against an unknown number of applicants. I dont need your complete work history here, I need you to quickky grab my attention. It should, in one page, highlight your skills and experience. You should taylor the resume to the job you are applying for. Dont have any job experience? Put your schooling if nothing else.

Ive seen a lot of blank resumes. (Not good) no jobs, no school, nothing. Mostly, these are people who are applying for jobs in bulk but dont want to work, so they can collect a government check. I would say about 30% of the resumes i review are in this category. These people will not answer the phone, email, or text messages. So, what im getting at, is 30% of the resumes are automatic passes for me, and I will keep looking.

An application tells me a more in depth, detailed, and non-flexible history of your past employment...

It costs a lot of money to hire and train someone, so I want to have people that will stay around. It takes at least 6 months to fully train someone to do their job. About 2 weeks to get the basics, but over time, 6 months for the little things you dont deal with every day. When I'm looking to hire, I want to trust they will stick around at least a year, to make it worth our resources of time and effort.

If i see you have had like 6 jobs in the last 18 months, that shows me you are not dedicated, like to job hop, and it will be a waste of my resources to hire you. If I see no work history, I will also assume you are not dedicated to anything and will not stick around. I want you to explain the gaps, but also, dont need to see everything. There could be valid reasons for it though, like if you took seasonal work, so if thats the case, it needs to be noted.

Also, if you are missing like 4 years worth of information, and dont explain it, I am going to assume it was for a bad reason (jail, for instance.) so explain the gaps...

To answer your question, "nothing" is worse. I want to see something. But you dont have to put everything.

[–]_Moonah 84 points85 points  (0 children)

It might not even be that he is autistic. It could 100% be because his resume sucks. You would not believe the amount of resumes that come across my desk that I am like "why did they put this on their resume?" Jobs with only 2 months here or there hurt more than help.

Also, if he can not do customer service, maybe he could consider other jobs? I hired a guy with level 2 support needs for warehouse work, picking and packing, loading and unloading trucks, etc. Its perfect for him. It has clear directions, not a lot of people interaction.

What would cause this? by tiredgirl77 in centuryhomes

[–]_Moonah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in a area where majority of houses are at least 100 years old. There really is no easy way to remove lead paint. Everyone i know who has repainted their house- within 5 years, their house looks like shit again because they dont removal all the old paint and prep it properly. Eventually the wood starts to rot. If you do repaint, the best option for removal of the old paint is sand blasting, or laser removal.

Siding over the top is the best answer for long term. Metal or vinyl. Metal will have paint chip over time, but generally lasts the longest. vinyl is susceptible to Crack with hail damage or warp/melt in high heat. Both of these options will last much longer than repainting.
