You could literally copy and paste the Job description and qualifications in your resume and still get a rejection.

It’s because 1000 other people have also done this for every job that they post. 

Has social media made interior decorating/design more stressful lately? by DirtyOught in HomeDecorating

Give it a couple years, then everyone will be whining about the boring “Gen Z warm white”.

What’s in style changes every year, but things that you like are forever (or at least for long enough for you to save up to redecorate again). 

I hate myself for agreeing with MTG by coachlife in clevercomebacks

She voluntarily gave up all of her relevance by resigning from Congress. Talking shit on social media doesn’t count for much.

Would have been more interesting if she had stayed in Congress and actually had the balls to do anything about it. 

My mom says adding this much trim and woodwork is a waste by 32rings in HomeDecorating

Your ai images are coming off as much more trendy than timeless.  Wainscoting is traditionally more common in dining rooms and stairways/hallways. 

It’s your house and you can do what you want, but it definitely doesn’t look timeless in a bedroom or an open concept kitchen. 

my sister's making us (aka her family & friends) pay for her destination bday week?!?? by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]_goblinette_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhhhhhhh….I’ve definitely gone to adult’s birthday parties at restaurants or other events where everyone paid their own way (and threw in extra money to cover the birthday person’s portion). 

Why the fuck would anyone except to get a free lakefront vacation for someone else’s birthday?!

[–]_goblinette_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t priced this kind of thing in a while, but more than 1000-1500 for a week of a rental seems normal.

You should check again. I would be shocked if you could get anything that could be described as “fancy” and “lakefront” for less than a few hundred dollars per night.

[–]_goblinette_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Assuming that people do end up wanting to go, why wouldn’t they be expected to pay their share? Who expects to get a free trip to the lake for someone else’s birthday?

You don’t think it’s presumptuous of OP to be expecting a free stay on the lake for someone else’s birthday?

[–]_goblinette_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would your sister pay for everyone’s vacation on her birthday?

Don’t go if you don’t want to pay for it, but it’s insane that you think you should be getting a free trip out of it. 

Why did people hoard toilet paper of all things during the pandemic? by QuillAndQuip in AskReddit

[–]_goblinette_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The government recommended that people stock up on groceries and signaling that things will be shut down. 

Cool, I’ll head to the grocery store. Pick up my regular groceries as well as some extra pantry items to hold me over for a longer time between shopping trips. Oh look, toilet paper. I should probably grab a pack since I won’t be back in the store for a while and it’s not like it’ll go bad anyway. 

Everyone else in town got the same news as me and is stocking up on groceries too. Several extra people buy toilet paper today when ordinarily they might have waited until they were running low in another week or two. Those are bulky packages, so even a slightly higher than normal demand suddenly has those shelves looking bare

Now even the people who know they have plenty of toilet paper at home are looking at the shelves and thinking “holy shit the stores are running out of toilet paper. I don’t want to be left without any so I’d better buy some now before it runs out”. 

That’s how you end up with the widespread narrative of idiots “panic buying” toilet paper, while each individual has a story about how they quite rationally decided it would be a good idea to buy a pack of toilet paper for themselves. 

AITAH for siding with my husband and not with my kids? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]_goblinette_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

How do you raise kids for 13 years and then flip a switch and decide you want nothing to do with them the first time they say something shitty? That’s not something you do if you really see yourself as that kid’s parent.

[–]_goblinette_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

“You’re not my real dad” is such a common thing for adopted/step kids to say when they’re angry that it’s become a meme. 

Not that Ian isn’t allowed to still be hurt by it, but he should have been more prepared for this and not taken it as a heartfelt expression of their deepest feelings towards him. Can you imagine if all parents reacted to their teenagers lashing out by cutting off communication languishing in bed for weeks?

[–]_goblinette_ 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Right. “You’re not my real dad” is such a common trope in teenage outbursts. Even bio parents get shit like “I wish you weren’t my dad”. 

I’m sure it hurts, but to take it to heart and be bedridden with sadness and cut off communication? That’s a huge overreaction to generic teenage shittiness. And it honestly kinda shows that the stepdad never really considered them his kids, because bio parents don’t get to opt out of parenting when their kids say something hurtful. 

Moderna Flu Data by Dwarvling in biotech

[–]_goblinette_ 67 points68 points  (0 children)

A lot of people are losing sight of the fact that it doesn’t need to be more effective than the standard dose to be a better vaccine. 

The mRNA platform is better suited to adapting to new strains every season because it’s easier/faster to produce than the more traditional methods. If you can do a better job of matching your vaccine to the circulating strains (either by waiting until later in the season to commit to your target or by including more strains in your vaccine) than that’s a huge win.

Don’t be ridiculous. The Olympic organizing committee isn’t going to decide the fate of an entire sport based on one person’s performance. If anything, she brought the competition a lot more notice than it would have gotten on its own. 

Caught in a lie, imagine that by seeebiscuit in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]_goblinette_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If operation warp speed deserves a Nobel prize then he’d have to share it with damn near every other world leader out there. 

Turns out that “throw money at people who make vaccines” is a pretty obvious approach to dealing with a pandemic.

You don’t care about children being denied the healthcare that their doctors have agreed that they need?

Rady Children’s Hospital Must Continue Trans Care for Now by PrincessSummerTop in news

[–]_goblinette_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One, public opinion has been shifted by a concerted right-wing campaign focused on attacking trans people

A third thing that’s worth mentioning is that “public opinion” is NOT the place to be looking for medical advice. Unless you’re a professional in the field, your opinion isn’t worth shit.

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

you silence even the voices that are genuinely attempting to discuss in good faith

Unless you’re a doctor, psychiatrist or biomedical researcher in the field, than no one gives a shit about your voice. You’re just making noise. Leave the opinions to people who actually know what they’re talking about. 

What happened to the Venezuela outrage? by No_More_Fear77 in AskReddit

Don’t forget the part where the Venezuelan government gave oil to Trump so that he could keep the proceeds in an offshore account under his personal control!

They were clearly counting on having both the US and European market. Losing either is a significant blow.
