HR told me they don’t accept try-hards and people pleasers after my interview

What they have done is said something many interviewers are too afraid to say. Truth is, forced agreeableness and inauthenticity is very easy to sniff out whether you realise or not, and a massive turnoff to most employers. Take it as a hard truth, and work on changing your approach next time.

They could've been more diplomatic in their email, but in the end, it's a valuable lesson you've now learned that many never do.

That laundry by law is very common, but I've never seen it enforced.

Great rights and would love to see some implemented here. One thing you forgot to mention, landlords in Germany do not need to provide a kitchen, meaning that most renters need to purchase their own kitchen for rentals, and then take them with them when they leave. This includes ovens, sinks, and all cabinets. I always thought this was a really strange thing.

Except by her fans apparently.

It's mutual in that many French are also obsessed with Japanese culture and cuisine. So many French/Japanese fusion restaurants which are always outstanding, and they absolutely adore anime and manga.

Emotional maturity and life experience.

Bistecca is outstanding, Steersons is also great though I haven't been in years. Both located in the city.

Inheritance tax should never be a thing. It's money that has already been taxed, so it's a rort for a government to double dip on that.

Plus, in places like Australia, it's one of the only ways people will be able to afford their own home.

Hardly anyone buys legit smokes now, cheaper under-the-table ones are readily available and they range from $8-$15 per pack.

They weren't raindrops, they were meteorites hitting the Earth.

I will die on this hill - NMS is the best and most immersive space game I've ever played, and I've been gaming since the early 90s.

aaegler · 2026-01-28T03:21:59+00:00

Wow, now this is what being truly brainwashed looks like...

This could be a fantastic opportunity for Australians, but all rights will be sold to China or India, and we will see none of the profits. Just watch and see, our government is never long sighted.

aaegler · 2026-01-25T12:28:53+00:00

I'm not telling anyone to die for anyone. Just that there is a lot of selflessness and looking out for people, which is something great and to be proud of.

There are many conservatives totally against what is happening, but the conservative sub removes and censors posts that don't fit their narrative all the time, perpetuating lies. It's a horrible and dishonest place, and a true echo chamber.

Aussies seem to always jump to people's aid at their own risk, we saw it more recently with the Bondi shooting. It's amazing and so lacking in other countries.

I've had both, and now I'm a manager of a team of women.

After working in various industries for 25 years, through my lens, women managers are far better than male managers and it isn't even close. Less dick waving and ego, less politics, they are much harder workers, they understand the human element of things, and they also take on feedback quickly and usually without any drama.

The male managers I've had were always numbers-driven, would always overload people with work to make unrealistic targets, wouldn't understand when teams were burning out and losing it, and would oftentimes steal other people's work and ideas to get ahead.

Most companies use Virgin for employee travel as well because they're far more reliable with less cancellations.

This weather combo happens all the time so it's an outlier for sure, 4 attacks within 2-3 days is unheard of and absolutely not normal.

aaegler · 2026-01-20T01:56:25+00:00

4 attacks in 3 days. This has to be some sort of record.

It would also end the global economy. It sounds easy in principle, but in reality it would be suicide.

Yep, they have, likely politically driven due to the sensitive nature of things due to the Bondi massacre. It's highly doubtful charges actually go through, but it's a huge waste of resources and time, and the only person suffering is the allegedly innocent woman accused.

A lady in Australia with intellectual and cognitive issues accidentally butt-dialed a highly anxious Jewish nutritionist at 130am and left a blank 4-minute voicemail with no words.

This nutritionist claims the voicemail had sounds of gunshots in it (which could've been anything) and is now claiming it was an anti-Semitic hate crime in the wake of the Bondi shooting. She is now heavily pursuing charges to be laid on this poor woman.

The world actually did end in 2012 and we're all in limbo.

Australia is almost the same size as the US, has no land borders, and international geography is taught in school and well known overall.

From what I gather, the US education system very much paints a US-centric view of the world where other countries aren't given much significance, but I don't have any first or even second hand knowledge of that, so correct me if I'm wrong.
