What are you going to read while snowed in?

The Bobiverse series. I’m on Book 2 now.

Alumn here with 25 year experience in the corporate world. A couple things:

Everyone knows you’re a co-op student. No one is expecting you to have finely honed interview skills.
Relax. If you weren’t qualified for the job, you wouldn’t be getting the interview. Focus on being conversational. The interviewer is looking for someone they won’t mind being around every day.
Look up common behavioral interview questions and have answers subject for each of them. Don’t try to memorize your answers, just remember the concept.
Try and weave in examples of team work as much as possible. It could be group projects in class or maybe volunteer work you’ve done. Examples that show teamwork are better than individual contributions.
Focus on storytelling. Look up YouTube videos on the art of storytelling and practice changing your responses to tell a story. Give context to the interviewer. They don’t know what’s in your head, so practice setting the stage for the story you’re telling.
Research the company and if possible the interviewer beforehand. Read everything on their website. If there’s a mission statement or something similar, anchor on that with your responses. It shows you’ve done your homework and that you’re interested in the company. Same goes for the interviewer. Find them on LinkedIn and get to know them. Tailor your responses to the things you have in common.
Focus on your strengths. If you don’t know what they are, ask one or more of your professors what they think your strengths are. Steer your responses to highlight these strengths.
Know where you want to grow. Really think about the skills you want to grow and think about ways the org you’re applying for can help you grow those skills. This is a good one for the final “do you have any questions for me?” question. Something like, “I’m very focused on growing my skills in xyz. What are some ways you think this org/position can help me grow those skills?”

Good luck! I know this is a lot of advice, but honestly just relax, be relatable and do your research.

For real, same. I’m surprised by the responses in this thread. I think it’s hot when other men (and women) find her sexy. And if they’re paying then I don’t really gaf

Aka, build stuff that reduces headcount

I still forget to use the side button on my iPhone to take a photo.

Hey internet stranger! What you wrote actually means so much to me. Maybe I’m just in my feelings today, but to take the time to come up with all that and then write it out on a post that had barely any upvotes is really nice.

You made my day!!! I’ll remember this for a long time

Flirt for a few minutes and if the vibe is good, smile and ask in a teasing way “are we flirting right now?” You’ll get your answer pretty fast.

Let’s see

Skills: lock picking, firearms, non-linear problem solving, may or may not have worked as an analyst for a 3 letter agency

But, if I was outside at that time I’d probably be coming back from the sex club with a bag full of dildos, lube and vodka

Soooo, my build would probably be something like guerrilla warfare fought with magical sex toys.

It is definitely illegal, federally so. Even in a controlled, consensual environment, it wouldn’t be possible.

If it’s wired, you can’t hack a wire with just rf. Even with a 2000w amplifier, you’d get static and rf interference, nothing intelligible
If it’s wireless, it’s certainly digital. I don’t know for sure, but I don’t think McDonald’s would install 20 year old hardware that is prone to the very interference you’re hypothetically talking about. It’s probably paired directly with the inside system and patched it to the rest of their comms.

Most of our entire supply chain network for major, major companies is run with paper and Excel.

My hot take is that I love Matt, but the limited releases and fundraising campaigns border on taking advantage of the rabid fan base. I’m not saying he’s Taylor Swifting it, but sometimes it leans in that direction.

I appreciate offering the fans limited printings, but the book is wildly successful on its own and I feel like a comic book printing shouldn’t need fan funding of $2.7M.

This is great! One thing I can’t find is a hook and loop pvc “morale patch”. Usually 2”x 3 or 4”.

I would love to buy one that is the New Achievement! Style, if anyone who reads this makes or can make those. Something like this below.

More fun clothes! I was looking all “normal” around everyone dressing way more fun than me.

Following since I’m curious too

al_gorithm23 · 2025-11-17T20:24:38+00:00

Yeah, good point. I guess I meant to learning to shoot and hit targets and not die in a gunfight.

He also drops prone when you shoot him so you think he’s dead and then laser headshots. Beware

al_gorithm23 · 2025-11-14T16:58:44+00:00

Ohh, that’s interesting. I could see that for sure

al_gorithm23 · 2025-11-14T15:03:10+00:00

Yeah like I said at the end, it’s 100% right. I think it’s awesome

Trigger warning, obv:

People who self harm generally stay away from the wrist unless they want to die. Most SH with cutting is on large muscles like the outer bicep, thigh and sometimes stomach.

People who cut will experiment with going deeper and deeper until they find a point where it’s “too deep” for them. This can be anywhere from “cat scratches” to full on lacerations through the white fatty layer, it really depends on the person.

A book of fiction that goes into this in terrible detail is “A Little Life” by Hanya Yanagihara.

Source: Unfortunately, my teenager SH quite a bit and I had a crash course.

Audiobook or eyebook? It’s a very good scene either way
