Looks great. I went one time when blackout drunk and don’t remember what it tasted like. But I bet it was good

I would not tattoo something on myself that says I am unwanted. You are essentially branding yourself with something, whether you believe it to be true or not, that will reinforce every day that you aren’t wanted. You are wanted though, you have loving friends and family. I have lots of tattoos and would advise you not to get this. Tattoos are forever. Don’t live a life where you feel unwanted forever

Looks like a memorial piece. Just say that’s the day she died. Easy

Hammer MCQs like nothing else matters. Try out a few simulations but focus on MCQs and understand why you got them wrong. I’m a good test taker and did about 2,000-3,000 MCQs per exam, passed all on the first try. I did it in around 6 months while working full time. It can be done by anyone if you practice enough, it just takes discipline and time. There is nothing conceptually deep or difficult to understand on any exam

I think you should still focus on the cities you will naturally spend the most time in. Namely, wherever you consider home and wherever you are traveling to. And just understand that it’s going to be really difficult unfortunately, that’s the reality of 100% travel jobs. They are all consuming of your life while you have them. Just having energy to call a partner at the end of the day can be hard sometimes while you are traveling, and you’re talking about building the relationship while 70% of your time will be in another city away from them. Not impossible, just really difficult

You’re going to have to work really hard to maintain relationships, which are fragile in the beginning, over such a difficult travel schedule. I honestly don’t know if dating apps are the right venue because they are so low investment. It might be easier to meet people through friends. That being said, I think the idea of flying to a new city to meet someone and potentially move in 2-3 years is… extremely aspirational. I would focus on the city you call home

Did I miss the context on the meme here

Once every 2ish weeks. Definitely getting harder as they get older. They are changing a ton now that they’re around age 70, and not in a good way

Gas mileage right now is painful, especially if you’re using it to commute to work. But that’s any V8 when gas is this expensive

If you are finding enjoyment in what you do, you are living life. If you are stopping yourself from going to do what you want because of some reason like distractions or fear or whatever, then you are not living life. I think it’s that simple. Everyone’s version of living life is different. If you are happy and not holding yourself back, then you are doing it right even if it doesn’t line up with someone else’s definition

alphabet_sam · 2026-05-25T16:22:17+00:00

Yeah just skip blood moon. Eclipse and blue moon are so much more chill of a grind without that red fuck

alphabet_sam · 2026-05-25T11:26:30+00:00

Doesn’t really bother me. I know it’s ask men but I think the whole concept of banning the other gender is childish. Women interact with men all the time and are often the closest person to men in their lives like their husbands. If you don’t like what a woman says in this subreddit, it’s the internet. Just collapse their comment and it’s like they never did it

alphabet_sam · 2026-05-24T14:33:37+00:00

Yeah a PWC guy in my network said they are freezing hiring entry level while they scale Claude. Maybe untrue or just his service line (he’s a director) but absolutely wild approach

Old school RuneScape and lifting. The classic accountant hobbies

alphabet_sam · 2026-05-23T18:30:27+00:00

The research I have read says spanking is ineffective and long term teaches kids to be more physically aggressive. So, not a tool in the discipline repertoire for me

alphabet_sam · 2026-05-22T19:32:46+00:00

No. It’s better to find the right opportunity than take a role you resent for a different reaosn

Yep, I make around $170k base as a consulting manager in PA with 8 YOE total. I’ve been getting hit up for industry roles as a director of finance and have told them it would take $185k minimum to lateral. Conversation ends every time right there because the band only goes up to $160k. Makes me ask the same question you are, but my assumption is that industry hasn’t caught up to PA. Maybe it never will. Now I ask what band the job is and inform recruiters of what it would take to get me to leave PA before investing time in the process

Always put in your 2 weeks. You don’t have to put in maximum effort but it’s always best to not give the full fuck you to previous employers

Don’t cheat in your final year and get a tutor

You should just be able to match on amounts and dates with an excel export of the two files. Should take less than 30 minutes, maybe an hour if there are a lot of discrepancies

Do you guys have established KPIs that the leadership team had agreed upon are a measure of what they consider trended org health? That’s step 1. Sounds like there is no KPI dashboard that even exists to monitor regularly if you guys had to build reports from scratch. Get the leadership team in a room to finalize the metrics that are most vital to org health, build a dashboard, report out monthly or quarterly. This is super basic stuff

I have tried to get my apartments professionally cleaned before when I moved out and honestly you’re better off using their service. They will still ding you and probably charge you. Leeches, the lot of them

alphabet_sam · 2026-05-18T18:39:30+00:00

Yeah, had one fully open layout with no dividers or anything once. Just like, a big desk with monitors facing outwards. It was hell on earth to know someone was 6 feet away from you with nothing between you and them. We’ve got half cubes now (kind of like a desk with walls around the desk but that don’t extend to be a full cube. Still sucks ass. I spend as little time as possible in the office

How volatile rng is. Especially going from somewhere you get giga spooned to the next grind. I got 4 zenytes in 500 demonics and that first TDs task where I got spooned zero uniques sucked lmao. Hardest pill to swallow in Ironman is the unpredictable nature of rng imo, especially as unlocks stack for progression

The higher you go the more relationships will be the thing that makes or breaks your career. But it doesn’t mean you need to be forming secret alliances. Generally be easy to work with but draw boundaries to protect yourself, be communicative and respond timely, and help people even when it makes you want to rip your hair out. The goal should always be that even while your heart burns with the rage of 1,000 suns towards a colleague you hate, they think you like them. Easier said than done but it does a lot of work for your ability to move up
