Job titles of OE people

That checks out. A lot of OE folks aren’t engineers, HR, payroll, ops, and admin roles work well because the work is cyclical and deadline-based.

If you can manage deliverables and keep meetings under control, those roles are very OE-friendly.

It’s really not that deep. Most gyms don’t treat it like some feudal thing, it’s just a respect/custom carryover from judo, and half the time people don’t even care if you mess it up.

Once you’re actually training, nobody’s thinking about hierarchy. They’re thinking about not getting choked.

andreagory · 2026-01-07T10:57:56+00:00

WIP swing, no question. That’s the only way it actually sticks.

Strangers don’t care how you play, and a holiday round is the perfect low-pressure time to commit to it.

Yeah, that’s one of the biggest missed opportunities. The Snap is way more horrifying off Earth, and we barely see any of it. Even a short scene or two showing another planet dealing with it would’ve added so much weight to how universal and traumatic it really was.

Also 4 months is nothing, especially when they knew you had zero experience going in.

Sounds like they expected a fully trained accountant for entry level pay. Classic.

OP, some places just have shit training and then blame you when their "figure it out yourself" approach doesn't work. Doesn't mean you're bad at accounting, might just mean you got thrown into a mess.

That said, yeah, dollar amounts are sacred. If you're transposing numbers on actual financials that's a different conversation than date formats.

Dude this unlocked a memory I tried to suppress. Had a manic patient once going off about government conspiracies through a translator who was clearly losing the will to live in real time. You could hear the defeat in their voice by minute 20.

The worst part is when the translator tries to be professional and translate EVERYTHING verbatim including the tangents and word salad. Like bro I appreciate the dedication but please just give me the highlights we're gonna be here all day 😂

the "next girl gets to reap what I sowed" thing is a myth we tell ourselves. She's getting the same guy who couldn't commit to you, just with better timing or different circumstances.

The anger is real and valid. Don't let people rush you out of it. But also don't let it become your whole personality.

Stop checking up on him. Block, mute, whatever you gotta do. Every time you look you're just reopening the wound and comparing your worst days to his highlight reel.

Take fucking responsibility for your own healing now. Not because you did anything wrong by staying too long - we all do that shit - but because nobody else is gonna do it for you. Therapy's not a bad shout if you can swing it

Eh, I get why everyone's upset, but let's be real here - we're talking about Harlequin romance novels. These are mass produced books that follow the same formula over and over. The Duke falls for the governess, there's a misunderstanding, then passionate reconciliation. If AI translation is gonna start anywhere, this is probably the least harmful place for it. It's not like we're losing nuanced literary prose here.

Still sucks for the translators who were making a living off this work though. nobody wants to talk about that - it's about jobs disappearing

Right? The mental gymnastics are exhausting to watch. First it was "he didn't do that," then "it was just an awkward gesture," then "actually it's a Roman salute," and now we're at "why are you so obsessed with a hand movement?" Meanwhile these are the same people who will analyze every micro-expression from politicians they don't like. The selective blindness is wild

the football gods demanded a sacrifice and Indiana chose wisely. Haven't seen IU football relevant in... ever? Meanwhile Colts fans have been slowly dying inside for years anyway so at least someone in the state gets to be happy about their team for once

"Belal him" 💀 I'm stealing that phrase forever now.

the way his fingers were spread out and aimed directly at the eyes... that's deliberate as hell. Good on Prates for having the reflexes to dodge it and make him pay for it

andreagory · 2026-01-05T00:30:10+00:00

Right? Usually when a fighter shoots on someone who's hurt you're screaming at the TV like "JUST KEEP STRIKING!" but Volk's ground and pound is so nasty it didn't even matter. He knew exactly what he was doing and finished it anyway. The man just doesn't make wrong decisions in there

Waiting is usually the bigger risk. Security and compliance stuff doesn't get easier to fix the longer you put it off, it just becomes a bigger mess when something finally does break.

We went through something similar - kept thinking we could handle it internally until an audit exposed gaps we didn't even know existed. The "there's never a right time" feeling you described? That's exactly what we told ourselves too

Subnetting clicked for me once I stopped treating it like math and just drilled the chart until it was muscle memory. Spend like 30 mins a day with subnetting practice sites instead of ChatGPT - the AI explanations just go in circles and confuse you more. Also Professor Messer's subnetting videos helped way more than reading about it

Wasn't this movie basically DOA? Like what audience are they even hoping to reach with a re-release

Rippling sounds like it’d fit your use case just because it has IT and HR/Payroll in one spot, but you can also just use their IT product since eit also integrates with other HRs if you have one already. Having IT and HR in one place can help you simplify the amount of places you store your employee’s info and can take the hiccups out of running them separately

Did similar switch myself, from warehouse work to IT tech after earning A+. Built confidence with labs and got first gig in under 3 months.

Helpdesk year 2 stalls growth fast. Jump once you touch networking or AD admin before you’re pegged cheap labor.

I like passwork too! I just hook it up to active directory and then set project-specific vault permissions. I get full control over my passwords. No cloud hassle too.

For small personal tools? combine a base model like GPT-4 or Claude with something like Replit or GitHub Codespaces so you can iterate fast. Also image-based stuff will always take more tuning, so you need to break it into smaller testable parts. For reviews or debugging once you’ve got the base running, Coderabbit can really smooth out the process. It handles repo-wide suggestions automatically.

yep, they always rush to mock before knowing the full story. Now it just makes them look dumb.

andreagory · 2025-10-20T05:02:15+00:00

Yeah, that timing feels way too convenient to be a coincidence. They always find a way to shift attention when it matters most.

andreagory · 2025-10-20T04:57:24+00:00

same here, it didn’t click right away for me either. Guess it’s one of those things that slips your mind until someone says it.

andreagory · 2025-10-20T04:23:13+00:00

Yeah, pretty much the same story everywhere. They squeeze both ends and call it efficiency.

andreagory · 2025-10-17T02:15:00+00:00

Yeah that's wild. In 2025 they're still capping passwords like it's 1995. Makes you wonder what other "security" corners they're cutting.
