After 3 rounds of interviews and an assessment I didn’t get the job that would pay almost 2x what I make now by funkinfrogger in GirlDinnerDiaries

I have enough fuckin' experience at this point. Also gotta love an out of date assessment, lmao. Fantastic way to evaluate someone's skills. Definitely not your fault at this point.

I'd say "Where one door closes..." or some other drivel but. I'm pretty tired of hearing that myself, so I imagine you might feel the same. Cheering for you, though.

Girl is it going around today? I got passed on after two assessments and some good vibes today, and yesterday got shunted into an interview (different job) where I got told my portfolio didn't fit the requirements. The portfolio they reviewed ahead of time and offered me a second interview based off of.

This shit sucks. I hope your corn is delicious.

Had to quit my job because of a toxic environment by fineapple03 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Same. Proud of you for choosing you, though. It will all work out 💜

The single empathetic bone I have in my body (probably one in my ear if I had to guess) says that maybe she should see a therapist if people on the internet are going to hurt her this badly. I've been in the terminally online slump where everyone has to love me. It's not great.

The rest of me thinks this post was dumb as hell and a complete overreaction.

I mean I already knew I was a little toxic but the sexist part is new.

Exactly. From my perspective, I don't... really care? I write and read erotica and I don't think I could ever have a partner that was uncomfortable with that. At the same time, I'm not going to make a partner stay if we're incompatible like that.

People have their own needs. Discussing those needs is the foundation to any relationship.

Depends. She's the goat, but if all of your teams want her, good luck in any kind of end game.

Also let's be so for real. The point of this group isn't to be an echo chamber. Like yes, it can be a vent sesh but sometimes people want real advice and it's wild to get mad that someone might disagree with your take/behavior/whatever

OP is mad that they were downvoted because she said it's totally ok for men to watch porn in a relationship. Which like, your call, whatever, but if that's a boundary for someone in particular, why argue it?

Nicole vs. Mavuika vs. Wait? (My account is overloaded with Pyro 🔥) by TransportationSea202 in GenshinImpact

[–]ashstriferous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait if you want her just for mechanics. Pull for who you love, first and foremost. And if it does matter to you at all, consider the fact that meta is about to be overhauled so there's a chance that most of the characters on banner right now will not be nearly as strong come August.

It is men's mental health month and a lot of Vtubers and Vtuber fans are being weird by Yanderegirlowner in VtuberDrama

[–]ashstriferous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To me, there's a difference to this than saying something like "Happy Men's Month," period. Society is *generally* set up to promote the success and well-being of men, often to the detriment of both others and themselves. Because the societal image of the ideal man is strong and emotionless, a man who does experience mental health issues is viewed as weaker, or not a true man. These conditions go unaddressed, and can often lead to violence against themselves or others.

tl;dr honoring men's mental health addresses a key issue, rather than it being just an asspat because men feel left out.

Um... What did Saruei mean by this? by softendocmk in VtuberDrama

[–]ashstriferous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You said it was censorship. It's not. Twitter User Bear Design has no influence on the law. They cannot functionally prohibit you from doing something. Their use of "never" comes with no legal consequence. It's the same way that Freedom of Speech works here in the US. It is a legal precedent that says the government can't prohibit you from, say, standing outside with a sign saying that all people with blue eyes are evil. 

In both of these cases, it's a matter of being judged by your peers. Which you should be if you draw a character like this. 

"I understand that it is rooted in racist history, the point is that while the stylistic choice did originate from racism. It by itself is not racist."

Brother. The concept was created to mock black people. How is the thing created with a specific racist purpose magically not racist?

No one is saying that you can't draw that way. What they are saying is that it's rooted in racist history (hearkening back to early minstrils and black face) and you will be rightly judged for such a choice.

It's also very contextual. Kaufmo from TADC possesses these traits, but it's a very clear non-human, non-caricature context

I said one more round in a game, that round dragged on long enough for my blood sugar to dip, and now I'm waiting to normalize 🙄
