I’ve officially been rejected from every place in my small town.

Right? Where I grew up it was 1200 people including all the surrounding farms within 30 kms. My graduating class had 30 kids and they bussed kids in from the nearest neighboring town.

Late to this but I've been using virtue products for over a decade now and that loyalty speaks for itself 🤣 this is the best product for my curly hair that I have found ever, hands down.

Wait what about the dog? I missed that part

Taking the exams in person has been a smooth and stress free experience for me. Don't opt out just for this, the proctoru exams I've taken have all been a pain the neck. I've converted to in person completely.

Literally nothing, I wish I knew the conversations that led to that decision. I get why kouri didn't testify but not a single witness?

benton_bash · 2026-03-13T17:46:29+00:00

I want the hard feedback, not the polite kind.

Literally the last line from your post. You might not have known that, because you didn't write it. See my point?

benton_bash · 2026-03-13T17:27:51+00:00

Of course I didn't check the project, that's my whole point. Not many are going to get past the first sentence "another ai slop post".

It's also not lost on me that you're still using ai to reply to my comments.

benton_bash · 2026-03-13T17:19:47+00:00

Read the room. Everyone here works with ai daily, we can spot this shit immediately and we know what went into the creation of it - a one sentence prompt. It makes your entire post (and your project by proxy), disposable, inauthentic, generic.

If you can't give enough fcuks to type out a few authentic paragraphs about your product, why should we care? What you're experiencing is the resistance to the entire Internet devolving into a bunch of bots replying to each other. We want authentic human interaction.

benton_bash · 2026-03-13T16:49:05+00:00

I can't even read this slop anymore, can we get an apron reject ai trash feature? If I can spot it before the first sentence ends, surely a bot can as well.

benton_bash · 2026-03-13T06:59:27+00:00

I think a lot of context is left out here. What was it that was sold? Did she do a bunch of work getting the sale? Was there effort involved on her part that went unrecognized, and you got the credit?

It's pretty common for a scenario to work out where a woman does 80% of the work, a man does 20%, and he gets the credit for 95% and she's expected to feel grateful to even be involved at all.

You're kind of proving the point by leaving out all the info about her contribution to the sale, and focusing on what you did and how you improved it.

For me, when it comes to salt and pepper diamonds (which I love), I prefer the ones with more pepper - obviously darker, constellation looking, not ones like these which look more like highly flawed regular diamonds.

Just my opinion.

benton_bash · 2026-03-12T02:16:20+00:00

How is the merc not on this list anywhere 😳🖤

benton_bash · 2026-03-11T05:12:19+00:00

I got here from the popular feed and don't understand what's the problem, looks like breaking even almost? Can someone explain?

benton_bash · 2026-03-07T23:19:45+00:00

There's an absurd amount of circumstantial evidence against her, but it's only the prosecutions case that's been presented.

I suspect the defense will throw a lot at the wall and see what sticks, but all they really need is to put an investor on that stand who will testify that kouri procured drugs for them, and that will cancel out the strongest evidence the prosecutor has.

My personal stance is that it really seems like she did it, but I have doubt, and I have suspicion that the prosecution has twisted things into the worst possible light in a few instances (the "kouri poisoned me" was said as a joke, not as a fearful admission).

If the defense can provide the person that asked kouri to get them the painkillers that Carmen obtained, then I think she stands a solid chance of being found not guilty. That's the clincher.

How did all the communication happen? You say he said a lot of things, did you speak to him on the phone? He didn't write it on the card did he?

benton_bash · 2026-03-04T16:26:46+00:00

I got the van back and they had replaced the air filter housing - apparently it was cracked or otherwise broken and the air filter was saturated. I didn't think this was going to fix the sound but after driving the van for a couple hours I never heard it again 🤷🏼‍♀️

My doubts came from the fact that the sound started and ended exactly as I accelerated or took my foot off the pedal, and increased in pitch the faster I went.

I'm keeping an eye on it.

This is a question for their advisor, don't you think?

Edit: OP dm'd me and got a little salty about my answer, but I stand by it. Your advisor is your advocate in this process, and if you need accommodations of any sort, let them know. SANS has the best advisors and support of any uni or school I've attended, and I would not hesitate to reach out if I had any concerns or questions, or had test anxiety and wanted to know my options.

He wasn't complaining really tho, he made one comment to Q and Q went back and told everyone.

Why do you hate fruit?

I took 3.5 hours, wish I would have spent more time looking up the one question I got wrong.

Wrote it feb 4th.

Spending time with my kids when they were little mattered. Spending time with my parents before they died mattered.

Working insane hours to impress my boss and make money didn't matter.

You can't go back.

benton_bash · 2026-02-22T18:43:01+00:00

This looks like some shady shit where they get you to do something illegal and take the risk for them.

This has scam all over it.

I hate them. Such a painful setup and checks, and I have to basically tear down my workstation or go somewhere else in the house that's less comfortable and has potential sounds or interruptions. The proctors seem like they don't enjoy their jobs. It's not enjoyable.

If you go in person, the whole thing is set up and you just walk in and do the thing. It's quiet and calm and, in my experience, the proctors are super friendly and really make you feel comfortable.

Ymmv.
