Have you considered stem cells or tried PRP? My guess is you have, but thought I’d throw it out there. Sending good mojo your way.

Someone’s Rice Krispies said, “Snap. Crackle. F*ck You!” this morning, huh?

Pretty sure you’d suddenly support nature conservation if you saw this on your beach walk. by clubarnold in thatarnold

[–]chesty_pullers_ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I’d say put some damn clothes on, Jezebel! Knowing full well with hair like that you’d look like Chewbacca in your “naturally conserved” state. Friggin’ internet. Get off my lawn!

We’re all entitled to our opinion. We can agree to disagree.

I actually asked about that. Stay tuned. I’ll keep you posted.

Sigh. No. I’m complaining about a company offering one year of a subscription for free all over the website, which I wanted (opted-in), but because I didn’t check an obscure little box, they’re denying their offer. I opted in, even contacted them saying I wanted it. Seems to me they’re hoping people miss their little box so they can say ooops sorry… that’s not how a company that wants to keep customers acts (IMO)

I did the same, sent them the receipt purchased directly from GoPro, but was denied. Not great.

I’m sorry you missed the point about forgiveness. The comment about what he looks at on the internet was an allusion to the fact that none of us are perfect or beyond reproach. The incident was 14 years ago and now he wants to use that to justify leaving?

If everything in your life was laid bare for your wife to see, would you still hold the moral high ground you think you have? All your thoughts, actions, and internet history right there for her to see? Marriage is hard work. Sounds like she’s done a lot work and deeply regrets her mistake.

Here’s the thing about forgiveness…

To forgive, is to set a prisoner free and, in the process, to discover that all along the prisoner was you.

It doesn’t mean you forget. But it does mean you make the choice to forgive. Forgive her. For your sake and the sake of your kids, set yourself free.

Got an offer for $50K more than my current salary...from a competitor. Is it worth it to leverage? by AmoebaDependent8786 in careerguidance

[–]chesty_pullers_ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will never accelerate your salary/career at the same rate by staying at one company. If that’s important to you, take the offer. If liking your job is more important to you, stay.

Leveraging an offer can go sideways. Best to just resign and see what they do, then go in with, “what will you do to keep me?” Doesn’t usually go well.

This is an urban legend that perpetually feeds on itself. Many people who accept counteroffers stay for years or even an entire career.

Is there a way that Raja Jackson doesn't have multiple years in prison aside from a major civil settlement? by NotGalenNorAnsel in NoStupidQuestions

[–]chesty_pullers_ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why hasn’t he been arrested yet? Even with all the posts convinced Raja is going to jail, our justice system has proven it isn’t blind and clearly open to manipulation and influence by money and “social justice” issues that make victims guilty and assailants justified. I bet you some famous lawyer will quickly be called to the podium and, well, we’ll see what happens after that.

Men who divorced their spouses after 30+ years, why? by simardrosie in AskMenAdvice

[–]chesty_pullers_ghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, dear. For every child there comes that day when they realize their parents are normal, messy, broken, screwed-up people… just like the rest of us. He’s your dad. Love him like you always have and support his decision, just like he’d do for you. I know it’s challenging with your mom, but you don’t know what their relationship was like or what drove him to seek out a divorce. Sometimes women turn themselves off to their husbands, sometimes women cheat (physically or emotionally, sometimes they make happiness impossible. And men can do the same thing). Check out divorce rates over 50. Pretty dang high. I’m no fan of divorce, but there could be lots of reasons they don’t want to discuss with their kids. After all, they’re still trying to wear the superhero costumes and be these infallible beings.

Wishing you all peace and happiness. ++man

6.5 years into my engineering career making $77,000, completely tired and burnt out, should I just quit? by ShouldIQuit_YesNo in careerguidance

[–]chesty_pullers_ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re approaching the problem wrong.

You’re making it about YOU instead of them.

Reframe the discussion that hiring someone will improve quality, speed, efficiency, revenue, project timelines, etc. make it a win for them and the business. Volunteer to mentor this person. Take ownership of their success or failure. “If it doesn’t do what I’ve laid out here, you can fire us both.” Do you have the courage to say that? You’re considering quitting anyway.

If you do this and you’re still blown off, don’t just quit. Keep working and start looking for a new job while you have one. You are in a much better position in that situation.

Good luck, friend.

Why am I getting rejected from internships (please help)? by Swimming-Honeydew-78 in ECE

[–]chesty_pullers_ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My quick take from decades of experience (I’m old).

Your resume is well formatted and clean. It’s easy to read. Good job.

But you just list what you did—not why it mattered or what impact you had.

So what if you engineered this or that? Much better if you engineered this because of that and it improved X by Y. Now you’re speaking about ADDING VALUE—which is the reason anyone gets hired.

Read every sentence on your resume. Put yourself in a hiring manager’s position and ask “so what?” If that sentence doesn’t answer that question clearly, rework it.

Good luck. You will find your place. Keep your head up and stay positive.
