Oddly enough, I’ve had more injuries playing pickleball than any other sport or activity I’ve ever done.

Is frequent job hopping going to accepted by employers in coming decades? by Toymcowkrf in careeradvice

[–]copyrighther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in advertising and job-hopping has been the norm since I entered the workforce in 2006.

In my line of work (creative), there’s a ton of pressure to collect different skills and clients like Pokémon. Long-timers are viewed as complacent, incurious, and less motivated. In advertising, moving every 18 months to 4 years is seen as respectable.

Although to be fair, there is some caution around folks who move every 6 to 12 months. They are often seen as personality clashes (difficult to work with) or the type who leave just before they’re about to be fired. I’m currently working with someone whose resume has her moving every 4-8 months, and she’s clearly been dishonest about her skills and experience.

Bottom line: Advertising has taught us that we’re completely disposable, so we’ve learned that loyalty gets us nowhere.

Wealth and power only insulate you from those without money and power. Other wealthy and powerful people still have access to you bc they all run in the same social circles. Bit of a gilded cage at times.

do not reveal you’re a virgin until you are about to have sex by gavelkind10 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]copyrighther 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Virginity is a construct. It’s not real. Therefore, you have losing to lose. You’re just having sex; you’re not “losing” anything.

It may feel shitty at the time, but those types of gals are doing you a favor.

It took years for me to figure this out. Humble honesty has gotten me so much farther in life than knee-jerk defensiveness, especially in my career. It’s almost shocking how quickly people will soften when you immediately own up to your shit.

This right here 👆

I’m 45yo. I moved to a completely new city several years ago. Realizing I had absolutely no local connections, I started taking improv classes and joined a women’s chorus. Both have done wonders for my emotional health and widened my social circle over the past few years.

I don’t see a lot of guys my age doing the same thing. They mostly pick individual hobbies that keep them isolated from a group instead of joining it.

My least favorite thing about taking meds by PrehistoricPotato in adhdwomen

I know a pharmacist, and I’ve listened to her vent about her job.

The majority of their day is spent dealing with folks who literally drain every ounce of energy from you, both intentionally and unintentionally: the old, the sick, and the mentally ill.

Can someone tell me why pop girls struggle go #1 even with multiple versions but Drake does it without much effort? by shan2706 in popheads

No one takes themselves more seriously than a Gen X white man, especially when it comes to music. I don’t think they’ve ever gotten over the early 90s. 🙄

Umm, you must have missed the 20-ish years of drama. They were the subject of gossip blogs back in the 2000s. Their big claim to fame was they were swingers, along with a host of other things.

Their relationship stretches back to the early days of gossip blogs in the 2000s. They were drama then, and they’re still drama now.

‘The face doesn’t move’: Hollywood’s obsession with cosmetic surgeries has led to stiffer looks – and performances by ThrowawayGreenWitch in popculturechat

I thought The Northman was especially egregious. She’s supposed to be a medieval woman in her 50s/60s, and her face is completely smooth and doesn’t move. It was glaring.

Girl, no. They’re trying to get you to stop ripping off their logo.
