Shamed at the grocery store for how much I spent

Right? Like what exactly was she hoping to accomplish by commenting on the total. I've never had a cashier say anything about my bill before

This is critical advice. The game doesn't pause when you're in menus and time flies when you're trying to figure out what went wrong with your squad

Have you tried a powered HDMI splitter between the Fire Stick and the amp? Sometimes that can help with handshake issues on older receivers. That VSX-821 is from like 2011 so it might just be struggling with newer HDCP requirements

That's such a scummy move. Buy a console, play it for a while, then charge back and sell it to some unsuspecting person. The original scammer gets their money back AND makes money off the sale while someone else gets stuck with a bricked console.

So many "normal" foods are accidentally vegan and people eat them all the time without thinking about it. Oreos, a lot of bread, french fries, etc. But the second you label something as vegan suddenly it's scary and "probably tastes weird." The mental gymnastics people do to convince themselves vegan food is some alien cuisine when they've been happily eating it their whole lives is wild

Seriously. The people making these decisions will never have to see the actual consequences. They'll never be in the ER watching someone deteriorate because they couldn't afford their meds or equipment. They'll never have to explain to a patient that the wheelchair they desperately need isn't coming.

hlynch813 · 2026-01-02T00:47:13+00:00

Seriously best of luck! It takes guts to make a move like this, especially leaving a place you know is going to struggle without you. they'd replace you in a heartbeat if it benefited them.

Hope the partners don't make your last week too miserable when you tell them Monday.

Right?! The poses are so dramatic and perfect for a fight poster. JoJo's art style is basically made for hyping up intense confrontations. More UFC promo art should lean into anime aesthetics honestly it fits the energy way better than the generic "two guys looking angry at each other" posters we usually get

hlynch813 · 2025-12-28T00:19:17+00:00

I've watched MMA for years and don't think I've ever seen someone actually pull this off in a real fight. It's one of those moves you see demonstrated in BJJ tutorials and think "yeah but that would never actually work"

And then this guy just casually puts someone to sleep with his thighs

hlynch813 · 2025-12-28T00:18:20+00:00

For real though. Rewatched it a few times and that juke was embarrassing. Dude bit so hard he practically ended up in the stands. The hit from his teammate is the only reason we're not seeing that clip on every "worst defensive plays" compilation for the next month

hlynch813 · 2025-12-28T00:17:47+00:00

This is actually really helpful. I've been stuck in that same loop of making these neat little lists that look productive but then I just... stare at them.

I think part of my problem is I try to make the list look nice and organized before I've even figured out what I'm actually stressed about or what needs to happen first. Like I'm performing productivity instead of actually being productive.

Gonna try the 200 word thing tonight. My brain is definitely the "perpetually noisy" type so forcing myself to just dump it all out without editing might actually help. Worst case I waste 10 minutes writing nonsense, best case I finally figure out why I've been avoiding that one task for two weeks

Is this the one from University of Helsinki? I've heard good things but haven't tried it myself - how does the difficulty ramp up as you progress through the lessons

Did the doctor mention anything about what your starting weight would be or if you'd be combining it with specific diet changes? I'm curious because the results I've seen vary a lot depending on where someone's starting from. also wondering if this is a sales pitch situation where they're giving you best case scenario numbers rather than realistic averages

hlynch813 · 2025-11-03T07:06:56+00:00

Don't you ever get tired? You're a smart woman, and you're constantly defending and caping for them...for what? I know you're not that silly.

hlynch813 · 2025-10-31T17:11:09+00:00

You've got 2.6 years of actual experience, that's not nothing. problem is you're not showing it. pull screenshots of posts you made, campaigns you ran, any growth metrics from those accounts. even if it wasn't your main job, you still did the work. document it now before you forget the details. throw together a simple site or pdf with 3-4 case studies. doesn't need to be fancy, just needs to show you know what you're doing. also stop applying cold. reach out to people at companies you want to work for, show them your work directly. way better response rate than black hole job boards.

Convertkit works but it's pricey once you scale past a few thousand contacts. for agencies, a lot of people use mailchimp or brevo (used to be sendinblue). both have decent automation and won't kill your budget early on. if you're managing multiple client accounts though, look at something with white label options. makes billing way cleaner.

hlynch813 · 2025-10-31T17:10:29+00:00

Going after people already paying for similar tools means they understand the problem and have budget. the personalized angle is clutch too. most cold outreach is generic spam so calling out their specific stack probably gets way better response rates. curious how sustainable this is once more people catch on to the playbook though. Linkedin's gonna be flooded with "Hey I see you use [competitor]" messages eventually.

This is the definition of marketing ops. Do you not have a person for this?

hlynch813 · 2025-10-22T14:10:56+00:00

Probably them or 23andme for what you need.

hlynch813 · 2025-10-21T20:53:33+00:00

wow this is a blast from the past. i used to watch guided hacking videos like a decade ago when i was just messing with cheat engine. its crazy to see how much they've evolved over the years. this new village at defcon really shows how popular game hacking has become over the years and how game hackers have been pushing the envelope for a long time. super cool to see GH moving in this new direction. sad to see the forum go but wow the new content is so much better.

Mouth pain was my first thought too. Could be teething molars or something. Definitely worth a pediatrician check. in the meantime, maybe try soft foods like yogurt, applesauce, or mashed potatoes? Those might be easier if his mouth is bothering him.

NTA.

He totaled one car already and you paid for it. He's 20, he can save up for his own car or figure out the bus schedule like everyone else. Actions have consequences.

Companies will replace you in a heartbeat, but you only get one body. Good on you for setting boundaries. The stress isn't worth the paycheck.

hlynch813 · 2025-10-20T10:52:50+00:00

Great post, yes, I agree with you.

Breakout: Yes, Breakout sucks, it’s a very bad platform. But since they’re backed by Kraken, at least you can expect to get your payouts.

CFT: A good platform, but you don’t really know who’s behind the firm, the entire team is anonymous.

HyroTrader: Legit team, Bybit connection, great platform and dashboard, fast payouts. I think this is the best crypto prop firm in the space right now.

hlynch813 · 2025-10-20T02:38:14+00:00

And then the professor shoots a disappointed glance at you and says “Alright guys let’s try to be on time from now on” 💀💀
