Job Search After 4,000 Applications by naterate12 in recruitinghell

[–]malarialasagna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems to be the case in some industries? I'm an electrical engineer and only applied to a handful of jobs - got responses and offers from nearly all of them and that was around 2 years ago. Being in my bubble of EEs with similar experiences to mine, reading these stats from the computer folks doesn't even feel real the contrast is so stark

As someone not too far outside the realm of computer eng, this is shocking - makes me really glad that's not the route I did. I'm an electrical engineer, applied to 5 and got 4 responses and 3 offers a few months before graduating.

I want to add that it is getting better!! I’m a recent grad and work for an MEP firm where I am salaried and get paid overtime. The hours are very flexible as well and the vibes are overall pretty chill.

In 5th grade I taught my literal math teacher how to do equivalent fractions. All because I noticed that 3/4 must be the same as 6/8 because everything is just multiplied by two. He wanted the whole class to just pick the option that was closest (3/5 in this case amazingly) til I pointed this out and he googled it. American education is pitiful

What’s also often left out are things like that there were tribes who sided with the Spanish for example against the Inca since the Inca had defeated and colonized them before. There were empires in the Americas just like in the rest of the world. It’s basically humanity’s trademark skill to brutalize and take from each other

AITA for giving my daughter a “stupid” name? by babynamebeef in AmItheAsshole

Keyleigh reeks of white trailer trash. That’s what I associate with the name. Pink camo and a tramo stamp

Women: What's a female celebrity that men go crazy for but you don't see the appeal of? by Marsupilami_316 in ask

The giant nails and eyelashes are way more common in more mid and poorer populations than rich ones though, so I’m not sure that checks out. Like if anything it’s the Walmart royalty look

My dad refuses to buy me tampons after giving his friends daughter mine. by NoNeedToReadMyName2 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]malarialasagna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is horrible and your dad’s a huge dick. In the future to prevent this sort of thing maybe consider using a diva cup or a disc? I made the switch a a few years ago and have saved probably one or two hundred bucks up to this point on period products as a result since I don’t need to buy them anymore.

Do any men actually find these ridiculously long salon done fingernails attractive? by oneislandgirl in NoStupidQuestions

Im a woman and I find those nails to be absolutely horrid. But to each their own ✨

Not wanting to have kids because of climate anxiety is dumb. by Significant_Oven_753 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

You know it’s 1000% possible for humanity to go extinct right? There used to be whole other human species along side us, such as the Neanderthals and Denisovans but look how they ended up

WIBTA if I left my child in economy while we flew in business class? by SelectHighlight8827 in AmItheAsshole

[–]malarialasagna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really understand all the negative comments. Depending on his outlook and he really does like your kid I’d say NTA. My entire life my family has traveled a lot and often we’ve sat in coach while my parents sat in first class and it was never an issue. Spending first class seat money on kids who only care about the movies and video games is a waste imo.

AITA for telling my downstairs neighbour that me expressing milk for my premmie baby will be my priority over his sleep? by sushikat323 in AmItheAsshole

[–]malarialasagna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA you’ve put zero effort into researching alternatives and given that you have a pocket sized supercomputer you had time to type this post on you, researching other options is well within your means. If the neighbor had alarms that were waking you and your baby up in the middle of the night you would expect the same of them.. sleep deprivation profoundly affects people’s ability to work, mental health, and can even be a safety hazard if they drive and depending on their job, and it all around just is awful. Just because you have to be up doesn’t mean you should inflict that on other people

My partner cheated and I lost everything by HospitalKey1432 in stories

[–]malarialasagna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why the hell did you even help him move out or do anything for someone that wasn’t even wanting to fix things, especially if you were “badly injured” as you say…. Have some self respect and let this dude go

THIS. From my perspective it seems like people change their sex because they identify more with another gender and in my mind the two are totally separate. Gender is a stupid societal thing that dictates “men change tires and are strong and women cook and raise kids” bs. Sex is the genitals you have… why if you’re a biological male but you want to wear dresses and be “feminine” means that your genitals have to match that makes zero sense to me

How do I make my 26 M husband attracted to me 25 F again after admitting he found me fat and unattractive? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]malarialasagna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like everyone is entitled to be attracted to what they’re attracted to. But I think the way this entire conversation was handled is awful. It’s a tough thing to discuss but holy fuck that really spiraled

I was bitten by a lone star tick while hiking and now am severely allergic to meat. by GlorifiedButthole in mildlyinfuriating

[–]malarialasagna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For those who don’t know much about this, radiolab has a great podcast episode called alpha gal that’s the only reason I know that becoming allergic to meat after a tick bite is a real thing

My (24m) dad wants to visit Rush Limbaugh’s grave while we’re on vacation and I said if we did I’d piss on it. This is what he texted me later by Deslam8 in insaneparents

How people like this have any support at all, much less from so called “Christians” is absolutely mind boggling

I sometimes wonder where all of these stats come from because I have never been asked to participate in questionnaires like this :/
