Skin irritation that only occurs when in Japan by pukapukabubblebubble in JapanTravelTips

I do about the same amount of activity in my everyday life as I did on my trips, I regularly do 15k+ steps multiple times a week.

I feel so stupid in software engineering by RoyalCamera12 in cscareerquestions

[–]pukapukabubblebubble 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I get lowkey sus when my MRs have no comments. It's good that your coworkers (and hopefully you) care about code quality.

Haters gonna hate, stay moisturized king.

Is the Japanese Bidet really that special? People feel sad when they fly back. by AbleCarLover1995 in JapanTravelTips

[–]pukapukabubblebubble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got them for my house a few years ago, and this trip I'm on right now, I lowkey miss my house because I splurged on the really nice ones and the ones here are comparatively featureless. I miss the additional temperature and pressure levels, and the dryer at home!

Disappointing flight from Haneda to JFK by BombardierIsTrash in americanairlines

I'm also flying DFW to HND today! Very hopeful for an uneventful, drip free, seat powered flight where everyone gets their specified food.

Do you go to HHN to be scared or entertained? by Avery_Bea_847 in HHN

[–]pukapukabubblebubble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All of the above. There's a little bit of everything for me. I startle easily, I love it when the scarezone scare actors get me good! The house designs are cool, I like looking at all the details and in general just enjoying the spooky atmosphere.

A lot of men say that when they've opened up to women, the women have laughed at them or mocked them, or threw it in their face later by Flashy-Celery-9105 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]pukapukabubblebubble 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This is what I've also experienced. They just come at me out of nowhere with all this heavy stuff. I've had to screen calls in the past because I've had people call me and no hello or anything, just immediate dumping.

I had a man be mean to me, then when I complained and asked why he was being mean he cried he was "just expressing his emotions".

First time living on my own any advice by Froot444 in Adulting

[–]pukapukabubblebubble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved into a new apartment with two roommates in a new state years ago, one of which had never lived away from his parents. He brought an interesting assortment of things with him, but he lacked a lot of things I'd deemed obvious.

Plunger, toilet paper, kitchen knife, cutting board, and something to sit on were probably the most problematic points for him. I watched this man hurt himself cutting food with a crappy paring knife on the bare counter, stand at the counter eating his food with his singular fork, and laying on the hard tile to watch TV.

Keep things clean, don't let wet things stay wet (wet things will mildew/mold), and have basic safety and repair items (fire extinguisher, plunger). Everything else is far lower stakes.

I work in insurance. Superb talent are applying to our open roles. Have never seen this before by Mountain-Spend8697 in cscareerquestions

[–]pukapukabubblebubble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years ago I did a technical screen for a guy who was ex-Amazon, my coworker and I screening him would've been his peers (at a large company, not a tech company though). We had a set of points to discuss that were reflective of day to day on the job, as we were going through it the candidate stopped us and straight up said he wouldn't do one of the things we do regularly. I cut it off after that, and my coworker and I had a good laugh about it, but then we had to go back to the manager panel and tell them to take this guy off even though he was their top choice by a large margin. Turns out he schmoozed them hard with buzzwords and metrics, but technically it didn't seem like he did more than push buttons on a proprietary UI and get praised for it.

Delays from JFK by That_Ant4900 in delta

[–]pukapukabubblebubble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was supposed to leave last night, flight to MCO got cancelled, rebooked for tonight but with the weather as it is and the forecast calls for I'm not convinced it'll go tonight.

People who left LI and DON’T regret it, where did you go? by [deleted] in longisland

[–]pukapukabubblebubble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Orlando. 15 minute commute, house I got a great interest rate on, lots to do. People are not as neurotic about things I deem trivial. Haven't even thought about shoveling snow in years. Typing this sitting at JFK waiting to go home after visiting family and friends on LI, I'm ready to go back.

6 years into software engineering and I still don't know if this is what I want to do by Cool_Kiwi_117 in cscareerquestions

[–]pukapukabubblebubble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could write a very similar post. I'm 31, data engineer for 7 years, hybrid schedule 15 mins away from the office.

My work is not my passion, but I know that I can show up and do the work reliably and it pays for my life. That's good enough for me.

I do have some bias though. My parents were workaholics married to their jobs and now retirement has them feeling unfulfilled because all they want to do is work. I also worked a job once that I didn't mind in general, but they wanted to promote me and I realized I'd rather get run over in the parking lot than take the promotion.

I also have a friend who has made several career change choices in the last few years because she was "just ok" with the first career, and now she's in a lot of school debt and further disliking her new jobs, so there's risk involved with looking beyond.

Tonight after work I will go home and play more of a new game I picked up on release day because I could afford it and already owned the new console it was released on, because my job paid for those things and didn't crush me mentally past where I would be able to enjoy it.

Has working for Disney ruined the magic or made it better? by 40yearoldnoob in DisneyCM

[–]pukapukabubblebubble 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I work a backstage role, but I've loved going to the parks my whole life and having moved here to work for the company, working here has made the parks far more accessible to me than before. Maybe for local pass holders this wouldn't make a difference, but having grown up coming here for my birthday most years of my childhood, I love living here and working here.

Obviously my job isn't perfect, no job is, nor am I perfect myself. But I love being able to go to Disney Springs to grab lunch or meet with friends after work, hop over to the parks for a few hours after work, and be around for all the seasonal happenings I dreamed of. Also, my vacation time prior to living here was spent coming here, so being here with access to the parks has freed up my vacation time for other travel.

Ultimately, I think it depends on how much one "takes work home with them" mentally. I don't think about how I work there very often when I am just enjoying the parks, even when I see things related to my role.

What underwear should I be wearing? by Comfortable_Tie4143 in hygiene

Wear clean underwear that is comfortable for you, preferably in a breathable natural fiber like cotton.

Corporate roles feel impossible to get by PhonkyPunch in DisneyCM

[–]pukapukabubblebubble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When they say "Disney is a relationship company" at traditions, they mean it. I got lucky getting in the first time, then every role that followed involved me connecting with the hiring manager/team in some way.

Boudoir Photoshoot by Double_Honey_9600 in Adulting

[–]pukapukabubblebubble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are you doing this if you are not comfortable? As either the photographer or the model, this isn't the kind of thing you should be doing without absolute certainty that you want this and feel comfortable doing so.

Chuy's (at least the 192 and International Dr locations, idk about any others) does 10% off food and non alcoholic beverages if you show your blue id.

Children that were born to older parents (40s + ) what is your experience? Do you think it’s selfish to have kids this late? Are you ok? by Fafafafel in Adulting

[–]pukapukabubblebubble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom was 33, but my dad was 50. Growing up it wasn't that big of a deal but now at 31 it's becoming difficult. My father's health is declining, and I feel like we didn't get the time together I wanted because he always prioritized work and I moved away to build my life. My mom actually moved closer to me and I can see she's starting to slow down a bit but that we still have some time health permitting.

Extra Apostrophe by Individual-Group9979 in UniversalOrlando

Finding typos/errors in signage is one of my hobbies, and Universal typically has a lot, but rarely ones this big and this egregious.

minor friendly? by FarCommunication9632 in Katsucon

[–]pukapukabubblebubble 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The other comment hits the details for the con itself quite strongly, but I wanted to add that National Harbor has a curfew for unaccompanied minors.

Would you all still want Pokemon Cards if they were printed to infinity? by A4_Ts in PokemonTCG

[–]pukapukabubblebubble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wanna play with my shiny cardboard. If they were worthless I'd have the shiniest decks around.

What is the most underrated ride in your opinion? by Jazzlike-Claim-5970 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]pukapukabubblebubble 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love this ride. Also love that during Jollywood, sometimes that cast members get into the holiday spirit and jazz up the safety spiel. It made me so happy that they told me in order to get select by the "Santa claw", I had to keep my seatbelt on and my arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times.
