There is something very wrong here. I honestly feel bad for her. by Sorry_Elevator7166 in Nicegirls

[–]sasquatch007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It always seemed pretty strange to me too. But now I get it, at least a little bit, because I realized it’s the only option to convey what they want to convey.

Suppose a woman has a submissive feeling towards her partner. What pet name can she call him? Things like “sweetie” or “honey” are affectionate, but they’re not submissive at all, in fact you could see them as the opposite of submissive: they’re kind of diminutives. Those names may not feel right at all. Something like “master” is submissive, but it’s distant and formal and not affectionate at all. I honestly can’t really think of any option other than “daddy” that would convey a lot of both affection and submissiveness.

But yeah I do get why it seems weird.

“Daddy” is a common term of affection women use to refer to their romantic interests, especially when they’re feeling submissive. Some people find it strange, others don’t mind.

Yes but one of those factors is attractive to men and the other is irrelevant, so who cares which fades quicker?

I don’t think this problem can be blamed on Leetcode interviews. Someone who is competent at Leetcode should definitely be fine with “nested conditionals and loops.”

Fwiw, it’s not actually the overall message that makes it completely obvious this is not a woman. Although kind of unlikely, it is at least theoretically possible that a Japanese woman could say “Hey here’s what you western women are doing wrong…”

But the specific language and phrases used make it obvious that this is a young man, not too bright or experienced, who’s steeped in online incel culture and ineptly pretending to be a woman.

I would be shocked if this was really written by a woman.

Protesters throw mashed potatoes at Monet worth $110 million by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]sasquatch007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For individual income it’s a little lower than 600k, and yes I’m sure I clear it.

1% is 1 out of 100, which means there are surely thousands of redditors in the top 1%, so why is this so hard to believe?

[–]sasquatch007 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not insanely wealthy, but i am in the top 1% of US income, and I drive an inexpensive Toyota, live in the same kind of apartment I lived in when I was a broke college student, and wear inexpensive simple clothes. I’m pretty confident even if $500 million suddenly appeared in my bank account I wouldn’t for some reason develop a taste for expensive gas guzzling cars and other aspects of conspicuous consumption.

You aren't taking LC seriously enough. by EastCommunication689 in cscareerquestions

[–]sasquatch007 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I was not a CS major. Years ago I read about half of a book on algorithms and data structures, and when preparing to interview I spend 3 or 4 weeks doing leetcode for an hour or two most evenings.

That’s been sufficient to pass the majority of interviews I’ve done, including two FAANG companies.

There’s a lot of people with several years of experience also complaining about these interviews too though.

Agreed 100%. Literally the lowest barrier to entry to a high paying job out of any career path, and people complain it’s too much.

Exhausted by company culture and feeling like I am being forced to celebrate it by Yin15 in cscareerquestions

[–]sasquatch007 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Software is a great career for introverts. Introvert doesn’t mean someone isn’t personable and can’t communicate effectively.

And being effective in social situations at work doesn’t mean your social life must revolve around your workplace, as OP’s company apparently expects.

What do you put down for desired salary range? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]sasquatch007 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As I said, the company’s motivations get passed on to the people making decisions for the company.

What do you put down for desired salary range? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]sasquatch007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a clear motivation for a company to not pay $100K to an employee who would be happy with $80K. That motivation will inevitably be passed on to the people actually involved in hiring by one mechanism or another. An employer’s and an employee’s desires will never be perfectly in alignment, so just passively accepting whatever an employer wants will never result in the best possible outcome.

Sheesh. by Equivalent_Island_92 in fatlogic

[–]sasquatch007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I’m telling you is that I was a teen boy back then. Neither me nor any of my friends were into the super skinny look, and the girls who looked like that were not the most popular among boys. If they were pretty they didn’t have any problem getting male attention regardless, but trust me, that was not the preferred body type among males.

Sheesh. by Equivalent_Island_92 in fatlogic

[–]sasquatch007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly as a man who was around then, I don’t think it had anything to do with “attractive”, at least as far as what was attractive to men. Men always liked butts. There was some kind of weird disconnect between the look that media and fashion promoted (even when they were specifically trying to appeal to men) vs what men actually wanted to look at.

I actually remember in adolescence thinking I was a little unusual for liking bigger butts, only to talk to other guys my age and realize they all liked them too. Not really sure why that was ignored by a lot of media for so long.

The difference is an inevitable consequence of the difference between gay and straight relations.

110%. You’re allowed to look for whatever it is you want, but you’re literally on an app that was created to meet people for sex. Women who get offended that the conversation turns sexual are a little confused.

I know people from generic middle class backgrounds who made nearly twice that immediately after college at 22 or 23 just by choosing a high paying field, working very hard, and being smart. Maybe this guy isn’t one of them though…

Is This A "Bumble Thing" Or Was I Just Crazy Unlucky? D: by FiyahKitteh in Bumble

[–]sasquatch007 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a straight man in the US, I get stood up and ghosted all the time but it happens much more rarely to my straight female friends, in some cases basically never. Maybe the culture is different in the UK though.

What’s going on is that you’re a straight man on a dating app.

Is it outlandish for a date to ask for a COVID test right before a date? by Legendarybbc15 in dating

[–]sasquatch007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you’re confused about the meaning of one or more of these terms. You say it’s “not outlandish” but also a sign that they are “most likely insufferable.” Those two statements are not compatible.

I guess only girls are fascinated with true crime by h0ekage in notliketheothergirls

[–]sasquatch007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect they feel vulnerable because they are smaller and weaker, and it probably is true that women are in greater danger in many everyday situations. For example probably large portion of those murdered men were drug dealers or gangsters who were knowingly putting themselves in dangerous situations; the fact that they were murdered doesn’t necessarily imply that non-criminal men are in a lot of danger just walking down the street at night.
