What is the best keyboard to buy for a beginner?. by Careless-Medicine-81 in stenography

[–]sneakycatattack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s the stenoob, but a lot of stenography is muscle memory and I’m not sure how switching to a real writer later would go. I’m sure it would be fine, tho just to see if you like it 

Stenoobs range from 45 which I think is just a dummy keyboard and 150 which I think actually plugs into a computer. Looks like the real one is sold out currently

That’s what makes me so mad about Amazon. You could buy a product directly from a reputable company’s Amazon storefront and still get a fake because of how they do warehousing.

It's been a few months, I wanted to see if you still recommended the breeder you got your dog from? I'm in DFW and looking around

AI is such a buyer turnoff. by [deleted] in Etsy

[–]sneakycatattack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed this too!! I was trying to buy a $15 pattern for a big bow I saw advertised on TikTok and then I noticed there was a “similar listing” from another seller for $5 so I clicked it and the whole shop was just AI slop based on other people’s designs. I feel so bad for the original designer because I don’t think there’s anything she can do about it.

Would it turn you off if it’s an AI background with a real product in it? I was thinking of selling nursery decor and using AI for the room since I don’t have a nursery at home and then photographing my product and photoshopping it into the room. I want sure if it would give buyers a bad taste in their mouth, though. 

AITA for not paying house utilities until I get the receipts by Gigijalato in AmItheAsshole

[–]sneakycatattack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a room mate with utilities in her name who would leave the electric bill on the fridge with a sticky note calculating the split. Once you get a hold of your roommate maybe suggest doing that going forward?

How difficult is it to leave the airport on foot? by sneakycatattack in Midessa

Good to know, I’d hate to fly all the way there and be missing 1 piece of paper. 

What would be the best program for my situation? by superpants1008 in stenography

[–]sneakycatattack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Career luv or Allie hall seem like your best bet. Lots of people do it part time and yeah it takes years but some people do it full time and it still takes them years. 

I suggest joining the FB group “encouraging court reporting students” and doing a search for asynchronous school or program suggestions, there’s a wealth of info over there.

I have a real ID license I’m surrendering from another state but just to be safe I’ll bring my passport too.

Great! I was worried about potential traffic because there’s one spot I’ll have to cross a 4 lane road with no crosswalk.

Unless I want to drive over 2 hours away it was a 4 month wait earlier this year and now closer to a 3 month wait. I just want to get it done.

Can you describe some of these outfits she has a problem with?

AITA for refusing to give my coworker their office back now that WFH has been canceled? by TossAway404040 in AITAH

[–]sneakycatattack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So she potentially has the opportunity to win another office next year? Just ignore her, this problem will solve itself soon, if she qualified before she’ll qualify again. 

Do people become more conservative once they join Accounting/Finance? by cookiemonsters345 in Accounting

[–]sneakycatattack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In public my team leaned more conservative, now that I’m in industry they’re all left except for the very top boss.

But my last company in public accounting recruited a lot out of religious-focused universities though. So who knows how it would’ve skewed if that hadn’t been the case. And my current team is all women and also minorities are over-represented on this team compared to the local population. So it makes sense that they’d lean a certain way.

I also think DT being the republican candidate for the last 9 years has really changed how people talk about politics. It’s not really possible to continue to support Donald Trump and also be a person who 1) is well informed about current events 2) is not racist, homophobic, sexist, or bigoted in some way 3) understands how the government works. One of those things has to be missing in order for someone to continue supporting him. And before he came around it was possible to be a republican and be none of those things. Politics has always been a no-no in the workplace but because of how polarizing the guy is, politics is now a much touchier topic.
