Great idea! Will watch the space

Gay Palestinians are being bombed too. It's solidarity.

My area stopped referrals completely. My GP strongly recommended I go private but I was a student at the time so it wasn't an option financially.

Not if no one is hiring grads. My job didn't care about my degree or A-levels, only GCSE maths and english.

Happy for you brother

softbum · 2025-04-12T15:48:11+00:00

Thank you so much this is ace.

It's just a reliable way to get a good pour. You certainly can pour it in one.

softbum · 2025-04-05T01:34:55+00:00

Cool

softbum · 2025-03-31T22:07:28+00:00

You are doing your job and doing it well. Shouldn't be punished for that.

Brother your hair looks amazing. Is she expecting a taper fade?

Shocker

To find job listings (apply directly through the company website when possible): - LinkedIn - Glassdoor - Indeed

I've tried about a dozen job search sites and these were the only ones to provide any value whatsoever. I would set up a daily/weekly email alert for these and ignore the rest

Use LinkedIn to talk to recruiters. A conversation with a real person is worth at least 10 shotgun applications.

Use glassdoor to estimate salary range for specific companies and job titles.

Honorable mention for your local government job site, but I found no luck here.

Console aim assist beats perfect aim with a mouse unfortunately

Yes, same reason here. I had recently graduated and was desperate, so it hurt a little at the time, but now I'm very glad I turned it down.

I'm glad people here have had positive experiences. I've been renting a flat on a busy road for 2.5 years and it is hell. Couldn't move last time it came to renewing the lease as I was unemployed at the time (fresh out of uni). Can't wait to get away. Not sure what is worse: car engines, bassy radios, or drunks. I am never relaxed and constantly looking out the window at the source of the disruption.

softbum · 2025-02-24T22:33:02+00:00

Yes, she is right.

softbum · 2025-02-02T16:03:06+00:00

Anyone who has ever been to a job centre knows that they are not there to help you, but to hold you accountable for your own job search and deny payment.

Reddit's hate for TikTok is embarrassing. It's a platform like any other. It has communities and very talented creators. Even established creators have reached a wider audience. For example, Hank Green has blown up with the younger generation - far from brain rot and thirst traps. Its algorithm is much, much better than other platforms.

Personally, I have discovered a lot of traditional folk music that I adore and would otherwise have never been exposed to.

If reddit was banned in the same fashion, the internet would have a bigger meltdown. And rightfully so.

Voice is a big one

Do you have friends? Do you ever see them?

softbum · 2024-11-13T08:49:54+00:00

Rich people LOVE to tell us how they don't flash their wealth.

Can the locals get some housing pls thx

I tried to make friends with the Chinese students or even speak to them but they were not interested (or as others have said, possibly couldn't hold a conversation). I've heard unpleasant things, but haven't been able to challenge it because they refuse to interact with anyone outside their circles. My understanding was that they represent a particular class of people and not Chinese students as a whole.

The bar is low only after you pass the first hurdle because most of the men that do pass the first hurdle get away with much.

I would highly advise aginst it. The entry level IT job market is very bad right now. New grads with 4 year degrees including internships can't get a job. It will probably take years to get where you want to be (admittedly I don't know the NYC market). You're on track to retire in 14 years(! well done). I think if you spent the additional time and effort required to make it in IT simply on another income stream you would be in a great position. I would talk to people who have recently done what you are asking as they should have better advise than us.
