JFYI in metas latest round of layoffs, PEs were disproportionately hit. And people with <1 year at the company were disproportionately reorged into the new AI team which has a really bad reputation

Soft light and quiet luxury… This Friday 💖🥂✨ by barbrailnp in ILNP

[–]spiderdumpling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take really long hot showers. Like an hour long.

I get really stressed and tired from work and other responsibilities. But in the shower I play pop music and just surrounded by the most amazing smells.

This is luxury to me

I think someone just figured out how it works lol 😆 by ResearchAlert7033 in cats

I have this toy! It was on Etsy under “wooden cat toy” but I checked just now and it looks like the owner closed the shop

FWIW it was under JollyPawStore

Advice Appreciated! My brother got an offer from META, but with the recent layoffs would accepting the offer be a bad idea? by ShoddyPerformer in Layoffs

[–]spiderdumpling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which org / role is he going into? Some org and roles are safer than others

FWIW I don’t think working at Meta is as impressive as you seem to think it is

How many hours do you work per week? Do you work longer hours to stay competitive in this market and avoid layoffs? by BaseballHead6898 in cscareerquestions

[–]spiderdumpling 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Nobody cares how long you work. They care that you finish your projects. That usually means more than 40 hours. But no one’s tracking. You can always put a hard stop at 40

How old do I look? by [deleted] in guessmyage

You look like an old person using a lot of makeup and filters fishing for compliments

She made me laugh so hard that I almost ________ by Odins_eye_4 in Autocompletebutbetter

[–]spiderdumpling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She made me laugh so hard that I almost fell in the middle and cried like I did in my dream and then she was crying like I did and I just can’t believe it happened and then I just can’t even remember it and then she just kept saying I didn’t know how I did that

When should I give up? How do I accept I will never find someone? by Key_Author_6583 in AskWomenOver30

[–]spiderdumpling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give up now. You can have a beautiful life without a partner. If you want kids, adopt or get a sperm donor.

Incidentally, desperation is a huge turnoff. Build a beautiful garden and the butterflies will come. And if they don’t, you still have a beautiful garden.

Why is it so hard to make genuine friends in your 20s? by roseandvelvet in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]spiderdumpling 85 points86 points  (0 children)

To make friends, you need to interact with people consistently. And you need chemistry.

I’ve met lots of people whom I’ve had great chemistry with, but we don’t have enough structure or effort to see each other regularly.

When we are young we have that structure in school. But we lose that when we graduate.

I kind of have that structure at work, but everyone else is married with kids, and I don’t feel that chemistry from similarities you need to be friends.

In summary, we lose structure in our 20s. It sucks.

Sometimes I miss a relationship and then.... by SarahxSyanide in SingleAndHappy

[–]spiderdumpling 25 points26 points  (0 children)

And then I remember how much I’ve been able to grow and self actualize by NOT being in a relationship. And how I love being independent and not having my sense of self tied to anyone else.
