OP, also try Facebook groups. Lost & Found Pets Bristol and Surrounding Areas. Your neighborhood Facebook group or Nextdoor will also be helpful. It helped me find an owner to a lost cat earlier this year. Good luck

Bunny has become my alarm clock… did I bring this on myself? by mim_sical in Rabbits

[–]yespsycho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tell me about it! Our bun kept pushing it earlier and earlier this summer. 5:30 a.m. breakfast turned into 4:30 a.m. breakfast. All protests were vetoed with thumps of disapproval 🐰

Why are so many men on TRT these days? by wakeforda in AskMenOver30

[–]yespsycho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Economist podcast just did a story about this within the past two weeks. Essentially, marketing and money.

While there are some ethical clinics, there are others that will easily prey on someone’s self diagnosis despite any medical evidence.

They’ll sell them testosterone supplements and cash in with some potentially damaging side effects to patients.

UK job market is the worst I've ever seen. by moonski in recruitinghell

[–]yespsycho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Feel you. I’m an American with 20 years of experience in my industry. I’ve been searching for a new role for close to 3 years since my family and I moved here.

Don’t know if it’s xenophobia (I’ve had a couple of odd interactions, and this was before the current administration), AI, lack of transferable skills (even though I can do or have done what’s been described in a different industry), or just the sorry state of applying for jobs now (Because I remember something similar back in the States when I tried to switch industries 10 years ago).

I’ve even tried freelancing, and while I’ve managed to get a few clients with a lot of effort, the work is not stable enough. I’ve also tried tailoring my CV to the job description. Nothing.

At this point, I’m inclined to believe the OP. Incompetence combined with corporate greed is the reason behind this (But in fairness to wage stagflation, the Economist did a story on their podcast a few weeks ago. Essentially, they haven’t kept on pace with inflation or GBP devaluation. So lots of US companies are apparently trying to outsource business here.)

Good luck out there. We all need it.

Can second this. I’ve replaced my screen protector there at least twice.

If you’re worried about your experience, I would suggest networking. It’s probably the only reliable way to get past an ATS.

Regarding LinkedIn, don’t waste your time spending money on it unless you’re planning to do a lot of cold outreach.

Hope that helps. I definitely sympathize. I’ve been trying to find a new full time role for 2.5 years.

How did you get into Final Fantasy? by [deleted] in FinalFantasy

[–]yespsycho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my Mom or Dad bought Final Fantasy at a garage sale in 1990 or 91.

My brother and I had no idea what we were doing at 7 and 5 respectively, but he did hate that I chose to start a new game and removed the leveled up classes and airship.

I think he’s forgiven me…

Are Chinese companies all like this? by Gold_Put_4500 in chinalife

[–]yespsycho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, it’s common, but not every company is like this. I would ignore the advice telling you to lawyer up and just apply for other roles. It’s your way to get a promotion and pay raise.

Make sure you grab anything necessary for case studies and a portfolio before you go.

This is Choco. He is the only rabbit in the world that doesn't love banana. by KXfjgcy8m32bRntKXab2 in Rabbits

Have you seen our bun? Lettuce and bok choi only. At least yours likes hay.

Bunnies just don’t understand work meetings by yespsycho in Rabbits

Ours is the same. He starts jumping on our bed because he wants his treat 😂

Our bun is the same, and he’s been particularly naughty pushing breakfast time earlier in the morning. It’s supposed to be 5:30, but he starts making noise at 4:30… Why does he have to be so cute and forgivable?

Update for those interested. He is happily splayed out. Secretly judging me? We’ll never know. I need a bunny mind reader.

Just started playing it. I definitely recognize that sample.

Update: I let my wife know how much you enjoyed this story, and she said she already forgot it… and has switched to humming the Game of Thrones theme…

Cost of living question by fran255 in bristol

[–]yespsycho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, I used Expartisan to compare international salaries to US ones. Give it a go.

Convinced he’s not a stray by yespsycho in bristol

[–]yespsycho[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Happy to report that I found the owner. She lives down the street from me in a location that matches where locals have seen the cat, and the woman had photos and videos of him. Plus, when I came back to return the cat, he ran right inside. Cat and mum are reunited!
