I am a woman who prefers short men.

Persen ,

So you also like them short in bed?

xilliah ,

Ah I like bald men, especially if they have some hair left. Issue is I don’t like insecure men

Shame society perpetuates certain things to be insecure about. Just makes it harder to love people with said insecurities.

Im the person who’s been “chosen by the people” to do “IT stuff”. Family, friends, teachers, and neighbours reach out to me for the simplest tasks. Stuff they could probably figure out on their own, but insist I do for them.

I’m a nightmare for my school administrators, as I know my way around every blocking and monitoring thing they’ve set up on the school equipment.

I’ve also caused headaches for the entire city wide school system, as I got cloudflare to (unintentionally) block traffic from our ip address, and since all traffic is funnleded trough a VPN to a central gateway (all schools in said city use the vpn) ,meaning I blocked 66k kids from using the internet for 15m. ( I didn’t get in trouble :3)

I thought I only had some ADHD, MFW filling out the psychiatrist’s questionnaire and I’m marking everything on the inattentive section as “almost always”

Sadbutdru ,

? isn’t scoring highly on the inattentive section consistent with having ‘some ADHD’?

sunbunman ,

No idea I have my first session next week, I’ll know more then. This was all just some homework they gave me to do beforehand.

I’ve never had to do a job interview. 5 different jobs, all word of mouth.

amazing, but how?

I would also like to know where people network to find jobs. Haven’t had any luck. I just want a help desk role.

A lot of it has been family and college. The college I attended has a research group that allows students to do internships.

The college also runs job fairs every one in a while. Those kinds of things I huge.

Conventions of any kind as well, where you can speak to people in booths, or even any of the other attendees.

pineapplelover ,

I’ve been to college job fairs and went to conferences. Didn’t really help.

My first ever job was running a wood chipper under my uncles tree business. Did that almost every weekend for a number of years. Even sometimes in the winter. I wasn’t even a teenager when I first started this job.

Second job was working in a warehouse at a company my mom worked at. They really needed weekend help.

My third job was doing landscaping over the summer at a smallish company where my brother in law worked at. The owner loved to hire students for cheap.

Fourth was a few software development internships ran by a research group at my college. I had a friend who was part of the group and vouched for me.

My current job is my first true career job as a software engineer. The project manager from one of the internships I had actually got a job as CTO at this company. Offered me a junior position there out of college. Been there almost 6 years.

I have applied to places where I certainly would have needed interviews, but I was never offered an opportunity.

To make this even more awesome is that I’ve interviewed candidates myself at my current job for junior positions.

Highly recommend IGNEA if you like melodic metal. A few faves:

Mermaids www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU9WFEwsQQw

But gosh their stuff is just all awesome.

I never quite understood emotions until I started hrt at 32.

WHARRGARBL ,

I have total Aphantasia. There’s no internal voice, ever. I’ve never pictured anything in my mind. No taste, touch, or smell can evoke a memory or whatever it is other people have. My husband says he battles negative voices from his past? I live in absolute peace.

Depression and anxiety greatly hindered my educational goals, so I only have an associates degree in accounting. However, the woman I married has a master’s degree in computer science and a good, well-paying job. Our first child had medical issues requiring full-time care for several years, so I am now a stay-at-home dad to two kids, guiding them through homeschool.

Track_Shovel OP ,

Hey man. I got 2 young kids too, and it is N O T easy. I’m not SAH: we both work, but I can’t imagine how tough it is to go it alone every day like that.

Keep up the good work

Not as much of a metal head as I used to be, but these recent albums made me feel some of the magic of it again:

  • Civerous - Maze Envy
  • Anti-God Hand - Blight Year
LazerFX ,

Have you listened to any Brothers of Metal?

eezeebee ,
@eezeebee@lemmy.ca avatar

Nope. That’s a new name to me. Where should I start?

LazerFX ,

2 albums, so start with the first one, named Brothers of Metal. Emblas Saga picks up from there.

They’re very fun Norse themed songs.

They recently toured with gloryhammer and beast in black… And I wish I’d seen it live :⁠-⁠D

I used to not cook at all. Then I realized I can’t go on like this and started a challenge: Eat a self cooked meal every single day for a month. It was super challenging but I learned a lot (and initially wasted a lot of food due to bad planning). Now I still cook almost every day.

When you wanna know if a hobby is for you, try doing it every day for a longer time and see if you still enjoy it.

may we get some pointers on what did you start with?

ClassifiedPancake , (edited )

I don’t remember what meals I started with. Nothing too fancy but also not too basic. In Germany we have a cooking app called KptnCook that has very easy instructions with pictures and a shopping cart that’s integrated with major grocery chains to show the exact name and price of products. It was really helpful for the beginning and they have many recipes I still cook today. I’m sure something like that exists in other countries.

In the beginning it’s important to read the recipe first before you even begin to plan it. You might need some utensils that you don’t have or furiously need to search for during the cooking process. Later on when you’re more advanced you will probably have everything (or something similar) on hand. It also helps in the preparation. Sometimes there is a step to add multiple spices at once. You can pre-mix them in a small bowl.

Do the preparation first and have everything ready. American recipes already often list their ingredients pre-cut. But in Germany it will just say 1 onion, 3 tomatoes and so on and then in the recipe it will tell you how to prepare it.

Look up Youtube Videos. It will have techniques and cool recipes. Pick Up Limes, Yeung Man Cooking and The Nard Dog Cooks are my favorite channels.

I have a bachelors of science dual majored in microbiology and chemistry with a masters in education and I work in IT.

MxRemy ,

I work in a makerspace, that’s in a public library.

weeeeum ,

What are your tips for a library opening a tiny maker space? Some libraries near me have been given grants to have a “tool library” section, with some work benches and basic hand tools, that can be borrowed.

MxRemy ,

I think my biggest suggestion might be to try to avoid the huge industry of companies selling “makerspace” stuff to libraries, i.e. GlowForge, etc. All of it is wildly overpriced and underpowered, at the supposed tradeoff of having a lot of support. It’s a bad trade, the support isn’t worth it.

Try to build your own open source equipment, like Voron for 3d printing, OpenFlexure for microscopes, all the Precious Plastics designs for plastic scrap processing, etc. Building these from scratch is ultimately cheaper. Also, it means you’ll know how to fix anything that could possibly go wrong, since you know it inside and out

Don’t worry about not having the necessary skills/experience. It’s all very learnable by anyone, and also there are definitely members of your community with those skills willing to help out. On that note, you really want the community running this thing more than the library admin. They know what they want/need.

Pay attention to the environmental and health consequences of this stuff EARLY ON, before you invest in something terrible. Use easily compostable materials like PHA and hempwood, or post-consumer recycled stuff like PETg from used soda bottles. Get into making/recycling your own materials if/when you can.

That’s what i can think of for now, hopefully that’s at all helpful.
