Join some Whatsapp group that piques your interest and meet with them IRL. I wouldn’t have thought that drinking beer and shooting the shit with total strangers could be so much fun, but here we are.

Geez, that reminds me of a former colleague that, when asked for “the numbers,” would just send screenshots of tables in the ERP system instead of exporting them to a spreadsheet. What’s even worse, usually a lot of values were plain wrong, on one occasion more than half of them.
I use the wage filter on Stepstone because I don’t want to sift through more than 20 pages of job ads each week. Also, I’m seeing more and more companies asking for your expected salary when applying on their web page anyway. If they don’t, I just put in the number at the end of my cover letter. Cuts through the bullshit.
Sure, I’m getting an order of magnitude fewer interviews this way, but on the other hand, I’m not wasting hours on dressing up and preparing myself, potentially even taking a day off and travelling out to the fucking company because they insist on meeting me in person, only to stare into blank faces after having answered the final interview question about my salary expectations.
Rather recently, when I was in sudden dire need of a job, I could not pull that shit off, obviously, but I still managed to get more than in my previous job. Then again, it turned out to be the fucking worst job I ever had, by far, so there’s that, too.
Thank you so much for this. The Wikipedia rabbit hole it opened up led me to the fact that “vintage” originally meant “wine harvest”.

I’ve been lurking for months before joining and honestly, the voting appears quite random. If you post a comment early in any thread, it’ll probably get upvoted even when it’s totally silly and inane, as long if it can be construed as being in good faith. Write that same shit a few hours later, it’ll go into the abyss.
I’d say it’s still better than on That Other Site where you can get a good idea from the headline alone what the hackneyed ‘top’ comments will be like.
Means… of production.
I kind of understood it, until the ship scene near the end, when there were two Debickis going FORWARD in time, slightly offset from each other. If they can do THAT, why not do it all the time? Why make people go backwards in time, breathe inverted air, and none of the protagonists have a grasp on what’s going on anyway?
Pass the dutchie, coast to coast.
No love for Caesar salad or Nachos?
When I was little, I asked my parents why they don’t smoke and they just laughed. I didn’t understand why. Because 100% of the other adults I knew were smokers.
