  • My parents live in a house built by my great grandmother, when I was a kid, about 7, just before I went to take a bath I saw the spirit of an old woman walk out of my parents room and into mine.

    She walked out, paused and looked at me, and then walked into my room. I. was. PETRIFIED. Although I knew if I told my dad something he wouldn't believe me, so I put tried to not think about it as I had to walk towards the side of the house she had just walked from to take a bath lol. Nothing else happened that night. I didn't recognize the woman but I remembered her face.

    A few weeks later I was going to sit down in our front room. On the table next to the chair I was going to sit in was one of my mom's lamps, it was ornate and had a small glass pane slotted into a piece of wood. We always had an obituary card wedged in there so that it would show through the glass, but I never really read it or looked at it, it was one of those things that kind of just faded into the background for me. Especially since I'm ADHD, my brain kind of just filters out stuff sometimes. Even though I never really looked at it, my mom had told me it was my great grandmother's obituary card. Well, as I was sitting down I happened to glance at it, and I had to do a double take, that was the woman I saw!

    I asked my dad when about my great grandmother lived here, where everyone's bedroom's were. He said "Well, Mimi had my bedroom, and yours was your grandmother's and her sister's." That about confirmed it for me: I had seen the spirit of my great grandmother performing her nightly check up on her daughters. After that day sometimes if felt like she was watching over me in my room, although that could have just been in my head since I had seen her walk in.

  • God, I get Biden is the lesser if two evils but fuck, the election propaganda machine is fucking churning

  • Rule

  • Jfc that election cycle was 7 years ago, kill me

  • Well if the man is Snoop Dogg, then wouldn't he be snoop fishh or some shit like that?

  • To add to the other explanations, if you've ever had MSG it is literally THE savory flavor distilled. If you've ever had Cool ranch Doritos, the aftertaste is kind of savory.

  • The capital H speaks volumes here

  • Cheney just continued what he and Bush Sr. wanted to do. W was a puppet in their plan and he knows so now. He even has said he regrets some of the things he did. Dude isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

  • Genuinely, that's less than 200 books lmao. That guy didn't deserve this

  • What kind of throat goat vacuum powered mouth monster would be able to suck cheese sauce through that straw? Lmao

  • ... just seal it with an oil and heat

  • Cool, I was wondering about that

  • I mean I wouldn't pick this photo, but there are some that look very real that I've seen. Like I said, it's an option. Definitely wouldn't be my first option, but if I had nothing else, it could work if executed properly.

  • New devs today definitely have to care more about LinkedIn than older devs, most older devs can hop from job to job with referrals from dev friends or something similar. The tech boom and venture capitalist funding of the tech industry is starting to die out, which is making jobs in this industry a lot harder to find. So having something like an incredibly polished LinkedIn and resume can be the thing that make you stand out in the crowd of new devs.

    Once you're established you definitely need LinkedIn less. With the job I have now, I have a few friends who could give me referrals and put in a good word for me, but that was not the case at my old job. And before this job I was a junior Dev so my experience wasn't that impressive.

  • I think the company I worked at previously was stratified in a way that intentionally prevented people from being able to get good referrals. Most of the devs I knew worked at where I worked, and a lot of them didn't leave until after we lost touch. I think once you're established you can get referrals for people, but when you're just starting out it's not that easy. That can make it really hard for a new dev looking for a job, and/or a jr.dev looking for a better job. I was a jr.dev trapped with no referrals, in a horrible job that overworked me, and the only place that I was able to find a good job was through linkedin's listings. The only thing I could do was make my LinkedIn profile really polished to stand out amongst the crowd

  • I found my current, very nice (for my area) dev job through linkedin. When I applied via services like indeed, I would almost never hear back. I heard back from one company and I didn't get the job.

    I am curious what you would do instead. How do you and your colleagues usually search for jobs? I'm always open to hear about better methods of job searching.

  • Tbh as a young dev without a lot of experience in today's market (added because of some of the comments), you need to have a professional LinkedIn persona, and that's true with many jobs. I can see this being useful for those who can't afford/don't have access to a way to get a good headshot.

    That being said I'd be wary of what service you use to make a headshot, because a lot of them will probably use your data to train their AI, and/or steal the data from your cellphone if it's an app

  • Most experts recommend you don't let your cats outside unless it's in a closed off yard and you're supervising. It is super bad for your car to just eat random things outside, that's how they get diseases and die

    On underweight cats the ribcage will be very visible, and the stomach will be too small

  • 1 is actually mislabeled, that would be your cat from 8 to 20 points, depending on your cat, the smaller the cat the lower the healthy weight is obviously.

    If your cat is a healthy weight you will see the silhouette of their ribs when they stand, if your cat is ovular when they stand they are a little overweight, if your cat is more round, your cat is obese, which is not healthy for your cat. Anything above that is incredibly unhealthy.
