Been scrolling through some career subreddits lately since I'm trying to move from helpdesk into a sysadmin role. Finished my last final a few weeks ago and figured I'd get ahead on interview prep. I keep seeing these detailed posts about specific companies with generic interview questions and perfect answers. The writing style is polished but kind of hollow, like it hits every keyword but nobody is actually home. A few times I've clicked through to profiles and there's nothing but similar posts across different career subs, no comments about actual work problems or personal context. It's weird reading advice from someone who might just be stitching together LinkedIn articles. I work with users all day and you get a feel for how people explain things, even in text. These feel different. Do you all report these when you spot them or just ignore and move on? I'm not sure if it even matters if the advice is technically usable.

My stepdaughter sent me a clip from a station outside Atlanta about a traffic pileup that never happened. The anchor looked fine but the cadence was off, like it was reading and not talking. I checked the station site and the story was gone twenty minutes later. I work helpdesk so maybe I’m just catching artifacts others miss, but it feels like half the local updates I see are the same handful of clips stitched together. The weird part is how fast people in the comments treat them as real events. If the original source disappears and the same narration keeps circulating, how do you tell what actually happened in your own area anymore?

I work in IT support so I'm always looking for ways to make things run smoother. When I got back into WoW after a break, I caught myself setting up my UI the same way I organize stuff at work. WeakAuras handle my alerts, I cut my action bars down to just what I need, and I color coded my cooldowns based on how important they are, kind of like how I'd prioritize tickets.
Right now I'm trying to get one setup that works for my main and alts without it falling apart, since my time's split between raiding and helping the kids with homework. My stepkid even said my screen looks like a spaceship cockpit.
Wondering if anyone else brings their real life habits into how they set things up. Do you have rules you follow, or does every character get its own mess?
