This sub is called kpoptrulyuncensored, so I hope this goes well...
I'll start: i-dle's concept photos haven't really piqued my interest since I Sway era. The members still look good, and not every photo must be an avant-garde masterpiece, but the styling and concepts visually don't appeal to my personal taste.
I fucking hate this holiday, but I need new music anyways. Can be as indirectly theme-fitting as you want it to be. I'll start it off:
Fourth of July - Galaxie 500
Young Americans - David Bowie
Independence Day - Elliott Smith
4th of July - X
Fireworks - Mitski
For me, I'm always fighting to find these in stock when I visit multiple grocery stores near me:
Fage 0% fat greek yogurt (and always the Kirkland greek yogurt at Costco too)
Outshine coconut bars
What specific item/items are this for you?
I had very delicious cravings last night, but instead I ate almost entire loaf of bread and some other mid food from my pantry. I still crave deliciousness today, but I've been on the toilet all morning and not in the mood to eat because my stomach is barely keeping it together. I don't feel like eating again until late night and that's when the battle begins again :(
I want to eat a deli sandwich and get a coffee, but there's no seating in the deli/area. Can I just eat my sandwich (discreetly) at the coffee shop if I order a coffee too, if there's no signs saying I can't bring in outside food?
Before I got hired, I told the HR screening person about a few-days long vacation I had planned. When I got a verbal offer, I mentioned that it would actually be a week long, and got told that it was fine. Now, I've gotten an offer with a start date in the form of email, accepted and completed the forms; however, plans have unexpectedly changed and I want to extend that trip to 2 weeks instead of 1. Would it be okay to ask the HR person this, and if so, what's the best way to explain it?
(Yes I know it's a bad look, but as long as the job offer is not revoked, I would really like to just ask before the ball really gets rolling.)
If it's relevant, this is for a minimum wage type of job, but I do care about it a lot. But also want to go on my epic 2-week trip (I am burnt out from being alive).
I stayed up eating until 2AM last night and now I'm not hungry at all. I'm actually pooping right now, so not in the mood for food. I've been fantasizing about all the things I can eat today, since I didn't have time yesterday to go out to get them. But I'm not even in the mood anymore. Yet I wish that I was hungry, I wish I had cravings now that I have time to act on them. I want to have a normal day and go back to my life, but I also want to eat until I'm in pain like I did last night. I'm thinking of going out and stocking up so I can poison myself after dinner because I always get cravings then. What the hell.
Let's say I'm in a long line for a show, I compliment someone's shirt and we start talking. Until the conversation dies. Do we just ignore each other for the rest of the time we're in line? Attempt to revive it? Do we say bye at the end? I like talking to other single people in line if they look nice, but it's kind of awkward if we end up not clicking or run out of things to talk about and have to stay in line.
Ok old-timers, I probably sound like an unknowing gen Z, but a lot of West Seattle especially going down south (to White Center, Burien, towards Tacoma) feels really "old Seattle" and rock n' roll (grunge might be more accurate, actually, not that I'll ever truly know) to me. Can we get some music recommendations going that embody this vibe, in your opinion? I'll start with a really on-the-nose one: West Seattle Hardcore by Mudhoney.
I know they're not extremely similar, but I really like the classic punk vibes of these bands. I'd describe it like if I owned a punk diner, these guys would be on my jukebox for sure. Would appreciate suggestions of other bands/albums (older ones in particular) I should get into.
I HATE it when a specific version becomes out of stock everywhere when I could've bought it at market price but chose to wait/had the album grow on me later. For me it's Joy's Hello. I'd love to hear your horror stories of sleeping on a good album/merch for a little too long.
Final interview (for an office job) was on Wednesday; the interviewers said I'd hear back by Friday since they have other people to interview, but I've gotten nothing. Is this a pretty solid sign that I didn't get the job? I thought it went well :(
I've got a lot of spare time on my hands recently, and I want to really woodshed and improve as much as possible. I'm curious what the daily practice routine is like for those of you who put in a lot of hours each day.
Long story short, I don't want to SWE anymore, but all my work experience is in SWE. I think I know the answer to this question, but posing it anyways: does anyone have any experience getting hired in a non-SWE technical role with this kind of history?
TLDR; lowkey giving up on working towards my career since it all feels pointless and I'm so apathetic about it all that I'm just living my life doing hobbies and pretending like it's not a huge problem.
I'm in my 20s, unemployed, former software engineer who hates it and am trying to pivot into cybersecurity/IT instead. I've been passively grinding certs and learning stuff (I don't enjoy it, but it's a goal). Still seems pointless because it really seems like no one will hire me without the experience. People tell me to just "get any software engineering job" but that's no walk in the park either lol. I can't get myself to study for coding interviews because of apathy, and overall I just feel like I can't do anything well enough to get hired over anyone else.
There's life stress too... my neighbor's dog barks all day and night; I'm tired all the time, I can't hear myself think, and I'm miserable living here, but moving out would be crazy while unemployed. I'm honestly so done that I've just been spending as much time as possible out of the house being addicted to progressing on my hobbies and exercising because those are the only things I care about and they get me out of the hellhole I call home. Obviously this is not helpful in the job area and not sustainable, but I guess I'm crashing out by turning a blind eye to the financial situation (it's ok right now since I have savings. But not for forever). I'm totally done and lost and don't want to give up my hobbies atp. What the fuck should I do
