I don't know if it's like this everywhere, but at my workplace, boys mostly do everything. All the hard work is done by boys, while girls are on the tills 95% of the time, which is much easier for them. I don't like that we get paid the same amount of money per hour for doing completely different amounts of work

Hi guys,

I have a question for people who have been working in this industry for years. I'm a student at ATU Donegal, studying Marketing with Online Technologies. I’ve already finished my first year and am about to start my second year, but I feel like marketing is a dead field and really hard to enter. I can't quite explain what I'm feeling—it just seems useless and pointless.

I've also asked Google, Gemini, and Claude many times about jobs in digital marketing. I don't know what to do. Is marketing hard? Is it possible to find a job after graduation?To be honest, I don't fully understand what digital marketers actually do on a daily basis. What does a typical workday look like? Who actually needs these services, and why do companies pay for them?

Also, does it even make sense to dive deep into Google Analytics 4, Meta Ads, and things like that anymore, or is AI going to replace it all anyway? What would you advise me to do in my situation to not waste my time?

​Hey everyone,

​I’m a 19-year-old guy, currently on Day 12 of my NoFap reset. I’ve been heavily addicted to porn for at least 5 years. Over time, my brain got completely desensitized, and I escalated into shocking/weird categories just to feel something.

Now I’m dealing with brain fog, severe overthinking, and erectile issues.

​I need some objective advice from guys who have gone through a PIED recovery while taking Finasteride.

​Here is my full timeline and situation:

​1. Finasteride & Hair Loss Timeline:

​Jan 30, 2026 – Feb 2026: Started Finasteride at 1mg daily. Experienced zero side effects.

​March 2026 – June 18, 2026: Switched to 1.25mg daily (cutting a 5mg pill into quarters). Still felt fine physically.

​June 19, 2026 – Present: Reduced the dose to 1.25mg 3 times a week to lower any potential risk.

​Note: I do not take Minoxidil or any other hair supplements.

​2. The Current Issue (PIED + Flatline + Overthinking):

Since I started NoFap (Day 12 now), my libido has dropped significantly, which I assume is the classic flatline. My erections don't get 100% rock-hard; they build up very slowly and feel weak/semi-hard (like 60-70%), especially when I try to "test" myself.

​3. The Anxiety / Nocebo Loop:

I’ve caught myself in a toxic compulsion loop: I panic about Finasteride side effects -> I try to "test" my erection using random non-explicit content (like ASMR or mild streams) -> My anxiety spikes -> Adrenaline blocks the erection -> I panic even more, thinking Finasteride ruined me.

​My questions for the community:

​Did anyone go through a slow/semi-hard erection phase during the first few weeks of a NoFap flatline while constantly overthinking?

​Has anyone successfully cured PIED and regained 100% hard-on quality while staying on low-dose Finasteride (1.25mg 3x/week)?

​How do I break the mental urge to constantly "test" whether my apparatus is working?

​Appreciate any insights, brothers. Staying strong on NoFap and keeping my hair is the goal!

Hi everyone,

I really need some insights from anyone who works at Lidl Ireland or knows how their SuccessFactors recruitment portal works. I’m completely losing my mind over this application process and don’t know what to think anymore.

Here is the full story:

May 31st: I applied online for a Part-Time, Entry-level Customer Assistant role.

The extensions & glitch: The closing date kept shifting constantly (first June 12th, then June 26th, then July 3rd). Then, over this past weekend (June 27th), the job completely disappeared from the Lidl Careers site, LinkedIn, and Indeed. I thought it was over. But today, it suddenly reappeared online with the deadline fixed for July 3rd.

Current status: Today marks exactly 30 days since I submitted my application, and my portal status has been stuck on "In Progress" since day one. The "Withdraw" button is still active.

The confusing part:

Another local girl applied after me. She was actually called in for an interview last week (she was rejected on the spot because of her English level). My English is perfectly fine, I have 100% fully flexible availability (weekends, evenings, bank holidays), and I uploaded a great local reference from my previous customer service job. Yet, they never called me or sent an invite.

What I've tried:

I tried reaching out everywhere. I contacted Lidl Customer Care through their chat, and I tried emailing their HR services. Every single channel told me the exact same thing: “HR contact is only for current employees, external recruitment is handled separately, you just have to wait for the hiring team to email you.” So, I am completely blocked from getting any updates from corporate.

Also, a relative of mine spoke to a lady working at that specific store. She kindly radioed the duty manager through her headset and passed my name and phone number directly to them on a slip of paper.

So the store manager literally has my phone number on their desk, the job posting is back online until this Friday (July 3rd), and my portal is still "In Progress" after a full month.

What does this even mean? Are they just keeping me on ice until the final deadline this Friday to interview the remaining pool, or have I been ghosted? Has anyone else been stuck in "In Progress" for a month while others got fast-tracked to interviews?

Thanks a million for any help!

Hi everyone,

I need some advice because I’m losing my mind here. I applied for a Part-Time Customer Assistant role at Lidl on May 31st.The closing date for applications kept changing like crazy: first it was June 12th, then they extended it to June 26th, and then they extended it again to July 3rd.

But yesterday, on June 27th, I checked the website and the job posting was completely gone. It vanished from the Lidl Careers site, LinkedIn, and Indeed.Since the day I applied, I have received absolutely zero emails, zero phone calls, and no updates at all.

But here is the thing: I know another girl who applied after me, and she was actually called for an interview last week! (She was rejected on the spot because of her English level). My English is perfectly fine, I have full flexibility, and a great reference, but they never called me or invited me for an interview.Today is June 28th (exactly 28 days since I applied), and my online portal still says "In Progress" (In Progression).

The job is removed, they never called me, but the portal says I'm still in progress. I don’t know what to do or what this even means. Am I rejected or are they finally going to review the remaining candidates? If anyone works at Lidl or went through this, please help.

Thanks.
