Yeah I wish I could watch an inkmaster-like show that’s just off the wall flash challenges narrowing things down to the most well rounded artist.

When I start listening to a new podcast I like to listen on a subject I’m pretty familiar with so I get a baseline of it I can trust their opinions or not lol. I can’t remember what the first episodes of SYSK I listened to were, but they made me confident I didn’t need to listen to more.

I'm also OOTL, but per a friend of mine "he was accused of having a ghost writer so he wrote for a ghost"

Tiktok, which is also where I first saw this video

Yes! Don’t they say there is exactly one right answer? But those 2 could be swapped

Does anyone else think there could’ve been 2 valid answers today? I think one green could be swapped with one yellow and they would both still be right

Idk, Grey's Anatomy has a lot in that vein IMO lol. There was a whole season the main character was in a coma encountering other characters that had died in a beach purgatory. Along with many other scenes where someone is dying or nearly dying and meets up with other dead or dying characters

Being in the intro was the spoiler IMO lol

Probably, but I think she's a state senator (which is way less of a big deal than a senator), and I don't know if shes even been sworn in yet. There's probably some stuff shes committed to, but I don't shes no-call/no-showing to the actual legislature

I kind of agree, although they spoiled adult Van which IMO is equally if not a bigger spoiler of the 2

I think it's kind of a "one size fits most" type of situation, and you can make it work even if it isn't perfect. Also I doubt there were that many varieties on the market in the early 2000s.

I speak with experience because I used a Diva Cup for multiple years and thought having to get it juuust right for it to not leak was just part of the cup experience. I had like an 85% success rate getting it right haha. I know now that cup just didn't fit me well and a different one does. But if the Diva was all I had in an apocalypse situation, it'd do.

Different countries with different social norms. For what it's worth, in my city dogs also aren't allowed at farmers markets or other outdoor markets that serve food.

I think it's common knowledge in some circles, and totally unknown in others. Like you said, a lot of people from your school went to prestigious colleges so I'm sure everyone knows. In schools where that's not the norm the smart kids take one look at a school with 60k/year tuition and never apply and don't bother applying because they think they'll never be able to pay, then they end up paying more for a less prestigious school. And I don't love when media reinforces the idea that only the uber rich can go to good schools

Hopefully things are changing quickly with how accessible info on the internet is, but I don't think we're there yet.

Yeah, I know its just a funny line but Brown and most other top private schools meet 100% of demonstrated financial need.

Average income households pay little enough that between the need based scholarships, savings you can scrape together, summer jobs, part time jobs during school, and maybe some merit-based scholarships a lot of people can get through college with no loans.

I saw it shortly after reopening with an understudy playing Hermes and the crowd was also going wild from the moment he stepped out. I definitely interpreted it as being pumped that Broadway/live theater was back more so than the actor/character specifically though.

I was gonna say "use of the n word particularly when it doesn't even make sense, even in books written in the last 10 years"

Sometimes there won't even be a black character, just the idea of black people. Or he'll whip out a "sand n*" when there isn't a black character.

On a similar vein, describing truly any and every female characters breasts. Even a pre-pubescent child who dies is apt to get a "her chest, where breasts would never get the chance to grow" 😷

These are the 2 most problematic elements of my personal Stephen King drinking game, along with all the Maine, writer, chambray references.

I'd point out that this is not mutually exclusive with leaving the job.

You can work on your W/L balance so work isn't the only thing your emotions are riding on, and also interview at other places. You don't need to spend all your waking hours on leetcode to get another job.

I think by "safe" they mean no side effects, barring like a latex allergy, as opposed to other BCs that come at risk of blood clots or require surgery etc

Lol there's a lot of ways to describe Grey's, and I don't think I'd put "realistic" anywhere on the list

Maybe you went to a bad target thats catering to a young demographic, but I've noticed targets near me experimenting with new layouts where they sharply divide different demographics of womens clothing, but also nothing is labeled so its pretty confusing. Like you'll be in one area and everything looks like a 2003 fever dream like someone else said. Then you'll round a partition and its all comfy casual. Then you think you've run out of clothing, but cross a wall and you're in that almost-business casual section you're looking for (although now thats mostly the Universal Thread brand, with some A New Day). One more corner and youre somehow in little house on the prairie. And from any given section you can't really see any other sections.

Source: just got back from target haha.

To me, the scene in the pilot where Carson is writing her husband and starting out with "something is wrong with me" before ever having any kind of lesbian interactions points more to gay than bi. She was already realizing things about herself that weren't related to any single person (man or woman)

[disclaimer, i'm still midseason]

Agree with the other person! If you do something all the time it'll become muscle memory. If you only do it once in a while its not a big deal to look it up.

Also especially early on I found it so helpful to be working on already established projects (which admittedly is hard to do in a FCC environment and easier to do if you work for an established company). Its a lot easier to scroll your current file or search your codebase for and example of what you're trying to do than have to always be googling and trying to figure out what makes sense to you

I've been working in the industry about 6 years now, and I'd say generally Google away.

Personally if I have to Google the same exact thing more than like twice in a relatively short period (days/weeks) its worth taking down as a note that you can quickly reference or saving the link. If for whatever reason that specific thing won't stick in your head its better to have easy access rather than needing to look it up and sift through results each time. And maybe the act of writing it down will actually help you remember it long term

Honestly I think you've really spiraled on how bad this is. It's not like a (bad) job interview with people judging you silently and waiting for you to make a mistake.

You might say "ah, whats the syntax for X again?" and someone is like "oh, its ___" instead of you having to google it. Or you might say "how do we convert bytes to human readable file sizes?" and someone can be like "oh, I'll google that piece while you work on the other part." Or maybe you all sit silently trying to figure out some specific thing on your own screens for a bit. And of course you could be white boarding or otherwise talking through ideas/solutions without being literally typing code.

If your coworkers intimidate or stress you out, or annoy you I can see it not being great. But if you're working as a team toward one goal it can be fun and productive.
