I met my fiancé unintentionally on LinkedIn. She reached out as recruiter to try and get in touch with HR at my company and we both had gone to the same university at the same time. She also included a link to her music in case I was intere

As a hiring manager, I care quite a bit about how candidates think of our process BUT I also know that most folks who bother to write something like 'basic human decency' to a recruiter, who usually has little power or status in a

Quite a bit of the people's history of the united states is primary sources. Zinn decided to bias the viewpoint towards oppressed people, the same way many textbooks bias it in favor of the 'winning' party. While I felt like

I wish all the dudes who don't believe women get harassed _all the time_ would take a spin just playing an online game as a woman. Shit is real. I've had coworkers in customer success get messages from stalkers via Intercom like &

When I was a young teen my friends and I picked female avatars on Runescape because we'd get free items from presumably male players. Sometimes you'd have to 'flirt back' but inevitably you'd get some good items, go

I wish I had data on the average length of youtube videos over time. I swear 5 years ago an explainer video or a game review would be less than 5 minutes consistently, which is what I personally want from a platform like youtube, a digestib

I spoke to a recruiter for LTSE a year ago and they were hiring lots of engineers to compete with Carta. I was a bit disappointed with the pitch; sure Carta is useful but I had hoped LTSE was a place to do some really revolutionary stuff. I

Given that we have lots of body cam footage of police brutality now yet haven’t significantly moved the needle on reducing incidences, I’m not hopeful that will make a difference. Maybe incentives for snitching on fellow police would work b

Not in the same boat as you (20/50 lbs) lost but I too had to find the right method for my personality quirks. For me, I need only the healthiest, least calorie dense snacks around and a full fridge. I reduce the situations where I dec

Like others have said, RELAX!!! You don't need to push too hard to succeed. Not rocking the boat (too much) is more important than anything else. You can push teams to greater efficiencies, products to better outcomes, etc. but do this

I find it very difficult to pay attention to video content or audio content without getting distracted or just wanting to turn it off. I wonder if anyone has tips for how to improve my concentration. Funnily, I don't have this issue wi
