And this is why you never say no to a job posting just because you think you're not qualified. Apply anyway. You might be exactly what they're looking for and be an otherwise great fit.

Every job I've had except for my first retail job I have not met the posted requirements, but I've been able to either learn on the job or proved in the interview process that I know the subject matter despite not having the degree.

Video games. Unless it's a game I play with friends I typically wait for it to drop in price significantly.

This is why when I want to support an artist I purchase vinyl. I get better art than the CD and it looks better on a shelf than a CD. Vinyl isn't about audio quality. It's about collecting, supporting the artist, and the experience.

I noticed the fire and I noticed the tent. I was too distracted by the hands to notice that the fire was in the tent... What has AI images done to me? Haha.

Yeah. The title actually made me think they had rolled out the ability for Google to remove an app from my phone when it's been removed from the Play Store.

Isn't "women" preferable over both terms? Pretty sure if I used the term "girls" around most women I know they'd find it offensive. But most women I know are between 25 and 50 years old.

The firearm is called the great equalizer for a reason.

Because people finance their phones with AT&T, usually without realizing it. "Free" phones and discounted phones are not usually free or discounted. You're forced to stay with them to get the discount off each month. I hate it because I'd rather just pay for my phone outright and be done, but then you actually pay more.

Did some googling. Found this from a reddit thread but the link they gave is broken so I wasn't able to confirm. I believe it might be adult content based upon where the broken link redirected.

The OP scene is in ch.3 pg.9, but it's edited. She actually says, "I want to stay here!"

I remember exiting Windows 3.1 to the MSDOS command prompt and then shutting down.

That doesn't say anything about lethal range. It just says they won't allow it to be lower than the ISS's orbit. It could be because of "lethal range" or it could be that they want as little crap in the way of routes to and from the ISS.

I looked over the article (albeit very quickly) just in case you didn't quote enough of the article on accident and I didn't see anything about lethality. I could have missed it or I'm not reading between the lines (maybe missing their meaning in the article).

DDR or Simiar Game? (sh.itjust.works)

Anyone have any recommendations for a game that's like Dance Dance Revolution? My wife really liked that game back in the day and I am looking to get her it or something like it as a gift.

We have a PS5 and Xbox One S. We also have a Switch that I could get a dock hooked up to the TV, but she usually uses it in handheld mode. If there's not really any options for those systems we also have some older systems in storage while we finish some construction that I could dig out (most systems dating back to SNES).

I met my wife dating online. Before that it was brutal. Lots of ignored messages. Lots of messaging that just ended (often on the woman's end, but sometimes on my end). And plenty of first dates.

When I first started dating I wasn't picky. Basically any girl interested in me, I'd show interest. Eventually I actually applied myself to dating with purpose. This helped a bit as I was often times being the one to make the decision whether or not to even meet up with a woman. I made sure they met my criteria and wanted the same things as I did. And doing this required that I was honest with myself. I didn't want to party, I wanted children, I wanted someone who would challenge me and call me out on my bullshit, but I also needed someone who wasn't overly sensitive as I am often quite blunt and speak without thinking.

Basically I had to shift from wasting my time with anyone to getting right to the point and making sure our values and trajectories in life aligned. This filtered out a lot of women. Either immediately because we didn't want the same things or because they were put off by my directness.
