Put your part completed degree on your CV with a caveat like its pending or incomplete. It should get you passed the initial screening. Then it's on you to pass the tech test. Expect to fail many before you get good at them

Surprised nobody mentions the smell. A heady mix of piss and weed

Which ocean? People used to think this about raw sewage discharge. Check the state of UK beaches

Don't hate yourself. If you can go a few weeks at a time that's good. Better than me. You are certainly better off for that. Blowing off is not all bad. Maybe feeling shit for a couple of days is a price worth paying for decompressing once a month? I'm not advocating that I would love to stop but at the same time... I also like it and it's part of my culture. Do your best, limit yourself, feel good for your achievements not bad about the failures

Reveal please

I would also go that far

"But in the majority of life situations, like business or political meetings, there is no humor at all"

That's your problem right there

I genuinely worry about this community when after >100 comments nobody has said "k9s"

>social stigma traditionally associated with childlessness

poor thing has a bit of a chip on his shoulder

If everyone stopped using Facebook then the problems with Facebook would stop

Every few years? My experience is more like every 6 weeks in the winter. Even with lock down I have caught the second cold of the season. I am guessing you don't have kids

Absolutely! Snatching those gaps for clean up means you are not faced with total carnage once the meal is finished. It is clearly more efficient

Without trying to trivialise this - it's a problem I have had and its an easy rut to fall into. Work can be a nice place to hide. However the solution is quite straightforward - stop. Work is not crack, it's actually pretty easy to not do when you try. Just don't do it. 5.30pm and you think about the next thing? Stop. 8pm and you think about opening your laptop? Stop. 6am and you think about getting up and looking at some code? Stop. If you are trying to hide in work it's probably not work that is the issue.

I estimate 98% of all cigarettes I smoked in my life I did not enjoy. I could never explain why I smoked the horrible things

I think that was meant ironically but I agree it was a little strong. as for the speed question - the point is it may go faster in theory at some point whereas the TGV does go really fast now and is (in my limited experience) excellent value for money and a much better way to travel than flying

Turn it off?

not sure spouting unfounded assertions about the "cognative brain" is helping. spending 5-7 hours a day on social media is a massive waste of time though. of that there is no doubt

"go the agile way and to not do any plans"

hopefully this was a joke

it's frivolous because it's silly to think that eating a large amount of anything with total disregard for healthy nutrition won't result in some kind of unhealthy outcome

yes some aspect of this dudes diet was coming for him. he made it interesting by eating a ridic amount of licorice (?)

this guy was eating a bag of sweets (candies) a day. had recently started a licorice binge and collapsed eating a fast food lunch. I think his nutrition was all sorts of fucked up and if the licorice didn't get him the coronary heart disease would have

use grammerly... oh grap

it's an adjective. I go Viking I am not a Viking

it's not explicitly stated but it's fairly clear that the comparison is with Scandinavians

Confirming that you are not a Viking but that you go Viking. Fairly obvious when you consider this is an "ing" adjective

welcome to the world of grown ups. there is effin and jeffin everywhere
