Girl on dating app (San jose) asked for “decent dinner” on first date
kaptainYap @ Meta
Then suggested 3 restaurants in san jose that has price range of $$$ (50-150) per person. This reeks of red flag so i told her “those places have 3rd date vibe”, then she blocked me everywhere lmfao
This is like the second girl from San jose i met who want fancy dinner on first date. Do they just like to use guys for free fancy dinner? Why are they so dumb lol

Which race do you prefer working with the most?
PapaElonM @ SoFi
No DEI BS, let’s figure out which race of co-workers you prefer working with. Managers are not included. This poll should be purely objective.

PSA: Having Children
Not___HR @ Google
Dear childless people. Think of the worst, most annoying and frustrating thing you've ever experienced. Then multiply that by 10,000. It won't even equate to a fraction of a percentage of the frustration and annoyance you will feel if you have kids. I want to kill myself. Do yourself a favor. Never have kids.

I’m in the wrong industry
PSY LICKER @ Gusto
If I could go back to college, I’d vigorously pursue investment banking or corporate law. I’d be making $1m at age 30 and $10m at age 40. And my colleagues would be mostly Americans instead of immigrants whom I don’t enjoy working with.
EDIT: should mention I went to an Ivy League college, which doesn’t matter so much in tech, but matters a lot in the client driven industries of high-end finance and law.

Girlfriend doesn’t contribute financially
QT3.1415 @ Amazon
My girlfriend of 1 year earns ~55k and I earn roughly 10x that. She hasn’t paid for a single date or meal the entire time, which makes me feel a bit of resentment about footing the bill for everything. Not even a coffee or dessert or snack here and there.
She has covered her portion of airfare and hotels when we travel, and she does have pet expenses that she (rightly) covers herself.
She will earn 600-700k in a few years when she finishes residency. I know she will contribute more then, but something still seems off because I’ve dated girls with the same salary and they would always contribute in small ways to show they care, even without me asking.
What’s fair in this situation? Should she contribute more financially, even in small ways?

Once this AI grift is over expect massive layoffs

The entire industry has poured over 200 billion into this trend and as a result created new jobs replacing many lost to layoffs 2 years ago. I see a massive plunge in the markets once they realize asking questions to a chatbot isn't going to print them money

Girl gets 10k in cash from working 3 days
GojoJJK @ Cisco
She's a stripper. Just gotta look good, dance, and make horny men happy. No student debt, no nothing. And I bet she won't be reporting her income either so she doesn't get taxed.
Damn, life is so easy. Would you do what she's doing if you were a girl?

Obsessed over future value of money
sndysuf @ New
Today I chose ramen ($16) over sushi ($35) when I desperately wanted sushi. I had to tell the waiter I was not ready 3 different times because I was so indecisive.
I kept telling myself investing the extra $19 instead of spending it could be worth >$150 in 30 years.
This is a very common theme in my life where I am unwilling to indulge. I am completely able to afford it.
Do other people struggle with this too?

No interviews! What's wrong with my resume?
justAnEmpy @ Bank of America
Hi, I've been applying to everything since January and only have received around 3 interviews. I have probably applied to over 1k jobs since then, most never reply back and some give the generic "we have decided to move forward with other candidates that more closely match our current needs" response.
About me/ my process applying:
In NYC, I apply to pretty much any company that fits my description and mostly remote or hybrid positions. U.S. Citizen.

What makes something a sport and not a game?
🦆🦆✨️ @ Capital One
For instance, why is running a sport but not chess?
Running is literally moving from A to B fast. Chess is directly competing against another person.

hmm007.5 @ Walmart
Yesterday I lost a close friend due to very low BP. He suffered a cardiac arrest in the middle of the night due to it. Both of us were in the same team at amazon for 5+ years before we got laid off and moved to different companies last year.
He was just 38! Ambitions, TC, titles, net worth are all good things to chase but the most important thing worth chasing is good health. Sit back for a few minutes and think about whats important in life. He has 2 kids. I pray that his family gets strength to recover from this.

How to be happy?
dilbill @ Lyft
I’m 26F, married. My husband and I met in college, I love him but we’ve been having a tough time. It started after I got laid off last year. It’s been a year and I haven’t found anything concrete. A contract gig for 3 months that pays peanuts..it’s affecting my mental health. I feel embarrassed that I went to a great school, worked at a well known company but can’t get any offer. I’m unhappy most days and rely on my husband for emotional support and it’s stressing him out too. He too works in tech so after a day of work, he has to listen to me rant about the 100th interview that didn’t go well/ or went well but still got rejected.
I want to be happy but I just find it hard because I had high aspirations for my career and now I feel behind. I constantly fear that I won’t be able to get a good job. I was okay the last four days as it was the weekend but come Monday I hate my life again.
Many say I’m lucky my husband earns well and can pay my bills but I feel ashamed that I don’t earn as well as I used to. In fact sometimes I wish wasn’t married so I could be unhappy and not have to care how it affects people around me.

Men and Women are NOT equal
PDyh36 @ ex-Tremor Video
Many people do not get this and make their lives miserable.
This is not supposed to be an offensive post.
I do think that Women also needs to be respected and uplifted in many cases, but specially in relationships(Dating), man has to be a leader(superior) and woman has to be a follower to have a successful relationship.
These differences are due to biological hardwiring of both sexes.
We need to accept this fact to live a fulfilling life for ourselves and our loved ones.
You can live against this fact but, in most cases, your life wont be fulfilling.

Netflix vs Meta
h1bstuck @ Uber
Haven't received the final offer from Netflix yet. Also don't work at Uber currently, I was laid off from a startup earlier this year.
1. How would you compare the culture at these 2 companies?
2. Performance Summary Cycle at Meta vs Netflix perf cycle.
3. TC difference not too much of a concern, but heard Meta refreshers stack pretty well, so it can close the gap.
4. Want a stable job with as less stress as possible.
5. Difference in scope of level
EDIT: Wow didn't expect such a one sided poll!
Meta 1st yr TC: 575K
Netflix 1st yr TC: 550k
Blind doesn't count sign on at all.
For me TC isn't the biggest factor, I want a job where there is less stress about perf, PIP, politics. Both companies are hybrid RTO.
Meta team: high impact org, scale probably 10-100x of Netflix team
Netflix team: newish team, less ppl working on this problem, so probably slightly high impact compared to other teams at Netflix

Girlfriend got offer from FAANG in US and broke up with me
nabo34 @ Novo Nordisk
My girlfriend received an offer from a FAANG company in the US while we live in Poland. She told me that I'm not ambitious and that I'm wasting my life watching football and drinking beer. She said she would be better off alone because I'm holding her back, wished me well, and broke up with me. Now she's moving to the US. She said she wants to own a huge house in NYC and live a dream life, and doesn't want to end up living a mediocre life like she believes I will.
