I would encourage you to look outside of simple "good v. bad" when it comes to medical sciences, and discourage anyone from doing newobj's research for them, unless a medical professional online here can shed light with proper terminology

then i guess i know what to look for to satisfy myself, I'm not speaking for everyone here, just responding to OP's question

If you're waiting for a sign, here's one:

just get it overwith, you'll be better off.

well, there's less chance of advertisements, and it gets to the point rather quickly

i am not an economist or lawyer and prefer it

i don't have to worry about a writer/editor injecting personal opinions that i could care less about

Better people? that is somewhat insensitive to people who use marijuana for medical purposes. for example i smoke in mornings to avoid nausea from medications and to curb migraines and i work better because of it.

If a more able bodied person is "better" still, I guess you're right, you / employers can be the judge of it; after all, no one would be so blatantly honest about discrimination, be it marijuana use or overall health... there's always another reason to give to a candidate or worker. I have to agree that I don't think more government regulation would help in that regard. But maybe that's based off of my apathy, lol.

Anyways, im hoping you can consider there are reasons to consume marijuana other than just getting fucked up. its not always a reflection of bad character or poor work ethic.

The title should state SSRIs and not antidepressants as there are numerous drug types that can be considered antidepressant (e.g. SNRI, NASSA, tricyclic)

Great point, thanks for your input!

It isn't the only reason, but during my struggle with depression I find it easier to confront things I'm scared of as part of feeling numb. sometimes it helps to feel something rather than nothing at all. coupled with the ideals of "nothing really matters anyways", I've tried to make my apathy useful. I have made progress with my emotions by forcing myself outside of my comfort zone.

Same here, I have severe anxiety and reading the app description made my skin crawl.

To simulate a similar sense of uncontrolled urgency seems masochistic to me...

Yes, I always carry a notebook even in non work situations. It's never been an issue for me as far as transportation is concerned, I just slip it alongside my laptop or other books.

I also have a Samsung Note phone which is useful in the rare case I'm caught without a notebook or pen. I'll re-write any notes to my work notebook as needed.

Thanks for the info!

I wonder if this is intended to be competition with managed Wordpress providers such as WP Engine? the article doesn't distinguish between Wordpress.org (domain.wordpress.org) and Wordpress.com (self hosted) platforms. Perhaps both, with such a large partnership. But in the developer's linked blog post he seems to be referring to the self-hosted platform by mentioning themes and plugins. Very interested to see how this progresses.

The interface is very friendly -- it's so simple that I find it compelling to use. A button press doesn't take any time out of my day or any data I wouldn't want to share. (Hopefully there are no strings attached e.g. video monitoring.)

When they started appearing near my local pharmacy, it was placed next to a stand of toys with giant cute eyes, which drew my attention to the "matching" happy face. Nice job on strategic placement, I thought.

I'm sure you're not the only one. Do you ever worry that your side project won't be as interesting if you ever stop working for the man? "Want what you can't have" and all that?

I would not suggest posting specific dates of when candidates were interviewing without a candidate's consent

I do not know why you're being downvoted. I feel your comment added to the discussion of the article

I also learned recently that sebum production -- and inflammation -- are both complex mechanisms. As with most regulatory systems I wouldn't be surprised if they were linked in some way. But obviously I don't want to claim this in some hand-wavy way. Can you share any reading material you found when exploring the topic?

I have recently started Spironolactone for various PCOS symptoms, including acne vulgaris, so it's of interest to me

Some days I feel disgusted by even participating in the job market for those reasons. I feel there's a very superficial aspect to some lifestyles in Seattle (including my own) that I didn't expect to become so... unavoidable

My stomach feels sick reading the HQ2 updates. It seems so good on paper, and surely it would create jobs and promote infrastructure growth, but... there is something very dystopian about it that makes me want to run away.

So, will they also be screening the legitimacy of subscribers and watchers in those 12 month?

The first thing that came to my mind is that I can't imagine it is terribly difficult to purchase bot subscriptions. Their policy changes to focus on relevant watched hours in a set amount of time could, and probably will, open new demand for purchasing illegitimate traffic as well. Same game, different rules.

I wonder if this policy will be easier to spoof than pure views alone? Surely the risk has been evaluated by the policy makers but I am interested to see how things pan out, and what counter measures against bots/spam they may take as a result.

I don't use Facebook, but I entered my LinkedIn and Github URLs globbed together. Really hoping for some leeway on this verification method. I would be happy to wait until other methods are created but can't say I was not disappointed.

Fair point. It could be a great deal for some depending on lifestyle.

Ah yes, the surprise legacy skeletons in the closet. I am curious -- would you have accepted if the salary was higher than necessary, or if the social environment/work life balance (or any other benefits for that matter) were subjectively better than from other potential employers?

Ouch. I recently turned down an offer that was interviewed as salary then changed to "3 month ish contract" (verbatim) with no guarantee of full time placement. In your case that is terrible they waited until the first day. I guess not all bad offers can be screened just during interviews and negotiation.

This is a major reason why I wanted to hear other people's stories: because it can be so hard to discern what a healthy work environment looks like during the interview process. In your example mentioning 40h+ work weeks is pretty clear though, heh. Thank you for your input and the links, will check out your work.

Completely relatable about going into interviews stone cold after having an emotional meltdown. I often wonder if this forced emotional distance is favorable to interviewers, and perhaps, the successful interviews i have in this mindset appear to be luck/chance because of the distance itself.

The more emotionally detached i am from an opportunity, the less i am thinking about all the work ive done and the associated emotional/mental stress that surmounted to each moment. As a result i probably appear less desperate, less anxious, more confident, and more easygoing.

I also consider the fact that displaying less emotion is more relatable to men. It's a tough spot to be in, but very interesting to reflect on nonetheless.

After apartment hunting for months last year, I came to the conclusion that... a lot of the new apartments being built are tragically boring. Many units are alike -- cave-like, and give the impression that construction was rushed while passing off the design as "urban".

So I found "fancier" places alluring, but in reality they are just apartments with a bit more than the bare minimum design. I sometimes wonder if there is a business scheme behind this contrast but I try not to feed into my paranoia.

Same. Bezos' Balls of fury.

I agree with you and admit I like seeing the arguments behind why a product or corporate entity may appear safer... how much of that decision is a byproduct of advertising and/or brand loyalty?

I've never been to Costco. I didn't realize they had eyewear. I'll make sure to remember that when/if I revisit membership consideration(usually the cost of membership isn't worth it for me as a single person with no kids or family to support).

I can definitely speak to that last sentence. I recently quit my job for various reasons, and way too many responsibilities for a 2 person team was one of them. We had enough work for 6 people, and things were always on fire because we weren't allowed to make infrastructure maintenance a higher priority than shipping the product -- it was excruciating!

Now when I am interviewing, and explaining the breadth of my previous responsibilities, instead of whining about it ("ugh I was sooo overworked") I use it to my advantage ("It was challenging, but I learned a lot, and now I feel I'm better at managing my time/planning skills as a result")

What does the interview process consist of for DevOps/Operations/SRE type roles?
