Girlfriends, going to the bathroom together, spending a lot of time in there? 🧐 The team is going to start some rumors...

At my last interview, I was already making 10k more than their ceiling. I just said "my current salary is x, I'm not looking for a pay raise but could you match it?". They did! I think it was a one two punch of showing off my worth with having a high salary but also being humble by not asking for more. It also helps to approach it as a matter of fact yes or no question and not as a negotiation.

Being a teenage girl in the 50s must have been awful. I've also seen a lot of ads from that era for girls that are too skinny and need to gain weight. The acceptable "pretty" range must've been really small.

Accounting is a goddamn mess. There's lots of mistakes in accounting, finance, banking, etc but we're supposed to act to outsiders like they never happen. Publicly traded companies (US) get audited every year, but no audit company would give a paying customer a failing grade. New grads are funneled into working for public firms - the 10 or so companies that cater to the world's audit, tax, and consulting needs. They're supposed to teach discipline, but in reality they only teach you security theater. You're worked to the bone until you either burn out or agree to perpetuate the system to keep your job.

And the only reason it continues to work is society's social contract agreeing that it has to work because we don't have any other options. All it takes is the rumors that the idea is failing - like in the silicon valley bank run - and we're all out of luck. With the speed of information these days all it takes is a few minutes for a situation to spiral out of control. It's bonkers.

I got into accounting because I enjoyed bookkeeping in high school. Now that I'm in it I refuse to work for anything larger than a mid sized, non public company.

Aslan didn't allow the oldest girl into "heaven" with the other kids in the last book because she... checks notes... wore makeup and liked boys. C S Lewis got reeeal puritanical towards the end of that series.

In your android settings, go to network & internet > advanced > private DNS and paste the link dns.adguard-dns.com into the box. All ads will assume you have no Internet connection. Doesn't appear to work on YouTube, but covers anything from the Google Play store banners/videos/etc.

This looks 100% normal on mobile. What platform are you using?

"Female" as an adjective describes gender.

"Female" as a noun is typically used by incel communities to refer to a woman as an object, not a person. In this context, it is either used to identify women as a sex object or to imply that her emotions/needs/feelings don't matter because she's not human. Coded language in English is called a dog whistle, meaning it's a secret way for someone to say how they really feel when an idea isn't socially acceptable.

These giant images you keep using contribute nothing and make it harder to read a thread. Kinda funny that you're the one posting "shit advice award" and "blocked" when the only thing you're contributing is a bad attitude.

Wait, THAT was the issue? (I thought it was another program that got sold, and the new owner bundled it with malware or something.) Is there something wrong with MuseGroup? I've been using MuseScore for ages.
