Not true, I could set up a WordPress blog and start writing reviews. As long as it stays a niche thing I share with a couple of friends online, that “review platform” won’t be gamed or flooded by fake reviews.

My point being that closed “publishing” instances can be reliable.

I feel you. There would be times when I would prefer ordering a delivery to serving a plate of food I have already cooked.

Been struggling with eating disorder for the past few years, and the last year I have been trying (without success) to keep a healthy diet. Ordering delivery online is the biggest issue for me.

Buying groceries that I know I am going to throw has helped a lot. The shame of throwing rotten veggies has motivated me many a time to start cooking whatever is left before it’s rotten, I view it as trigger to cook. Also, not having groceries can be a barrier to cooking.

I have trouble accounting for all the effort required to prepare a dish. Tasks like washing the dishes, buying groceries, cutting vegetable, etc take time and energy. If I don’t plan for those, I will get tired at some point and completely give up cooking.

When everything seems too hard, I try to do something small. Usually, this is washing a couple of spoons or glasses. Sometimes this is enough to trigger my fixation and get buttload of work done. Because, this is not consistent my trick is doing often with zero expectations so I don’t get discouraged.

Now, I am trying to constantly build excitement for cooking. It’s a new experiment, but the idea is that if I have triggers around me that will remind me I want to cook, it make it easier for me to cook. I have installed a mirror on my living room (I don’t like my shape right now, and that feels motivating somehow), and next I will pick some posters to hang around the house.

Thanks for the question, I hope I am able help even the tiniest bit.

omg, I am terrified of this happening to me. I have been looking for a specialist since March. It’s so fucking hard to trust someone when most people are pretty much ignorant of ADHD.

Fuck, I am getting older.

I created my account during high school, now I am 25.

To be honest, I am grateful for the journey. I found Reddit when I needed it, I was spending too much time on 9gag and wanted to find something more productive to waste my time on. Reddit was, and still is, more than that.

TwoXChromosomes and gonewildstories are two subs that literally redefined my person.

I haven’t deleted my account, nor do I plan to. But, I haven’t used Reddit since my birthday on June 12th. I have been into the idea of the fediverse long before I first read about it, and I am here for the long run.

First of all, this post got me a bit worried about your mental health, is it possible you are under a lot of stress lately?

You are expressing something that I have been thinking too lately. Third parties, aka recruiters in this case, cannot be impartial if they are paid by one of the parties involved.

If you have an issue with your employer, you don’t go to the HR, you get a lawyer. A person fully representing your interest, equipped with the knowledge to actually do that.

I think the same should be the case for employment seeking. It’s not that you cannot build a network of colleagues, keep up with market trends, navigate legalities, and identify whatever new bullshit benefit companies are offering. But, delegating this job to a person/entity that specialises in it would most of the time be better.

Last but not least, I don’t think the term recruiter is appropriate, and I believe transitional recruiters are not going to be willing to help you.

Best wishes on your effort!! Please keep us to date, I am interested to see where this leads!!

I won a competition during university, we had to implement a sorting algorithm with MIPS, however required the least cycles to run won.

I need someone to be impressed by me today, even if it’s for something stupid I did almost a decade ago.
