I have a crush on TotallynotJessica.
Because I was complaining just last night about how I’m definitely gaining weight now, and no I won’t stand on the scale to confirm, but I can just tell from the way my clothes are fitting, and it’s “so unfair because I’m not even eating anything rich or carb heavy, and I exercise every day”. Then literally the next day I get up, eat chocolate, watch YouTube videos, do zero exercise, then fall back asleep.
I dunno. This seemed as good a time as any to get this off my chest.
I ate chocolate today and I’m feeling really guilty about it.
Sounds like this guy was someone’s nephew.
You’re getting stuck on my failure to read the summary because you thought this was an opportunity to make someone feel stupid online. The fact is that I did read it, and the article, however my brain disregarded the miniscule detail that we’re only talking about the friends part of Bumble because it has no influence on my overall takeaway. Stop being weird.
Authenticity is no less important in platonic friendships.
This doesn’t seem like an important distinction.
It looks like you don’t have a personality yet. Would you like to use AI to generate one for you? Honestly, why are you even trying to date at that point?
Tell OP why their argument is flawed, and upvote the post so it gains exposure among other people who may hold the same flawed beliefs.
The prospect of leaving behind a man’s corpse if I were to die now.
Haven TKL in e–white with the gold PVD plate, SW x Haimu MP Tactile switches, Wuque Studio Aurora Pink stabs, and GMK Pâtisserie keycaps. Sigh…
But muh puddles! Night City is nothing without those gorgeous, mirror–like puddles.

Thanks to the ScreenyWeeny™️, we can’t even trust that anymore.
As others have commented, a gap in your resume shouldn’t even be a part of the conversation since it’s just an absence of anything that would be relevant to the hiring process. Doesn’t mean you won’t be asked though, unfortunately, and I have experience being the candidate with a long gap, so I can tell you how I handled this.
Sitting on the hiring side of the table, my only concern is that you weren’t just twiddling your thumbs. If you had personal matters to take care of, unpaid projects to focus on, family to look after, that is all part of life and none of my business. When explaining my own employment gap, I was frank about how my previous appointment had taken its toll on my mental health, and that I wanted to reconnect with other aspects of my life before taking on another role. I didn’t go into any specifics, but made sure to mention that part of this time was spent studying stuff that’s relevant in my field and exploring emerging technologies.
No matter how long a gap, it’s not something you should acknowledge or attempt to explain in your resume or cover letter, and it’s not something you need to bring up yourself in the interview. My view is that it’s bad etiquette to even ask, and you should try to adopt this mentality yourself so that you project confidence if you have to answer the question. You have nothing to hide or be ashamed of. Your life is more than your CV.
This is exactly my take as well. The means by which you got your CV on my desk is irrelevant to me. In fact, the CV itself is like the pretty picture on a bottle of wine that persuades me to choose it over the other basically identical pinots. And shorts and a t–shirt looks as professional to me as a suit. Actually better because suits give me C suite vibes. I literally only want to have a conversation and see how much you sound like you’ve done this before and know how to not fuck it up.
That’s a heart breaking way to learn your lesson about backups. It must have taken a long time to accept.
