Hmm yeah I might need to look into that, thanks

Hell yeah, I salute you, fellow bidet enjoyer

Good advice, will look into the wipes. More fiber is also good advice for all the westerners who eat the standard American diet (or similar), my shits were way worse before I went vegan and started eating all the

Edit: hmm wait I don't think wipes are considered flushable generally

Despite the knowledge I have of the superior shitting experience, it is apparent I have failed to do the praxis and I do deeply apologize.

I pledge to dedicate my life to making sure every single public toilet has a bidet, thereby making bidets accessible for all in the western world--yes, even for the chuds who can no longer poop properly from their carnivore diets.

It's just too bad no one has invented a thing that can significantly reduce the transmission of viruses and the likelihood of hospital-acquired infections. Maybe a piece of cloth that can be worn over the face and mandated in medical facilities, for instance.

As long as such a thing doesn't exist in the present, best to continue open-mouth toddler coughing in public when feeling under the weather, I suppose.

I forgot to ask, if you don't mind, since you said you're someone who has helped with hiring employees, I was wondering if you had any advice on whether to focus on one specific reason for a gap, or whether to mention all factors. Because in my case, it was definitely multiple factors that have contributed to my gap, between the loss of my father and then caretaking. I'm also feeling like maybe I shouldn't mention anything at all about being a stay-at-home parent but idk.

I really have trouble figuring out the best way to explain the gap if it comes up (which it often does). My hunch says it might be best to just focus on one thing and keep it succinct, mention how it's resolved, and then turn it around and say some shit about how I'm eager to work again and excited for this role blah blah blah, but I'm honestly not sure.

Yeah it's a bullshit field that's is kind of tech related, but it is definitely something that can be done via contracting/consulting/freelancing, yeah

Ah damn, solidarity, my friend. Don't you just love how remote work, something that is far more inclusive than in-person work, was demonized by the capitalists and a shit ton of companies did RTO mandates in lockstep? I honestly never realized how overstimulating and draining in-person work could be for my neurospicy ass until I worked remotely. I wish everyone could have the option to work remotely, if desired.

I definitely have had to take little breaks from job searching due to a bit of burnout as well, can't imagine doing it nonstop for 2 years, damn.

So, I've historically worked in bullshit roles in a bullshit industry that definitely can be done as freelancing, and it is something I've considered putting on a resume before. I actually thought about using one of those freelance sites for real to build a portfolio, but was dissuaded when I heard that it can be really hard to even start nowadays, so idk. But regardless, I could probably get friends to pretend to be clients if I wanted to go that route. Thanks for the advice

Yeah that's a good idea, I've been applying to roles through staffing agencies that are basically the same industry as my past jobs, but yeah, I might need to expand the search a bit since I'm not having great luck so far. But definitely have been looking at contracts, part time, temporary roles, etc.

Hmm okay I've been wondering about this because this is what I'd prefer, since saying something like that is more or less the truth. And yeah that was also kind of what I was thinking as well in regards to a sympathetic workplace, i.e. a place that isn't sympathetic or understanding of a gap may not necessarily be the best environment to begin with. Thanks for the advice

Yep: https://www.foodnavigator.com/Article/2022/04/13/eating-meat-is-less-morally-acceptable-for-kids-than-adults-finds-study

I went through something similar when I was 10. I stopped eating meat once it fully set in that the chicken on my plate was once a living animal that didn't have to die. Stayed vegetarian for many years until I went vegan.

There's that phrase again! :citations-needed:
