    So many times in my early career, recruiters specified that my resume had to be in .doc rather than .pdf. One of them even said that it was so they could remove any identifying factors before sending it to their clients.

    I wish I’d been canny enough to recognize that as a red flag.

    edit: I’ve since written a script to generate a pdf resume from a yaml file. Good luck with that, recruiters!

    Lemmy uses markdown for formatting. If you’re unsure how to do something, you can look up “how to x in markdown.” For example, a DDG result for “how to embed images in markdown”:

    https://www.markdownlang.com/basic/images.html

    That site has lots of other markdown tutorials if you’re inclined to browse. If you want to experiment with the syntax away from the public eye, there are plenty of editors that will show you live what you’ve created. Many options for doing this locally on your system exist, but so long as you’re not working with sensitive data, I like this online option:

    https://markdownlivepreview.com/

    Also, some (but certainly not all) Lemmy clients have buttons that will generate the right syntax for you.



  • Not quite as long as you, but I’ve also been doing so for a long time. I’ve probably shaved my groin more often than I have my face at this point. I’m still pretty awful at it.

    • I’m morbidity obese, so the reach isn’t always easily quite there.
    • Because of the obesity, it’s really only feasible to shave standing up, but I broke my ankle and hurt my spine a while ago, so it’s already difficult to stand up for any period of time.
    • I’m right handed, but I’ve dislocated my right shoulder fourteen times, so I can’t always make that hand/arm do what I want.
    • I’m pretty uncoordinated with my left hand and have arthritis in that shoulder, which isn’t a huge limiter, but still complicates things.

    I just do my best and hope that, at worst, it doesn’t itch for me and is not actively unpleasant for my partner. Generally speaking I don’t expect anyone else to look at or interact with the area.


  • I loved that movie at the time. Wonder whether I still would.

    One thing I remember about it is that they actually cleared out Times Square for that one shot. I didn’t recognize it at the time, but on reflection, that’s pretty impressive.

    I still like the line “I will tell you in another life when we are both cats” and occasionally describe myself as a "pleasure delayer.’

    edit: Also I remember thinking it funny that two of the leads had very different versions of “cruise” as their surnames.

    If I have to mislead someone, I don’t want to be in that situation. Polyamory isn’t my way, but I don’t see anything wrong with it … So long as everyone involved is aware of, and has agreed to, the arrangement.

    I haven’t met many polyamorous couples (edit: I guess “couples” isn’t right, “polycules”?), but of those I have, the primary issue is that one of the parties has agreed under some form of duress. That’s obviously not okay.

    My personal philosophy has always been that everyone involved must provide informed consent and no permanent damage, especially physical, may be caused. There will always be outlying concerns, but those are the things that seem to matter to me.

    edit: Posted this and reconsidered “especially physical.” I think I was thinking that because it’s easier to quantify. Mental well-being is hugely important, which is why aftercare matters.

    All of these responses are suggestions about how to get away with it with varying degrees of cleverness. I don’t mean to be all holier than thou, but one reason I’ve stuck with not lying for decades is that, if you don’t, you needn’t keep track of stuff like this.
