ok, so I'm browsing job openings on LinkedIn. I select a filter "entry level". almost every position lists ~5 years of previous experience as requirement. so what is this - a failure of a filter or the stupidity of the recruiters/companies?

something to know about the space exploration by the ussr:

@port_rhombus don't know about Libby app, but Seattle library website easily sends e-book to kindle. and you return in two clicks from kindle itself. they also have othe e-reader options

@port_rhombus
oh, this is wonderful and helpful. thank you so much!

@port_rhombus
I don't like reading from the phone, but.. libraries actually have e-books to borrow, from your chair at home. I've taken advantage of that and now do it whenever possible.
I only buy books from living authors, to support them. if it's a classic, I try to find a way to read it for free (library, friends, free e-books etc). unless I want the illustrations. then it's a bookstore heh

@port_rhombus
frankly, I did not try anything else yet, but now considering Barnes & Noble for my next e-reader upgrade. I've heard their CEO did a good job at improving the situation by respecting the readers. might give them a shot for good work.
the physical books I buy rarely and mostly from our small local shop.

@port_rhombus
the only problem that is left remains kindle books because I use Kindle for around 4 years now. but I started using local library way more recently, whenever possible (they do have most e-books available for rent)

@port_rhombus
depends on what I'm looking for. clothes is mostly uniqlo, shoes are by brand websites, presents - I always buy at Etsy from small Ukrainian shops (I'm Ukrainian, doing it since I moved to the US) or sometimes US shops (like eco friendly cosmetics, plants, etc).
We also heavily go to Winco and Ross. that's probably it (husbund is using eBay). I'll check out shopify, thanks for the tip!

@port_rhombus
I also used only smile. used website for all purchases. started doing that when my fav charity said that it's their highest income source (it's a small breed specific charity). just got the news. now I'm going to reduce any purchases at amazon to a minimum. very disappointed but not surprised.

@th3j35t3r drama triangle is addictive and requires real work to get out of it.

Reminded me of the "fire upon the deep" by Vinge

@duglop
My younger dog is exactly like that. If I offer him a treat after picking up his poop he makes a face full of disgust & can refuse the treat completely. He also refused to walk past the place he pooped. This is the first dog I meet that is like that

somewhere in 2012 I visited Redding, UK. On one of my nights out I got lost. In addition, I really needed to use a loo. so, I seriously needed to get back home. I lived in a residential area, where lots of private homes were located. it was around 11 pm. an elderly gentlemen having a late evening stroll stumbled upon me. He was around 70-80yo. He helped me out and saved me.
My point is - help others, be grateful for any help provided, as small as it can be. You can always be a hero. #wholesome
