Answered: Is there such a thing as "overqualified"?
  • The supervisor/manager doesn't want someone who knows more working under them. Puts their position into question. It's better for them to hire someone who makes them look vital.

    Why is Pixel Dungeon so underrated
  • It's difficulty it's what makes the game so great. Unfortunately, the general public won't put the effort in to fully enjoy it. I found it by chance about 3 years ago and it's gotten me through some times. It's got more soul than everything else out there IMO. Doesn't matter of its underrated by the public. Those of us who know, know it's worth. It's made for us, not those who wouldn't appreciate it.

    Me to myself everyday.
  • It's rarely about time but rather energetic resources - whether mental or physical. Most of us have the time, but not the energy to maximize it.

    Trump campaign raises record $34.8 million in donations after guilty verdict
  • This makes me think of the sunk cost fallacy. I figure they are so heavily invested at this point that they are doubling down. If they don't have Trump to back their views, they might realize being a bigot isn't cool.

    TIL states that passed laws allowing a married person to seek a divorce without the consent of their spouse saw female suicide decline by 20 percent
  • Sure, but when these laws were passed they were intended to keep women down. Just like women couldn't vote or have back accounts. The fact they still exist, along with more of our rights being reduced, shows the misogynistic intent.

    Google Messages rolling out 15-minute RCS editing
  • "Google Messages will note inline when something has been “Edited,” while the original message will be viewable by long-pressing the overflow menu > View details."

    If you know someone doesn't read their messages right, you could fuck with them by sending responses unfiltered and filtered.

    Example: "that's a stupid idea" and editing it to "I'll consider that"

    Just know that they'll see it, so only do with this with friendly trolling. Or just use it for typos. That's probably safer.

    The Vitamin
  • Fun site I just showed my partner. He's been having ADHD flair up, insomnia, twitching and loss of appetite. For me, it helps regulate stress and anxiety. Low magnesium levels are so common. The world could be a better place if our bodies actually received/processed what we need to thrive.

    how you could be depleting body's magnesium

    hmmm
  • Based on the context, I mentally removed the "n" and was confused for longer than I should have. It's crazy how much the brain can automatically filter details.

    Side of bed debate - Which side is left?
  • Left/right are ambiguous terms.

    Your solution would be a great way to practice spatial awareness. Could get exhausting constantly reorienting to where is north, but would benefit us in any post apocalyptic future.

    Side of bed debate - Which side is left?
  • Nice job renaming stage and audience to bed and standing. I would've used their original terms. Our bed is not a stage and we don't entertain an audience so that would've gotten weird/entertaining at some point.

    And absolutely agree. I was dumbfounded when he said otherwise. There's a good few who agree with the logic. Personifying the bed breaks that logic though.

    Side of bed debate - Which side is left?
  • Fair point. Complicated descriptions may have an exaggeration, but relative to simply left/right it's still mildly accurate. I'm not a sensory thinker so pulling from objects other than what I'm referencing seems like adding a few extra cognitive steps. Silly, I'm aware, but that's my brain.

  • Which side of the bed is the left side? Is the answer based on the perspective of laying in the bed (person's head at the head end)? Is the answer based on viewing it from the foot of the bed, looking at the head of the bed? Is there an "anatomical position" or special terminology like in boating for this?

    For context: My boyfriend and I can't agree on this. We change who gets which side based on the shoulder we'd predominantly sleep on and how it's feeling. This let's us get good cuddles before shoulder pain gets irritated. He comes to bed after me. A while back he asked what side I'm sleeping on. I said "left". Later that night, he comes in and almost lays directly on me because he claims "left" is the other side. Since then we have to describe which side using complicated descriptions.
