Positive Affectivity Puns

I have posted here a few times as I encourage this movement and love the stance that everyone is taking on their livelihoods.

I am a mid 30s CPA who is a Controller and makes good money to support my family.

I have recently been contacted NOT by recruiters but by HR depts of companies asking if I am looking for a new role as they have a Controller position open.

Mostly I’m not interested but I’ll hear them out. When I ask about base comp range I’m shocked to learn they don’t want to say and put it back on me by saying “what do you think this role would pay?” or “let me know first what it would take to make you move”.

This is most likely because their budget is too low and previous people that they have approached have given them sky high numbers they have shot down.

I pretty much laugh at them and say this isn’t how it works. If you don’t have a range in mind then you’re unprepared to be looking for my services.

I’m sure most of these HR people are bootstrapped by a disgruntled CEO/ CFO trying to get someone quality for cheap. Ain’t happening.

Love this movement y’all!

The 12th house gets a bad rap and it can seem like doom and gloom if you have planets there. For example, textbook descriptions claim Venus in the 12th will have a harder love life, but a more positive interpretation would be that you might have pleasant dreams, or may make very creative art work. Or with the moon there you might feel easily hurt by others suffering; a more positive effect would be that you might be emotionally perceptive or even psychic. Or could even be something simple, like your mom enjoys crystals and tarot.

What are some positive or just generally interesting observations you have noticed on how your 12th house placement affects you?

EDIT: Thank you so much for so many great responses (and for the cute award ❤), its fascinating to read through them all. Its always fun to see how many of us are part of the mystery that is the 12th House Club :)

I for once managed to find solace on social media and realise internet is not as bad as I previously perceived, when used in the right way. When there is a collective goal, people work together and yield amazing results.

Many pepinos are down to earth, hardworking, strong and smart women (and men) who managed to post creative contents 100 times better than the Beacon Hill woman. Not to mention how open-minded you guys are when it comes to the discussion on drugs (from my previous poll on Hillz's preferred drugs)

Much love and lights. ✨

I've thought about it recently and besides making me happier I feel like twice has made me a better and more accepting person :)

Having something to focus my creatively into, to work toward, to feel good about, all those things really helped me get out or at least hold depression at bay.

The big fella has made his return to Detroit a few times, but the fans have not yet been able to react and welcome him back. > > On Friday, they welcomed him back to a chorus of boos which is a little surprising considering he made two All-Star teams as a member of the Pistons. Afterward, the big fella brushed it off. > > “At the end of the day. It’s basketball,” said Drummond. “They’re sports fans here. They’re not gonna cheer for the opposing team. No love lost here. I still love Detroit. At the end of the day, I’m still gonna talk positively about the city. It doesn’t affect me in any way. It’s a basketball game.” > > Considering Drummond has now been in the league 10 years, this is nothing new for him to experience at this point of his career. > > “I’ve been booed plenty of times, he continued. “It’s not that’s gonna affect me in any way…I enjoy it. I don’t really use that kind of stuff. I’m playing for 10 years. I’ve been booed and ‘F youd’ plenty of times so nothing new.”

We've all heard superstitions like seeing three 3 mynahs is an omen of bad luck. But have there been any superstitions, through the following of which, we have affected society on a noticeable level?

Hi,

I am on a lateral move in an sp5 position within CRA, I recently have tested positive for Covid on Christmas Day, I don’t go back to work until 29th December. What are the steps and procedures after letting my TL know? Sorry I’m kind of new

Or just my class position?

Pardon my noob question and allow me to say I'm not obcessed with IR, just trying to make sense of how it works.

I'm confused bc I just finished a multi class (production car challenge) race with 6 cars in my class (Mustangs, me included) and here's the situation:

• Failed to Qualify
• Started in 6th position (last in my class)
• Gained one position at the start
• Spun in the first lap and rejoined in last 32/32
• Finished in 5/6 in my class, 12/32 overall.
• My IR was 1372
• The four drivers in my class that finished ahead of me had IRs in the 2500+, #1 was in 5000s
• Driver behind me in my class ending in 6th position in my class had IR in the 800s
• I lost 21 IR points in that race

I got two incident with my spin in the first lap and zero more throughout the rest of the race.

I cleanly, patiently and respectfully passed 14 cars, 6 other cars spun ahead and I passed them the while they were off track.

Why did I lose so many IR points?

It's not very "economically conservative" to ignore it. If you're planning on being alive in the next 10 years you are paying for this. We are all paying for this.

Hey all!

I am writing an article on the topic of the pandemic, working from home and how flexibility has improved the day-to-day for folks with physical disabilities. While I am drawing from my own experience (I wear a BK prosthetic daily), I also would like to hear and, if possible, maybe add other people's take or experience on this topic.

So, did anybody here make the move to WFH during the pandemic and felt any positive/negative impact dealing with your disability? Do you think it should be permanent?

All input is welcome here or through DM's!

###Hey guys I decided to take a look at how having the top scorer in the league affects your position and how likely it is to help you win the league. Along the way, I have also included how having many different goal scorers that contribute throughout the season (minimum 5 goals) helps the team's position. Some things that I found were quite shocking to me. I used data from the last 10 years for the top 5 leagues which means there are a total of 50 league winners here. At the end of every league, I have added a quick summary of what stood out to me in that league and at the very end I have given some things that stood out as a whole. Hope you like it.

#Premier League

• Manchester United in 2012/2013 were the only team in EPL where the league winners had the top scorer.

• Tottenham are the only team to have the top scorer and not be in the top 5. They were 7th in 2020/2021

• City have had multiple seasons with 5+ players to score 5+ league goals. Liverpool is the only other winner or runner up that had more than 5 and it

Hey everyone!

After experiencing a substantial improvement in quality of life for my BK amputation after making a switch to working from home, I started to wonder if others had felt the same experience, so I decided to try and write an article about it for a local publication.

I am wanting to hear from others in this community that may have also moved to a WFH setting. Has this change helped you manage your disability better? Has it had any negative impacts? I really want to add the experience of others in the community to this, as it is not always understood just how much more inconvenience having a prosthetic can add to otherwise mundane things like getting ready in the morning.

Any and all input is welcomed here or through DM's!

This question is purely out of curiosity and sorry if its completely dumb Im not very knowledgable on neuropharmacology.

Usually if you take a euphoric drug daily and become dependent, the withdrawals are dysphoric. If you took a drug that was dysphoric daily, would the withdrawals be euphoric??

We read about so many tokens having various utilities, but to me it feels like, regardless of whatever real world utility that’s already taking place, it never seems to affect the price and the price still moves based on btc/market or pure hype.

One crypto I’m referring to is DOT. They already completed their first batch of parachain auctions in which millions of dot has already been locked up. I get the feeling that even if none of these parachain auctions were taking place, DOT would still be at the exact same price point. Why is it that with all these parachain candidates locking up DOT for the auction, and some winners already in process of getting onboarded, DOT is/was still moving with the normal market trend? I’d expect it to be on a run similar to LUNA right now.

Does a crypto’s utility substantially increase volume that’s reported on CMC or Coimgecko?

Have you realised something positive? Changed in a positive way?

View Poll

As the topic says, which girls' votes/fanbases will be most affected by the interim results? Did the release of the interim results persuade you to switch your vote?

Cnetz on douban are predicting that Su Ruiqi and Fu Yaning are in the most danger from this interim release, especially FYN who has a large Japanese fanbase - there are lots of comments suggesting that her Japanese fans may panic switch to voting for Mashiro or Hikaru instead. As for SRQ, 9th is a dangerous position - right at the very edge of qualifying for the group - but it isn't quite enough to muster up the kind of panic votes that say, Shen Xiaoting might get.

I expect SXT fans who thought she was safe to mass switch back to voting for her, since no one expected her 1P fandom to be this weak. Mashiro might also go up with Japanese fans switching their votes to her. And I guess international fans who were splitting their votes between K and C/J trainees might switch to voting for their C/J pick instead?

I find if I lay on my right side or on my stomach I am guaranteed to have the lightning pain and send my leg numb.

It used to be laying on my left will stop any painful stabs but now sometimes I get pain too but not as much and not a strong.

Laying on my back is usually pretty safe.

I like to rest my legs up high while sitting (foot rest, side of couch) but this seems to cause a lot of tension around the area whether lightning pain happens and eventually I will get stabbing pain repeatedly instead of just one. I really like sitting in that position but it just hurts too much right now.

TL;DR: your team's overall rating determines your players performance in game. You can check your team's ratings by going into Team Sheets, then Import Team Sheets.

I just did an experiment of 6 matches against a Liverpool side. They are currently rated 87-86-85. I ran 3 matches with team sheet A, and 3 matches with team sheet B.

Experiment on: FIFA 22 - World Class difficulty

#Important: team sheet A and team sheet B have the same starting XI, but different substitutes.

Team sheet A rating: 88-85-88

Team sheet B rating: 83-86-90

The difference is due to the substitutes. Team sheet A was full of fresh youth academy graduates on the bench, rated in the 70s, pulling down the average. Team sheet B had the highest rated substitutes.

My attackers consist of a front 3 (CF, LW, RW) with pace and dribbling in the 90s. Basically 2010 Messi in terms of pace and dribbling, and they control exactly like that against lower rated teams.

Now on to the experiments against Liverpool rated 87-86-85:

With team sheet A, my attackers were slow and sluggish. They took heavy touches when dribbling, and were extremely slow on the acceleration. Their top speeds were slower than the opponents' CBs. I think many of you here know what I'm talking about, when your attackers with Messi-esque stats at full stamina dribble like 70 rated CBs. At my skill level, I couldn't beat the defenders with through balls and dribbling. Remember that team sheet A has an attacking rating of 83.

Switch over to team sheet B, with an average attacker rating of 88. Now my attackers were back to their old selves. Obviously, my skill level is the same as when I played with team sheet A. This time, though, I was frequently dribbling past their defenders, and my attackers were significantly faster when catching on to through balls. Liverpool's defenders are no slouches either, but my 90-99 pace forwards were able to outrun them comfortably enough to have enough space to shoot properly and score.

All that changed was the team's rating, affected by the substitutes sitting on the bench. Guess I'll have to keep my youngsters in the reserves for competitive matches from now on.

Try out this experiment yourselves guys. Especially if you have world class players with 90+ pace and dribbling, because this is where the difference is most obvious when you're controlling them. Try one setup that does not mess with your team's attacking rating, then try another setup with low rated substitutes, tanking y
