This is a disingenuous comment. Half of the issues pointed out are more than stylistic (activity instead of impact, generic/no prioritization). Even without stylistic issues it's not a compelling resume. And basic spelling mistake

I pay for a ton of sports content across a ton of platforms. I used to pirate a ton of sports across a ton of platforms. I don’t seem to have nearly the same difficulty as you. I wanted to watch the Olympics so I reactivated my Peacock acco

Agree it’s efficient, don’t agree that an untrained person could unbrace double bodyweight. I weigh 90kg and can squat ~190kg. Having that much on my back feels HEAVY. I think if you haven’t built up to it before you will not be able to do

DC, Chicago both have good coverage (I lived in both without a car, although did need busses at times). Boston and SF in my limited experience have somewhat usable networks but definitely a step below

I was shocked at how much even perfunctory messages from coworkers meant when I got laid off. And the folks that offered tangible help have stayed in my mind since. It was the most challenging time in my life and even a simple message sayin

I watch a decent amount of movies, I can count on one hand the number of times I couldn’t rent it for <$5 on Prime or YouTube. I’ve never been unable to identify where I could find a particular movie to stream, and it’s certainly less ef

I have never once gone to a coffee shop where ordering a “medium black drip coffee” has required any follow up or additional choices (beyond occasionally needing to describe the size in ounces), and I go to all variety of coffee shops with

I’ve had a vastly different experience. Several trips in the last year with 30 minutes+ to drop a bag and a couple closer to an hour. That’s enough to move the needle on when I feel like I can show up to the airport. Baggage claim is usuall

I’ve never been asked for ID on a greyhound (~10 trips) or amtrak (~25 trips). I’m sure they both have policies about it on the books, but I’ve never seen them enforced

I'm shocked that this would be a big issue (among all of the beach related climate issues). I've been going to NC beaches for ~2 decades and always bought bottled water and thought nothing of it or that it was just the cost of vis

I don't agree with this - law students still skew more frugal than white collar adults. Definitely less frugal than undergrads - folks coming from the workforce generally have some savings, and I do think there were more students com
