This man owns a shoe shop and sure knows a thing or two about shoes. I enjoy watching his videos.

Hello, John.

I interviewed for a job today. I felt it was going well until I asked how they saw "work/life balance" there. They avoided answering how many hours employees work in a week, but they gave me the impression that they frequently pressure people into working overtime. They tried to make up for this by bragging that they allow people to take a break for a couple hours if they have a dentist appointment or something. They also highlighted the fact that they don't allow people to continue working past 10PM. I was shocked that they felt this was even worth mentioning.

The cherry on top was when they asked me to complete a 4+ hour homework assignment before I'd be considered for a second interview. This confirmed that they have no respect for my time, if there was any doubt. I've lost all interest in the position.

Have you interviewed with any shitty companies, John? What was it like?

I need to pee, but before I got up, my roommate went and used the toilet, and now they are showering.

Luckily I can hold in my pee and wait.

I'll wipe, quickly wash my hands, and leave the room then come back after they are done to flush.

Pets in general aren't a good idea. Too many pet owners are urban dwellers whom only get a domestic animal to smother their feelings onto against their intrinsic will.
The only reason why dogs are oversold is because people suck at inter-human relations.

Watching people literally smothering their pets, and you see the animal doesn't want to be there, makes me really uncomfortable actually. It is like they tried forcing themselves on people, failed, and then moved to force their love on an animal. It is like these people can't take a hint.

I could vocalize my discomfort, but it's always ignored.

Hello John,

I've recently taken up making sourdough pizzas as a hobby; although not particularly complex by any means, it is still nonetheless fascinating to realize that you can produce such an intricate dish using nothing but flour, water, salt, cheese, and tomatoes.

I'm not sure I'd like sourdough pizza. I think I'd find sourdough better for sandwiches.

If this happened to you, how would you respond?

l have studied cell biology for all my life.

2 years ago (late 2019): leave PhD program during my 5th year with my masters since my lab decided to stop working on my research and simply take it for themselves

Since then: no job offers or responses on 1000+ applications. No income.

I have a handle on my situation . But I'm wondering if anyone has any salient advice for me. The advice I get from the people in my life has been completely unconstructive. So I'm seeing what advice bots have.

Something to do while I nurse this tequila.

Background: bachelor's from John's Hopkins university in cell biology. Worked in several cell biology laboratories for free during high school and college. Graduate research was in cancer cell metabolism at a major metropolitan university. After 4 and a half years, laboratory stopped working on my project and after 9 more months I left with master's degree since they made it clear they were going to waste time until I left.

I haven't had a single job offer in my field or outside of it in the two years since. Many (1000+) many job applications.

Saddly I can't, if you understand. Then you know why. I ain't looking for symphony ( that time it was a joke ).

Got friend who got his chem. deg. went to look for work. crap shit like basic lab tech trained monkey.
After failing the frist three he popped round to see me chew the cud and he mentioned what had happened .
I told him he had over prepepped. Done to much research for the job, went back and asked his teachers about each job.
Then I told him to dumb down on the next one as the people interveiwing you. Will be looking at you going this guy is goning to my job in the next five years. He was top of the year/class , had won a small award.

So he dails it back a bit. Gets the next job. Holds that down for couple of years. Then quits to do and gets his masters.
which lead into a job. Leaves there to do doc. get that works for part of the gov. Ain't into it, leave comes back home to look after his Mum. Gets second top job at the frist place he worked.
Bitchs about all the young kids with deg.'s who thought that a dumb bit of paper was going to be their ticket to be intanstly rich and how they do half arsed work that he has to end up doing.

Now he's doing something else with doc. in chemistry.

What does VN has instead of level design?
You know various game genres and most of all have it's own
levels. You have played enough to have own opinion and feelings about computer games. And on most of them you are moving behind different objects, fighting, talking, racing, trading with and against different characters and machines. There is designers work behind level creation and object placement of them. Strong professionals also take care about the golden ratio, you can see it at least in Quake, Sin, Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2, Amid Evil, Ion Fury.
But when it comes to visual novels, it breaks the common structure: levels are bunch of text and images. And when it comes to level design in this game genre: what matters? And what does this design really represent as work, as process and as an object placement?

John is right, try to see it as a novel instead of a game. It is in the name, after all.
