The essence of online crypto gaming lies in integrating cryptocurrency within gaming mechanics. This means that a traditional game can simply incorporate crypto as a reward method and transform into a crypto game. Some of the best gaming crypto titles exemplify this approach, seamlessly blending traditional gameplay with crypto rewards.
Crypto games can also leverage blockchain for crypto-based assets, embedding real-world financial value into gameplay. This distinction is crucial for understanding the dynamic and promising landscape of crypto gaming. Players can earn real money through various mechanisms, such as earning in-game tokens tradeable for other cryptos or winning tournaments with cash prizes.
In the crypto gaming world, players genuinely own their in-game assets. These assets are stored on a blockchain, a secure and decentralized ledger, allowing players to trade or sell their assets to others or even transfer them to other games. Unlike traditional games controlled by central entities, crypto games offer players more freedom and control over their gaming experience.

I’m looking for a children’s book I had in the 90’s in Australia during my childhood. Each page was fully coloured and well illustrated.
The closest I can find online is a book called “The Book Of Witches” by Ruth Manning Sanders, and I think I remember my book having a similar title to this.
However, from what I can see online, this doesn’t seem to be the same book. The illustrations are different and so is the collection of stories inside..
A few stories I remember that were in there were: The Old Witch, & The Six Swans.. and there was a rhyme or a song near the front of the book about Witches celebrating Halloween, and dancing around a pumpkin patch under a full moon.
The cover was illustrated in dark, bold colours (purple and black from memory) and I’m pretty sure it had Witches, a Cauldron and trees on the front.
It was a very well illustrated book with a collection of classic fairy tales. Brothers Grimm etc. And from memory each one featured a witch.
The book also contained a few pages of rhymes / poems etc about witches that were not connected to a fairy tale but just featured as pages in the book.

Long story short: if you do not have a USCIS online portal account…. MAKE ONE. We could’ve had our green cards MONTHS ago.
I, US Citizen, filed I-130 for my parents and I-485 in July 2021 after turning 21. In the beginning, our cases were going as planned, however we never sent medical forms with I-485 (our lawyer advised us not to- we have now learned how detrimental that has been to our processing time and we are aware our lawyer gave us terrible advice). My parents checked case statuses using their receipt numbers on the main USCIS page and never made an account because we had always received all RFE and additional notices through the mail and didn’t think we needed one. Our I-130 got approved 2 years later on 08/2023 and after waiting a few months with no updates on I-485 (we were waiting for medical form RFE), I decided to seek congressional help in November of 2023. They told us on 11/17/2023 that there are no updates from USCIS and that they will let us know if they need anything. In January, we requested new work permits since my parents’ were set to expire and they were issued about 2 weeks later. I reached out again to congressman 02/2024 and they told me that USCIS is STILL processing our case and will let us know if they need anything.
I have the lawfully and case tracker apps that I check everyday but there were no new updates. So after doing some reddit reading, I decided to make an online USCIS account because it seemed advantageous. We waited 2 weeks for access codes to come in the mail. I created the account and saw a “DENIAL NOTICE” for both of my parents “due to abandonment” that was issued JANUARY 4, 2024. My stomach dropped. Apparently they had notified us in August of 2023 (the day after our I-130 was approved) to send medical forms by November 23, 2023. We had never received any of these documents through the mail (neither did our lawyer or congressman) and they did not show up on the lawfully/case tracker app. How could USCIS tell congressman 6 days before the medical forms were due that they do not need anything from us and then in February tell us they are still processing our case after it had apparently already been denied a month earlier?!?! And now it was TOO LATE TO APPEAL.
LUCKILY our congressman was able to provide proof of our inquiries and our lawyer met with someone at the USCIS Chicago field office (which we never received any mail from) and they reopened our case due to their errors. They sent us new RFE for medical forms which we have sent and we are now waiting to hear back.
All of our notices, including the I-130 approval, had been coming from the Nebraska field office. The documents that were on the portal but were never mailed had been from Chicago Field Office. They also made a mistake in their denial notice stating my parents needed to depart the US within 30 days of receiving the denial notice because they entered the US illegally, which was FALSE because they had come here legally. Needless to say, it was an emotional and stressful rollercoaster.

There are many jobs and missions within the current business system which players hate and hope to avoid as the system is far too linear and fixed, Imagine if you could create a custom business with friends of what you enjoy doing. Taking the Biker MC heirachy into consideration for business terms, The main investor would be the CEO, over time your friends can buy into your business and become Vice Chairman, Head of a certain area ETC. This would make a lot better use of the current clan system too as the clan would in effect be an business employee list. I know theres probably a 1% chance of something like this happening but I am really hopeful that the businesses are much improved and not keeping the player being a small time criminal but actually rewarding you for spending the time and money and able to grow the business with friends. Pay for this could possibly be a reward for how well you have done and how many jobs/resupplies you have done per month (pay per month) This could be a very small or large chunk depending on how you have played.
Example - , you enjoy the Tow Truck, Salvage yard and car warehouse missions from GTA 5 Online, You and your friends would by a property and then fill it with what you want. You could buy a few tow trucks, multiple car lifts and make an area for fencing stolen cars like a dealership. Or you could buy multiple vans and trucks and start your very own haulage company

I’ve been NC for almost 7 years now. Going into this past winter, I submitted some poems that I wrote to an anthology… they wound up getting accepted and this past month the anthology was published! Mostly available for sale online but also for sale in some indie book stores.
This is my first time ever getting poetry published in a real book. I was really scared to share my poetry—I was always “too much” for my family whenever I tried to share things that I actually care about. Being “too much” is something that I often feel really insecure about. But I also felt really proud and excited about the publication.
I wound up telling a lot of friends about this poetry publication news. I wrote an email sharing a link to the publication and how much it meant to me to be published like this. Then I sent the email to some friends BCCed.
Maybe it’s just the sort of email most people don’t think they need to respond to? Very few friends emailed me back or talked to me about it. It’s been several weeks now so I’ve just accepted that most friends aren’t going to bring it up.
The poetry anthology is centered around surviving violence, so maybe that is another layer that makes friends feel awkward about it.
Whatever is going on, I’m sharing this here because it’s really triggered my old insecurities of being “too much” or “too annoying” for people... and a moment that I was really proud of has now become further evidence that I shouldn’t try to publish my poetry.

Hi everyone! I am in need of some advice, input, insights, and everything in between, and what better place to reach a large audience than social media? As many of you know, I am currently in school to receive my master's in social work, and if everything goes as planned, I will be a licensed master social worker in May of 2025. I have said for a while that I wanted to work with individuals on the Autism spectrum, and I have recently been granted a fantastic opportunity to do ABA work as a behavior tech while in grad school. This is where I need some help! Upon completion of this graduate program, I have MANY ideas as to my next steps as a professional. If anyone could give me insight into their experiences, feelings, etc regarding the listed options, it would be GREATLY appreciated.
Complete an online graduate certification program to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst to create and implement individualized treatment plans pros: more involved in the treatment process, career flexibility cons: can’t diagnose (Personally, this is a factor as an accurate ASD diagnosis takes a substantial amount of time, and I want to contribute to reducing wait lists)
Get a doctoral degree in psychology to become a licensed clinical psychologist to assess, diagnose, and treat pros: the ability to diagnose contributes to reducing the amount of time it takes for individuals with ASD to receive accurate diagnosis, career flexibility cons: lengthy, high probability would need to relocate
Work towards LCSW (potentially specializing in working with developmental disabilities) to provide services to individuals with autism and their families. Later, potentially get a doctoral degree in social work to further clinical practice, and eventually teach post-secondary education. pros: already on course with educational requirements, very interested in teaching post-secondary education, involvement in the treatment process, career flexibility cons: can’t diagnose ASD specifically, high probability I would need to do private practice to do what I specifically want to do

Do anyone knows a working way to create an account? I'm from Romania, i have an account from 5 years ago but my friends can't play the game.
We tried Chrome, Edge, Opera VPN and some random online VPN.
Some info i got: 1. From Cabal team: it's my browser problem, use different browser (didn't work ofc). 2. Use VPN (i tryed Opera VPN with North America selected (dind't work). 3. Use VPN but don't use an email you already tried (still dind't work with Opera). 4. Edge browser seems the best browser for the website (also it solves the errors on ecoin pages). But still can't make a new account.

Howdy. Newbie here...obvi. So I just downloaded MT4 -- from what I think is the official site -- onto my mac M2. When I open the app it seems to be running in terminal, which (slightly?) freaks me out. I downloaded MT5 and it runs in something called Wine64.
I have an older intel based mac that I have connected to monitors that I will run through this again. But my questions are: is running through terminal correct? Would it seem I did something wrong and if so is my computer gonna explode, lol jk, but I don't like apps opening Terminal.
Asides: it prompts me to create a demo account with an email, which I skipped for now. not sure if no account is related to computer using terminal as it seems MT4 for mac is a relatively new offering. I did search online and nothing is addressing this specific question in this way.

my wordpress service went from working great into account offline. i have tried reconnecting but to no avail. I have tried creating a new account to use from my self hosted wordpress but still unable to make it online.

I’ve had my KJ for a few months now and it’s been awesome. I’ve been worried though because I keep seeing people have bad experiences with customer service and warranty and hope I never had to deal with any of that.
Well I’ve always noticed my top gasket doesn’t create the greatest seal with my control tower but never thought too much about it because I don’t see smoke coming out the bottom of the control tower. It spins around easily when my vent gets sticky and it comes off often when I take my grill cover off. It also tilts heavily to one side when the top half is fully open cooking a pizza. I did some looking around online to see if that’s normal and apparently it’s not.
So I went to KJs website and submitted a warranty claim, within 3 days I got an email back saying they are sending me a new top mesh gasket even though I never even registered my warranty. There was no hastle and they were quick to respond. It was honestly a relieving experience to know they in fact do have some customer service and they are so quick to help out. I honestly didn’t have much hope, thinking I would just have new buy new gasket material myself judging by all the customer service horror stories I’ve heard.
I used offset smokers and normal charcoal grills for years but I have to say I love the KJ. I’ll be buying the Joe Jr sometime this year as well.

Enhancing Web Navigation through PARAMS

Understanding how to seamlessly incorporate email addresses into a website's URL represents a significant leap towards advanced web development and user interaction. This method, primarily achieved through the use of URL parameters (PARAMS), allows for a more dynamic and personalized web browsing experience. It enables developers to create more engaging, user-centric websites that can effectively communicate with visitors by utilizing their email addresses for various purposes, such as customization, pre-filled forms, or personalized greetings. This approach not only simplifies the user journey but also opens up new avenues for marketing strategies and customer engagement.
The technical execution of appending email addresses to URLs involves a nuanced understanding of web development practices, particularly in the manipulation of the query string. By leveraging the PARAMS element within a URL, developers can pass user-specific information, such as an email address, between web pages or to server-side scripts. This process requires careful consideration of URL encoding to ensure that special characters in email addresses do not interfere with the URL structure. Understanding these technicalities is essential for developers looking to enhance website functionality and offer a more tailored browsing experience to their users.

Command/Feature	Description
window.location.href	JavaScript property to get or set the URL of the current page
encodeURIComponent()	JavaScript function to encode a URI component, including email addresses, to ensure special characters do not interfere with the URL structure

Expanding the Use of URL Parameters for Email Integration

Integrating email addresses into website URLs using parameters is a powerful technique for personalizing the user experience and enhancing data tracking capabilities. This method involves appending email addresses or other user-specific data to URLs as query parameters, which can then be accessed and utilized by the web page or server-side scripts. For example, by including an email address as a URL parameter, a website can offer a personalized welcome message to the user or pre-fill forms with their information, reducing the effort required for form submissions and improving user satisfaction. Additionally, this approach can significantly benefit marketing efforts, allowing for the tracking of user engagement and the effectiveness of email marketing campaigns by monitoring how users interact with the website after clicking on a link embedded in an email.
The technical aspect of adding email addresses to URLs involves careful encoding to ensure that special characters in email addresses do not disrupt the URL structure. The JavaScript function encodeURIComponent is essential in this context, as it makes email addresses safe to include in URLs by encoding characters such as '@' that could otherwise be misinterpreted by web browsers. Moreover, developers must also consider security and privacy implications, ensuring that sensitive information transmitted via URL parameters is protected, for example, by using HTTPS to encrypt data in transit. Implementing these techniques requires a balance between enhancing user experience and maintaining data security, emphasizing the need for best practices in web development and design.

Appending an Email to a URL

JavaScript Example

const email = "user@example.com"; const baseUrl = "http://www.example.com"; const encodedEmail = encodeURIComponent(email); window.location.href = `${baseUrl}/?email=${encodedEmail}`; 

Enhancing User Experience Through URL Parameters

Embedding email addresses into URLs using parameters is a sophisticated approach aimed at customizing the user's online journey. This technique enables websites to deliver a more personalized experience by using the information transmitted through URL parameters. For instance, a website could automatically fill in a user's email address on a subscription form based on the parameters passed in the URL, thereby simplifying the process for users and increasing the likelihood of form submission. This method not only improves user engagement but also provides a seamless transition for users following links from emails, directly impacting the efficiency of email marketing campaigns by offering tailored content or special offers based on the user's previous interactions with the website.
However, the utilization of email addresses in URL parameters necessitates a thorough understanding of web security practices. Given the potential for sensitive information to be exposed in URLs, it's paramount that developers implement measures to safeguard this data. This includes ensuring that any webpage handling URL parameters over HTTPS to encrypt the data transmitted between the client and server. Additionally, developers should be cautious about how this data is stored or logged to prevent unintended disclosure of personal information. Adhering to these security measures can mitigate risks while harnessing the benefits of personalized web experiences through URL parameter integration.

FAQs on Integrating Email Addresses into URLs

1. Question: Is it safe to include email addresses in URLs?
2. Answer: Including email addresses in URLs can be safe if transmitted over HTTPS and if proper encoding is used. However, developers must be cautious of privacy concerns and ensure that sensitive information is handled securely.
3. Question: How do you encode email addresses for URL parameters?
4. Answer: Email addresses can be encoded using the JavaScript function encodeURIComponent() to ensure that special characters, such as the '@' symbol, are properly formatted for URL inclusion without breaking the structure.
5. Question: Can email parameters in URLs improve user experience?
6. Answer: Yes, by using email parameters, websites can offer personalized experiences, such as greeting users by name or pre-filling forms, enhancing the overall user experience.
7. Question: What are the privacy concerns with using email addresses in URLs?
8. Answer: The primary concern is the potential exposure of email addresses in server logs, browser history, or through referral headers, risking the user's privacy.
9. Question: How can I secure email information passed in URLs?
10. Answer: To secure email information, ensure that your website uses HTTPS to encrypt data transmitted between the client and server, and avoid storing sensitive information in URLs whenever possible.

Final Thoughts on URL Parameter Integration

Utilizing URL parameters to include email addresses in website URLs offers a unique opportunity to personalize the user experience and streamline interactions. This technique enables a direct and customized approach to web navigation, where users are greeted with content that resonates with their preferences and needs. Despite its benefits, the practice requires a nuanced understanding of web security and privacy considerations to protect user data effectively. Secure practices, such as using HTTPS and proper data encoding, are essential to prevent potential data breaches and ensure user trust. As the digital landscape continues to evolve, leveraging URL parameters for email integration represents a forward-thinking approach to web development. It underscores the importance of creating user-centric websites that prioritize security, privacy, and personalized experiences, marking a significant step towards more engaging and responsive web environments.

Introduction

There was a post that was recently posted and it's been asked a ton: "How do I get a computer science related job after I graduate from KSU?". I thought I'd share this with everyone because I've been down this path and managed to make it on the other side. This will be a long explanation and hopefully, can serve as some sort of guide for students. That being said, things are subjective and this is not the holy grail of how to make it. You might find all, some or none of it useful. I encourage testimonials and whatnot in the comments. Can be applied to all majors but, this primary for technology-based majors since I am in tech field. YMMV

About Me

I've been around here for a while. I was a student not too long ago, studied computer science for my bachelors. After graduating, I work in FAANG and have worked in big tech for a while. No, I don't work at Amazon. I am a senior software engineer. I touch frontend & backend technologies. I participate in hiring frequently.

Starting Out

Over the years and while attending here, there's been a weird disconnect between students, goals and how to achieve them in tech. Goals can be anywhere from learning new technologies, getting internships to securing a full time job before or after you graduate. As much as I would love for there to be a path where you can do minimum effort and still succeed, there isn't. A lot of you seem to not realize that. Getting a degree in this field is not enough. Doing projects that show no passion / interests is not enough. Being stuck on tutorials for years is not enough.
This field is much like a sport. There are very few people that can just be great without any effort. You have to be consistent. Four years is not a lot of time. It goes by super fast. If you constantly push things back and you do not take the time to learn the fundamentals outside the classroom, you will not succeed in this field. This field is at a point where there's so many of you. Every post on LinkedIn and news articles said "hey, this field is a gold mine and you'll make six figures out the gate". For a time, maybe that was somewhat true. As of writing this, it's not. You're going against people who have: better schools, better experience, etc. You have to find a way to diversify yourself early. If you can't diversify, you're going to be in a tough place later down the road. Knowledge not something you can just consume in less than an hour and pass an interview. You have to know it well. If you don't, there's someone else who will.
There's an interesting connotation in life that you're either born super smart or an absolute idiot and that you have to be smart to do computer science / programming. There are people with raw IQ that can consume things like no one you've ever met but, that's such a rarity that there's no realistic use in using that as a data point. If you ever took the time to ask someone who you thought was really good at something, they would tell you something along the lines of: I love what I do and I spent a lot of time doing this. There are hours and hours of time people put into passions that you don't / will never see. Meaning that they can no-life this shit for days on end and still come back and do it some more. It doesn't mean that you can't succeed if don't do that but, computing / programming is a very boring field if you do not enjoy it. I would seriously contemplate why you're going through this. If you're doing it for money and only money, you're going to end up miserable. No amount of money can make you do something you hate. It'll wear you down both mentally and physically. If you're doing this because it's a mix of passion and money, you're like everyone else and you gave yourself a better shot. It's a mental thing. Don't climb uphill if you rather sit at the bottom. Don't complain if you're at the bottom and you rather be at the top. There's nothing wrong with that. But, don't do it. For what it's worth, I am not the smartest person. I graduated high school with a low GPA and took college seriously because I wanted to do more with my life. Plus, being on hourly forever sounds horrible imo. Use the opportunities that life has given to you and run with it. Run far, run smart and run in a direction that you can see yourself going long-term.
Additionally, college is what you make of it. Blaming professors or the program (while I do agree sometimes) is not a solution. Blaming professors that don't speak English is a cop out. If you work in tech, you'll be interacting with a lot of people from other countries. Suck it up. Work with it instead of against it. Professors and TAs can only teach you so much. Classes are meant to give you a taste of what it's like in that domain / space. It's not meant to fix all your issues and show you the way. That's for you to do on your own time. Take accountability of your own success, explore the internet (it's free) and lock in. Stop looking for opportunities to find you. Actively seek them out yourself.

Networking

Make connections with people. I cannot stress how important this is. Especially on the Marietta campus, there's a lot of you that go to class, stingers / food, run to class and immediately start gaming and think that when your classes are over, you're done for the day. That's a bad mindset. Make connections with people. Sit with random people at stingers or wherever. Have a conversation. Find a common interest. Don't harass men / women for a date while you're at it. Keep it cool. A lot of people say "there's nothing to do at KSU and there's no life on campus". That's not true at all. It's true if you choose to put your head in a box and refuse to look up. Join a club that interests you. Get close to the people in that club who actively attend and build a personal relationship. If there's no club with your interest, make a club. Fuck it, lead one. You can make one officially through KSU or add a discord server to the student hub and go from there. You'll meet some really cool like-minded people. Lots of my connections have come from randomly showing up to a club, getting out of my comfort zone and weirdly enjoying it.

Interviewing

Brush up on your interview skills. Technical and behavioral abilities matter. Culture fit matters. A lot of you seem to walk around with almost zero personal hygiene. Clean yourself up, practice talking to people and get places. There's been this stigma that culture fit doesn't matter as much as technical and if I have great technical abilities, they'll just accept me. I can tell you for an absolutely fact that I have thrown out / tossed out resumes from highly technical individuals that had zero people skills. If you can't communicate and clean up, you're more of a risk than someone who does all those things and has a bit less technical ability. I can teach someone how to code. I can't teach someone how to take a shower or brush their teeth. Know more than just Leetcode. Learn system design. Take a course / watch a video on Linux and bash. Do not be afraid of the command line interface. Understand how things work at a deeper level. Take feedback seriously. Do not argue with people. If you future manager / colleague tells you that you need to work on things, work on those things. There's nothing worse than a co-worker in denial.

Jobs

As for internships and full time opportunities, there's a few classes at KSU that you really want to master: Data structures, Algorithm Analysis, Operating Systems and Discrete math. If you're in a major that doesn't have those classes, spend the extra money and take those classes. Do not take them online if you can afford to come in person. Take the hardest / best professors for those courses. Super important. Leetcode is quite literally, those classes merged together in a prompt-style format. If you do not understand those concepts, you will not make it in this field let alone pass an interview loop.
Data Structures - Varies. Rate my professor.
Algorithm Analysis - Varies. Rate my professor.
Operating Systems - Do not take Carla McManus if you want to learn the concepts fluently.
Discrete Math - Andy Wilson.
Having solid resume is super important. Many people who don't secure things and get automatically rejected, etc have horrible resumes. Spend the money (it's a lot) to get your resume professionally written. It's worth it. Invest in your long term career aspirations. Templates are cool but, they don't convey information well and come across as lazy. Don't put every achievement ever on there. I don't want to see a wall of text. No, I don't care if you're a Boy Scout. No, I don't care if you bussed tables in high school. You get the point. The rule of "only one page" is complete and total bullshit. If you have projects and prior work experience related to the role, list it down. Don't conserve space for the sake of keeping it one page. You're limiting yourself. I know the career center actively tells people on handshake to keep it to one page. They're wrong. I landed internships & full time roles consistently at big tech / FAANG for years with a 1.5 / 2 page resume. Do not lie on your resume. If you can't solve a leetcode hard consistently with the technology / language of choice, you don't know it well enough. I have interviewed a ton of students and people that list they know C or Python and can't write recursion or gives me a solution in O(N^2) or worse. Aim for O(N), use a hashmap / hash table when you can and do it in a language that doesn't make you fight the runtime / compiler. Trust me, we know when you're making shit up. If you don't know something say it and then, tell them to explain more. This way, you show that you have the capability to learn. Ask smart questions. Do not ask questions that have already been answered. Take notes.
On your resume, experience is only real experience if you get a W2. If you don't get a W2, you can't claim it as professional experience. A lot of background checks these days are drilling down on incorrect information. I have seen instances where people lie, get an offer, company finds out through a comprehensive background check and their offer is gone. Do not put the fate of your future income on a lie. I cannot stress this enough. A lot of students and people actively lie.
Secondly, the trick to getting a good internship is timing. A lot of you wait until Nov - Dec to find an internship and then, throw your hands up when no one responds. That's not a good mindset. Solid internships are recruiting in end of July to August. By September, the amount of open spots are extremely thin. Local companies tend to look for internships during this time. Internships are about luck after that. Reach out to people in your circle to increase your odds. A referral goes a long way. Prior experience through projects that are complex and unique go a long way. It's a numbers game. Don't aim for the highest thing ever without some sort of referral. You can still apply but, do not expect much from it. Start small and work your way up. It's extremely rare to go from KSU undergrad sophomore to Google. It takes a lot of outside work. If you happen to land the internship, make sure that you get recommendations at the end. Having real people who you worked with in a professional capacity that can vouch for you is huge. If you're in your junior year and you get an internship, make sure you try to secure a full time offer. Loop in your boss, mentor, etc. Make your expectations clear. Reach their expectations and beyond.
Thirdly, full time opportunities are rare and most new grads that get hired come from the previous year's intern pool. If you don't get converted, you have to make up that time searching for a job during your senior year. If you do get converted, keep looking because companies are flaky these days. Always have a Plan B & C. Never fully count on Plan A. If you don't have internships across four years, it's over for you. From a hiring manager perspective, it's an absolute red flag when we come across someone with a degree and no internships. That's effectively going against the point of college. You'll have to settle for crumbs and crawl your way up. Very few make it out of that hole. The bar is significantly higher. Especially, now.

Searching for an Opportunity

Do not wait until after you graduate to find a job. Jan - Early May are when most companies finalize budgets and hire. If you wait until after May, you'll might have to wait until after the Summer and possibly, October for hiring to pick up again. Proactivity is nothing but good for you. If you can't be proactive then, you won't succeed in this field. Referrals matter but, personal connections with the hiring manager / recruiter are much, much better. Work your way up. Don't discount an opportunity because it doesn't pay well. Get as much experience as you can and bounce around. Do not go into the gate thinking you're going to make $120K - $140K / yr out the gate. You're most-likely going to make $68K - $75K / yr depending on the location. Do not listen to LinkedIn posts that claim all this cool shit and how to do it. Trust me, it's bullshit. Don't pay attention to it. It's a brag-fest. It's a long road. Start walking on it early and you'll reach the other side when it matters most. Trust in it.
The reality of this economy is that highly experience people have been laid off. Those people are applying to entry level roles and those roles are being filled for cheap. In addition, watch out for fake postings and scam jobs. If you take a contract job, always keep looking. Avoid jobs that will providing "training" before you even start. Avoid jobs that are less than week old. You want things that are fresh. It's a numbers game. Apply for 300+ jobs every week until you get a response back. Don't be discouraged by employers who don't respond or ghost you. Keep at it. It's a mental game.

Conclusion

I think if you do these things, you'll end up at a great spot after four years. If you're just now coming across this and you've been slacking, use this an opportunity to wake the fuck up, light a fire under your ass and lock in. If you're still in denial after reading this post and you have yet to get anything, light a fire under your ass, come to terms with it and lock in.
If you're in it to do zero work, cheat on your classes, mess around for four years and somehow wing a high salary or a job in this field, good luck. You're fucked. You're so fucked, in-fact, that you'll be wondering "why me and why is it so hard" for a long ass time. Don't be that person.

Programming language is dependent on the role and what the company favors. Common ones are Java, C++, Python, C#, JavaScript / TypeScript and C. You can look at jobs that you would like to work someday, look at the requirements and use that as a basis on where to start learning. Things constantly change. Fundamentals build up on each other. Start small. Work your way up. Do not dream big. Dream realistic. Everyone is different.

Hello everyone,
I’m feeling pretty stupid and embarrassed. I am currently unemployed and looking for work, so I have been sending out many resumes everyday. I got contacted by txt asking if I was still looking for work. I advised that I was and she advised that someone would contact me via What’s App. (Please note that this entire process was filled with Red Flags, but since it was no risk at first. They advised I would be helping sellers to increase their online presence but adding product reviews, by doing this would receive a commission for each task, you have to do 40 tasks per set and at least 2 sets per day to qualify for the wages. 2 days 150USDC, 5 days 350USDC, 15 days 1500 USDC, and 30 days 3000USDC. You will never get past day 4. So I did my training and made 49USDC, and they gave me a bonus one time gift of $60, plus $10 for your first log in, so after the first day you get $120USDC. You can walk away after this and I suggest you do. The second day they will give you a bonus of 150USDC, and you start to get combo tasks, these give really high commissions, but you have to add funds to complete the order and you have to complete all 40 tasks before you can withdraw.
Since they were asking for the amount I had already earned I made the deposit with the money from the first day. This created another issue. Once you made the deposit and complete the order you will now have a larger balance which means the orders will be bigger and offer bigger commissions. After I got a second combo order what was now $400 more and stupidly I made the deposit. This however did pay off and I got all my money after completing the set.
Now we on day 3, I had left $200 USDC to start the orders for each day I always like to stay low and prefer smaller commissions. I did get a combo order again this time is $800 and because I had cashed out the day before I was confident that everything would be great. But after that order I got another combo order this time it wanted $1000. At this point I backed off. In total I made about $500USDC, but I deposited $800 USDC and that get frozen and stuck because you can’t withdraw without completing the tasks.
If I were to complete this order I’m sure there will another right away that will be $2000, then $4000, it will become so much that you can’t afford.
Clearly they were showing me that’s it’s trusted because I was able to make a few withdrawals.
I had a feeling it was a scam, but after getting the money in my bank account from e transfer I got to excited, thinking I hit a jackpot job. They never intended to let me get past day 4.
They even had a what’s app group, where people would chat about daily lives and post pics of their big daily salaries, but all these people are also fake.
When I could not afford to finish I emailed their Customer Support, via Telegram and they responded, your so lucky to get a combo order, I said no I’m not cause I can’t afford they say once you complete the task it will be put right back, but you can only cash out after the set of 40 is complete.
I see some people lost way more then I did, but this needs to stop, preying on the broke and unemployed lowest form of a human being.
I wish I had saw these posting earlier, or walked away with my $500 and call it day, but desperation and greed blinded me, now I’m worse off. Please research before you get involved. I have never felt so stupid and humiliated because the red flags were there and I ignored them. I’ve seen similar jobs but not exactly the same, anyone ever see this one.

So, I'm a former Labor and Employment attorney. Straight out of law school, I got a job at a botique HR firm and I did nothing but litigate employment cases and advise HR managers on compliance issues for 5 years. I hated practicing law, so I quit. For the last 11 years my wife and I have supported ourselves quite nicely by self-publishing fiction novels. She does most of the writing, I edit and do all the administrative stuff that comes with self-publishing (marketing, formatting, creating products we sell online, handle accounting and taxes, really a jack of all trades). Well, now the self-publishing industry is in decline. There are a number of reasons for this, but mostly I think it's because there are SO many other forms of enterntainment available that simply weren't there when we started writing 11 years ago (Tik tok, streaming services, etc.). So, I decided to rejoin the workforce. I still do not want to practice law (and it would be very difficult for me to find a job being out of the legal world for so long anyway), but I thought I might enjoy HR. I figured with my background as a labor lawyer, I would have no trouble getting a job. So, I scheduled myself to take the PHR in June and started applying for jobs. I've heard nothing so far, which I found a bit surprising. Then, I come across this post: https://www.reddit.com/humanresources/comments/1crsrik/what_is_going_on/ I'm like WTF? If seasoned HR professionals cannot find a job. How can I? Now, I'm just kind of at a loss as to how to proceed. Should I continue my current course or look for another industry? Any sage wisdom would be appreciated.

Im just wondering what happens if I buy a hard copy of animal crossing being that I’ve already created my island with the game i downloaded online through the eshop. I just would rather have my island on a hard copy game and I’m also curious as to if I can somehow copy my island to the hard copy if I get one???
