My manager and I never turn our video on, we're working on other stuff during calls and can't do that with video on. A guy even pointed it out once and was like it's ok I understand you guys are busy

I always have my camera on. Who even cares at this point. I live in a studio apartment and wake up with just enough time to make coffee and throw clothes on and I still don’t care. Team meeting and no one has their camera on? Mine’s on. 1:1? Camera on. 7am? Camera on. 11pm? Camera. On. Idc if people keep theirs off but I really don’t know why everyone cares so much

Mac or HP or Dell: I prefer Mac notebooks. However it seems there might be limitations with the use of Skype or other applications based on materials I have seen. What do you all recommend is the best laptop for working at Deloitte?

What is the best way to attract a new mate? I got out of a 7 year relationship (he was cheating on me for half of it) and I’m so confused on where to even start. I have a therapist and working on my trust issues - but I have self confidence issues. I’ve been burned for being ‘unattractive’. But I’ve seen girls that are objectively more unattractive than me have mates. So it must be a confidence issue? Those girls seem to glow while I am so sad. Or it’s the guys I go on dates with?

Genuine question - why do people slide into DMs on here? Why would you spend time trying to get to know someone when there’s like a 1% chance you’re in the same geographical area and would have mutual interest in each other?
