I un-installed "World War Heroes" from my phone because I spent too much real money to play better than poorer players at like, over $100/week. I paid $30 for a high-powered sniper rifle, and so forth.

I un-installed "World War Heroes" from my phone because I spent too much real money to play better than poorer players at like, over $100/week. I paid $30 for a high-powered sniper rifle, and so forth.

I'm not reinstalling that game again until I'm out of ALL debts: $15,000 in student loans and $25,055 in my auto loan.

I still play other games on my phone but I don't spend real money egregiously on them like I did on World War Heroes.

I'm glad I cut up 7 credit cards and paid off the remaining balance on my last one.

Games would get me too carried away with microtransactions.

Now how fun can Diablo Immortal be without microtransacting? I played Diablo 1 in middle school so I'd like to get into that game's descendants.

Don't reinstall that game. Exploiting people like you is their business model.

[KS] I applied to work as an unloader at Harbor Freight in 2018 or 2019. When I told them at an interview I'd like to burn calories for a living by unloading trucks and therefore help myself lose weight while on the job, why wasn't I hired?

[KS] I applied to work as an unloader at Harbor Freight in 2018 or 2019. When I told them at an interview I'd like to burn calories for a living by unloading trucks and therefore help myself lose weight while on the job, why wasn't I hired?

Recruitment & Talent Acquisition

I wanted this unloading job to be my exercise routine that I'd be paid to burn calories on, so that's why I applied.

I don't remember the reason they gave me for not giving me the job, so why didn't they?

Do they not like the idea of a new employee using a physically demanding job as an exercise routine that pays them to burn calories and lose weight? How come?

This was at the Harbor Freight at the mall in Hutchinson, KS.

So to the hardware store managers who make hiring decisions: Why wouldn't the manager at the Hutch location be inclined to hire me in order to help me burn calories and lose weight by being paid to do so?

The only exercises I'm interested in partaking are the ones in which I'm paid, or having fun, or most ideally both.

I like how my current job (Doordash) sometimes has me take 40-pound bags of pet food up the stairs to customers' doorsteps. But it's not often enough that I get to move heavy merchandise while on the job. Otherwise, I'd probably weigh less than 200 lbs by now.

Harbor Freight would've only paid $8 / hour in the late 2010s so it wasn't a significant loss. I often make and exceed double that amount being a full-time third-party delivery driver these days.

Wait tables. You'll at least get your cardio in.

The decision making that goes on between two or three untrained employees for a minimum wage job is unknowable and probably wholly arbitrary. Usually people just hire candidates they like irrespective of other qualities (wow, she seemed really friendly).

I think the better question is why are you dwelling on this? There are lots of ways to increase physical activity if that’s your goal.
