a homophone in korean would be spelled the same exact way in korean since it's a phonetic language (afaik)

so, again, assuming all of the sounds in the op are indeed the same exact sound, then i think it's just cause the way they're romanized is inconsistent

but i need somebody to confirm

so far, i've noticed that some subs actually have a minimum karma requirement to post on, so i guess that's one, but other than that, are there any other practical uses?

I think clicking that you're not interested in some videos helps.

so like, if you keep getting recommended videos for a specific channel, click on "not interested", and it should eventually work.

I did a coding boot camp (Revature) and then had a 2yr contract with them. Ended up getting 2 projects where I did fuck all (but pretty underpaid) but could work from home like half of the week. Covid made me permanently WFH. Once the contract was up I got a new job where I make 60% more and somehow do even less work.

Of the people I still talk with from the boot camp (my roommates) we have:
* 1 guy at the same place I used to be at. He works 60hrs/week minimum. He always had to be in office prior to Covid and they're very eager for him to stop being WFH.
* 1 guy who worked at a different place but also does fuck all. He recently got a new job where he kind of works - maybe 15hrs/week? With Covid he's now permanently WFH.
* 1 guy who had a contract with the TSA and got bought out. WFH because of Covid, but his "office" can be any number of cities where they have an office.

i've heard that coding boot camps are a scam, but i'm guessing it's one of those ymmv types of things

-

anyway, do you mind sharing how the experience was? grueling? strenuous?

i've always been (or at least i think i am) a math-centric person (have never received lower than an A in any math class i've ever taken), but i've also never taken anything above some calculus (got a b.a. in something completely unrelated to math)
