Modern day job hunt really helps me understand why people would rob banks

payneland neighbors AU

(a.k.a. one of my million WIPs that may actually be seeing the light of day)

edwin is an Alive Boy, who has had a near-death experience being bullied while he was at school, so he can now see ghosts.

charles is a Dead Boy, who is starting a detective agency out of his new flat, which happens to be next door to edwin's.

edwin does not realize charles is a ghost at first.

they are mutually down bad and trying hard (and failing) to be normal about it.

pining and shenanigans ensue.

should be able to get this posted to Ao3 sometime later today as chapter 1/? of who knows how many because apparently payneland has made me that person with multiple multichapter WIPs, lmao ~*~*~

Edwin does not think about his new neighbor across the hall.

(Said new neighbor's name, it will turn out, is Charles.

And Edwin most certainly does not fixate on the compelling glint of Charles' single earring in the sun, or the curve of his smile so easily offered.)

The story of it is this: Edwin had held the door to their building for him one fine spring day. Simple politeness, and moreover basic human decency, both dictated this was the proper thing to do for someone carrying such an absurd quantity of unwieldy parcels.

He had not expected the stranger to look so taken aback.

(He had an honest-to-goodness crystal ball propped precariously atop a stack of antique-looking books; and those teetered on top of several cardboard boxes near buckling under the weight of whatever they held within. A cricket bat protruded from the pin-encrusted rucksack slung over his shoulder. People did insist on having such incongruous pastimes, Edwin thought; and, apparently, atrocious packing habits to go along with them.

But the titles of the volumes Edwin managed to glimpse were as intriguing as the crystal ball was misguided—and he'd found himself rather helplessly curious.

"Cheers, mate!" the person he will soon know to be Charles had said, sounding obscenely grateful as he manouevred his way inside, and had flashed Edwin a grin so radiant and wide it hurt Edwin's cheeks in sympathy just to look at it.

Still, Edwin tried to think no more on him; nor on how surprised he'd appeared to be at Edwin's tiny show of kindness—at Edwin's perceiving him at all, even. Tried being the operative word.)

He'd been aware Jenny was letting the rooms across the hall, because she asked him several weeks ago if he might know any potential tenants. Edwin had informed her he did not. His last neighbor had listened to ungraciously-loud electropop at all hours of the night and harbored a seemingly endless stream of stray cats despite Jenny's very clear policy against animals.

Edwin would far prefer the space to stay blessedly vacant and blissfully quiet for as long a stretch as possible. He deserved some sort of a reprieve, he'd thought.

it seems he is not about to get one.

Edwin is reading when he hears a muffled string of colorful swearing, the lugging of things, the scraping of furniture across hardwood floors. While he may be able to studiously avoid thinking about the beautiful boy he'd met downstairs, Edwin cannot escape the inevitable and inconvenient fact that they will now be living in proximity. The telltale commotion that can only be made by someone moving in comes right to his proverbial stoop.

Who else could it be but him?

Edwin sighs. The only thing for it, he supposes, is to go over and introduce himself.

the hallmark of Peak Fiction is shoehorning a very serious conversation about a very serious past conflict in an unrelated scene, in the form of snarky banter played for laughs, so that the writer can pretend they listen to audience feedback, while not needing to fully think of addressing the issue and fully sweeping it under the rug because it would be inconvenient to paint the involved characters as dumbasses/vile. Bonus points if it literally goes nowhere and it can be removed from the scene without affecting the flow of the dialogue.

And if it makes me want to eat my own bones because I feel the urge to beat the involved characters to death with a nailed bat, that's just a plus :)

Somehow I have gone my entire life under the impression that Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy were the same thing

Cue me growing increasingly confused and disturbed for the first two hours of a FFXVI playthrough on YouTube as I watched graphic violence and sexual content play out on screen with the latent belief that Mickey Mouse was going to show up at some point...

hey the post you made abt the israeli/palestine conflict is so much more conplicated than tumblr "activists" are making it out to be is literally so correct and so fucking important to have been said thank you so much

@manicpoetic Thanks so much! I'm really glad I made it. While I was typing I was like what am I even writing this for no one is gonna read it especially the people who probably need to bc it's longer than 3 sentences....but it has gained more traction than I had expected which has been encouraging.

I really am not an expert but that's sort of the point, like... I have read the news every day for at least the past 6 years and have read almost every article several newspapers have published on this conflict in that time, and I am still not sure of all the details nor do I think my stupid takes would be very helpful to anyone. Yet I knooooow I am more informed than Steven Universe Blogger #77 who is suddenly very confidently advocating for terrorist organizations and comically oversimplified solutions?? Like man some people on this site really need to learn to get humbled. Not every issue can be simplified down to a 3 sentence text post and you in your college dorm are probably not coming up with solutions that haven't been considered by international organizations. Some stuff is simple, yeah, and sometimes it really is just that the powers that be won't adopt these solutions. But there are still a lot of aspects to most issues that aren't being discussed on social media, and a lot of the time people refuse to engage with the fact that The Powers That Be do exist whether we like them or not.

Willing the roadblocks to solutions away through text posts isn't going to happen, like, ever, and there are some issues that can't be solved through mass social media campaigns just to shift public opinion. The confidence with which people make really violent and reductive posts without doing the bare minimum of research on what they are talking about is really alarming, and the whole "I'm not reading all that 😂🤪" attitude about anything that challenges the 2 sentence quippy slogan they reblogged is doing serious damage.

Anyway, sorry to write a whole nother essay, but it is nice to hear some people are pushing back against this kind of simplified thinking. Not everything is a sports team type game and not everyone engaging with an issue beyond hashtags is trying to obscure The Truth. Like some people just really need to accept the fact that just because you refuse to educate yourself on a topic doesn't mean there is nothing to learn.

Hiring Developers on Contract: Freelance Platforms Vs IT Agencies

According to Bloomberg – the dominant search engine site, Google has about half of the workforce who work as contractors and freelancers and do not enjoy the benefits of full-time employees of Google.

In the social era, where businesses openly accept working with Developers on a contractual basis, ‘Freelancing Platforms’ and ‘C2C Talent Outsourcing IT Agencies’ have successfully filled the hiring gap. These businesses help in the collaboration of skilled developers with businesses that are looking to hire on contract.

But, how does one decide between hiring from Freelance Websites or IT Agencies?

Well, it depends on your specific needs, the nature of the project, and your preferences. Let’s list the considerations:

Project Complexity

When dealing with complex projects, the scope of skill required is high and can’t be offered by a single freelancer.

Agencies have diverse talents associated with them who are trained to deliver multifaceted projects smoothly.

Contractors from freelancing platforms will provide expertise for an individual skill so if your project requires a breadth of skills, hiring from an Agency will be a wise decision.

Budget Constraints

In a situation where budget is a constraint, the most cost-effective solution would be to select from a freelancing platform. One can evaluate multiple bids, screen skilled professionals, and finalise one that fits your budget criteria.

On Contract Developers from agencies bring expertise in multiple fields, and complete project support, and thus may offer higher costs compared to freelancers, but will surely bring more value in the long run.

Timeline

Freelance Developers from freelancing platforms are more suitable for projects with short timeframes. Their flexibility and professionalism help them to deliver prompt results with great quality.

Hiring Developers from an Agency is ideal for long-term projects as it requires frequent changes, additional expertise and suggestions from experienced peers from time-to-time.

Risk Tolerance

Freelancing platforms maintain risk management by providing the option of rating and comments for freelancers, via which clients can make the hiring decision. Such systems aid employers in looking at transparent comments and filtering out candidates until one is finalized.

Contrarily, agencies ensure low risk, higher consistency and reliability via standard processes. Clients get agency support and also assurance of work getting done even if the hired talent is not available.

Long-Term Relationship

For clients with the vision of long-term work requirements, hiring from agencies can be a wise decision in terms of stability and surety of getting work done.

As freelancer from freelancing platforms won’t be available every time to take up your project as they might have their existing commitment.

Hence, opting to hire from agencies for long-term requirements ensures quick availability of required talent who are pre-vetted by the agency itself and are perfect fit for the projects, rather than going through the same process of putting up projects and selecting ideal freelancers from websites.

Quality of Work

When it comes to quality, both freelancers and agencies deliver excellence. It’s essential to review portfolios and previous projects.

Though, Agencies usually allot a Project Manager to foresee the progress of their shared Talents and act as escalation points. These Project Managers have personal KPIs to ensure the Talent is performing as expected; else a quick correction or replacement is made to make sure the project is not compromised unlike in the case of a Freelancer

Post-Project Support

Post delivery support is a crucial part of any project and clearly Agencies have an upper hand in ensuring the support commitments are fulfilled independent of the developer.

Before coming to a conclusion, let’s look at some pros and cons of contract developer hiring from freelance platforms and IT Agencies.

ProsFreelance PlatformsIT Talent Outsourcing Agencies1. Easy navigation with access to global talent. 2. Complete expertise in one specific skill. 3. Flexible schedule for remote project collaboration.1. Access to pre-screened and trained professionals. 2. Diverse expertise that leads to project efficiency. 3. Ensures quality work, continuous support, and client satisfaction.

ConsFreelance PlatformsIT Talent Outsourcing Agencies1. Lack of accountability can lead to project delays. 2. Freelancers might lack access to premium tools and resources. 3. Inconsistency among freelancers can lead to unpredictable project results.1. Agency charges are comparatively higher. 2. Complex hierarchies can lead to miscommunication.

What’s the Verdict

More than the source, what matters is to onboard the right talent for your project. Without appropriate talent, there’s no point in a great idea that’s not been able to get implemented.

The first step that needs to be taken is to evaluate your project requirements and prioritize them considering the combination of factors. It’s crucial to thoroughly vet both freelancers and agencies, communicate clearly about your expectations, and ensure that the chosen option aligns with your project goals and constraints.

Both these options have a bunch of pros and cons that can’t be neglected concerning the project’s requirements.

The last say depends upon client preference and the project type. We would recommend exploring both freelancing platforms and agencies to hire remote and skilled developers.
