“First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait.” Taken from the Velvet Underground about buying drugs, but I think it’s pretty applicable to everything.
I love Tearaway on Vita. Very creative use of all the handheld’s features (cameras, touch screen, rear touchpad, microphone, motion). The best bit is seeing your fingers bursting through the back and into the screen. The PS4 version of the game really shows how disappointing it is not to play on the Vita, even with vastly improved hardware.
This isn’t too exciting given the region, but I had a great-great-grandfather in the Appalachians who supposedly died in a domestic dispute. It was once mentioned, however, that said “domestic dispute” was actually my relative snitching on a bootlegging operation.

Pretending to break into my coworker’s car (with their permission) as if I were using a bump key. I was training someone else at a security job to look for this behavior because we were in an area with a ton of vehicle theft. Honda Civics frequently went missing this way. Easy to swap parts.
And rice makers!
I have a mini pair of those as well and they’re also great!
I’ve used my Knipex 5” cobra pliers more than anything else in the toolbox, except maybe a torx set. Solid tools.
My dude, what are you putting in your iced tea
If you want something more esoteric, there’s metafiction (see William H. Gass’ “Philosophy and the Form of Fiction“ for the originations of the term) and authors like Borges (“Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote”) and Nabokov (Pale Fire)
Gonna take the hit on this one: a Joe Rogan bro. You probably know what I’m talking about, but to be more clear: aggro “alpha male,” gym rat or has a weirdly intense workout routine, takes a bunch of supplements, ready to believe anything pitched as “they don’t want you to know this,” weird diets of meat, “edgy” humor that’s more nodding and agreeing with prejudices than being funny, etc. Oh and listens to Joe Rogan willingly.
Don’t forget the second-rate LJS: Captain D’s
Example of note: France won’t sell Sudafed, so bringing any might be a risk unless you have a printed and signed rx. That being said, their pharmacies are pretty good. Shoutout to the migraine medication with codeine in it.
One particular winter I frequently wore a long coat and had longer wavy-ish hair. Two different people (separate occasions) said that I looked like Sam Kinison, each time with a disclaimer that I looked better than he did.
Bust a mess.
Do a real paint job.
Phone sizes are just goofy. It shouldn’t be straining against your pocket like it’s trying to escape when you’re sitting.
He’s a master at knowing what will make someone click
He effectively dedicated a couple years to “study” this, which is exactly what you can do with your life when you live in Greenville, NC.
5 apps with 2 responses, and locally? You’re doing really well. Seriously. It sounds like you are qualified enough to get what you want, and the number of responses already is a very good sign.
Small rant:
My experience: a Ph.D., two years applying through Indeed/LinkedIn/directly, several rounds of professional development to overhaul networking approaches/resumes, maybe 150 applications, and I maybe hear back in a couple months with a form letter rejection. The few interviews I’ve had were either a company looking for a unicorn (or just lying about a position), something that lead to a task-based assessment, or a goddamn AI-analyzed one-way interview which is the biggest red flag.
Tl;dr it’s really bad out there, and you honestly have great results so far, even if it doesn’t seem like it! All the best to you, and I hope you find something you’ll enjoy.
