Yeah it was confusing, deliberately so I feel

Oddly aggressive given your original comment explained sweet f a. Like you were being deliberately vague for attention. Calm down buddy.

^not how we talk, just a fun exaggeration.

I've wondered about free suites like these - how do they make money, do you know?

Just have them as a boredom snack. Carrot sticks, red capsicum sticks (I think they're bell peppers in the US), and little grape tomatoes - they have enough sweetness to feel snacky and if you just have them in a bowl next to your computer, they'll become a habit to munch on. Doesn't need to be a lot. But you'll be introducing a good dose of fibre and vitamins into your diet without much effort.

No need to share them with anyone but a professional.

You know when a friend's loved one dies and you tell them the usual sentiments about being there for them, anything you need etc? But there's rarely anything you can do, especially if you're not in their immediate circles where you could be making food or helping with estate etc.

Friend needed to do some job applications quite urgently, but was obviously not in the right headspace to do a great job. Friend asked me to help review drafts (I write for a living) and between us we got out 3 very solid applications.

I'm proud my skills had real and immediate use to someone. This white collar shit can feel pretty ineffectual sometimes, but this was a tangible help to someone so I'm proud of myself.

Or, 'hoses down easily'...

I've seen an uptick in pointless real estate photos on listings for genuinely nice properties. Close ups of vases, chairs next to windows, native flowers in the backyard (which are representative of the entire city I live in, so not exactly a unique characteristic), tightly framed photos of the owner's dog looking cute on outdoor furniture, maggie strutting around the lawn. 15 of 30 photos will be like this and I think, if you're not giving me the vase or the dog or the furniture, (I assume the local flaura and fauna comes included) then stop wasting my time with photos.

I get that it's meant to convey the lifestyle you can have if you buy the property, but a wider shot of the patio is going to do that better than a close up of a dog I don't have, on furniture I don't own.

I have to assume it's indulgent behaviour from the photographer who just wants more shots for their portfolio.
