I know a lot of scientists who were already getting let go around the winter because finding dried up.

And with the way the US is going, that well continues to shrink.

Same.

I went from middle (trying to reason with it) to left with:

“Maybe businesses are what saves us because the government continues to fail us” to “Star Trek was a dream scenario. We’re headed towards cyberpunk.”

High level Shitposting. I love it.

It was the fork of Poob after the original devs went crazy about sea creatures owning the government

I don’t even go to places where a cave is a option!

I didn’t think about that! It could be a hate fetish, like all the Republicans who rage about immigrants and then when you point to their immigrant wife, they get real offended.

🤤

How I felt watching this movie growing up.

I worked on a piece of software where they thought I was the same person as the two other folks, because we spoke/sound alike/had similar timestamps.

Really it was because we’d get group chatted the message and respond at the same time.

Getting banned from .ml is a badge of honor!

Don’t even feel bad

Truth.

I hate on HR. But I do not envy them having to pour through thousands of shitty applications.

We got about 7 stage-2 interviews out of 2000 applications. (Stage 1 is just the introduction and checking if they’re not a bozo. Stage 2 is actual dept folks)

At the entry level, it’s extremely tough now. You’re competing against engineers who are willing to work remotely for less. If you don’t have a portfolio, in my company, youre pretty much a NO.

It’s absolutely your geography. I lived in a town with very little tech folks, and I was chasing after every lead I could. Moved to a tech hub, and I was turning down offers left and right. I was also speaking at conferences and doing a lot with the tech community - doing hackathons and contributing to open source while I was unemployed.

Thank you! Felt like I was I playing a different game than everyone else.

Everyone mocked Starfield’s Neon for being Discount Cyberpunk. But at least they played it as straight as they could. Like, I could believe people live there and had a life.

It felt like Outer Worlds kept trying to make jokes about how cruel capitalism is versus tell a real story. Like, “Oh boy time to go increase shareholder value!” Or “I love Space nuts. I have to say that or I die.” Like wtf, where’s the subtlety?

It’s not Borderlands 3 bad, no where near it. But it’s pretty bad.

I wish I could be such a PoS where I join a company, propose a massive investment into something, see it’s failure and firing a bunch of staff, then bounce with a nice severance package to join a new company to repeat that over and over again.

My first taste of pure evil capitalism was when my fast food job in college was forcing everyone to switch to getting a “cash card” rather than a check. That card had a $0.25 fee every time you used it.

I don’t know if it still exists or if sane politicians told companies that shit was illegal.

Why? She needed a latte, and because she suffers from poor choices, she can now get a $8 latte that will cost $219 to pay back!

Don’t worry! Once all the H-1B visas get relaxed, we can push even MORE straight white men out!

Thank you! Subscribed and will start passing posts over there.
